For a space X acted by a finite group $\G$, the product space $X^n$ affords a natural action of the wreath product $\Gn$. In this paper we study the K-groups $K_{\tG_n}(X^n)$ of $\Gn$-equivariant Clifford supermodules on $X^n$. We show that…

We recall the emergence of a generalized gauge theory from a noncommutative Riemannian spin manifold, viz. a real spectral triple $(A,H,D;J)$. This includes a gauge group determined by the unitaries in the $*$-algebra $A$ and gauge fields…

In this paper we prove the homotopy lifting property for symmetric products $SP_{m}(X)$ and $F_{m}(X)$, with $X$ a Hausdorff topological space. Furthermore, we introduce a new tool, the theory of topological puzzles, to get a useful…

The space of de Rham currents supported in finitely many points in a Lie group $G$ has the structure of a filtered differential graded Hopf algebra. The product is given by convolution of compactly supported currents, and the co-product…

In this thesis we consider two constructions generalizing the classical Arf invariant. In the first construction an $\epsilon$-symmetric quadratic form over a ring with involution $R$ is lifted to an $\epsilon(1+T)$-symmetric quadratic form…

The geometric product, defined by Graf on the space of differential forms, endows the sections of the exterior bundle by a structure that is necessary to construct a Clifford algebra. The Graf product is introduced and revisited with a…

We introduce a geometric generalization of Hall's marriage theorem. For any family $F = \{X_1, \dots, X_m\}$ of finite sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$, we give conditions under which it is possible to choose a point $x_i\in X_i$ for every $1\leq i…

We prove a variety results on tensor product factorizations of finite dimensional Hopf algebras (more generally Hopf algebras satisfying chain conditions in suitable braided categories). The results are analogs of well-known results on…

The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a topological invariant that assigns to each space a quasi-topological group and is discrete on spaces which are well behaved locally. For a totally path-disconnected, Hausdorff, unbased…

Given a base manifold $M$ and a Lie group $G$, we define $\bar{\cal A}^H_M$ a space of generalized $G$-connections on $M$ with the following properties: - The space of smooth connections ${\cal A}^\infty_M = \sqcup_\pi {\cal A}^\infty_\pi$…

We construct secondary cup and cap products on coarse (co-)homology theories from given cross and slant products. They are defined for coarse spaces relative to weak generalized controlled deformation retracts. On ordinary coarse…

From any two median spaces $X,Y$, we construct a new median space $X \circledast Y$, referred to as the diadem product of $X$ and $Y$, and we show that this construction is compatible with wreath products in the following sense: given two…

We outline an extension of paraproduct decompositions for compositions of the form $A(f)$ where $A \in C^{d}(\mathbb{R}), f \in \Lambda_{\alpha}([0,1]^d)$ developed in [arXiv:2503.12629] and [arXiv:2508.13322] to settings where $(A \in…

Gelfand - Na\u{i}mark theorem supplies a one to one correspondence between commutative $C^*$-algebras and locally compact Hausdorff spaces. So any noncommutative $C^*$-algebra can be regarded as a generalization of a topological space.…

We prove that for a toric manifold $M$, any graded ring isomorphism $H^\ast(M) \to H^\ast(\prod_{i=1}^{m}\CP^{n_i})$ is induced by a diffeomorphism $\prod_{i=1}^m \CP^{n_i} \to M$.

A general structure theorem on higher order invariants is proven. For an arithmetic group, the structure of the corresponding Hecke module is determined. It is shown that the module does not contain any irreducible submodule. This explains…

We study the cup product on the Hochschild cohomology of the stack quotient [X/G] of a smooth quasi-projective variety X by a finite group G. More specifically, we construct a G-equivariant sheaf of graded algebras on X whose G-invariant…

Hopf crossed products, or in other words, cleft comodule algebras form a special but important class in Hopf-Galois extensions. To discuss this interesting subject, we will start with the more familiar group crossed products, and then see…

Kitaev's toric code is constructed using a finite gauge group from gauge theory. Such gauge theories can be generalized with the gauge group generalized to any finite-dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra. This also leads to generalizations…

We prove the Hurewicz theorem in homotopy type theory, i.e., that for $X$ a pointed, $(n-1)$-connected type $(n \geq 1)$ and $A$ an abelian group, there is a natural isomorphism $\pi_n(X)^{ab} \otimes A \cong \tilde{H}_n(X; A)$ relating the…
