The theory of operads (May, cyclic, modular, PROPs, etc) is extended to include higher dimensional phenomena, i.e. operations between operations, mimicking the algebraic structure on varieties of arbitrary dimensions, having marked…
An equivariant topological field theory is defined on a cobordism category of manifolds with principal fiber bundles for a fixed (finite) structure group. We provide a geometric construction which for any given morphism $G \to H$ of finite…
We introduce a functorial construction which, from a monoid, produces a set-operad. We obtain new (symmetric or not) operads as suboperads or quotients of the operad obtained from the additive monoid. These involve various familiar…
We consider analogs of Jacobson's $F$-Burnside construction and Boltje's $(-)_+$-construction for biset functors, using Mackey-functor theoretic interpretation of biset functors.
A combinatorial construction proves an identity for the product of the Pfaffian of a skew-symmetric matrix by the Pfaffian of one of its submatrices. Several applications of this identity are followed by a brief history of Pfaffians.
Using techniques in logarithmic geometry, we construct a logarithmic analogue of the Fulton--MacPherson configuration spaces. We similarly construct a logarithmically smooth degeneration of the Fulton--MacPherson configuration spaces. Both…
A TQFT in terms of general gauge fixing functions is discussed. In a covariant gauge it yields the Donaldson-Witten TQFT. The theory is formulated on a generalized phase space where a simplectic structure is introduced. The Hamiltonian is…
We provide a construction of equivariant Lagrangian Floer homology $HF_G(L_0, L_1)$, for a compact Lie group $G$ acting on a symplectic manifold $M$ in a Hamiltonian fashion, and a pair of $G$-Lagrangian submanifolds $L_0, L_1 \subset M$.…
We explain how to adapt the methods of Abouzaid-McLean-Smith to the setting of Hamiltonian Floer theory. We develop a language around equivariant ``$\langle k \rangle$-manifolds'', which are a type of manifold-with-corners that suffices to…
A popular way to approximate the Koopman operator's action on a finite-dimensional subspace of functions is via orthogonal projections. The quality of the projected model directly depends on the selected subspace, specifically on how close…
By an odd structure we mean an algebraic structure in the category of graded vector spaces whose structure operations have odd degrees. Particularly important are odd modular operads which appear as Feynman transforms of modular operads…
Our central observation is that unbounded additive recurrence establishes a homomorphism between $\mathbb{N}$ and Modus Ponens in a constructive sense. By finding sums of nonconsecutive Fibonacci indices, each inference step corresponds to…
The purpose of this exposition is to compare the constructions of classical nonsymmetric operads (and their algebras) to that of the globular operads of Leinster and Batanin. It is hoped that, through this comparison, understanding algebras…
On a M\"obius surface, as defined by D. Calderbank, we study a variant of the Einstein-Weyl (EW) equation which we call scalar-flat M\"obius EW (sf-MEW). This is a conformally invariant, finite type, overdetermined system of semi-linear…
We construct a tower of fibrations approximating the derived mapping space between two simplicially enriched operads subject to mild conditions. The n-th stage of the tower is obtained by neglecting operations with more than n inputs. The…
We obtain criteria for the boundedness and compactness of weighted composition operators between different Fock spaces in $\mathbb{C}^n$. We also give estimates for essential norm of these operators.
A momentum-space approach to conformal field theory offers a new perspective on cosmological correlators and better reveals the underlying connections to scattering amplitudes. This thesis explores the interplay between integral…
It is shown that every algebra over the chain operad of the little disks operad gives naturally rise to a Hertling-Manin's F-manifold, that is a smooth manifold equipped with an integrable graded commutative associative product on the…
This paper meticulously revisit and study the flux geometry of any compact oriented manifold $(M; W)$. We generalize several well-known factorization results, exhibit some orbital conditions for the study of flux geometry, give a proof of…
A nonstandard invariant fourth order operator acting on functions on a manifold equipped with an almost Grassmannian structure with an arbitrary trorsion is found by means of the curved translation principle. This operator can be viewed as…
