Persistent homology is a popular tool in Topological Data Analysis. It provides numerical characteristics of data sets which reflect global geometric properties. In order to be useful in practice, for example for feature generation in…
We show that for a complete complex algebraic variety the pure component of homology coincides with the image of intersection homology. Therefore pure homology is topologically invariant. To obtain slightly more general results we introduce…
In 1999, Khovanov showed that a link invariant known as the Jones polynomial is the Euler characteristic of a homology theory. The knot categorification problem is to find a general construction of knot homology groups, and to explain their…
These notes are devoted to explaining aspects of the mirror manifold problem that can be naturally understood from the point of view of topological field theory. Basically this involves studying the topological field theories made by…
The geometry of a two-dimensional surface in a curved space can be most easily visualized by using an isometric embedding in flat three-dimensional space. Here we present a new method for embedding surfaces with spherical topology in flat…
For real projective spaces, (a) the Euclidean immersion dimension, (b) the existence of axial maps, and (c) the topological complexity are known to be three facets of the same problem. But when it comes to embedding dimension, the classical…
We survey some algebraic geometric aspects of mirror symmetry and duality in string theory. Some applications of computer algebra to algebraic geometry and string theory are shortly reviewed.
This work provides a comprehensive theoretical framework for understanding the symmetry properties of High-Resolution NMR spectra. We analyze the conditions under which a spectrum exhibits mirror symmetry (palindromicity). We demonstrate…
Following the idea of Aganagic--Okounkov \cite{AOelliptic}, we study vertex functions for hypertoric varieties, defined by $K$-theoretic counting of quasimaps from $\mathbb{P}^1$. We prove the 3d mirror symmetry statement that the two sets…
In this work we find the first examples of (0,2) mirror symmetry on compact non-K\"ahler complex manifolds. For this we follow Borisov's approach to mirror symmetry using vertex algebras and the chiral de Rham complex. Our examples of (0,2)…
We introduce the volume entropy semi-norm in real homology and show that it satisfies functorial properties similar to the ones of the simplicial volume. Answering a question of M. Gromov, we prove that the volume entropy semi-norm is…
We consider the topology of simplicial complexes with vertices the points of a random point process and faces determined by distance relationships between the vertices. In particular, we study the Betti numbers of these complexes as the…
We prove that homological mirror symmetry for very affine hypersurfaces respects certain natural symplectic operations (as functors between partially wrapped Fukaya categories), verifying conjectures of Auroux. These conjectures concern…
The celebrated Mirror Theorem states that the genus zero part of the A model (quantum cohomology, rational curves counting) of the Fermat quintic threefold is equivalent to the B model (complex deformation, variation of Hodge structure) of…
We revisit our construction of mirror symmetries for compactifications of Type II superstrings on twisted connected sum $G_2$ manifolds. For a given $G_2$ manifold, we discuss evidence for the existence of mirror symmetries of two kinds:…
We show that a locally symmetric space of noncompact type and with finite volume is quasi-isometric to the euclidean cone over a finite simplicial complex. A detailed analysis of metric properties yields a proof of a conjecture of Siegel.
We discuss the relation between transposition mirror symmetry of Berlund and H\"ubsch for bimodal singularities and polar duality of Batyrev for associated toric K3 hypersurfaces. We also show that homological mirror symmetry for…
Borcea-Voisin threefolds provided some of the first examples of mirror pairs in the Hodge-theoretic sense, but their mirror symmetry at the quantum level have not previously been shown. We prove a Givental-style quantum mirror theorem for…
Motivated by mirror symmetry for weighted projective spaces, we give a new characterization of exceptionoal unimodal singularities.
We introduce self-dual manifolds and show that they can be used to encode mirror symmetry for affine-K\"{a}hler manifolds and for elliptic curves. Their geometric properties, especially the link with special lagrangian fibrations and the…
