We investigate the orderability properties of fundamental groups of 3-dimensional manifolds. Many 3-manifold groups support left-invariant orderings, including all compact P^2-irreducible manifolds with positive first Betti number. For…

We prove that the stable moduli space of $(n-1)$-connected, $n$-parallelizable, $(2n+1)$-dimensional manifolds is homology equivalent to an infinite loopspace for $n \geq 4, n \neq 7$. The main novel ingredient is a version of the cobordism…

An explicit invariant-theoretic description of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3^1$ of degree-three rational maps on $\mathbb{P}^1$ is developed. A cubic map $\phi$ is represented, up to conjugation, by the pair of binary forms $(f, g) \in…

Let P be a connected smooth p-manifold. We describe the group of all cobordism classes of smooth maps of n-manifolds to P with singularities of a given $cal K$-invariant class in terms of certain stable homotopy groups by applying the…

We introduce Manifold tensor categories, which make precise the notion of a tensor category with a manifold of simple objects. A basic example is the category of vector spaces graded by a Lie group. Unlike classic tensor category theory,…

We generalize the construction of a moduli space of semistable pairs parametrizing isomorphism classes of morphisms from a fixed coherent sheaf to any sheaf with fixed Hilbert polynomial under a notion of stability to the case of projective…

This paper contains some applications of Bridgeland-Douglas stability conditions on triangulated categories, and Joyce's work on counting invariants of semistable objects, to the study of birational geometry. We introduce the notion of…

We give bordism-finiteness results for manifolds with semi-simple group action. Consider the class of oriented manifolds which admit a circle action with isolated fixed points such that the action extends to an $S^3$-action with fixed…

Motivated by S-duality modularity conjectures in string theory, we define new invariants counting a restricted class of 2-dimensional torsion sheaves, enumerating pairs $Z\subset H$ in a Calabi-Yau threefold X. Here H is a member of a…

We study the categories of singularities coming from Landau-Ginzburg models given by the invertible polynomials. Such categories appear on the B-side of the Berglund-H\"ubsch mirror symmetry. We provide an efficient method of computing…

We construct the stable (representable) homotopy category of finite orbispectra, whose objects are formal desuspensions of finite orbi-CW-pairs by vector bundles and whose morphisms are stable homotopy classes of (representable) relative…

This is a continuation of the paper "Modular tensor categories and orbifold theories", arXiv:math.QA/0104242. It discusses orbifold models of conformal filed theory, or, in mathematical language, question of constructing the category of…

We find all possible isomorphisms and 3-birational maps (i.e., birational maps which induce an isomorphism between open subsets whose respective complements have codimension at least 3) between moduli spaces of parabolic vector bundles with…

We compute the rational homology of the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}$ of objects in the derived category of certain smooth complex projective varieties $X$ including toric varieties, flag varieties, curves, surfaces, and some 3- and 4-folds.…

In topology, a torus remains invariant under certain non-trivial transformations known as modular transformations. In the context of topologically ordered quantum states of matter, these transformations encode the braiding statistics and…

This paper investigates the distribution of non-rigid families in a moduli space $\mathcal{M}$ of polarized projective manifolds for which the infinitesimal Torelli theorem holds. Guided by the analogy with unlikely intersection in Shimura…

In this paper we construct certain moduli spaces, which we call moduli spaces of (principal) $F$-bundles, and study their basic properties. These spaces are associated to triples consisting of a smooth projective geometrically connected…

We show that once-extended anomalous 3-dimensional topological quantum field theories valued in the 2-category of k-linear categories are in canonical bijection with modular tensor categories equipped with a square root of the global…

The aim of this paper is to construct the cohomological Hall algebras for $3$-Calabi--Yau categories admitting a strong orientation data. This can be regarded as a mathematical definition of the algebra of BPS states, whose existence was…

Let $X$ denote the total space of cotangent bundle of projective plane. This is a non-compact Calabi-Yau $4$-fold (also called local Calabi-Yau variety in physics literature). The aim of this paper is to use tilting objects to characterize…
