We introduce the notion of a topological symmetry as a quantum mechanical symmetry involving a certain topological invariant. We obtain the underlying algebraic structure of the Z_2-graded uniform topological symmetries of type (1,1) and…
We study a topological obstruction of a very stringy nature concerned with deforming the target space of an $N=2$ non-linear \sm. This target space has a singularity which may be smoothed away according to the conventional rules of geometry…
A systematic study of the contributions at infinity for the cohomology of variations of polarized Hodge structures over quasicompact K\"ahler manifolds. Several isomorphisms between different cohomologies given.
Persistent homology enables fast and computable comparison of topological objects. However, it is naturally limited to the analysis of topological spaces. We extend the theory of persistence, by guaranteeing robustness and computability to…
For isolated complex hypersurface singularities with real defining equation we show the existence of a monodromy vector field such that complex conjugation intertwines the local monodromy diffeomorphism with its inverse. In particular, it…
We develop a theory of umkehr maps for twisted generalized homology theories. In this theory, interesting umkehr maps, including generalizations of important classical ones, are induced by cartesian morphisms of a certain category opfibred…
We define and study the invariance properties of homological units. Some applications are given to the derived invariance of Hodge numbers. In particular, we prove that if X and Y are derived equivalent smooth projective varieties of…
In this expository article, we outline the theory of harmonic differential forms and its consequences. We provide self-contained proofs of the following important results in differential geometry: (1) Hodge theorem, which states that for a…
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…
The Hodge conjecture is shown to be equivalent to a question about the homology of very ample divisors with ordinary double point singularities. The infinitesimal version of the result is also discussed.
Links of singularity and generalized algebraic links are ways of constructing three-manifolds and smooth links inside them from potentially singular complex algebraic surfaces and complex curves inside them. We prove that knot lattice…
We present an Eilenberg-Steenrod-like axiomatic framework for equivariant coarse homology and cohomology theories. We also discuss a general construction of such coarse theories from topological ones and the associated transgression maps. A…
We introduce a new spectral sequence for the study of $\mathcal{K}$-manifolds which arises by restricting the spectral sequence of a Riemannian foliation to forms invariant under the flows of $\{\xi_1,...,\xi_s\}$. We use this sequence to…
We study the representation theory of the fundamental group of the complement of a Hopf link with n twists. A general framework is described to analyze the $SL_r(C)$-representation varieties of these twisted Hopf links as byproduct of a…
Exact string solutions are presented, providing backgrounds where a dynamical change of topology is occuring. This is induced by the time variation of a modulus field. Some lessons are drawn concerning the region of validity of effective…
The classification of electron systems according to their topology has been at the forefront of condensed matter research in recent years. It has been found that systems of the same symmetry, previously thought of as equivalent, may in fact…
This article presents some computations for a new topological invariant for foliations introduced some years ago by the author using techniques from noncommutative geometry, in particular the pairing between K-Theory and cyclic cohomology.…
We study in this paper three natural notions of convergence of homogeneous manifolds, namely infinitesimal, local and pointed, and their relationship with a fourth one, which only takes into account the underlying algebraic structure of the…
For any subfield K of the complex numbers which is not contained in an imaginary quadratic number field, we construct conjugate varieties whose algebras of K-rational (p,p)-classes are not isomorphic. This compares to the Hodge conjecture…
In this paper we develop a theory for constructing an invariant of closed oriented 3-manifolds, given a certain type of Hopf algebra. Examples are given by a quantised enveloping algebra of a semisimple Lie algebra, or by a semisimple…
