Let $T$ be a torus and $B$ a compact $T-$manifold. Goresky, Kottwitz, and MacPherson show in \cite{GKM} that if $B$ is (what was subsequently called) a GKM manifold, then there exists a simple combinatorial description of the equivariant…
Group field theories are a new type of field theories over group manifolds and a generalization of matrix models, that have recently attracted much interest in quantum gravity research. They represent a development of and a possible link…
In this paper we will survey some recent developments in the last decade or so on variation of Geometric Invariant Theory and its applications to Birational Geometry such as the weak Factorization Theorems of nonsingular projective…
Equivariant cohomology is a mathematical framework particularly well adapted to a kinematical understanding of topological gauge theories of the cohomological type. It also sheds some light on gauge fixing, a necessary field theory…
The study of embeddings of smooth manifolds into Euclidean and projective spaces has been for a long time an important area in topology. In this paper we obtain improvements of classical results on embeddings of smooth manifolds, focusing…
We develop an abstract KAM theorem for systems of infinitely many interacting particles with decaying masses and all-to-all interactions. Using this framework, we construct full-dimensional KAM tori for infinite-dimensional mechanical…
A generic method for combinatorial constructions of intrinsic geometrical spaces is presented. It is based on the well known inverse sequences of finite graphs that determine (in the limit) topological spaces. If a pattern of the…
It is a long-standing question to extend the definition of 3-dimensional Chern-Simons theory to one which associates values to 1-manifolds with boundary and to 0-manifolds. We provide a solution in case the gauge group is a torus. We also…
The problem of constructing a quantum theory of gravity has been tackled with very different strategies, most of which relying on the interplay between ideas from physics and from advanced mathematics. On the mathematical side, a central…
This book introduces a new context for global homotopy theory, i.e., equivariant homotopy theory with universal symmetries. Many important equivariant theories naturally exist not just for a particular group, but in a uniform way for all…
Group field theories represent a 2nd quantized reformulation of the loop quantum gravity state space and a completion of the spin foam formalism. States of the canonical theory, in the traditional continuum setting, have support on graphs…
Knowledge graph (KG) embedding aims at embedding entities and relations in a KG into a lowdimensional latent representation space. Existing KG embedding approaches model entities andrelations in a KG by utilizing real-valued ,…
Many scientific problems require to process data in the form of geometric graphs. Unlike generic graph data, geometric graphs exhibit symmetries of translations, rotations, and/or reflections. Researchers have leveraged such inductive bias…
A central question in equivariant algebraic K-theory asks whether there exists an equivariant K-theory machine from genuine symmetric monoidal G-categories to orthogonal G-spectra that preserves equivariant algebraic structures. We answer…
We describe correlations functions of topological quantum mechanics (TQM) in terms of Morse theory. We review the basics of topological field theories and discuss geometric and algebraic interpretations of TQM. We prove that correlators in…
Group field theories are quantum field theories built on groups. They can be seen as a tool to generate topological state-sums or quantum gravity models. For four dimensional manifolds, different arguments have pointed towards 2-groups…
In this paper we study a natural decomposition of $G$-equivariant $K$-theory of a proper $G$-space, when $G$ is a Lie group with a compact normal subgroup $A$ acting trivially. Our decomposition could be understood as a generalization of…
We introduce a class of labeled graphs (with legs) which contains two classes of GKM graphs of $4n$-dimensional manifolds with $T^{n}\times S^{1}$-actions, i.e., GKM graphs of the toric hyperK${\rm\ddot{a}}$hler manifolds and of the…
We present a precise definition of extended homotopy quantum field theories and develop an orbifold construction for these theories when the target space is the classifying space of a finite group $G$, i.e. for $G$-equivariant topological…
We classify $T^2$-GKM fibrations in which both fiber and base are the GKM graph of $S^4$, with standard weights in the base. For each case in which the total space is orientable, we construct, by explicit clutching, a realization as a…
