We settle several questions about the theory of universal deformation quantization of Lie bialgebras by giving their complete classification up to homotopy equivalence. An important new technical ingredient introduced in this paper is an…

We study when a smooth variety $X$, embedded diagonally in its Cartesian square, is the zero scheme of a section of a vector bundle of rank $\dim(X)$ on $X\times X$. We call this the diagonal property (D). It was known that it holds for all…

In previous work with Niles Johnson the author constructed a spectral sequence for computing homotopy groups of spaces of maps between structured objects such as G-spaces and E_n-ring spectra. In this paper we study special cases of this…

We compute the homotopy type of the moduli space of flat, unitary connections over aspherical surfaces, after stabilizing with respect to the rank of the underlying bundle. Over the orientable surface M^g, we show that this space has the…

Let $ \mathcal{D} = \{D_{1}, \ldots, D_{\ell}\} $ be an arrangement of smooth hypersurfaces with normal crossings on the complex projective space $ \mathbb{P}^{n} $ and let $ \Omega^{1}_{\mathbb{P}^{n}}(log \mathcal{D}) $ be the logarithmic…

This paper provides an explicit cofibrant resolution of the operad encoding Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras. Thus it defines the notion of homotopy Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras with the required homotopy properties. To define this resolution we…

We compare the invariants of flat vector bundles defined by Atiyah et al. and Jones et al. and prove that, up to weak homotopy, they induce the same map, denoted by $e$, from the $0$-connective algebraic $K$-theory space of the complex…

We present a rigorous homogenization theorem for distributed dislocations. We construct a sequence of locally-flat Riemannian manifolds with dislocation-type singularities. We show that this sequence converges, as the dislocations become…

We develop a general theory of cosimplicial resolutions, homotopy spectral sequences, and completions for objects in model categories, extending work of Bousfield-Kan and Bendersky-Thompson for ordinary spaces. This is based on a…

We set up a homological algebra for N-complexes, which are graded modules together with a degree -1 endomorphism d satisfying d^N=0. We define Tor- and Ext-groups for N-complexes and we compute them in terms of their classical counterparts…

This paper provides a pedagogical introduction to recent developments in geometrical and topological band theory following the discovery of graphene and topological insulators. Amusingly, many of these developments have a connection to…

Synthetic algebraic geometry uses homotopy type theory extended with three axioms to develop algebraic geometry internal to a higher version of the Zariski topos. In this article we make no essential use of the higher structure and use…

This is a foundation for algebraic geometry, developed internal to the Zariski topos, building on the work of Kock and Blechschmidt. The Zariski topos consists of sheaves on the site opposite to the category of finitely presented algebras…

In this paper we analyse the topological group cohomology of finite-dimensional Lie groups. We introduce a technique for computing it (as abelian groups) for torus coefficients by the naturally associated long exact sequence. The upshot in…

The 2-matrix model has been introduced to study Ising model on random surfaces. Since then, the link between matrix models and combinatorics of discrete surfaces has strongly tightened. This manuscript aims to investigate these deep links…

In a recent paper, J.-B. Bost establishes a criterion for certain ``formal subvarieties'' of algebraic varieties to be algebraic. His theorem unifies and generalizes results of Chudnovsky's and Y. Andr\'e, motivated by an arithmetic…
