A cohomology theory for "odd polygon" relations -- algebraic imitations of Pachner moves in dimensions 3, 5, ... -- is constructed. Manifold invariants based on polygon relations and nontrivial polygon cocycles are proposed. Example…

We provide a natural interpretation of the secondary Euler characteristic and introduce higher Euler characteristics. For a compact oriented manifold of odd dimension, the secondary Euler characteristic recovers the Kervaire…

We establish sharp Hardy-Adams inequalities on hyperbolic space $\mathbb{B}^{4}$ of dimension four. Namely, we will show that for any $\alpha>0$ there exists a constant $C_{\alpha}>0$ such that \[ \int_{\mathbb{B}^{4}}(e^{32\pi^{2}…

In this article, we introduce a class of closed $2n$-dimensional almost K\"{a}hler manifold $X$ which called the special symplectic hyperbolic manifold. Those manifolds include K\"{a}hler hyperbolic manifolds. We study the spaces of…

We study Bott-Chern and Aeppli cohomologies of a vector space endowed with two anti-commuting endomorphisms whose square is zero. In particular, we prove an inequality \`a la Fr\"olicher relating the dimensions of the Bott-Chern and Aeppli…

In the author's previous joint work with Hans-Joachim Hein, a mass formula for asymptotically locally Euclidean (ALE) Kaehler manifolds was proved, assuming only relatively weak fall-off conditions on the metric. However, the case of real…

A new class of compact K\"ahler manifolds, called special, is defined, which are the ones having no surjective meromorphic map to an orbifold of general type. The special manifolds are in many respect higher-dimensional generalisations of…

We describe mirror manifolds in dimensions different from the familiar case of complex threefolds. We emphasize the simplifying features of dimension three and supply more robust methods that do not rely on such special characteristics and…

We show that the Pauli-Villars regularized action for a scalar field in a gravitational background in 1+1 dimensions has, for any value of the cutoff M, a symmetry which involves non-local transformations of the regulator field plus (local)…

For certain tame abelian covers of arithmetic surfaces X/Y we obtain striking formulas, involving a quadratic form derived from intersection numbers, for the equivariant Euler characteristics of both the canonical sheaf !X/Y and also its…

We derive a formula of Chern-Gauss-Bonnet type for the Euler characteristic of a four dimensional manifold-with-boundary in terms of the geometry of the Loewner-Nirenberg singular Yamabe metric in a prescribed conformal class. The formula…

The finiteness condition of renormalization gives a restriction on the form of the gravitational action. By reconsidering the Hathrell's RG equations for massless QED in curved space, we determine the gravitational counterterms and the…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold and let $(L, \varphi)$ be a pseudo-effective line bundle on $X$. We first define a notion of numerical dimension of pseudo-effective line bundles with singular metrics, and then discuss the properties…

We prove that a rational linear combination of Chern numbers is an oriented diffeomorphism invariant of smooth complex projective varieties if and only if it is a linear combination of the Euler and Pontryagin numbers. In dimension at least…

In this paper we introduce the p-Laplace equations for the intermediate Schouten curvature in conformal geometry. These p-Laplace equations provide more tools for the study of geometry and topology of manifolds. First, the positivity of the…

Odd $K$-theory has the interesting property that it admits an infinite number of inequivalent differential refinements. In this paper we provide a bundle theoretic model for odd differential $K$-theory using the caloron correspondence and…

The characterization of a six- (or seven)-dimensional internal manifold with metric as having positive, zero or negative curvature is expected to be an important aspect of warped compactifications in supergravity. In this context, Douglas…
