We show that a graph contains a large wall as a strong immersion minor if and only if the graph does not admit a tree-cut decomposition of small `width', which is measured in terms of its adhesion and the path-likeness of its torsos.
We prove the BPS decomposition theorem (a.k.a. cohomological integrality theorem) decomposing the cohomology of smooth symmetric stacks into the Weyl-invariant part of the cohomological Hall induction of the intersection cohomology of good…
The well-known Koml\'os conjecture states that given $n$ vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with Euclidean norm at most one, there always exists a $\pm 1$ coloring such that the $\ell_{\infty}$ norm of the signed-sum vector is a constant independent…
The Algebra of the Infrared \cite{Gaiotto:2015aoa} is a framework to construct local observables, interfaces, and categories of supersymmetric boundary conditions of massive $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ theories in two dimensions by using…
The classification of mixed-state topological order requires indices that behave monotonically under finite-depth quantum channels. In two dimensions, a braided $C^*$-tensor category, which corresponds to strong symmetry, arises from a…
An isometric immersion $f: M^{n} \rightarrow \tilde M^{m}$ from an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M^{n}$ into an almost Hermitian manifold $\tilde M^{m}$ of complex dimension $m$ is called pointwise slant if its Wirtinger angles…
This paper studies Cheeger deformations on $\mathrm{S}^3, \mathrm{SO}(3)$ principal bundles to obtain conditions for positive sectional curvature submersion metrics. We conclude, in particular, a stronger version of the Petersen--Wilhelm…
Recently, M. Sieber and K. Richter achieved a breakthrough towards a proof of the BGS-conjecture by calculating semiclassically a first correction to the diagonal approximation of the orthogonal form factor for geodesic flow on a Riemann…
We prove a generalized version of the Morse index theorem for geodesics endowed with a non positive definite metric tensor (semi-Riemannian manifolds). We apply the result to obtain lower estimates on the number of geodesics joining two…
Characteristic classes of oriented vector bundles can be identified with cohomology classes of the disjoint union of classifying spaces BSO_n of special orthogonal groups SO_n with n=0,1,... A characteristic class is stable if it extends to…
For every $\;b>1\;$ fixed, we explicitly construct $1$-dimensional families of embedded constrained Willmore tori parametrized by their conformal class $\;(a,b)$\; with $\; a \sim_b 0^+\;$ deforming the homogenous torus \;$f^b$ of conformal…
We compute the mod 2 homology of spin mapping class groups in the stable range. In earlier work we computed the stable mod p homology of the oriented mapping class group, and the methods and results here are very similar. The forgetful map…
Given a holomorphic submersion of reduced complex spaces, we prove that the basic Oka property of the submersion implies the parametric Oka property. This generalizes the corresponding result for complex manifolds (F. Forstneric, Oka…
We prove the Mond conjecture for wave fronts which states that the number of parameters of a frontal versal unfolding is less than or equal to the number of spheres in the image of a stable frontal deformation with equality if the wave…
We develop foundations for oriented category theory, an extension of $(\infty,\infty)$-category theory obtained by systematic usage of the Gray tensor product, in order to study lax phenomena in higher category theory. As categorical…
We study how universality classes of O(N)-symmetric models depend continuously on the dimension d and the number of field components N. We observe, from a renormalization group perspective, how the implications of the…
By introducing the notion of distributive constant for a family of closed subschemes, we establish a general form of the second main theorem for algebraic nondegenerate meromorphic mappings from a generalized $p$-Parabolic manifold into a…
We show that it is consistent relative to the existence of suitable large cardinals that for any countable-to-one coloring $c: [\omega_2]^2\to \omega_2$, there exists a closed subset $A\subseteq \omega_2$ of order type $\omega_1$ such that…
We give a constructive proof that a repetitive Meyer multiple set of $\mathbb{R}^d$ admits a smallest model multiple set containing it colorwise.
We collect some of our favorite proofs of Brooks' Theorem, highlighting advantages and extensions of each. The proofs illustrate some of the major techniques in graph coloring, such as greedy coloring, Kempe chains, hitting sets, and the…
