I review some recent results on four-manifold invariants which have been obtained in the context of topological quantum field theory. I focus on three different aspects: (a) the computation of correlation functions, which give explicit…
We introduce new topological quantum invariants of compact oriented 3-manifolds with boundary where the boundary is a disjoint union of two identical surfaces. The invariants are constructed via surgery on manifolds of the form $F \times I$…
Milnor manifolds are a class of certain codimension-$1$ submanifolds of the product of projective spaces. In this paper, we study the LS-category and topological complexity of these manifolds. We determine the exact value of the LS-category…
In low dimensional topology, we have some invariants defined by using solutions of some nonlinear elliptic operators. The invariants could be understood as Euler class or degree in the ordinary cohomology, in infinite dimensional setting.…
The study of homological invariants such as Tor, Ext and local cohomology modules constitutes an important direction in commutative algebra. Explicit descriptions of these invariants are notoriously difficult to find and often involve…
We introduce a bivariate version of topological complexity, $\mathrm{TC}(f,g)$, associated with two continuous maps $f\colon X\to Z$ and $g\colon Y\to Z$. This invariant measures the minimal number of continuous motion planning rules…
We propose an deepened analysis of KV-Poisson structures of on IR^2. We present their classification their properties an their possible applications in different domains. We prove that these structure give rise to a new Cohomological…
In contrast to classical strongly continuous semigroups, the study of bi-continuous semigroups comes with some freedom in the properties of the associated locally convex topology. This paper aims to give minimal assumptions in order to…
We introduce a notion of complexity of diagrams (and in particular of objects and morphisms) in an arbitrary category, as well as a notion of complexity of functors between categories equipped with complexity functions. We discuss several…
Let $A$ be a noetherian connected graded algebra. We introduce and study homological invariants that are weighted sums of the homological and internal degrees of cochain complexes of graded $A$-modules, providing weighted versions of…
We introduce fibrewise Whitehead- and fibrewise Ganea definitions of monoidal topological complexity. We then define several lower bounds for the topological complexity, which improve on the standard lower bound in terms of nilpotency of…
The class of the hypercomplex pseudo-Hermitian manifolds is considered. The flatness of the considered manifolds with the 3 parallel complex structures is proved. Conformal transformations of the metrics are introduced. The conformal…
We introduce topological invariants of knots and braid conjugacy classes, in the form of differential graded algebras, and present an explicit combinatorial formulation for these invariants. The algebras conjecturally give the relative…
We outline the construction of differential invariants for higher--rank tensors.
We describe various strengthenings of the concept of topological transitivity. Especially when one departs from the family of invertible systems, a number of interesting properties arise. We present the architecture of implications among…
In the prequel of this paper, Kauffman and Ogasa introduced new topological quantum invariants of compact oriented 3-manifolds with boundary where the boundary is a disjoint union of two identical surfaces. The invariants are constructed…
Topological phases of matter have sparked an immense amount of activity in recent decades. Topological materials are classified by topological invariants that act as a non-local order parameter for any symmetry and condition. As a result,…
Complexity one spaces are an important class of examples in symplectic geometry. Karshon and Tolman classify them in terms of combinatorial and topological data. In this paper, we compute the equivariant cohomology for any complexity one…
We present a precise definition of extended homotopy quantum field theories and develop an orbifold construction for these theories when the target space is the classifying space of a finite group $G$, i.e. for $G$-equivariant topological…
In this article we give a survey on open problems and conjectures concerning L^2-invariants. We cover the whole portfolio and not only certain aspects as they are considered in the previous more specialized (and within their scope more…
