Let $A_1$ be any spectrum in the class of finite spectra whose mod-2 cohomology is isomorphic to $\mathcal{A}(1)$ as a module over the subalgebra $\mathcal{A}(1)$ of the Steenrod algebra; let $tmf$ be the connective spectrum of topological…

The goal of this paper is to develop tools to study maximal families of Gorenstein quotients A of a polynomial ring R. We prove a very general Theorem on deformations of the homogeneous coordinate ring of a scheme Proj(A) which is defined…

We analyze the ring tmf_*tmf of cooperations for the connective spectrum of topological modular forms (at the prime 2) through a variety of perspectives: (1) the E_2-term of the Adams spectral sequence for tmf ^ tmf admits a decomposition…

By explicit machine computation we obtain the mod-2 cohomology ring of the third Conway group Co_3. It is Cohen-Macaulay, has dimension 4, and is detected on the maximal elementary abelian 2-subgroups.

In 1977, Orlik--Randell construct a nice integral basis of the middle homology group of the Milnor fiber associated to an invertible polynomial of chain type and they conjectured that it is represented by a distinguished basis of vanishing…

We prove new boundedness results across different areas of algebraic geometry, stemming from a unifying technical starting point: bounding the integer $q > 0$ such that the $q$-th Hodge bundle becomes (semi-)positive for families of stable…

Let $H/F$ be a finite abelian extension of number fields with $F$ totally real and $H$ a CM field. Let $S$ and $T$ be disjoint finite sets of places of $F$ satisfying the standard conditions. The Brumer-Stark conjecture states that the…

The paper is concerned with cohomology of the small quantum group at a root of unity, and of its upper triangular subalgebra, with coefficients in a tilting module. We relate it to a certain t-structure on the derived category of…

A recent work [2006.16996] suggests that a 4d nonperturbative global anomaly of mod 16 class hinting a possible new hidden gapped topological sector beyond the Standard Model (SM) and Georgi-Glashow $su(5)$ Grand Unified Theory (GUT) with…

We review the relationship between the largest Mathieu group and various modular objects, including recent progress on the relation to mock modular forms. We also review the connections between these mathematical structures and string…

It is built a map between an Abelian Topological Quantum Field Theory, $2+1D$ compact U(1) gauge Maxwell Chern-Simons Theory and the nonrelativistic quantum mechanics Azbel-Hofstadter model of Bloch electrons. The $U_q(sl_2)$ quantum group…

We study the topology of a space parametrizing stable tropical curves of genus g with volume 1, showing that its reduced rational homology is canonically identified with both the top weight cohomology of M_g and also with the genus g part…

We initiate the study of supersymmetry-preserving topological defect lines (TDLs) in the Conway moonshine module $V^{f \natural}$. We show that the tensor category of such defects, under suitable assumptions, admits a surjective but…

In the realm of invertible symmetry, the topological approach based on classifying spaces dominates the classification of 't Hooft anomalies and symmetry protected topological phases. We explore the alternative algebraic approach based on…

We consider the following class of equations with exponential nonlinearities on a compact surface $M$: $$ - \Delta u = \rho_1 \left( \frac{h_1 \,e^{u}}{\int_M h_1 \,e^{u} } - \frac{1}{|M|} \right) - \rho_2 \left( \frac{h_2 \,e^{-u}}{\int_M…

Topological photonics is an emerging research area that focuses on the topological states of classical light. Here we reveal the topological phases that are intrinsic to the particle nature of light, i.e., solely related to the quantized…

We construct a theory of motivic cohomology for quasi-compact, quasi-separated schemes of equal characteristic, which is related to non-connective algebraic $K$-theory via an Atiyah--Hirzebruch spectral sequence, and to \'etale cohomology…

This paper shows that $\mathrm{tmf}[1/6]$ is not a ring spectrum quotient of $\mathrm{MO}\langle8\rangle[1/6]$. In fact, for any prime $p>3$ and any sequence $X$ of homogeneous elements of $\pi_*\mathrm{MO}\langle8\rangle$, the…

We report on the theoretical electronic spectra of twisted phosphorene bilayers exhibiting moir\'e patterns, as computed by means of a continuous approximation to the moir\'e superlattice Hamiltonian. Our model is constructed by…

A symplectic $T^n$ - reduction on a complex Grassmann manifold $G_{n,2}$ for the canonical action of the maximal compact torus depends on the $S_n$ - orbit of a maximal chamber in a hypersimplex $\Delta _{n,2}$. The chamber decomposition of…
