We prove that the homology of the mapping class groups of non-orientable surfaces stabilizes with the genus of the surface. Combining our result with recent work of Madsen and Weiss, we obtain that the classifying space of the stable…

We construct GLSM invariants for a general choice of stability in both the narrow and broad sector cases and prove they form a Cohomological Field Theory. This is obtained by forming the analogue of a virtual fundamental class which lives…

We develop the notion of singular support of a coherent sheaf on a quasi-smooth DG scheme or stack and use it to formulate the Geometric Langlands Conjecture.

We use Khovanov-Rozansky gl(N) link homology to define invariants of oriented smooth 4-manifolds, as skein modules constructed from certain 4-categories with well-behaved duals. The technical heart of this construction is a proof of the…

We construct an explicit equivalence between the (bi)category of gl(2) webs and foams and the Bar-Natan (bi)category of Temperley-Lieb diagrams and cobordisms. With this equivalence we can fix functoriality of every link homology theory…

Let $S$ be a closed oriented surface of genus at least two. Gallo, Kapovich, and Marden asked if 2\pi-graftings produce all projective structures on $S$ with arbitrarily fixed holonomy (Grafting Conjecture). In this paper, we show that the…

The flip symmetry on knot diagrams induces an involution on Khovanov homology. We prove that this involution is determined by its behavior on unlinks; in particular, it is the identity map when working over $\mathbb{F}_2$. This confirms a…

We prove the smoothness of the L^2-analytic torsion form on some fiber bundles with non-compact fibers of positive Novikov-Shubin invariant. We do so by generalizing the arguments of Azzali-Goette-Schick to an appropriate Sobolev space, and…

We compute the action of the $\mathfrak{gl}_2$-skein algebra of the torus on the $\mathfrak{gl}_2$-skein module of the solid torus. As a result, we show that the $\mathfrak{gl}_2$-skein modules of lens spaces is spanned by…

We prove that the bigraded colored Khovanov-Rozansky type A link and tangle invariants are functorial with respect to link and tangle cobordisms.

We extend the generalized Khovanov bracket to smooth link cobordisms in $\mathbb{R}^3\times I$ and prove that the resulting theory is functorial up to global invertible scalars. The generalized Khovanov bracket can be specialized to both…

In this paper we define an explicit basis for the $\mathfrak{gl}_n$-web algebra $H_n(\vec{k})$ (the $\mathfrak{gl}_n$ generalization of Khovanov's arc algebra) using categorified $q$-skew Howe duality. Our construction is a…

We introduce equivariant $\mathfrak{gl}_N$ homology for links in the thickened annulus via foam evaluation.

We prove there is a class of maps $\gamma:\mathbb{T}^{2n}\rightarrow\mathbb{S}^1$ such that a conservative dynamically coherent partially hyperbolic skew-product on $\mathbb{T}^{2n}\times\mathbb{S}^1$ with fixed hyperbolic dynamics on the…

In this paper we prove an extension of a result of Gromov, Henkin and Shubin [GHS] on holomorphic L_{2} functions on coverings of strongly pseudoconvex manifolds.

We explore the complex associated to a link in the geometric formalism of Khovanov's (n=2) link homology theory, determine its exact underlying algebraic structure and find its precise universality properties for link homology functors. We…

A classification theorem for conformal flat AK2 manifolds is proved.

The conformal bootstrap in physics has recently been adapted to prove remarkably sharp estimates on Laplace eigenvalues and triple correlations of automorphic forms on compact hyperbolic surfaces. These estimates derive from an infinite…

In this article we study the relation between flat solvmanifolds and $G_2$-geometry. First, we give a classification of 7-dimensional flat splittable solvmanifolds using the classification of finite subgroups of $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$…

We initiate the study of the cohomology of (strict polynomial) bifunctors by introducing the foundational formalism, establishing numerous properties in analogy with the cohomology of functors, and providing computational techniques. Since…
