This article is devoted to the investigation of the deformation (twisting) of monoidal structures, such as the associativity constraint of the monoidal category and the monoidal structure of monoidal functor. The sets of twistings have a…

We compare the higher analytic torsion of Bismut and Lott of a fibre bundle p: M -> B equipped with a flat vector bundle F -> M and a fibre-wise Morse function h on M with a higher torsion T that is constructed in terms of a families…

This is a study of twisted K-theory on a product space $T \times M$. The twisting comes from a decomposable cup product class which applies the 1-cohomology of $T$ and the 2-cohomology of $M$. In the case of a topological product, we give a…

Let $K$ be a finite group and let $G$ be a finite group acting on $K$ by automorphisms. In this paper we study two different but intimately related subjects: on the one side we classify all possible multiplicative and associative structures…

For the associative algebra $A(\mathfrak g)$ of an infinite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, we introduce twisted fiber bundles over arbitrary compact topological spaces. Fibers of such bundles are given by elements of algebraic…

We find the general solution to the twisting equation in the tensor bialgebra $T({\bf R})$ of an associative unital ring ${\bf R}$ viewed as that of fundamental representation for a universal enveloping Lie algebra and its quantum…

We prove a twisting theorem for nodal classes in permutation-equivariant quantum $K$-theory, and combine it with existing theorems of Givental to obtain a twisting result for general characteristic classes of the virtual tangent bundle.…

A variant of the topological twist, involving SL(2,Z) dualities and hence named topological duality twist, is introduced and explicitly applied to describe a U(1) N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on a Kaehler space with holomorphically…

This article is devoted to the investigation of wrap groups of connected fiber bundles over the fields of real $\bf R$, complex $\bf C$ numbers, the quaternion skew field $\bf H$ and the octonion algebra $\bf O$. Cohomologies of wrap groups…

We prove several new results about the topology of fibers of Gelfand--Zeitlin systems on unitary and orthogonal coadjoint orbits, at the same time finding a unifying framework recovering and shedding light on essentially all known results.…

On smooth projective varieties of dimension $d$, $d$-tilting bundles are important in both geometry and representation theory, since they provide a bridge from the geometry of such varieties to the derived McKay correspondence and to higher…

We review the Reidemeister torsion, Ray-Singer's analytic torsion and the Cheeger-M"uller theorem. We describe the analytic torsion of the de Rham complex twisted by a flux form introduced by the current authors and recall its properties.…

Twisted assemblies of filaments in ropes, cables and bundles are essential structural elements in wide use in macroscopic materials as well as within the cells and tissues of living organisms. We develop the unique, non-linear elastic…

Fractional Dehn twists give a measure of the difference between the relative isotopy class of a homeomorphism of a bordered surface and the Thurston representative of its free isotopy class. We show how to estimate and compute these…

We define analytic torsion of Z_2-graded elliptic complexes as an element in the graded determinant line of the cohomology of the complex, generalizing most of the variants of Ray-Singer analytic torsion in the literature. It applies to a…

We construct a canonical element, called the refined analytic torsion, of the determinant line of the cohomology of a closed oriented odd-dimensional manifold M with coefficients in a flat complex vector bundle E. We compute the Ray-Singer…

(3+1)D topological phases of matter can host a broad class of non-trivial topological defects of codimension-1, 2, and 3, of which the well-known point charges and flux loops are special cases. The complete algebraic structure of these…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of Reidemeister torsion for quasi-isomorphisms of based chain complexes over a field. We call a chain map a quasi-isomorphism if its induced homomorphism between homology is an isomorphism. Our notion…

Twisted separable functors generalize the separable functors of Nastasescu, Van den Bergh and Van Oystaeyen, and provide a convenient tool to compare various projective dimensions. We discuss when an adjoint functor is twisted separable,…

We establish that a category of fibrant objects (in the sense of Brown) admits a Dwyer-Kan homotopical calculus of right fractions. This is done using a homotopical calculus of cocycles, which is an auxiliary structure that can be defined…
