We show that moduli spaces of stable maps admits virtual orbifold structure. The symplectic version of virtual localization formula is obtained.

In this paper, we provide a geometric characterization of virtual nonlinear nonholonomic constraints from a symplectic perspective. Under a transversality assumption, there is a unique control law making the trajectories of the associated…

Let $E$ be the Whitney sum of complex line bundles over a topological space $X$. Then, the projectivization $P(E)$ of $E$ is called a \emph{projective bundle} over $X$. If $X$ is a non-singular complete toric variety, so is $P(E)$. In this…

We give a log-geometric description of the space of twisted canonical divisors constructed by Farkas--Pandharipande. In particular, we introduce the notion of a principal rubber $k$-log-canonical divisor, and we study its moduli space. It…

We realise Heckenberger and Kolb's canonical calculus on quantum projective (n-1)-space as the restriction of a distinguished quotient of the standard bicovariant calculus for Cq[SUn]. We introduce a calculus on the quantum (2n-1)-sphere in…

Projective Simulation was introduced as a novel approach to Artificial Intelligence. It involves a deliberation procedure that consists of a random walk on a graph of clips and allows for the learning agent to project itself into the future…

We study the quantisation of complex, finite-dimensional, compact, classical phase spaces C, by explicitly constructing Hilbert-space vector bundles over C. We find that these vector bundles split as the direct sum of two holomorphic vector…

Virtual knot theory, introduced by Kauffman, is a generalization of classical knot theory of interest because its finite-type invariant theory is potentially a topological interpretation of Etingof and Kazhdan's theory of quantization of…

The purpose of this paper is to apply deformation quantization to the study of the coadjoint orbit method in the case of real reductive groups. We first prove some general results on the existence of equivariant deformation quantization of…

Let G be a torus of dimension n > 1 and M a compact Hamiltonian G-manifold with $M^G$ finite. A circle, $S^1$, in G is generic if $M^G = M^{S^1}$. For such a circle the moment map associated with its action on M is a perfect Morse function.…

This paper presents an iterative scheme that converges to the solution of a pseudo-monotone variational inequality problem in the setting of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. Traditional methods often require projections onto the feasible set…

We define and study virtual representation spaces having both positive and negative dimensions at the vertices of a quiver without oriented cycles. We consider the natural semi-invariants on these spaces which we call virtual…

Let $(V,q)$ be a vector bundle on a smooth projective curve $X$ together with a quadratic form $q: \mathrm{Sym}^2(V) \ra \mathcal{O}_X$ (respectively symplectic form $q: \Lambda^2V \ra \mathcal{O}_X$). Fixing the degeneracy locus of the…

Using virtual localization in Witt sheaf cohomology, we show that the generating series of quadratic Donaldson-Thomas invariants of $(\mathbb{P}^1)^3$, valued in the Witt ring of $\mathbb{R}$, $W(\mathbb{R})\cong \mathbb{Z}$, is equal to…

We introduce the space of virtual Markov chains (VMCs) as a projective limit of the spaces of all finite state space Markov chains (MCs), in the same way that the space of virtual permutations is the projective limit of the spaces of all…

We construct equivariant vector bundles over quantum projective spaces making use of parabolic Verma modules over the quantum general linear group. Using an alternative realization of the quantized coordinate ring of projective space as a…

This article is an expanded version of talks given by the authors in Oberwolfach, Bochum, and at the Fano Conference in Torino. Some new results (e. g. the material concerning flag varieties, Quot spaces over $\P^1$, and the generalized…

As put forward in [arXiv:1907.12339] topological quantum field theories can be projected using so-called projection defects. The projected theory and its correlation functions can be completely realized within the unprojected one. An…

We extend the graphical calculus developed in the first part of this paper to the parametrising spaces of quantum vertex operators. This involves a graphical implementation of the dynamical twist functor, which is a strict monoidal functor…

We compute the convolution product on the equivariant K-groups of the cyclic quiver variety. We get a q-analogue of double-loop algebras, closely related to the toroidal quantum groups previously studied by the authors. We also give a…
