Eventually after Dieudonn\'e-Grothendieck, we give intrinsic definitions of \'etale, lisse and non-ramifi\'e morphisms for general adic rings and general locally convex rings. And we investigate the corresponding \'etale-like, lisse-like…

Let G be a simple Lie group of real rank one, and S the ideal boundary of the corresponding symmetric space of noncompact type (H^n_R, H^n_C, H^n_H or H^2_O). We show the finiteness of the possible values of the secondary characteristic…

Tangent categories provide a categorical axiomatization of the tangent bundle. There are many interesting examples and applications of tangent categories in a variety of areas such as differential geometry, algebraic geometry, algebra, and…

We define a class of monoidal categories whose morphisms are diagrams, and which are enhancements and generalisations of the Brauer category obtained by adjoining infinitesimal braids, "coupons" and poles. Properties of these categories are…

This paper shows that the integral equivariant cohomology Chern numbers completely determine the equivariant geometric unitary bordism classes of closed unitary $G$-manifolds, which gives an affirmative answer to the conjecture posed by…

We prove the so called Liv\v{s}ic theorem for cocycles taking values in the group of $C^{1+\beta}-diffeomorphisms of any closed manifold of arbitrary dimension. Since no localization hypothesis is assumed, this result is completely global…

In string theory, the concept of T-duality between two principal T^n-bundles E_1 and E_2 over the same base space B, together with cohomology classes h_1\in H^3(E_1) and h_2\in H^3(E_2), has been introduced. One of the main virtues of…

For a ribbon fusion category $\mathcal{A}$ and a special symmetric commutative Frobenius algebra $F$ in $\mathcal{A}$, we use factorization homology and the ansular correlators obtained via the modular microcosm principle to construct a…

Beauville asked if a compact K\"ahler manifold with split tangent bundle has a universal covering that is a product of manifolds. We use Mori theory and elementary results about holomorphic foliations to study this problem for projective…

We define notions of pivotal and ribbon objects in a monoidal category. These constructions give pivotal or ribbon monoidal categories from a monoidal category which is not necessarily with duals. We apply this construction to the braided…

It is shown that the Topological Massive and ``Self-dual'' theories, which are known to provide locally equivalent descriptions of spin 1 theories in 2+1 dimensions, have different global properties when formulated over topologically…

If $\bar\rho$ is an automorphic modulo $p$ Galois representation, it is natural to wonder if automorphic points are Zariski dense in the deformation space of $\bar\rho$. We prove new results in this direction in the case of a unitary group…

Tangent categories offer a categorical context for differential geometry, by categorifying geometric notions like the tangent bundle functor, vector fields, Euclidean spaces, vector bundles, connections, etc. In the last decade, the theory…

The 1987 Bourgain-Tzafriri Restricted Invertibility Theorem is one of the most celebrated theorems in analysis. At the time of their work, the authors raised the question of a possible infinite dimensional version of the theorem. In this…

Let $P$ be a pseudogroup of local diffeomorphisms of an $n$-dimensional smooth manifold $M$. Following Losik we consider characteristic classes of the quotient $M/P$ as elements of the de~Rham cohomology of the second order frame bundles…

A tangent category is a category with an endofunctor, called the tangent bundle functor, which is equipped with various natural transformations that capture essential properties of the classical tangent bundle of smooth manifolds. In this…

We prove a conjecture of Brochier, Jordan, Safronov, and Snyder [BJSS21], first formulated by Lurie [Lur09b], characterizing fully-dualizable and invertible $\mathcal{E}_n$-algebras viewed as objects in the higher Morita categories…

The goal of this work is to describe a categorical formalism for (Extended) Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) and present them as functors from a suitable category of cobordisms with corners to a linear category, generalizing 2d…

Let $X$ be an irreducible projective variety and $f$ a morphism $X \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$. We give a new proof of the fact that the preimage of any linear variety of dimension $k\ge n+1-\dim f(X)$ is connected. We prove that the…

Turaev conjectured that the classification, realization and splitting results for Poincar\'e duality complexes of dimension $3$ (PD$_{3}$-complexes) generalize to PD$_{n}$-complexes with $(n-2)$-connected universal cover for $n \ge 3$.…
