Analytical tools to $K$-theory; namely, self-stabilization of rapidly decreasing matrices, linearization of cyclic loops, and the contractibility of the pointed stable Toeplitz algebra are discussed in terms of concrete formulas. Adaptation…

We study the effects of having multiple Spin structures on the partition function of the spacetime fields in M-theory. This leads to a potential anomaly which appears in the eta-invariants upon variation of the Spin structure. The main…

We give several versions of Siu's $\partial\bar{\partial}$-formula for maps from a strictly pseudoconvex pseudo-Hermitian manifold $(M^{2m+1}, \theta)$ into a K\"ahler manifold $(N^n, g)$. We also define and study the notion of…

The "fundamental theorem" for algebraic $K$-theory expresses the $K$-groups of a Laurent polynomial ring $L[t,t^{-1}]$ as a direct sum of two copies of the $K$-groups of $L$ (with a degree shift in one copy), and certain "nil" groups of…

We review the notions of a multiplier category and the $W^{*}$-envelope of a $C^{*}$-category. We then consider the notion of an orthogonal sum of a (possibly infinite) family of objects in a $C^{*}$-category. Furthermore, we construct…

In this article, we consider perturbations of isometries on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$. We investigate the smooth (resp. analytic) rigidity phenomenon of groups of these isometries. As a particular case, we prove that if a finite…

In this paper, we extend Gang Liu's three circle theorem for K\"ahler manifolds to almost Hermitian manifolds. As applications of the three circle theorem, we obtain sharp dimension estimates for spaces of holomorphic functions of…

We give a rigorous account and prove continuity properties for the correspondence between almost flat bundles on a triangularizable compact connected space and the quasi-representations of its fundamental group. For a discrete countable…

We obtain a bi-Lipschitz rigidity theorem for a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a connected simple real algebraic group. As an application, we show that any Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a higher rank semisimple algebraic group $G$…

In this paper we introduce and study the so-called continuous $K$-theory for a certain class of "large" stable $\infty$-categories, more precisely, for dualizable presentable categories. For compactly generated categories, the continuous…

We prove two rigidity results on holomorphic isometries into homogeneous K\"{a}hler manifolds. The first shows that a K\"{a}hler-Ricci soliton induced by the homogeneous metric of the K\"{a}hler product of a special flag manifold (i.e. a…

We establish connections between the concepts of Noetherian, regular coherent, and regular n-coherent categories for Z-linear categories with finitely many objects and the corresponding notions for unital rings. These connections enable us…

The duality between $E_8\times E_8$ heteritic string on manifold $K3\times T^2$ and Type IIA string compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold induces a correspondence between vector bundles on $K3\times T^2$ and Calabi-Yau manifolds. Vector…

We provide two new proofs of a theorem of Cooper, Long and Reid which asserts that, apart from an explicit finite list of exceptional manifolds, any compact orientable irreducible 3-manifold with non-empty boundary has large fundamental…

We study twisted $Spin^c$-manifolds over a paracompact Hausdorff space $X$ with a twisting $\alpha: X \to K(\ZZ, 3)$. We introduce the topological index and the analytical index on the bordism group of $\alpha$-twisted $Spin^c$-manifolds…

It is, by now, classical that lattices in higher rank semisimple groups have various rigidity properties. In this work, we add another such rigidity property to the list: uniform stability with respect to the family of unitary operators on…

In this paper, we give some extensions of K\"onig's extension of the Mazur-Orlicz theorem. These extensions include generalizations of a surprising recent result of Sun Chuanfeng, and generalizations to the product of more than two spaces…

We establish a new criterion for a compatible almost complex structure on a symplectic four-manifold to be integrable and hence K\"ahler. Our main theorem shows that the existence of three linearly independent closed J-anti-invariant…

In this article, we study the $L^{2}$-harmonic forms on the complete $2n$-dimensional almost K\"{a}her manifold $X$. We observe that the $L^{2}$-harmonic forms can decomposition into Lefschetz powers of primitive forms. Therefore we can…

We study M-theory on two classes of manifolds of Spin(7) holonomy that are developing an isolated conical singularity. We construct explicitly a new class of Spin(7) manifolds and analyse in detail the topology of the corresponding…
