Twisted multilayers of two-dimensional (2D) materials are an increasingly important platform for investigating quantum phases of matter, and in particular, strongly correlated electrons. The moir\'e pattern introduced by the relative twist…
We develop a theory of abstract arithmetic Chow rings where the role of the fibers at infinity is played by a complex of abelian groups that computes a suitable cohomology theory. This theory allows the construction of many variants of the…
In this paper we extend Badzioch's, Dorabiala's, and Williams' definition of cohomological higher smooth torsion to a twisted cohomological higher torsion invariant. Additionally, we show that this still satisfies geometric additivity and…
The interplay of twist and strain in bilayer graphene enables the formation of moir\'e patterns and narrow bands that host correlated and topological phases. While magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene has been widely studied, strain…
A twisted quiver bundle is a set of holomorphic vector bundles over a complex manifold, labelled by the vertices of a quiver, linked by a set of morphisms twisted by a fixed collection of holomorphic vector bundles, labelled by the arrows.…
The aim of this talk is to explain how symmetry breaking in a quantum field theory problem leads to a study of projective bundles, Dixmier-Douady classes, and associated gerbes. A gerbe manifests itself in different equivalent ways. Besides…
In this paper, we consider a generalization of the theory of Higgs bundles over a smooth complex projective curve in which the twisting of the Higgs field by the canonical bundle of the curve is replaced by a rank 2 vector bundle. We define…
We investigate a simplified continuum model of a twisted homotrilayer TMD with negligible next-nearest layer couplings. We systematically analyze band structure and topology of various stacking configurations in a twist angle range from…
This paper extends the geometric mechanics theory of constraint systems on principal bundles from the flat connection case to the general situation with non-zero curvature. Based on the theoretical foundation of compatible pairs under…
Complexification, from real connective K-theory to complex connective K-theory, sits in a well-known cofiber sequence between multiplication by eta and a map related to realification. We show how this cofiber sequence factors as one goes up…
We show that variants of the classical reflection functors from quiver representation theory exist in any abstract stable homotopy theory, making them available for example over arbitrary ground rings, for quasi-coherent modules on schemes,…
Let $Y_-$ and $Y_+$ be two compact 3-manifolds with empty or toroidal boundary. A 4-dimensional ribbon homology cobordism is a homologically trivial cobordism built with 1-handles and 2-handles. In this note, following the work of Friedl…
With various jet orders $k$ and weights $n$, let $E_{k,n}^{\rm GG}$ be the Green-Griffiths bundles over the projective space $\mathbb{P}^N (\mathbb{C})$. Denote by $\mathcal{O} (d)$ the tautological line bundle over $\mathbb{P}^N…
Twisted two-dimensional (2D) layered materials exhibit many novel and unique phenomena, such as insulation and superconductivity transition, and superlubricity. However, the effect of twisting on these phenomena remains unclear. A key…
Consider a local chain Differential Graded algebra, such as the singular chain complex of a pathwise connected topological group. In two previous papers, a number of homological results were proved for such an algebra: An Amplitude…
Non-commutative torsors (equivalently, two-cocycles) for a Hopf algebra can be used to twist comodule algebras. After surveying and extending the literature on the subject, we prove a theorem that affords a presentation by generators and…
We describe a bordered version of totally twisted Khovanov homology. We first twist Roberts's type $D$ structure by adding a "vertical" type $D$ structure which generalizes the vertical map in twisted tangle homology. One of the distinct…
Given a bundle of chain complexes, the algebra of functions on its shifted cotangent bundle has a natural structure of a shifted Poisson algebra. We show that if two such bundles are homotopy equivalent, the corresponding Poisson algebras…
In this paper, we develop twisted $K$-theory for stacks, where the twisted class is given by an $S^1$-gerbe over the stack. General properties, including the Mayer-Vietoris property, Bott periodicity, and the product structure $K^i_\alpha…
John C.Baez reinterpreted 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional topological quantum field theories (abbreviated as 2-TQFT and 3-TQFT) in "A prehistory of n-categorical physics"[JC11]. Inspired by his idea, this paper utilizes cochains to prove…
