By extending the notion of simple type for the Seiberg--Witten invariant of a 4-manifold, we introduce notions of BF blowup simple type and BF homogeneous type for the Bauer--Furuta invariant and study their applications. Specifically, we…

We study the monopole contribution to the refined Vafa-Witten invariant, recently defined by Maulik and Thomas [13]. We apply results of Gholampour and Thomas [7] to prove a universality result for the generating series of contributions of…

We derive a gauge theoretic invariant of integral homology 3-spheres which counts gauge orbits of irreducible, perturbed flat SU(3) connections with sign given by spectral flow. To compensate for the dependence of this sum on perturbations,…

We show that the bar version of the $\mathrm{Pin}(2)$-monopole Floer homology of a three-manifold $Y$ equipped with a self-conjugate spin$^c$ structure $\mathfrak{s}$ is determined by the triple cup product of $Y$ together with the Rokhlin…

Refined BPS indices give rise to a quantum Riemann-Hilbert problem that is inherently related to a non-commutative deformation of moduli spaces arising in gauge and string theory compactifications. We reformulate this problem in terms of a…

We apply the supplementation trick [26] to the Green-Schwarz superstring. For type IIB theory both first and second class constraints are covariantly separated and then arranged into irreducible sets in the initial formulation. For N=1…

We construct a stable homotopy refinement of quantum annular homology, a link homology theory introduced by Beliakova, Putyra and Wehrli. For each $r\geq 2$ we associate to an annular link $L$ a naive $\mathbb{Z}/r\mathbb{Z}$-equivariant…

We explore the theory of connected Gromov-Witten invariants of the symmetric product stack [Sym^n(A_r)]. We derive closed-form expressions for all equivariant invariants with two insertions and reveal a natural correspondence between the…

To a pair $(A,s)$ consisting of a smooth, cyclic $A_\infty$-algebra $A$ and a splitting $s$ of the Hodge filtration on its Hochschild homology Costello (2005) associates an invariant which conjecturally generalizes the total descendant…

In this paper we refine our recently constructed invariants of $4$-dimensional $2$-handlebodies up to $2$-deformations. More precisely, we define invariants of pairs of the form $(W,\omega)$, where $W$ is a $4$-dimensional $2$-handlebody,…

Kronheimer and Mrowka defined invariants of balanced sutured manifolds using monopole and instanton Floer homology. Their invariants assign isomorphism classes of modules to balanced sutured manifolds. In this paper, we introduce…

We describe the extent to which Ionel-Parker's proposed refinement of the standard relative Gromov-Witten invariants sharpens the usual symplectic sum formula. The key product operation on the target spaces for the refined invariants is…

We propose a new class of filtered vector bundles, which is related to variation of (mixed) Hodge structures and give a slight generalization of the Fujita--Zucker--Kawamata semipositivity theorem.

We study the refinement invariance of several intersection (co)homologies existing in the literature. These (co)homologies have been introduced in order to establish the Poincar\'e Duality in variousl contexts. We found the classical…

Motivated by suggestions of Paolo Cotta-Ramusino's work at the physical level of rigor relating BF theory to the Donaldson polynomials, we provide a construction applicable to the Turaev/Viro and Crane/Yetter invariants of *a priori* finer…

We show that for a rational homology 3-sphere $Y$ equipped with a self-conjugate spin$^c$-structure $\mathfrak s$, the $\operatorname{Pin}(2)$-equivariant monopole Floer homology of $(Y,\mathfrak s)$, as defined by Lin, is isomorphic to the…

We determine the local equivalence class of the Seiberg-Witten Floer stable homotopy type of a spin rational homology 3-sphere $Y$ embedded into a spin rational homology $S^{1} \times S^{3}$ with a positive scalar curvature metric so that…

We introduce a variant of stable logarithmic maps, which we call punctured logarithmic maps. They allow an extension of logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory in which marked points have a negative order of tangency with boundary divisors. As a…

We formulate the Asymptotic Expansion Conjecture for the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev quantum invariants of closed oriented three manifolds. For finite order mapping tori, we study these quantum invariants via the geometric gauge theory…

Using the Seiberg-Witten monopole equations, Baraglia recently proved that for most of simply-connected closed smooth $4$-manifolds $X$, the inclusions $\mathrm{Diff}(X) \hookrightarrow \mathrm{Homeo}(X)$ are not weak homotopy equivalences.…
