For a set of maps of based spaces $S$ we construct a version of Weiss' orthogonal calculus which depends only on the $S$-local homotopy type of the functor involved. We show that $S$-local homogeneous functors of degree $n$ are equivalent…
We use a recently proposed formulation of stable holomorphic vector bundles $V$ on elliptically fibered Calabi--Yau n-fold $Z_n$ in terms of toric geometry to describe stability conditions on $V$. Using the toric map $f: W_{n+1} \to…
Guardian maps are scalar maps that vanish when a matrix or polynomial is on the verge of stability. Several guardian maps have been proposed in the literature for Hurwitz stability based on the Kronecker sum, the second lower Schl\"aflian…
We define a category of filtered topological spaces and explore some of its homotopy theoretic properties, including a filtered analogue of CW approximation. With this, we define and study a filtered (weighted) variant of the Euler…
This paper deals with holomorphic self-maps of the complex projective plane and the algebraic relations among the eigenvalues of the derivatives at the fixed points. These eigenvalues are constrained by certain index theorems such as the…
We establish a kind of "degree zero Freudenthal Gm-suspension theorem" in motivic homotopy theory. From this we deduce results about the conservativity of the P^1-stabilization functor. In order to establish these results, we show how to…
In this paper we study the topology of the spaces Hol(M,P{n},k) of (basepoint preserving) holomorphic maps of a given degree k from a Riemann surface M of genus g>0 into the n-th complex projective space P{n}, n>0. Using symmetric products…
We compute the rational homotopy groups in degrees up to approximately $\tfrac{3}{2}$d of the group of diffeomorphisms of a closed d-dimensional disc fixing the boundary. Based on this we determine the optimal rational concordance stable…
We consider the refined $\mathrm{SU}(r)$ Vafa-Witten partition function of a smooth projective surface with non-zero holomorphic 2-form. This partition function has a vertical contribution, expressible in terms of nested Hilbert schemes.…
We construct a notion of derived completion which applies to homomorphisms of commutative S-algebras. We study the relationship of the construction with other constructions of completions, and prove various invariance properties. The…
We characterise the maps into the space of $2$-spheres in $S^n$ that are the conformal Gauss maps of conformal immersions of a surface. In particular, we give an invariant formulation and efficient proof of a characterisation, due to…
We study the homotopy types of certain spaces closely related to the spaces of algebraic (rational) maps from the $m$ dimensional real projective space into the $n$ dimensional complex projective space for $2\leq m\leq 2n$ (we conjecture…
By the celebrated Weierstrass Theorem the set of algebraic polynomials is dense in the space of continuous functions on a compact set in R^d. In this paper we study the following question: does the density hold if we approximate only by…
We study stable homotopy through unstable methods applied to its representing infinite loop space, as pioneered by Curtis and Wellington. Using cohomology instead of homology, we find a width filtration whose subquotients are simple…
Let $\Hol_{x_0}^{{\bf n}} (\C\P^1, X)$ be the space of based holomorphic maps of degree ${\bf n}$ from $\C\P^1$ into a simply connected algebraic variety $X$. Under some condition we prove that the map $\map \Hol_{x_0}^{{\bf n}} (\C\P^1,…
We prove global equivariant refinements of Miller's stable splittings of the infinite orthogonal, unitary and symplectic groups, and more generally of the spaces $O/O(m)$, $U/U(m)$ and $Sp/Sp(m)$. As such, our results encode compatible…
We prove the rigidity of isotropic harmonic maps from a 2-torus to a complex projective space, when they are constructed from holomorphic embeddings associated to complete linear systems. We also prove that this rigidity holds for any…
We give an alternative to Postnikov's homotopy classification of maps from 3-dimensional CW-complexes to homogeneous spaces G/H of Lie groups. It describes homotopy classes in terms of lifts to the group G and is suitable for extending the…
We define and study the counterpart of the Wiener algebra in the quaternionic setting, both for the discrete and continuous case. We prove a Wiener-L\'evy type theorem and a factorization theorem. We give applications to Toeplitz and…
Welschinger invariants of the real projective plane can be computed via the enumeration of enriched graphs, called marked floor diagrams. By a purely combinatorial study of these objects, we prove a Caporaso-Harris type formula which allows…
