We use geometric ideas coming from certain classic algebraic constructions to associate, to every classical field theory, a symmetric monoidal double functor from the double category of cobordisms with corners to a certain symmetric…

Topological conformal field theories are defined using only basic results from the theory of quasiconformal mappings.

We consider interpretable topological spaces and topological groups in a $p$-adically closed field $K$. We identify a special class of "admissible topologies" with topological tameness properties like generic continuity, similar to the…

Based on a fact that complex Clifford algebras of even dimension are isomorphic to the matrix ones, we consider bundles in Clifford algebras whose structure group is a general linear group acting on a Clifford algebra by left…

In this article, we construct a cofibrantly generated model structure on the category of spaces stratified over a fixed poset, and show that it is Quillen-equivalent to a category of diagrams of simplicial sets. Then, considering all those…

For any type of fundamental groupoid scheme, we construct an algebraic cohomology theory for varieties with coefficients in the base field. This is a minor variant of \'etale cohomology, involving neither de Rham complexes nor…

The theory of covering spaces is often used to prove the Nielsen-Schreier theorem, which states that every subgroup of a free group is free. We apply the more general theory of semicovering spaces to obtain analogous subgroup theorems for…

We generalize the notion of a crossed module of groups to that of a crossed module of racks. We investigate the relation to categorified racks, namely strict 2-racks, and trunk-like objects in the category of racks, generalizing the…

These are extended notes of a course given at Tulane University for the 2015 Clifford Lectures. Their aim is to present structure results for group schemes of finite type over a field, with applications to Picard varieties and automorphism…

A classical result in quantum topology is that oriented 2-dimensional topological quantum field theories (2-TQFTs) are fully classified by commutative Frobenius algebras. In 2006, Turaev and Turner introduced additional structure on…

We analyze definably compact groups in o-minimal expansions of ordered groups as a combination of semi-linear groups and groups definable in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields. The analysis involves structure theorems about their…

We introduce stratified toposes, which are toposes that are stratified by a suitable hierarchy of universes. The term `stratified topos' recalls the notion of stratified pseudotopos of Moerdijk and Palmgren (2002). However, the details of…

The paper is devoted to generalizations of actions of topological groups on manifolds. Instead of a topological group, we consider a local topological group generalizing the notion of a~germ or a~neighborhood in a topological group. The…

In the early 2000's Levine and Morel have given a geometric construction of an algebraic cobordism group defined for all smooth quasi projective varieties over a field. We show how we can refine their construction to build an Arakelov…

A structure theorem is proved for strongly holonomic modules over a quantum torus (a crossed product of a field with a free abelian group in which the field is central). This can be applied to give a structure theorem for finitely presented…

We survey some results on the structure of the groups which are definable in theories of fields involved in the applications of model theory to Diophantine geometry. We focus more particularly on separably closed fields of finite degree of…

We construct a topology on a given algebraically closed field with a distinguished subfield which is also algebraically closed. This topology is finer than Zariski topology and it captures the sets definable in the pair of algebraically…

Four lectures on invertible field theories at the Park City Mathematics Institute 2019. Cobordism categories are introduced both as plain categories and topologically enriched. We then discuss localization of categories and its relationship…

We determine the structure of the semisimple group algebra of certain groups over the rationals and over those finite fields where the Wedderburn decompositions have the least number of simple components. We apply our work to obtain similar…

We describe a new approach for classifying conjugacy classes of elementary abelian subgroups in simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field, and understanding the normaliser and centraliser structure of these. For toral…
