Computing topological invariants of 3-manifolds is generally intractable, yet specialized algebraic structures can enable efficient algorithms. For Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev (WRT) invariants of torus bundles, we exploit the non-commutative…
We study the physics of globally consistent four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric M-theory compactifications on $G_2$ manifolds constructed via twisted connected sum; there are now perhaps fifty million examples of these…
We give a proof of the convergence of an algorithm for the construction of lower dimensional elliptic tori in nearly integrable Hamiltonian systems. The existence of such invariant tori is proved by leading the Hamiltonian to a suitable…
We show that tori in Engel 4-manifolds behave analogously to knots in contact 3-manifolds: Every torus with trivial normal bundle is isotopic to infinitely many distinct transverse tori, distinguished locally (and globally in the…
We study special Lagrangian fibrations of $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-manifolds, not necessarily torsion-free. In the case where the fiber is a unimodular Lie group $G$, we decompose such $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structures into triples of solder 1-forms,…
The topology and geometry of the moduli space, M_2, of degree 2 static solutions of the CP^1 model on a torus (spacetime T^2 x R) are studied. It is proved that M_2 is homeomorphic to the left coset space G/G_0 where G is a certain…
For gauge groups $U(1)$ and $SO(3)$ we classify invariant $G_2$-instantons for homogeneous coclosed $G_2$-structures on Aloff-Wallach spaces $X_{k,l}$. As a consequence, we give examples where $G_2$-instantons can be used to distinguish…
We characterize $3$-dimensional manifolds represented as connected sums of Lens spaces, copies of $S^2 \times S^1$, and torus bundles over the circle by certain Morse-Bott functions. This adds to our previous result around 2024, classifying…
It is well-known that topological sigma-models in 2 dimensions constitute a path-integral approach to the study of holomorphic maps from a Riemann surface S to an almost complex manifold K, the most interesting case being that where K is a…
We consider principal fibre bundles with a given connection and construct almost complex structures on the total space if the adjoint bundle is isomorphic to the tangent bundle of the base. We derive the integrability condition. If the…
Witten's topological B-model on a Calabi-Yau background is known to reproduce, in the open string sector, the derived category of coherent sheaves. When the target space is a complex torus, the topological model enjoys a non-geometric…
We study the Jones and Tod correspondence between selfdual conformal 4-manifolds with a conformal vector field and abelian monopoles on Einstein-Weyl 3-manifolds, and prove that invariant complex structures correspond to shear-free geodesic…
A 3D almost-Riemannian manifold is a generalized Riemannian manifold defined locally by 3 vector fields that play the role of an orthonormal frame, but could become collinear on some set $\Zz$ called the singular set. Under the Hormander…
A geometric triangulation of a Riemannian manifold is a triangulation where the interior of each simplex is totally geodesic. Bistellar moves are local changes to the triangulation which are higher dimensional versions of the flip operation…
We study the closure of a complex subtorus in a toric manifold. If the closure of the complex subtorus is a smooth complex submanifold in the toric manifold, then the subtorus action on such submanifold is Hamiltonian. In this case, we may…
Kennard, Khalili Samani, and Searle showed that for a $\mathbb{Z}_2$-torus acting on a closed, positively curved Riemannian $n$-manifold, $M^{n}$, with a non-empty fixed point set for $n$ large enough and $r$ approximately half the…
In this work, we revisit quasi-Sasakian geometry in dimension three and examine how these structures interact with the foliation generated by the Reeb vector field and its basic cohomology. Through a deformation-based approach, we show that…
We associate a root system to a finite set in a free abelian group and prove that its irreducible subsystem is of type A, B or D. We apply this general result to a torus manifold, where a torus manifold is a $2n$-dimensional connected…
We obtain a correspondence between the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of a 4-dimensional real torus and the vanishing locus of a certain hyperK\"ahler moment map. This observation gives rise to a new flow, called the modified moment…
We consider symplectic manifolds with Hamiltonian torus actions which are "almost but not quite completely integrable": the dimension of the torus is one less than half the dimension of the manifold. We provide a complete set of invariants…
