We semiclassicalise the theory of quantum group principal bundles to the level of Poisson geometry. The total space $X$ is a Poisson manifold with Poisson-compatible contravariant connection, the fibre is a Poisson-Lie group in the sense of…

We define a family of quantum invariants of closed oriented $3$-manifolds using spherical multi-fusion categories. The state sum nature of this invariant leads directly to $(2+1)$-dimensional topological quantum field theories…

We enumerate smooth rational curves on very general Weierstrass fibrations over hypersurfaces in projective space. The generating functions for these numbers lie in the ring of classical modular forms. The method of proof uses topological…
This is an invited contribution to the 2nd edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics. We give an overview of 3-dimensional topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) and the corresponding quantum invariants of 3-manifolds. We…
It is quite an interesting phenomenon in Topology that configuration spaces on a manifold M are intrinsically related to certain mapping spaces from M. In this paper we interpret and greatly expand on this relationship. Building (mainly) on…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be the moduli space of rank 2 stable torsion free sheaves with Chern classes $c_i$ on a smooth 3-fold $X$. When $X$ is toric with torus $T$, we describe the $T$-fixed locus of the moduli space. Connected components of…
In this note, we extend the theory of Chern-Cheeger-Simons to construct canonical invariants for a one-parameter family of flat connections on a smooth manifold. These invariants lie in degrees $(2p-2)$-cohomology with $\C/\Z$-cohomology,…
To any triangulated category with tensor product $(K,\otimes)$, we associate a topological space $Spc(K,\otimes)$, by means of thick subcategories of $K$, a la Hopkins-Neeman-Thomason. Moreover, to each open subset $U$ of $Spc(K,\otimes)$,…
We develop a categorical analogue of Clifford theory for strongly graded rings over graded fusion categories. We describe module categories over a fusion category graded by a group $G$ as induced from module categories over fusion…
The purpose of this paper is to study categorifications of tensor products of finite dimensional modules for the quantum group for sl(2). The main categorification is obtained using certain Harish-Chandra bimodules for the complex Lie…
