Let $\mathcal{H}_{k,g}$ be the Hurwitz stack parametrizing degree $k$, genus $g$ covers of $\mathbb{P}^1$. We define the tautological ring of $\mathcal{H}_{k,g}$ and we show that all Chow classes, except possibly those supported on the…
In the previous paper, we studied obstructions to the existence of complex sections on almost complex manifolds up to cobordism. We determined the obstruction rationally, in terms of the Chern classes. In this paper, we study the torsion…
Let $P$ be the image of a period map. We discuss progress towards a conjectural Hodge theoretic completion $\overline{P}$, an analogue of the Satake-Baily-Borel compactification in the classical case. The set $\overline{P}$ is defined and…
We explore finitely generated groups by studying the nilpotent towers and the various Lie algebras attached to such groups. Our main goal is to relate an isomorphism extension problem in the Postnikov tower to the existence of certain…
We answer in the affirmative two conjectures made by Klein and Williams. First, in a range of dimensions, the equivariant Reidemeister trace defines a complete obstruction to removing $n$-periodic points from a self-map $f$. Second, this…
We survey Weber's class number problem and its variants in the spirit of arithmetic topology; we recollect some history, present a relation to certain units and generalized Pell's equation, and overview a study of the $p$-adic limits of…
It is shown that the formula for the Chern classes (in the Chow ring) of blow-ups of algebraic varieties, due to Porteous and Lascu-Scott, also holds (in the cohomology ring) for blow-ups of symplectic and complex manifolds. This was used…
Let $\{ G_n\}_{n\in\w}$ be a closed tower of metrizable groups. Under a mild condition called $(GC)$ and which is strictly weaker than $PTA$ condition introduced in [22], we show that: (1) the inductive limit…
We consider regularly stable parabolic symplectic and orthogonal bundles over an irreducible smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. The morphism from the moduli stack of such bundles to its coarse…
We compute the p-torsion and p-adic etale cohomologies with compact support of period domains over local fields in the case of basic isocrystals for quasi-split reductive groups. For the p-torsion case, we follow the method used by Orlik in…
We explore a large family of one-dimensional (1D) topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) classified by $\mathbb{Z}$ invariants protected by space-time inversion symmetry. This finding stands in marked contrast to the conventional…
A twisted $\bar{\partial}_f$-Neumann problem associated to a singularity $(\mathscr{O}_n,f)$ is established. By constructing the connection to the Koszul complex for toeplitz $n$-tuples $(f_1,\cdots,f_n)$ on Bergman spaces $B^0(D)$, we can…
We use twisted sheaves to study the problem of index reduction for Brauer classes. In general terms, this problem may be phrased as follows: given a field $k$, a $k$-variety $X$, and a class $\alpha \in \Br(k)$, compute the index of the…
We introduce \emph{local Urysohn width}, a complexity measure for classification problems on metric spaces. Unlike VC dimension, fat-shattering dimension, and Rademacher complexity, which characterize the richness of hypothesis…
We study a class of quantum integrable systems derived from dimer graphs and also described by local toric Calabi-Yau geometries with higher genus mirror curves, generalizing some previous works on genus one mirror curves. We compute the…
The classification problem for principal fibre bundles over two-dimensional CW-complexes is considered. Using the Postnikov factorization for the base space of a universal bundle a Puppe sequence that gives an implicit solution for the…
Using the prescription of [1] for defining period integrals in the Landau-Ginsburg theory for compact Calabi-Yau's, we obtain the Picard-Fuchs equation and the Meijer basis of solutions for the compact Calabi-Yau CY_3(3,243) expressed as a…
Using known results about their mod-2 cohomology ring, we prove that the topological complexity of the space of isometry classes of n-gons in the plane with one side of length r and all others of length 1 equals either 2n-5 or 2n-6,…
The Information-Theoretic Schottky Problem treats the period matrix of a compact Riemann Surface as a compressible signal. In this case, the period matrix of a smooth plane curve is characterized by only 4 of its columns, a significant…
We consider topological insulators and superconductors with discrete symmetries and clarify the relevant index theory behind the periodic table proposed by Kitaev. An effective Hamiltonian determines the analytical index, which can be…
