In this note we study the problem of conformally flat structures bounding conformally flat structures and show that the eta invariants give obstructions. These lead us to the definition of an abelian group, the conformal cobordism group,…

We give a full classification of Lie algebras of specific type in complexified Clifford algebras. These sixteen Lie algebras are direct sums of subspaces of quaternion types. We obtain isomorphisms between these Lie algebras and classical…

We compute the $L^p$-cohomology spaces of some negatively curved manifolds. We deal with two cases: manifolds with finite volume and sufficiently pinched negative curvature, and conformally compact manifolds.

We define a cotriple (co)homology of crossed modules with coefficients in a $\pi_1$-module. We prove its general properties, including the connection with the existing cotriple theories on crossed modules. We establish the relationship with…

For a finite group $G$, we define the $G$-cobordism category in dimension two. We show there is a one-to-one correspondence between the connected components of its classifying space and the abelianization of $G$. Also, we find an…

This is the second paper of a series that develops a bordism-theoretic point of view on orientations in enumerative geometry. The first paper is arXiv:2312.06818. This paper focuses on those applications to gauge theory that can be…

We give a filtration of the unoriented cobordism ring using the infinite symplectic group, with polynomial generators given one at a time. The generating manifolds are also constructed using the cup construction.

We study modular forms of some congruence subgroups. In this paper, we treat the cases level is 2-power, 3-power or 5. Structures of graded rings and many identities of infinite sum or infinite product are given. Theory of rational (1/3,…

We analyze the topology and geometry of a polyhedron of dimension 2 according to the minimum size of a cover by PL collapsible polyhedra. We provide partial characterizations of the polyhedra of dimension 2 that can be decomposed as the…

Let L/F be a dihedral extension of degree 2p, where p is an odd prime. Let K/F and k/F be subextensions of L/F with degrees p and 2, respectively. Then we will study relations between the p-ranks of the class groups Cl(K) and Cl(k).

Generalizing the ideas of $\mathbb{Z}_k$-manifolds from Sullivan and stratifolds from Kreck, we define $\mathbb{Z}_k$-stratifolds. We show that the bordism theory of $\mathbb{Z}_k$-stratifolds is sufficient to represent all homology classes…

Let A be a finite abelian group. We set up an algebraic framework for studying A-equivariant complex-orientable cohomology theories in terms of a suitable kind of equivariant formal groups. We compute the equivariant cohomology of many…

We introduce M\"obius strip diagram algebras (and their monoid and categorical versions) as subalgebras of a partition-style diagram calculus in which strands may carry handles and M\"obius strip features. We identify the resulting diagram…

We classify closed, topological spin$^+$ 4-manifolds with fundamental group $\pi$ of cohomological dimension $\leq 3$ (up to s-cobordism), after stabilization by connected sum with at most $b_3(\pi)$ copies of $S^2\times S^2$. In general we…

In this paper, the authors apply a stratification of moduli spaces of complex Lie algebras to analyzing the moduli spaces of nxn matrices under scalar similarity and bilinear forms under the cogredient action. For similar matrices, we give…
