Supposing that X is a Riemannian manifold, a Z/2 spinor on X is defined by a data set consisting of a closed set in X to be denoted by Z, a real line bundle over X-Z, and a nowhere zero section on X-Z of the tensor product of the real line…

In this article we prove that the singular set of Dirichlet-minimizing $Q$-valued functions is countably $(m-2)$-rectifiable and we give upper bounds for the $(m-2)$-dimensional Minkowski content of the set of singular points with…

We describe novel local singularity models for $\mathbb Z/2$ harmonic 1-forms, self-dual 2-forms and spinors in dimension 4. These models are homogeneous versions on $\mathbb{R}^4$ whose singular sets are cones on the 1-skeletal of certain…

Consider an $m$-dimensional area minimizing mod$(2Q)$ current $T$, with $Q\in\mathbb{N}$, inside a sufficiently regular Riemannian manifold of dimension $m + 1$. We show that the set of singular density-$Q$ points with a flat tangent cone…

In this note we consider compactifications of ${\cal M}$-theory on $Spin(7)$-holonomy manifolds to three-dimensional Minkowski space. In these compactifications a warp factor is included. The conditions for unbroken N=1 supersymmetry give…

In my previous paper, I prove the existence of the Kuranishi structure for the moduli space $\mathfrak{M}$ of zero loci of $\mathbb{Z}/2$-harmonic spinors on a 3-manifold. So a nature question we can ask is to compute the virtual dimension…

Let $M$ be a compact oriented 3-dimensional smooth manifold. In this paper, we construct a moduli space consisting of pairs $(\Sigma, \psi)$ where $\Sigma$ is a $C^1$-embedding simple closed curve in $M$, $\psi$ is a $\mathbb{Z}/2$-harmonic…

We prove the existence of singular harmonic ${\bf Z}_2$ spinors on $3$-manifolds with $b_1 > 1$. The proof relies on a wall-crossing formula for solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equation with two spinors. The existence of singular harmonic…

Given a compact 3-manifold $Y$ and a $\mathbb Z_2$-harmonic spinor $(\mathcal Z_0, A_0,\Phi_0)$ with singular set $\mathcal Z_0$, this article constructs a family of local solutions to the two-spinor Seiberg-Witten equations parameterized…

We prove the existence of harmonic spinor fields in axisymmetric Riemannian 3-manifolds having nonnegative scalar curvature and asymptotic to the usual constant time hypersurface of Melvin's magnetic universe. Such a spinor can be used in…

We study the compactification of the pure spinor superstring down to four dimensions. We find that the compactified string is described by a conformal invariant system for both the four dimensional and for the compact six dimensional…

A $\mathbb Z_2$-harmonic spinor on a 3-manifold $Y$ is a solution of the Dirac equation on a bundle that is twisted around a submanifold $\mathcal Z$ of codimension 2 called the singular set. This article investigates the local structure of…

We study compactifications of the heterotic pure spinor superstring to six and four dimensions focusing on two simple Calabi-Yau orbifolds. We show that the correct spectrum can be reproduced only if, in the twisted sector, there remain…

Let M be a closed spin manifold of dimension congruent to 3 modulo 4. We give a simple proof of the fact that the space of metrics on M with invertible Dirac operator is either empty or it has infinitely many path components.

We use the symmetries of the tetrahedron, octahedron and icosahedron to construct local models for a $\mathbb{Z}/2$ harmonic 1-form or spinor in 3-dimensions near a singular point in its zero loci. The local models are $\mathbb{Z}/2$…

We define a variant of the Seiberg-Witten equations using the Rarita-Schwinger operators for closed simply connected spin smooth 4-manifold X. The moduli space of solutions to the system of non-linear differential equations consist of…

Using the standard Cayley transform and elementary tools it is reiterated that the conformal compactification of the Minkowski space involves not only the "cone at infinity" but also the 2-sphere that is at the base of this cone. We…

In this paper, we establish some compactness results of conformally compact Einstein metrics on $4$-dimensional manifolds. Our results were proved under assumptions on the behavior of some local and non-local conformal invariants, on the…

We study the singular set of free interface in an optimal partition problem for the Dirichlet eigenvalues. We prove that its upper $(n-2)$-dimensional Minkowski content, and consequently, its $(n-2)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure are…

Starting from the standard supertwistor realizations for conformally compactified N-extended Minkowski superspaces in three and four space-time dimensions, we elaborate on alternative realizations in terms of graded two-forms on the dual…
