In this paper, we study the notion of smooth $\infty$-categories within the framework of a six-functor formalism. By leveraging the theory of condensed mathematics and analytic stacks, we apply these results to demonstrate that a rigid…

We establish the foundations of categorical weave calculus, developing the diagrammatic calculus of weaves and braid varieties within the study of Calabi-Yau triangulated categories and cluster tilting theory. This is achieved by…

Let $X$ be a compact Calabi-Yau 3-fold, and write $\mathcal M,\bar{\mathcal M}$ for the moduli stacks of objects in coh$(X),D^b$coh$(X)$. There are natural line bundles $K_{\mathcal M}\to\mathcal M$, $K_{\bar{\mathcal M}}\to\bar{\mathcal…

Using Braun-Chuang-Lazarev's derived quotient, we enhance the contraction algebra of Donovan-Wemyss to an invariant valued in differential graded algebras. Given an isolated contraction $X \to X_\mathrm{con}$ of an irreducible rational…

Automorphisms of algebras $R$ from a very large axiomatic class of quantum nilpotent algebras are studied using techniques from noncommutative unique factorization domains and quantum cluster algebras. First, the Nakayama automorphism of…

The $tt^*$ equations define a flat connection on the moduli spaces of $2d, \mathcal{N}=2$ quantum field theories. For conformal theories with $c=3d$, which can be realized as nonlinear sigma models into Calabi-Yau d-folds, this flat…

A parametric curve $\gamma$ of class $C^n$ on the $n$-sphere is said to be nondegenerate (or locally convex) when $\det\left(\gamma(t),\gamma'(t),\cdots,\gamma^{(n)}(t)\right)>0$ for all values of the parameter $t$. We orthogonalize this…

We show that curve enumeration invariants of complex threefolds with nef anti-canonical bundle are determined by their values on local curves. This implies the MNOP conjecture of Maulik, Nekrasov, Okounkov, and Pandharipande relating…

Within the so-called group geometric approach to (super)gravity and (super)string theories, any compact Lie group manifold $G_{c}$ can be smoothly deformed into a group manifold $G_{c}^{\mu }$ (locally diffeomorphic to $G_{c}$ itself),…

We study rational curves of degree two on a smooth sextic 4-fold and their counting invariant defined using Donaldson-Thomas theory of Calabi-Yau 4-folds. By comparing it with the corresponding Gromov-Witten invariant, we verify a…

We give a canonical synthetic construction of the mirror family to a pair (Y,D) of a smooth projective surface with an anti-canonical cycle of rational curves, as the spectrum of an explicit algebra defined in terms of counts of rational…

In this paper we study the relationship between three compactifications of the moduli space of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a fixed Hermitian vector bundle over a projective algebraic manifold of arbitrary dimension. Via the…

We show that homotopy cardinality -- a priori ill-defined for many dg-categories, including all periodic ones -- has a reasonable definition for even-dimensional Calabi--Yau (evenCY) categories and their relative generalizations (under…

We build foundations of an approach to study canonical forms of $2$-Calabi--Yau triangulated categories with cluster-tilting objects, using dg algebras and relative singularity categories. This is motivated by cluster theory, singularity…

We attempt to define a new invariant I of (almost) Calabi-Yau 3-folds M, by counting special Lagrangian rational homology 3-spheres N in M in each 3-homology class, with a certain weight w(N) depending on the topology of N. This is…

Let $X_0$ be a generic quintic threefold in projective space $\mathbf P^4$ over the complex numbers. For a fixed natural number $d$, let $R_d(X_0)$ be the open sub-scheme of the Hilbert scheme, parameterizing irreducible rational curves of…

It has been conjectured that the hemisphere partition function arXiv:1308.2217, arXiv:1308.2438 in a gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) computes the central charge arXiv:math/0212237 of an object in the bounded derived category of coherent…

This short note is an extended abstract of a talk given at the conference "Komplexe Analysis" at the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach in September 2012. We explained some recent results about the existence of rational curves on…

We describe what it means for an algebra to be internally d-Calabi-Yau with respect to an idempotent. This definition abstracts properties of endomorphism algebras of (d-1)-cluster-tilting objects in certain stably (d-1)-Calabi-Yau…

In this article we classify indecomposable objects of the derived categories of finitely-generated modules over certain infinite-dimensional algebras. The considered class of algebras (which we call nodal algebras) contains such well-known…
