We introduce (co)homology theory for multiple group racks and construct cocycle invariants of compact oriented surfaces in the 3-sphere using their 2-cocycles, where a multiple group rack is a rack consisting of a disjoint union of groups.…
We introduce a new topological invariant of a rigidly-compactly generated tensor-triangulated category and two new notions of support. The first is based on smashing subcategories: it is unknown whether the frame of smashing subcategories…
The combinatorial approach to knot theory treats knots as diagrams modulo Reidemeister moves. Many constructions of knot invariants (e.g., index polynomials, quandle colorings, etc.) use elements of diagrams such as arcs and crossings by…
In this paper we introduce a new kind of topological space, called 'structured space', which locally resembles various kinds of algebraic structures. This can be useful, for instance, to locally study a space that cannot be globally endowed…
We classify the homotopy classes of proper Fredholm maps from an infinite dimensional Hilbert manifold into its model space in terms of a suitable version of framed cobordism. Our construction is an alternative approach to the…
The motivation of this work is to define cohomology classes in the space of knots that are both easy to find and to evaluate, by reducing the problem to simple linear algebra. We achieve this goal by defining a combinatorial graded cochain…
In [1] we defined a new kind of space called 'structured space' which locally resembles, near each of its points, some algebraic structure. We noted in the conclusion of the cited paper that the maps $f_s$ and $h$, which are of great…
The classification problem for principal fibre bundles over two-dimensional CW-complexes is considered. Using the Postnikov factorization for the base space of a universal bundle a Puppe sequence that gives an implicit solution for the…
Scheme-theoretic methods are used to classify ternary quadratic forms with values in line bundles over arbitrary schemes and to canonically determine the isomorphisms between them. The association of a quadratic bundle to its even Clifford…
In this paper we consider the K-theory of smooth algebraic stacks, establish lambda and gamma operations, and show that the higher K-theory of such stacks is always a pre-lambda-ring, and is a lambda-ring if every coherent sheaf is the…
We develop the theory of arrangements of spheres. Consider a finite collection of codimension-$1$ subspheres in a positive-dimensional sphere. There are two posets associated with this collection: the poset of faces and the poset of…
In order to classify concordance classes of codimension 2 embeddings in a manifold M, we need to determine the complement of such an embedding. These complements are spaces over M well defined up to some homology equivalence. We construct a…
This study first provides a brief overview of the structure of typical Grassmann manifolds. Then a new type of supergrassmannians is construced using an odd involution in a super ringed space and by gluing superdomains together. Next,…
A connection-like objects, termed {\em hom-connections} are defined in the realm of non-commutative geometry. The definition is based on the use of homomorphisms rather than tensor products. It is shown that hom-connections arise naturally…
Duistermaat introduced the concept of ``real locus'' of a Hamiltonian manifold. In that and in others' subsequent works, it has been shown that many of the techniques developed in the symplectic category can be used to study real loci, so…
We give a fresh introduction to the Khovanov Homology theory for knots and links, with special emphasis on its extension to tangles, cobordisms and 2-knots. By staying within a world of topological pictures a little longer than in other…
This paper considers the moduli spaces/stacks of parabolic bundles (parabolic logarithmic flat bundles and parabolic logarithmic Higgs bundles with given spectrum) of rank 2 and degree 1 over $\mathbb{P}^1$ with five marked points. The…
This is the second paper in a series on enumerative invariants counting self-dual objects in self-dual categories, and is a sequal to (arXiv:2302.00038). Ordinary enumerative invariants in abelian categories can be seen as invariants for…
We define the Chow ring of the classifying space of a linear algebraic group. In all the examples where we can compute it, such as the symmetric groups and the orthogonal groups, it is isomorphic to a natural quotient of the complex…
In this article, we introduce rack invariants of oriented Legendrian knots in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space endowed with the standard contact structure, which we call Legendrian racks. These invariants form a generalization of the…
