We introduce the notion of a $\theta$-almost twisted Poisson structure on manifolds, which involves incorporating a closed $1$-form $\theta$ into twisted Poisson structures under specific conditions. We provide a characterization of this…
We study a class of torsion-free sheaves on complex projective spaces which generalize the much studied mathematical instanton bundles. Instanton sheaves can be obtained as cohomologies of linear monads and are shown to be semistable if its…
For Morse-Smale pairs on a smooth, closed manifold the Morse-Smale-Witten chain complex can be defined. The associated Morse homology is isomorphic to the singular homology of the manifold and yields the classical Morse relations for Morse…
We show that the cohomology of the Regge complex in three dimensions is isomorphic to $\mathcal{H}^{{\scriptscriptstyle \bullet}}_{dR}(\Omega)\otimes\mathcal{RM}$, the infinitesimal-rigid-body-motion-valued de~Rham cohomology. Based on an…
Given a compact manifold with a non-empty boundary and equipped with a generic Morse function (that is, no critical point on the boundary and the restriction to the boundary is a Morse function), we already knew how to construct two Morse…
On Riemannian signature conformal 4-manifolds we give a conformally invariant extension of the Maxwell operator on 1-forms. We show the extension is in an appropriate sense injectively elliptic, and recovers the invariant gauge operator of…
In this paper we use the gradient flow equation introduced in [10] to construct a Morse complex for the Hamiltonian action $\mathbb A_H$ on a mixed regularity space of loops in the cotangent bundle $T^*M$ of a closed manifold $M$.…
We present a general procedure to construct 6-dimensional manifolds with SU(3)-structure from SU(2)-structure 5-manifolds. We thereby obtain half-flat cylinders and sine-cones over 5-manifolds with Sasaki-Einstein SU(2)-structure. They are…
We prove the existence of a smoothing for a toroidal crossing space under mild assumptions. By linking log structures with infinitesimal deformations, the result receives a very compact form for normal crossing spaces. The main approach is…
In this paper, we construct cochain complexes generated by the cohomology of critical manifolds in the abstract setup of flow categories for Morse-Bott theories under minimum transversality assumptions. We discuss the relations between…
This work is a continuation of our previous paper arXiv:1812.06473 where we have constructed ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on 4D manifolds with a Killing vector field with isolated fixed points. In this work we expand on the…
We use the gauged linear sigma model introduced by Witten to calculate instanton expansions for correlation functions in topological sigma models with target space a toric variety $V$ or a Calabi--Yau hypersurface $M \subset V$. In the…
We develop functoriality for Morse theory, namely, to a pair of Morse-Smale systems and a generic smooth map between the underlying manifolds we associate a chain map between the corresponding Morse complexes, which descends to the correct…
In this paper, we define `simplicial GKM orbifold complexes' and study some of their topological properties. We introduce the concept of filtration of regular graphs and `simplicial graph complexes', which have close relations with…
Let Z_K be the moment angle complex associated to a simplicial complex K, with the canonical torus T-action. In this paper, we prove that, for any possibly disconnected subgroup G of T, G-equivariant cohomology of Z_K over the integer Z is…
We revisit the problem of constructing instantons on ADE orbifolds R^4/\Gamma and point out some subtle relations with the complex structure on the orbifold. We consider generalized instanton equations on R^4/\Gamma which are BPS equations…
Given a contact manifold $M_#$ together with a transversal infinitesimal automorphism $\xi$, we show that any local leaf space $M$ for the foliation determined by $\xi$ naturally carries a conformally symplectic (cs-) structure. Then we…

Instanton calculations in semiclassical quantum mechanics rely on integration along trajectories which solve classical equations of motion. However in systems with higher dimensionality or complexified phase space these are rarely…
We have been interested in understanding the class of 7-dimensional closed and simply-connected manifolds in geometric and constructive ways. We have constructed explicit fold maps, which are higher dimensional versions of Morse functions,…
