We extend some classical results of Bousfield on homology localizations and nilpotent completions to a presentably symmetric monoidal stable $\infty$-category $\mathscr{M}$ admitting a multiplicative left-complete $t$-structure. If $E$ is a…
In this paper, we show that Goodwillie calculus, as applied to functors from stable homotopy to itself, interacts in striking ways with chromatic aspects of the stable category. Localized at a fixed prime p, let T(n) be the telescope of a…
Let (X, O_X) be a noetherian formal scheme and consider D_qct(X) its derived category of sheaves with quasi-coherent torsion homology. We show that there is a bijection between the set of rigid (i.e. \tensor-ideals) localizing subcategories…
The main contribution of this paper is a generalization of several previous localization theories in equivariant symplectic geometry, including the classical Atiyah-Bott/Berline-Vergne localization theorem, as well as many cases of the…
We examine the relation between supersymmetric localization on $\mathbb{S}^4$ and standard QFT results for non-conformal theories in flat space. Specifically, we consider 1/2 BPS circular Wilson loops in four-dimensional SU($N$)…
We use localization techniques to compute the expectation values of supersymmetric Wilson loops in Chern-Simons theories with matter. We find the path-integral reduces to a non-Gaussian matrix model. The Wilson loops we consider preserve a…
We develop the formalism of supersymmetric localization in supergravity using the deformed BRST algebra defined in the presence of a supersymmetric background as recently formulated in arxiv:1806.03690. The gravitational functional integral…
We study left and right Bousfield localisations of stable model categories which preserve stability. This follows the lead of the two key examples: localisations of spectra with respect to a homology theory and A-torsion modules over a ring…
We develop a theory of equivariant factorization algebras on varieties with an action of a connected algebraic group $G$, extending the definitions of Francis-Gaitsgory [FG] and Beilinson-Drinfeld [BD1] to the equivariant setting. We define…
We apply equivariant localization to supersymmetric quantum mechanics and show that the partition function localizes on the instantons of the theory. Our construction of equivariant cohomology for SUSY quantum mechanics is different than…
We introduce equivariant localization as a method for computing the action of probe branes in supergravity backgrounds. We apply it to supersymmetric probe D3-branes in type IIB supersymmetric spacetimes obtained by uplifting the…
Supersymmetric localization provides exact results that should match QFT computations in some regularization scheme. The agreement is particularly subtle in three dimensions where complex answers from localization procedure sometimes arise.…
The hammock localization provides a model for a homotopy function complex in any Quillen model category. We prove that a homotopy between a pair of morphisms induces a homotopy between the maps induced by taking the hammock localization. We…
Equivariant homotopy methods developed over the last 20 years lead to recent breakthroughs in the Borel isomorphism conjectures for Loday assembly maps in K- and L-theories. An important consequence of these algebraic conjectures is the…
We investigate several versions of the telescope conjecture on localized categories of spectra, and implications between them. Generalizing the "finite localization" construction, we show that on such categories, localizing away from a set…
This thesis focuses mainly on understanding the origin of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for a class of four- and five-dimensional BPS black holes in string/M-theory. To this aim, important ingredients are holography and supersymmetric…
We develop the theory of nilpotent $G$-spaces and their localisations, for $G$ a compact Lie group, via reduction to the non-equivariant case using Bousfield localisation. One point of interest in the equivariant setting is that we can…
Our main motivation for the work presented in this paper is to construct a localization functor, in a certain sense dual to the f-localization of Bousfield and Farjoun, and to study some of its properties. We succeed in a case which is…
Using supersymmetric localization, we show that the partition function of four-dimensional superconformal gauge theories - computed as a trace over BPS states without the insertion of $(-1)^F$ - is perturbatively protected and piecewise…
We use equivariant localization and holography to study four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ superconformal field theories arising from M5-branes wrapped on a punctured Riemann surface. We explain how, given a Riemann surface with marked…
