For any rank-one Riemannian symmetric space S of non-compact type and any discrete, cofinite, non-cocompact, torsion-free group $\Gamma$ of orientation-preserving Riemannian isometries on S, we develop a cohomological interpretation for the…

The B-side of Kontsevich's Homological Mirror Symmetry Conjecture is discussed. We give first a self-contained study of derived categories and their homological algebra, and later restrict to the bounded derived category of schemes and…

For a smooth compact submanifold $K$ of a Riemannian manifold $Q$, its unit conormal bundle $\Lambda_K$ is a Legendrian submanifold of the unit cotangent bundle of $Q$ with a canonical contact structure. Using pseudo-holomorphic curve…

We discuss the properties of complex manifolds having rational homology of $S^1 \times S^{2n-1}$ including those constructed by Hopf, Kodaira and Brieskorn-van de Ven. We extend certain previously known vanishing properties of cohomology of…

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…

We define a space of relative embedded thickenings of a given map from a finite complex to a Poincare Duality space, and show that there is a highly connected stabilization map between such spaces induced by fiberwise suspension. As a…

We establish a dimension formula for the unreduced singular instanton homology of dual knots $\widetilde{K}_{p/q}\subset S^3_{p/q}(K)$ for a knot $K\subset S^3$: $$ \dim I^\sharp(S^3_{p/q}(K),\widetilde{K}_{p/q},\omega; \mathbb{K}) = 2q…

We review the algebraic approach to super non-Abelian T-Duality considered in [1], focusing on symmetric and semi-symmetric coset spaces on $G/H$. We discuss a potential impediment, appearing in these models when integrating out the gauge…

We use a variation of a classical construction of A. Hatcher to construct virtually all stable exotic smooth structures on compact smooth manifold bundles whose fibers have sufficiently large odd dimension (at least twice the base dimension…

We consider here asymptotic models that describe the propagation of one-dimensional internal waves at the interface between two layers of immiscible fluids of different densities, under the rigid lid assumption and with uneven bottoms. The…

We extend equivariant dimensional reduction techniques to the case of quantum spaces which are the product of a Kaehler manifold M with the quantum two-sphere. We work out the reduction of bundles which are equivariant under the natural…

Given a conical affine special K\"{a}hler (CASK) manifold together with a compatible mutually local variation of BPS structures, one can construct a quaternionic-K\"{a}hler (QK) manifold. We call the resulting QK manifold an instanton…

There are classical examples of spaces X with an involution tau whose mod 2-comhomology ring resembles that of their fixed point set X^tau: there is a ring isomorphism kappa: H^2*(X) --> H^*(X^tau). Such examples include complex…

Given a manifold (or, more generally, a developable orbifold) $M_0$ and two closed Riemannian manifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$ with a finite covering map to $M_0$, we give a spectral characterisation of when they are equivalent Riemannian covers…

Given an ample groupoid, we construct a spectral sequence with groupoid homology with integer coefficients on the second sheet, converging to the K-groups of the (reduced) groupoid C*-algebra, provided the groupoid has torsion-free…

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…

The moduli space describing the low-energy dynamics of BPS multi-monopoles for several charge configurations is presented. We first prove the conjectured form of the moduli space of $n-1$ distinct monopoles in a spontaneously broken SU(n)…

We show that there is a stable homotopy theory of profinite spaces and use it for two main applications. On the one hand we construct an \'etale topological realization of the stable motivic homotopy theory of smooth schemes over a base…

We investigate the spectra of a family of pairs (M_i,A_i) consisting of a complete Riemannian manifold M_i and a closed subset A_i and which converge in the Lipschitz topology to a pair (M,A). This is used to construct manifolds of bounded…

We study metrics on shape space of immersions that have a particularly simple horizontal bundle. More specifically, we consider reparametrization invariant Sobolev metrics $G$ on the space $\operatorname{Imm}(M,N)$ of immersions of a…
