The moduli stack of representations of a quiver, or coherent sheaves on a proper curve, carries two structures on its cohomology: a Hall algebra and braided vertex coalgebra. We show that they are compatible, by developing a formulation of…
Assuming a conjecture about factorization homology with adjoints, we prove the cobordism hypothesis, after Baez-Dolan, Costello, Hopkins-Lurie, and Lurie.
We study some examples when there is actually an equality in the linear algebra bound. When the vectors considered span in fact the entire space. We would like to point out that in some cases this provides some interesting extra information…
In this paper we study the structure of the Algebraic Cobordism ring of a variety as a module over the Lazard ring, and show that it has relations in positive codimensions. We actually prove the stronger graded version. This extends the…
We show that a free period three action on a lens space is standard, i.e. the quotient is homeomorphic to a lens space. This is an extension of the result for period three actions on the three-sphere, arXiv:math.GT/0204077, by the author…
The classifying spaces of cobordisms of singular maps have two fairly different constructions. We expose a homotopy theoretical connection between them. As a corollary we show that the classifying spaces in some cases have a simple product…
We analyse the boundary structure of General Relativity in the coframe formalism in the case of a lightlike boundary, i.e., when the restriction of the induced Lorentzian metric to the boundary is degenerate. We describe the associated…
For fibred boundary and fibred cusp metrics, Hausel, Hunsicker, and Mazzeo identified the space of $L^2$ harmonic forms of fixed degree with the images of maps between intersection cohomology groups of an associated stratified space…
Bredon has constructed a 2-dimensional compact cohomology manifold which is not homologically locally connected, with respect to the singular homology. In the present paper we construct infinitely many such examples (which are in addition…
We determine the non-null homologous knots in lens spaces whose exteriors contain properly embedded once-punctured tori. All such knots arise as surgeries on the Whitehead link and are grid number 1 in their lens spaces. As a corollary, we…
We propose an explicit relation between the cohomology of compactified and noncompactified moduli spaces of algebraic curves with punctures. This relationship generalizes one between commutative algebras and Lie algebras proposed by Lazard,…
We show that every de Rham cohomology class on the total space of a symplectic fiber bundle with closed Lefschetz fibers, admits a Poisson harmonic representative in the sense of Brylinski. The proof is based on a new characterization of…
The goal of this paper is to present results which are consistent with conjectures about the Leibniz (co)homology for discrete groups stated by J. L. Loday. We show that rack cohomology has properties very close to the properties expected…
We review Heisenberg homology of configurations in once bounded surfaces and extend the construction to the regular thickening of a finite graph with ribbon structure.
We introduce hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras as an algebraic analogue of hom-Lie algebroids, and systematically describe a cohomology complex by considering coefficient modules. We define the notion of extensions for hom-Lie-Rinehart algebras. In…
We study spaces of realisations of linkages (weighted graphs) whose underlying graph is a series parallel graph. In particular, we describe an algorithm for determining whether or not such spaces are connected.
Motivated by a conjecture of Koll\'ar, we study embeddings of multiple rational homology balls in $\mathbb{CP}^2$. To each node of the Farey tree, we associate such an embedding of three rational homology balls with lens space boundary,…
We prove a coherence theorem for braided monoidal bicategories and relate it to the coherence theorem for monoidal bicategories. We show how coherence for these structures can be interpretted topologically using up-to-homotopy operad…
We study cobordisms of nested manifolds, which are manifolds together with embedded submanifolds, which can themselves have embedded submanifolds, etc. We identify a nested analog of the Pontryagin-Thom construction. Moreover, when the…
In an $n$-manifold $X$ each element of $H_{n-1}(X; \mathbb{Z}_2)$ can be represented by an embedded codimension-1 submanifold. Hence for any two such submanifolds there is a third one that represents the sum of their homology classes. We…
