We develop some basic Lipschitz homotopy technique and apply it to manifolds with finite asymptotic dimension. In particular we show that the Higson compactification of a uniformly contractible manifold is mod $p$ acyclic in the finite…
Insprired by the work of C. Simpson, it is shown that every variation of graded-polarized mixed Hodge structure defined over Q gives rise to a natural Higgs field on the underlying vector bundle. In the context of Mirror Symmetry it is then…
Associated with a symmetric Clifford system $\{P_0, P_1,\cdots, P_{m}\}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{2l}$, there is a canonical vector bundle $\eta$ over $S^{l-1}$. For $m=4$ and $8$, we construct explicitly its characteristic map, and determine…
The aim of this paper is to give an application of p-adic Hodge theory to stringy Hodge numbers introduced by V. Batyrev for a mathematical formulation of mirror symmetry. Since the stringy Hodge numbers of an algebraic variety are defined…
We extend knot Floer homology to string links in D^{2} \times I and to d-based links in arbitrary three manifolds, without any hypothesis on the null-homology of the components. As for knot Floer homology we obtain a description of the…
Mirror symmetry relates type IIB string theory on a Calabi-Yau 3-fold to type IIA on the mirror CY manifold, whose complex structure and Kaehler moduli spaces are exchanged. We show that the mirror map is a particular case of a more general…
We deform the standard four dimensional $\N=1$ superspace by making the odd coordinates $\theta$ not anticommuting, but satisfying a Clifford algebra. Consistency determines the other commutation relations of the coordinates. In particular,…
We work in the setting of Calabi-Yau mirror symmetry. We establish conditions under which Kontsevich's homological mirror symmetry (which relates the derived Fukaya category to the derived category of coherent sheaves on the mirror) implies…
Let $Y$ be a cubic threefold with a non-Eckardt type involution $\tau$. Our first main result is that the $\tau$-equivariant category of the Kuznetsov component $\mathcal{K}u_{\mathbb{Z}_2}(Y)$ determines the isomorphism class of $Y$ for…
We reformulate the construction of Kontsevich's completion and use Lawson homology to define many new motivic invariants. We show that the dimensions of subspaces generated by algebraic cycles of the cohomology groups of two $K$-equivalent…
It is well known that a purely inseparable field extension $L/F$ with some extra property and degree $[L:F]=4$ determines a Clifford parallelism on the set of lines of the three-dimensional projective space over $F$. By extending the ground…
We study new compactifications of the SO(32) heterotic string theory on compact complex non-Kahler manifolds. These manifolds have many interesting features like fewer moduli, torsional constraints, vanishing Euler character and vanishing…
In [HJLLZ24], we proposed a new conjecture on the structure of the unitary dual of connected reductive groups over non-Archimedean local fields of characteristic zero based on their Arthur representations and verified it for all the known…
A conjecture of J. Huh and B. Sturmfels predicts that the sign of the Euler characteristic of a complex very affine variety depends only on the parity of the dimension. The conjecture is true for locally complete intersections. Beyond this…
We study the nonnegativity of stringy Hodge numbers of a projective variety with Gorenstein canonical singularities, which was conjectured by Batyrev. We prove that the $(p,1)$-stringy Hodge numbers are nonnegative, and for threefolds we…
Orthogonal spaces are vector spaces together with a quadratic form whose associated bilinear form is non-degenerate. Over fields of characteristic two, there are many quadratic forms associated to a given bilinear form and quadratic…
We study topological strings on non-commutative resolutions of singular Calabi-Yau threefolds that are double covers of $\mathbb{P}^3$, ramified over determinantal octic surfaces. Using conifold transitions to complete intersections in…
The third unramified cohomology group is shown to vanish on certain varieties equipped with a pencil of quadrics or of smooth complete intersections of two quadrics. Over the complex field, this shows that the integral Hodge conjecture in…
The stringy E-function for normal irreducible complex varieties with at worst log terminal singularities was introduced by Batyrev. It is defined by data from a log resolution. If the variety is projective and Gorenstein and the stringy…
We introduce trim resolutions of complex algebraic varieties, a strengthening of the notion of small resolution. We prove that the characteristic cycle of the intersection cohomology sheaf of a variety admitting a trim resolution is…
