We consider some classical fibre bundles furnished with almost complex structures of twistor type, deduce their integrability in some cases and study \textit{self-holomorphic} sections of a \textit{symplectic} twistor space. With these we…

A $\mathbb Z_2$-harmonic spinor on a 3-manifold $Y$ is a solution of the Dirac equation on a bundle that is twisted around a submanifold $\mathcal Z$ of codimension 2 called the singular set. This article investigates the local structure of…

Spinor structure is understood as a totality of tensor products of biquaternion algebras, and the each tensor product is associated with an irreducible representation of the Lorentz group. A so-defined algebraic structure allows one to…

By using the loop orbifold of the symmetric product, we give a formula for the Poincar\'e polynomial of the free loop space of the Borel construction of the symmetric product. We also show that the Chas-Sullivan product structure in the…

In this work, we propose a novel framework for defining the dual structure of a spinor. This construction relies on the basis elements of the Clifford algebra, leading to a covariant structure that embeds the dual. The formulation includes…

We study the moduli space of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations with $N$ spinors on a compact Riemann surface. These moduli spaces arise in a program to define a new enumerative invariant of 3-manifolds. They are also of independent…

We lay the foundation for a version of $r$-spin theory in genus zero for Riemann surfaces with boundary. In particular, we define the notion of $r$-spin disks, their moduli space, and the Witten bundle, we show that the moduli space is a…

The string topology coproduct is often perceived as a counterpart in string topology to the Chas-Sullivan product. However, in certain aspects the string topology coproduct is much harder to understand than the Chas-Sullivan product. In…

An S-fold has played an important role in constructing supersymmetric field theories with interesting features. It can be viewed as a type of AdS_4 solutions of Type IIB string theory where the fields in overlapping patches are glued by…

A hypercomplex manifold is by definition a smooth manifold equipped with two anticommuting integrable almost complex structures. For example, every hyperkaehler manifold is canonically hypercomplex (the converse is not true). For every…

We describe a construction of fibrewise inner products on the cotangent bundle of the smooth free loop space of a Riemannian manifold. Using this inner product, we construct an operator over the loop space of a string manifold which is…

Given a flat conic bundle $X/S$ and an abstract spinor bundle $\mathcal{F}$ on $X$ we define a new conic bundle $X_{\mathcal{F}}/S$, called a spinor modification of $X$, such that the even Clifford algebras of $X/S$ and $X_{\mathcal{F}}/S$…

In this paper we construct a bicategory of (super) algebra bundles over a smooth manifold, where the 1-morphisms are bundles of bimodules. The main point is that naive definitions of bimodule bundles will not lead to a well-defined…

We develop a ready-to-use comprehensive theory for (super) 2-vector bundles over smooth manifolds. It is based on the bicategory of (super) algebras, bimodules, and intertwiners as a model for 2-vector spaces. We discuss symmetric monoidal…
