The Hopf theorem states that homotopy classes of continuous maps from a closed connected oriented smooth $n$-manifold $M$ to the $n$-sphere are classified by their degree. Such a map is equivalent to a section of the trivial $n$-sphere…
Let $A_1$ be any spectrum in the class of finite spectra whose mod-2 cohomology is isomorphic to $\mathcal{A}(1)$ as a module over the subalgebra $\mathcal{A}(1)$ of the Steenrod algebra; let $tmf$ be the connective spectrum of topological…
The cohomology theory TMF of topological modular forms is a derived algebro-geometric interpretation of the classical ring of complex modular forms from number theory. In this article, we refine the classical Adams operations, Hecke…
We present an algorithm for reliably and systematically proving the existence of spectral gaps in Hamiltonians with quasicrystalline order, based on numerical calculations on finite domains. We apply this algorithm to prove that the…
Given a CW-complex A we define an `A-shaped' homology theory which behaves nicely towards A-homotopy groups allowing the generalization of many classical results. We also develop a relative version of the Federer spectral sequence for…
We describe and compute the homotopy of spectra of topological modular forms of level 3. We give some computations related to the "building complex" associated to level 3 structures at the prime 2. Finally, we note the existence of a number…
Let $R$ be an $E_\infty$-ring spectrum. Given a map $\zeta$ from a space $X$ to $BGL_1R$, one can construct a Thom spectrum, $X^\zeta$, which generalises the classical notion of Thom spectrum for spherical fibrations in the case $R=S^0$,…
The goal of this article is to construct and study connective versions of topological modular forms of higher level like $\mathrm{tmf}_1(n)$. In particular, we use them to realize Hirzebruch's level-$n$ genus as a map of ring spectra.
We study three connective versions of the spectrum for topological modular forms of level 3. All three were described briefly by Mahowald and Rezk in [Pure Appl Math Quar (2009)], but we add much detail to their discussion. Letting tmf(3)…
We develop the topological band theory for systems described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, whose energy spectra are generally complex. After generalizing the notion of gapped band structures to the non-Hermitian case, we classify "gapped"…
This paper is a continuation of the version I of the same title, which intends to clarify and expand the results in the last chapter of `the green book' by the second author. In particular, we give the stable homotopy groups of $p$-local…
In this paper, we study the elliptic spectral sequence computing $tmf_*(\mathbb{R} P^2)$ and $tmf_* (\mathbb{R} P^2 \wedge \mathbb{C} P^2)$. Specifically, we compute all differentials and resolve exotic extensions by 2, $\eta$, and $\nu$.…

The theory of topological modular forms (TMF) predicts that elliptic genera of physical theories satisfy a certain divisibility property, determined by the theory's gravitational anomaly. In this note we verify this prediction in Duncan's…
This is the companion article to the Bourbaki talk of the same name given in March 2009. The main theme of the talk and the article is to explain the interplay between homotopy theory and algebraic geometry through the Hopkins-Miller-Lurie…
We classify thick subcategories of the $\infty$-categories of perfect modules over ring spectra which arise as functions on even periodic derived stacks satisfying affineness and regularity conditions. For example, we show that the thick…
We give a simple universal property of the multiplicative structure on the Thom spectrum of an $n$-fold loop map, obtained as a special case of a characterization of the algebra structure on the colimit of a lax $\mathcal{O}$-monoidal…
The cyclicity problem, crucial in analyzing planar vector fields, consists in estimating the number of limit cycles emanating from monodromic singularities. Traditionally, this estimation relies on Lyapunov coefficients. However, in…
A C-motivic modular forms spectrum mmf has recently been constructed. This article presents detailed computational information on the Adams spectral sequence for mmf. This information is essential for computing with the C-motivic and…
Although it is well recognized that waves propagating in periodic media have forbidden gaps in the continuous spectrum, it is still yet unknown about the minimum number and depth of periodic modulations for clear spectral formation. This…
