The main result of this note, Theorem 2, is the following: a Borel measure on the space of infinite Hermitian matrices, that is invariant under the action of the infinite unitary group and that admits well-defined projections onto the…

Let $L$ be a countable language. We characterize, in terms of definable closure, those countable theories $\Sigma$ of $\mathcal{L}_{\omega_1, \omega}(L)$ for which there exists an $S_\infty$-invariant probability measure on the collection…

We study the Toda conjecture of Eguchi and Yang for the Gromov-Witten invariants of CP^1,using the bihamiltonian method of the formal calculus of variations. We also study its relationship to the Virasoro conjecture for CP^1, recently…

We prove that on closed Riemannian manifolds with infinite abelian, but not cyclic, fundamental group, any isometry that is homotopic to the identity possesses infinitely many invariant geodesics. We conjecture that the result remains true…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $V$ a faithful finite-dimensional representation of $G$ over the complex field $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{C}(V)^{G}$ be the corresponding invariant field. The Bogomolov multiplier $B_{0}(G)$ of $G$ is canonically…

A difference equation is proved for the Gromov-Witten potential of the resolved conifold. Using the Gopakumar-Vafa resummation of the Gromov-Witten invariants of any Calabi-Yau threefold, it is further shown that similar difference…

We investigate swampland conjectures for quantum gravity in the context of M-theory compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds which admit infinite sequences of flops. Naively, the moduli space of such compactifications contains paths of…

We provide a new proof of ``most" cases of the polynomial Wiener-Wintner theorem for $\sigma$-finite spaces, using hard-analytic methods. Specifically, we prove that whenever $(X,\mu,T)$ is a $\sigma$-finite measure-preserving system, and…

A conjecture of Berkovich asserts that every non-simple finite p-group has a non-inner automorphism of order p. This conjecture is far from being proved despite the great effort devoted to it. In this paper we prove it for p-groups of…

The Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for a group G states that a compact spin manifold with fundamental group G admits a metric of positive scalar curvature if and only if a certain topological obstruction vanishes. It is known to be true…

We conjecture a formula for the generating function of genus one Gromov-Witten invariants of the local Calabi-Yau manifolds which are the total spaces of splitting bundles over projective spaces. We prove this conjecture in several special…

This article analyzes the interplay between symplectic geometry in dimension four and the invariants for smooth four-manifolds constructed using holomorphic triangles introduced in math.SG/0110169. Specifically, we establish a non-vanishing…

We define higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants and establish a mathematical theory of sigma model coupled with gravity over any semi-positive symplectic manifolds. As applications, we verify the stablizing conjecture of symplectic…

In this article we prove three main theorems: (1) guessing models are internally unbounded, (2) for any regular cardinal $\kappa \ge \omega_2$, $\textsf{ISP}(\kappa)$ implies that $\textsf{SCH}$ holds above $\kappa$, and (3) forcing posets…

We study complete, finite volume $n$-manifolds $M$ of bounded nonpositive sectional curvature. A classical theorem of Gromov says that if such $M$ has negative curvature then it is homeomorphic to the interior of a compact…

We prove a finiteness result for the systolic area of groups, answering a question of M. Gromov. Namely, we show that there are only finitely many possible unfree factors of fundamental groups of~2-complexes whose systolic area is uniformly…

In this short note, exploits of constructions of $\mathcal{F}$-structures coupled with technology developed by Cheeger-Gromov and Paternain-Petean are seen to yield a procedure to compute minimal entropy, minimal volume, Yamabe invariant…

We propose that geometric quantization of symplectic manifolds is the arrow part of a functor, whose object part is deformation quantization of Poisson manifolds. The `quantization commutes with reduction' conjecture of Guillemin and…

We show that the minimal volume entropy of closed manifolds remains unaffected when nonessential manifolds are added in a connected sum. We combine this result with the stable cohomotopy invariant of Bauer-Furuta in order to present an…

Kobayashi-Ochiai proved that the set of dominant maps from a fixed variety to a fixed variety of general type is finite. We prove the natural extension of their finiteness theorem to Campana's orbifold pairs.
