We show that a spectral sequence developed by Lipshitz and Treumann, for application to Heegaard Floer theory, converges to a localized form of topological Hochschild homology with coefficients. This allows us to show that the target of…

In this paper we discuss and prove $\epsilon$-regularity theorems for Einstein manifolds $(M^n,g)$, and more generally manifolds with just bounded Ricci curvature, in the collapsed setting. A key tool in the regularity theory of…

We address primary decomposition conjectures for knot concordance groups, which predict direct sum decompositions into primary parts. We show that the smooth concordance group of topologically slice knots has a large subgroup for which the…

Rodriguez-Villegas conjectured four supercongruences associated to certain elliptic curves, which were first confirmed by Mortenson by using the Gross-Koblitz formula. In this paper, we aim to prove four supercongruences between two…

This paper contains results concerning a conjecture made by Lang and Silverman predicting a lower bound for the canonical height on abelian varieties of dimension 2 over number fields. The method used here is a local height decomposition.…

Ozsvath and Szabo gave a combinatorial description of knot Floer homology based on a cube of resolutions, which uses maps with twisted coefficients. We study the t=1 specialization of their construction. The associated spectral sequence…

In this note, we study the Swampland Distance Conjecture in TCS $G_2$ manifold compactifications of M-theory. In particular, we are interested in testing a refined version -- the Emergent String Conjecture, in settings with 4d $N=1$…

Following Ghomi and Tabachnikov we study topological obstructions to totally skew embeddings of a smooth manifold M in Euclidean spaces. This problem is naturally related to the question of estimating the geometric dimension of the stable…

Let M be an oriented irreducible 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group and empty or toroidal boundary. Consider any element \phi in the first cohomology of M with integral coefficients. Then one can define the \phi-twisted L^2-torsion…

We prove a strengthening of Brauer's height zero conjecture for principal 2-blocks with Galois automorphisms. This requires a new extension of the It\^o--Michler theorem for the prime~2, again with Galois automorphisms. We close, this time…

This thesis contains work which appeared in several papers. Additionally to the results in the papers it contains a detailed introduction and some further proofs and remarks. The dissertation gives a description of the topology and…

For $d\ge 3$ we first show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of $A$-divergent on average points in the $(d-1)$-dimensional closed horosphere in the space of $d$-dimensional Euclidean lattices, where $A$ is the group of positive…

We study anisotropic scaling limits of topological field theories using tropical geometry. The resulting topological field theories are characterized by foliated geometries and are invariant under foliation-preserving gauge transformations.…

Zagier-Hoffman's conjectures predict the dimension and a basis for the $\mathbb Q$-vector spaces spanned by $N$th cyclotomic multiple zeta values (MZV's) of fixed weight where $N$ is a natural number. For $N=1$ (MZV's case), half of these…

Rank-2 toric code (R2TC), a prototypical archetype of the discrete rank-2 symmetric gauge theory, has properties that differ from those of the standard toric code. Specifically, it features a blending of UV and IR in its ground state,…

We extend the results of Deligne and Illusie on liftings modulo $p^2$ and decompositions of the de Rham complex in several ways. We show that for a smooth scheme $X$ over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$, the truncations of the…

Ehrhart's conjecture proposes a sharp upper bound on the volume of a convex body whose barycenter is its only interior lattice point. Recently, Berman and Berndtsson proved this conjecture for a class of rational polytopes including…

We compute the O(1) contribution to holographic c-a for IIB supergravity on AdS_5 x S^5/Z_n and on AdS_5 x T^{1,1}/Z_n. In both cases, we find agreement with the dual field theory results, thus providing 1/N^2 checks of AdS/CFT with reduced…

It is well-known that any maximal Cohen-Macaulay module over a hypersurface has a periodic free resolution of period 2. Auslander, Reiten and Buchweitz have used this periodicity to explain the existence of periodic projective resolutions…

We present a detailed probabilistic and structural analysis of the set of weighted homomorphisms from the discrete torus $\mathbb{Z}_m^n$, where $m$ is even, to any fixed graph: we show that the corresponding probability distribution on…
