We verify a construction which, for $\Bbb K$ the reals, complex numbers, quaternions, or octonions, builds a spherical $t$-design by placing a spherical $t$-design on each $\Bbb K$-projective or $\Bbb K$-Hopf fiber associated to the points…

We describe explicit generators for the "real" K-theory of "real" spheres in van Daele's picture. Pulling these generators back along suitable maps from tori to spheres produces a family of Hamiltonians used in the physics literature on…

We show that if $(X,g,J,\omega)$ is a K\"ahler manifold with an $SU(n+s)$-structure and a Hamiltonian holomorphic action of a compact torus $T^s$, then the usual symplectic quotient $Y$ inherits an $SU(n)$-structure provided the existence…

From the irreducible decompositions' point of view, the structure of the cyclic $GL_n$-module generated by the $\alpha$-determinant degenerates when $\alpha=\pm \frac1k (1\leq k\leq n-1)$. In this paper, we show that $-\frac1k$-determinant…

Let $E_n$ be Morava $E$-theory of height $n$. Let $R$ be a $p$-adically flat commutative ring spectrum. Then the Tate-valued Frobenius map endows $\pi_0 R$ with the structure of a $\delta$-ring. On the other hand, we may form the…

We prove a new convergence result for the slice spectral sequence, following work by Levine and Voevodsky. This verifies a derived variant of Voevodsky's conjecture on convergence of the slice spectral sequence. This is, in turn, a…

In this paper the spherical case of the Whittaker Inversion Theorem is given a relatively self-contained proof. This special case can be used as a help in deciphering the handling of the continuous spectrum in the proof of the full theorem.…

The Morava $E$-theories, $E_{n}$, are complex-oriented $2$-periodic ring spectra, with homotopy groups $\mathbb{W}_{\mathbb{F}_{p^{n}}}[[u_{1}, u_{2}, ... , u_{n-1}]][u,u^{-1}]$. Here $\mathbb{W}$ denotes the Witt vector ring. $E_{n}$ is a…

We compute the mod $(p,v_1)$ and mod $(2,\eta,v_1)$ $\mathrm{THH}$ of many variants of the image-of-$J$ spectrum. In particular, we do this for $j_{\zeta}$, whose $\mathrm{TC}$ is closely related to the $K$-theory of the $K(1)$-local…

Given a smooth, oriented, closed surface $\Sigma$ of genus zero, possibly with boundary, let $\tilde{\Sigma} \longrightarrow \Sigma$ be a given $G$-cover of $\Sigma$, where $G$ is a given finite group. Let $S_{n}$ denote the standard sphere…

In order to treat multiplicative phenomena in twisted (co)homology, we introduce a new point-set level framework for parametrized homotopy theory. We provide a convolution smash product that descends to the corresponding…

A combinatorial tiling of the sphere is naturally given by an embedded graph. We study the case that each tile has exactly five edges, with the ultimate goal of classifying combinatorial tilings of the sphere by geometrically congruent…

The first static spherically symmetric perfect fluid solution with constant density was found by Schwarzschild in 1918. Generically, perfect fluid spheres are interesting because they are first approximations to any attempt at building a…

We use a Heegaard splitting of the topological 3-sphere as a guiding principle to construct a family of its noncommutative deformations. The main technical point is an identification of the universal C*-algebras defining our quantum…

We compute the h_1-localized cohomology of the motivic Steenrod algebra over C. This serves as the input to an Adams spectral sequence that computes the motivic stable homotopy groups of the eta-local motivic sphere. We compute some of the…

A branched twist spin is a generalization of twist spun knots, which appeared in the study of locally smooth circle actions on the $4$-sphere due to Montgomery, Yang, Fintushel and Pao. In this paper, we give a sufficient condition to…

In this article, we study complete surfaces $\Sigma$, isometrically immersed in the product space $\mathbb{H}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{S}^2\times\mathbb{R}$ having positive extrinsic curvature $K_e$. Let $K_i$ denote the intrinsic…

A dynamically transversely trapping surface (DTTS) is a new concept of an extension of a photon sphere that appropriately represents a strong gravity region and has close analogy with a trapped surface. We study formation of a marginally…

Previous work constructed a generalized truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum of chromatic height 2 at the prime 2 as an E_infinity-ring spectrum, based on the study of elliptic curves with level-3 structure. We show that the natural map…

We investigate the problem of defining group or loop structures on spheres, where by ''sphere'' we mean the level set q(x) = c of a general K-valued quadratic form q, for an invertible scalar c. When K is a field and q non-degenerate, then…
