We study the SU(2) Witten--Reshetikhin--Turaev invariant for the Seifert fibered homology spheres with M-exceptional fibers. We show that the WRT invariant can be written in terms of (differential of) the Eichler integrals of modular forms…

We compute the mod $2$ homology of the spectrum $\mathrm{tmf}$ of topological modular forms by proving a 2-local equivalence $\mathrm{tmf} \wedge DA(1) \simeq \mathrm{tmf}_1(3) \simeq BP\left \langle 2\right\rangle$, where $DA(1)$ is an…

We describe the homotopy classes of 2 by 2 periodic simple (=non-degenerate) matrices with various symmetries. This turns out to be an elementary exercise in the homotopy of closed curves in three dimensions. The matrices represent gapped…

We show that Tim Cochran's invariants $\beta^i(L)$ of a $2$-component link $L$ in the $3$--sphere can be computed as intersection invariants of certain 2-complexes in the $4$--ball with boundary $L$. These 2-complexes are special types of…

In the current work, we study the eigenvalue distribution results of a class of non-normal matrix-sequences which may be viewed as a low rank perturbation, depending on a parameter $\beta>1$, of the basic Toeplitz matrix-sequence…

The invariant $\Theta$ is an invariant of rational homology 3-spheres $M$ equipped with a combing $X$ over the complement of a point. It is related to the Casson-Walker invariant $\lambda$ by the formula $\Theta(M,X)=6\lambda(M)+p_1(X)/4$,…

In this note, we compute the image of the $\alpha$-family in the homotopy of the $K(2)$-local sphere at the prime $p=2$ by locating its image in the algebraic duality spectral sequence. This is a stepping stone for the computation of the…

Let H be a Hopf algebra with bijective antipode, let \alpha, \beta be two Hopf algebra automorphisms of H and M a finite dimensional (\alpha, \beta )-Yetter-Drinfeld module. We prove that End(M) endowed with certain structures becomes an…

Topological invariants in band theory are often formulated assuming that Bloch wave functions are smoothly defined over the Brillouin zone (BZ). However, first-principles band calculations typically provide Bloch states only at discrete…

The spin fluctuations parallel to the external magnetic field in the ground state of the one-dimensional (1D) s=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet are dominated by a two-parameter set of collective excitations. In a cyclic chain of N sites and…

We explore the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence for the $tmf^\bullet[\frac12]$-cohomology of the classifying space $BM_{24}$ of the largest Mathieu group $M_{24}$, twisted by a class $\omega \in H^4(BM_{24};Z[\frac12]) \cong Z_3$. Our…

The motivic Mahowald invariant was introduced in \cite{Qui19a} and \cite{Qui19b} to study periodicity in the $\mathbb{C}$- and $\mathbb{R}$-motivic stable stems. In this paper, we define the motivic Mahowald invariant over any field $F$ of…

The Bethe ansatz for the one-dimensional s=1/2 Heisenberg ferromagnet is introduced at an elementary level. The presentation follows Bethe's original work very closely. A detailed description and a complete classification of all two-magnon…

In this paper, we give a combinatorial formula for the \v{C}ech cocycles representing the power sums of the Chern roots of a holomorphic vector bundle over a complex manifold. By an observation motivation by author's previous paper, we also…

Algebraic and geometric structures associated with Birkhoff strata of Sato Grassmannian are analyzed. It is shown that each Birkhoff stratum $\Sigma_S$ contains a subset $W_{\hat{S}}$ of points for which each fiber of the corresponding…

The Theta invariant is the simplest 3-manifold invariant defined with configuration space integrals. It is actually an invariant of rational homology spheres equipped with a combing over the complement of a point. It can be computed as the…

We consider the distribution of the orbits of the number 1 under the $\beta$-transformations $T_\beta$ as $\beta$ varies. Mainly, the size of the set of $\beta>1$ for which a given point can be well approximated by the orbit of 1 is…

In principle, Floer theory can be extended to define homotopy invariants of families of equivalent objects (e.g. Hamiltonian isotopic symplectomorphisms, 3-manifolds, Legendrian knots, etc.) parametrized by a smooth manifold B. The…

It has recently been observed by Zuiddam that finite graphs form a preordered commutative semiring under the graph homomorphism preorder together with join and disjunctive product as addition and multiplication, respectively. This led to a…

In this paper we will compute the effect of the James-Hopf map after applying the Bousfield-Kuhn functor on Morava E-theory, and then compute the monochromatic Hopf invariant of the $\beta$ family using this cohomological information.
