The equations of motion and the Bianchi identity of the C-field in M-theory are encoded in terms of the signature operator. We then reformulate the topological part of the action in M-theory using the signature, which leads to connections…

We present a new and simple proof of a theorem due to Kaplansky which unifies theorems of Kolchin and Levitzki on triangularizability of semigroups of matrices. We also give two different extensions of the theorem. As a consequence, we…

In 2018 Kashaev introduced a diagrammatic link invariant conjectured to be twice the Levine-Tristram signature. If true, the conjecture would provide a simple way of computing the Levine-Tristram signature of a link by taking the signature…

We show that a rectangle can be signed tiled by ribbon L n-ominoes, n odd, if and only if it has a side divisible by n. A consequence of our technique, based on the exhibition of an explicit Groebner basis, is that any k-inflated copy of…

In this article, motivated by the study of symplectic structures on manifolds with boundary and the systematic study of $b$-symplectic manifolds started in [12], we prove a slice theorem for Lie group actions on $b$-symplectic manifolds.

We prove a splitting theorem for a smooth noncompact manifold with (possibly noncompact) boundary. We show that if a noncompact manifold of dimension $n\geq 2$ has $\lambda_1(-\alpha\Delta+\operatorname{Ric})\geq 0$ for some…

We extend to orbifolds the quasimap theory of arXiv:0908.4446 and arXiv:1106.3724, as well as the genus zero wall-crossing results from arXiv:1304.7056 and arXiv:1401.7417. As a consequence, we obtain generalizations of orbifold mirror…

We prove an identity about partitions, previously conjectured in the study of shifted Jack polynomials (math.CO/9903020). The proof given is using $\lambda$-ring techniques. It would be interesting to obtain a bijective proof.

This note proves that, as K-theory elements, the symbol classes of the de Rham operator and the signature operator on a closed manifold of even dimension are congruent mod 2. An equivariant generalization is given pertaining to the…

The result of this paper is proved in arXiv:1112.1163

A very short proof of the following smooth homogeneity theorem of D. Repovs, E. V. Scepin and the author is presented. Let N be a locally compact subset of a smooth manifold M. Assume that for each two points x,y in N there exist their…

The reconstruction theorem is a cornerstone of the theory of regularity structures [Hai14]. In [CZ20] the authors formulate and prove this result in the language of distributions theory on the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$, without any…

In this short expository note, we give a detailed proof of Markov's theorem on the unsolvability of the homeomorphism problem and of the existence of unrecognizable manifolds in all dimensions larger than 3.

We define a partition of ${\overline{M}_g^n}$ and show that the cohomology of ${\overline{M}_g^n}$ in a given degree admits a filtration whose respective quotients are isomorphic to the shifted cohomology groups of the parts if $g$ is…

We review the definition of D-rings introduced by H. Gunji & D. L. MacQuillan. We provide an alternative characterization for such rings that allows us to give an elementary proof of that a ring of algebraic integers is a D-ring. Moreover,…

It is a natural consequence of fundamental properties of the Casson invariant that the Rokhlin invariant of an amphichiral integral homology 3-sphere M vanishes. In this paper, we give a new direct proof of this vanishing property. For such…

The number of apparent double points of an irreducible projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ in $\mathbb{P}^{2n+1}$ is the number of secant lines to $X$ passing through a general point of $\mathbb{P}^{2n+1}$. This classical notion dates…

We obtain a new differentiable sphere theorem for compact Lagrangian submanifolds in complex Euclidean space and complex projective space.

A version of the Kolmogorov-Chentsov theorem on sample differentiability and H\"older continuity of random fields on domains of cone type is proved, and the result is generalized to manifolds.

Kreck and Yang Su recently gave counterexamples to a version of the Torelli theorem for hyperk\"ahlerian manifolds as stated by Verbitsky. The initial purpose of this document (which was prepared for a seminar talk) was to extract the…
