We prove the existence of non-trivial irreducible SU(2)-monopoles with Dirac singularities on any rational homology 3-sphere, equipped with any Riemannian metric, using a gluing construction.
The electronic spectrum on the spherical surface of a topological insulator reflects an active property of the helical surface state that stems from a constraint on its spin on a curved surface. The induced effective vector potential (spin…
Using the idea of the degree of a smooth mapping between two manifolds of the same dimension we present here the topological (homotopical) classification of the mappings between spheres of the same dimension, vector fields, monopole and…
We develop a general strategy, based on gauge theoretical methods, to prove existence of curves on class VII surfaces. We prove that, for $b_2=2$, every minimal class VII surface has a cycle of rational curves hence, by a result of…
We obtain solutions of Einstein's equations describing gravitational field outside a noncanonical global monopole with cosmological constant. In particular, we consider two models of k-monopoles: the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) and the…
We show that any two left-invariant metrics on $S^3\cong\operatorname{SU}(2)$ which are isospectral for the associated classical Dirac operator $D$ must be isometric. In the case of left-invariant metrics of positive scalar curvature, we…
It has recently been shown that in every spatial dimension there exist precisely five distinct classes of topological insulators or superconductors. Within a given class, the different topological sectors can be distinguished, depending on…
We continue the analysis of the Modular Isomorphism Problem for $2$-generated $p$-groups with cyclic derived subgroup, $p>2$, started in [D. Garc\'ia-Lucas, \'A. del R\'io, and M. Stanojkovski. On group invariants determined by modular…
It is well known that a vector potential cannot be defined over the whole surface of a sphere around a magnetic monopole. A recent claim to the contrary is shown to have problems. It is explained however that a potential of the proposed…
We present the exhaustive classification of surface states of topological insulators and superconductors protected by crystallographic magnetic point group symmetry in three spatial dimensions. Recently, Cornfeld and Chapman [Phys. Rev. B…
We consider special geometry of the vector multiplet moduli space in compactifications of the heterotic string on $K3 \times T^2$ or the type IIA string on $K3$-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds. In particular, we construct a modified dilaton…
We construct an obstruction for the existence of embeddings of homology $3$-sphere into homology $S^3\times S^1$ under some cohomological condition. The obstruction is defined as an element in the filtered version of the instanton Floer…
We construct a scalar invariant of flat principal 2-bundles over 3-manifolds, with structure 2-group $\mathcal{G}$, from an involutory Hopf algebra graded by $\mathcal{G}$. Expressing $\mathcal{G}$ in terms of a crossed module $\chi$ and…
We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…
Making use of ansatzs for the form fields in the 10d type IIA supergravity version of the ABJM model, we come with a solution in the Euclidean signature recognized as a monopole instanton-like object. Indeed we will see that we can have a…
In this article, we review the recent progress in the study of topological phases in systems with space-time inversion symmetry $I_{\text{ST}}$. $I_{\text{ST}}$ is an anti-unitary symmetry which is local in momentum space and satisfies…
We classify GL(2,R) invariant point markings over components of strata of Abelian differentials. Such point markings exist only when the component is hyperelliptic and arise from marking Weierstrass points or two points exchanged by the…
Brittin and Gamow have used quantum theory to predict that sunlight lowers the entropy level at the earth's surface, apparently contrary to the second law of thermodynamics. We have found that this requires new physics to explain it.…
We exhaustively classify topological equivariant complex vector bundles over two-sphere under a compact Lie group (not necessarily effective) action. It is shown that inequivariant Chern classes and isotropy representations at (at most)…
Associated to a convex integral polygon $N$ in the plane are two integrable systems: the cluster integrable system of Goncharov and Kenyon, constructed from the dimer model on bipartite torus graphs, and the Beauville integrable system…
