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…
This is a survey article to appear in the "Handbook on Teichmueller Theory".
We describe and compute the homotopy of spectra of topological modular forms of level 3. We give some computations related to the "building complex" associated to level 3 structures at the prime 2. Finally, we note the existence of a number…
A C-motivic modular forms spectrum mmf has recently been constructed. This article presents detailed computational information on the Adams spectral sequence for mmf. This information is essential for computing with the C-motivic and…
As a generalization of the ring spectrum of topological modular forms, we construct a graded ring spectrum of topological Jacobi forms, $\operatorname{TJF}_*$. This is constructed as the global sections of a sheaf of $E_\infty$-ring spectra…
The notion of the \emph{homotopy type} of a topological stack has been around in the literature for some time. The basic idea is that an atlas $X \to \mathfrak{X}$ of a stack determines a topological groupoid $\mathbb{X}$ with object space…
We describe the role conformal nets, a mathematical model for conformal field theory, could play in a geometric definition of the generalized cohomology theory TMF of topological modular forms. Inspired by work of Segal and Stolz-Teichner,…
This book is an account of certain topics in general and algebraic topology. Instead of laying out a synopsis of each chapter, here is a sample of some of what is taken up: 1) Nilpotency and its role in homotopy theory. 2) Bousfield's…
This is the companion article to the Bourbaki talk of the same name given in March 2009. The main theme of the talk and the article is to explain the interplay between homotopy theory and algebraic geometry through the Hopkins-Miller-Lurie…
Motivated by issues in string theory and M-theory, we provide a pedestrian introduction to automorphic forms and theta series, emphasizing examples rather than generality.
This is a survey paper on spaces of automorphisms of manifolds and spaces of manifolds in a fixed homotopy type. It describes the main theorems of traditional surgery theory, but also the main theorems of pseudoisotopy theory, alias…
We present a new flavor of TAF-type (co)homology theories, which are p-local of height two and based on the isometry group of the odd unimodular hermitian lattice of signature (1,1) over the Gaussian integers. Using a suitable family of…
Topological conformal field theories are defined using only basic results from the theory of quasiconformal mappings.
This is an appendix to the Handbook of Tilting Theory, edited by Angeleri-Huegel, Happel and Krause, to be published soon. Part 1 of the appendix provides an outline of the core of tilting theory. Part 2 is devoted to topics where tilting…
In this paper we give an overview of different Morse-theoretic methods used to study the topology of moduli spaces of Higgs bundles.
Simplicial formal maps were introduced in the first paper, (math.QA/0512032), of this series as a tool for studying Homotopy Quantum Field Theories with background a general homotopy 2-type. Here we continue their study, showing how a…
We utilize the structure of quasiautomorphic forms over a Hecke triangle group to define a mapping from a quasiautomorphic form to a vector-valued automorphic form (vvaf). This kind of vvaf we call a Hecke vector-form. First we supply a…
In this paper, we mainly focus on formal deformation theory of module homomorphisms. We first introduce the cohomology of module homomorphisms and study formal one-parameter deformation. We obtain some properties about obstructions. Then we…
We study toroidal orbifold models with topologically invariant terms in the path integral formalism and give physical interpretations of the terms from an operator formalism point of view. We briefly discuss a possibility of a new class of…
Linear fractional transformations on the extended complex plane are classified up to topological conjugacy. Recall that two transformations f and g are called topologically conjugate if there exists a homeomorphism h such that hg=fh.
