We clarify the conformal invariance of the Pontrjagin forms by giving them a manifestly conformally invariant construction; they are shown to be the Pontrjagin forms of the conformally invariant tractor connection. The Q-curvature is…

The localization tensor is a measure of distinguishability between insulators and metals. This tensor is related to the quantum metric tensor associated with the occupied bands in momentum space. In two dimensions and in the thermodynamic…

Let $(M^4,g)$ be a smooth, closed, oriented anti-self-dual (ASD) four-manifold. $(M^4,g)$ is said to be unobstructed if the cokernel of the linearization of the self-dual Weyl tensor is trivial. This condition can also be characterized as…

On a (pseudo-) Riemannian manifold of dimension n > 2, the space of tensors which transform covariantly under Weyl rescalings of the metric is built. This construction is related to a Weyl-covariant operator D whose commutator [D,D] gives…

A closed 1-form $\Theta$ on a manifold induces a perturbation $d_\Theta$ of the de~Rham complex. This perturbation was originally introduced Witten for exact $\Theta$, and later extended by Novikov to the case of arbitrary closed $\Theta$.…
