We consider a filtration on the cohomology of the structure sheaf indexed by (not necessarily reduced) divisors ``at infinity''. We show that the filtered pieces have transfers morphisms, fpqc descent, and are so called cube invariant. In…

Given a Lagrangian cobordism $L$ of Legendrian submanifolds from $\Lambda_-$ to $\Lambda_+$, we construct a functor $\Phi_L^*: Sh^c_{\Lambda_+}(M) \rightarrow Sh^c_{\Lambda_-}(M) \otimes_{C_{-*}(\Omega_*\Lambda_-)} C_{-*}(\Omega_*L)$…

Inspired by Lurie's theory of quasi-unital algebras we prove an analogous result for $\infty$-categories. In particular, we show that the unital structure of an $\infty$-category can be uniquely recovered from the underlying non-unital…

In this paper, we recall Quillen's plus construction for high-dimensional smooth manifolds and the solution to the group extension problem. We then develop a geometric procedure due for producing a "reverse" to the plus construction, a…

In \cite{rupel3},the authors defined algebra homomorphisms from the dual Ringel-Hall algebra of certain hereditary abelian category $\mathcal{A}$ to an appropriate $q$-polynomial algebra. In the case that $\mathcal{A}$ is the representation…

Putman and Wieland conjectured that if $\tilde{\Sigma} \rightarrow \Sigma$ is a finite branched cover between closed oriented surfaces of sufficiently high genus, then the orbits of all nonzero elements of $H_1(\tilde{\Sigma};\mathbb{Q})$…

We give a geometric interpretation of sheaf cohomology for higher degrees n in terms of torsors on the member of degree d=n-1 in hypercoverings of type r=n-2, endowed with an additional data, the so-called rigidification. This generalizes…

We prove the so called Liv\v{s}ic theorem for cocycles taking values in the group of $C^{1+\beta}-diffeomorphisms of any closed manifold of arbitrary dimension. Since no localization hypothesis is assumed, this result is completely global…

$A_\infty$ categories are a mathematical structure that appears in topological field theory, string topology, and symplectic topology. This paper studies the cyclic homology of a Calabi-Yau $A_\infty$ category, and shows that it is…

We consider Legendrian links and tangles in $J^1S^1$ and $J^1[0,1]$ equipped with Morse complex families over a field $\mathbb{F}$ and classify them up to Legendrian cobordism. When the coefficient field is $\mathbb{F}_2$ this provides a…

In this paper we study a new topological invariant $\Cat(X,\xi)$, where $X$ is a finite polyhedron and $\xi\in H^1(X;\R)$ is a real cohomology class. $\Cat(X,\xi)$ is defined using open covers of $X$ with certain geometric properties; it is…

Holographic duals for CFTs compactified on a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ with a twist are cast in the language of wedge holography. $\Sigma$ starts as part of the field theory geometry in the UV and becomes part of the internal space in the…

In this extended note we give a precise definition of fully extended topological field theories \`a la Lurie. Using complete $n$-fold Segal spaces as a model, we construct an $(\infty,n)$-category of $n$-dimensional cobordisms, possibly…

We propose a general framework for integrable field theories in arbitrary spacetime dimension $d+1$ which is based on $d$-term $L_\infty$-algebras. Specifically, we introduce cyclic $L_\infty$-algebras describing topological-holomorphic…

We prove that the cyclic chain complex of the categorical coalgebra of singular chains on an arbitrary topological space $X$ is naturally quasi-isomorphic to the $S^1$-equivariant chains of the free loop space of $X$. This statement does…

Let G/Q be an homogeneous variety embedded in a projective space P thanks to an ample line bundle L. Take a projective space containing P and form the cone X over G/Q, we call this a cone over an homogeneous variety. Let $\alpha$ a class of…

We investigate topology change in 3D. Using Morse theory and handle decomposition we find the set of elementary cobordisms for 3-manifolds. These are: (i) \O <-> S^2; (ii) \Sigma_g <-> \Sigma_{g+1}; (iii) \Sigma_{g_1} \sqcup \Sigma_{g_2}…

For $M$ a compact Riemannian manifold Brandenbursky and Marcinkowski constructed a transfer map $H_b^*(\pi_1(M))\to H_b^*(Homeo_{vol,0}(M))$ and used it to show that for certain $M$ the space $\overline{EH}_b^3(Homeo_{vol,0}(M))$ is…

`Loop-fusion cohomology' is defined on the continuous loop space of a manifold in terms of \vCech cochains satisfying two multiplicative conditions with respect to the fusion and figure-of-eight products on loops. The main result is that…

Let $\C$ be an $(n+2)$-angulated category with shift functor $\Sigma$ and $\X$ be a cluster-tilting subcategory of $\C$. Then we show that the quotient category $\C/\X$ is an $n$-abelian category. If $\C$ has a Serre functor, then $\C/\X$…
