In this article, we develop a systematic cohomological framework for the study of the rigidity of nilpotent Lie foliations with respect to solvable deformations. We introduce the deformation complex associated to a pair of Lie algebras…

We develop a new method for constructing $3d$ $\mathcal{N}=4$ Coulomb branch chiral rings in terms of gauge-invariant generators and relations while making the global symmetry manifest. Our examples generalise to all balanced quivers of…

The aim of this article is to apply a Floer theory to study symmetric periodic Reeb orbits. We define positive equivariant wrapped Floer homology using a (anti-)symplectic involution on a Liouville domain and investigate its algebraic…

Quantum invariants like the colored Jones polynomial are algebraic in nature but are conjectured to detect important information about the geometry of links. In this thesis we explore these connections using an enhanced version of the RT…

Let $G$ be a simply connected algebraic group of type $B,C$ or $D$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. We construct a Springer correspondence for the dual vector space of the Lie algebra of $G$. In particular, we…

This note contains two remarks about the application of the d-invariant in Heegaard Floer homology and Donaldson's diagonalization theorem to knot theory. The first is the equivalence of two obstructions they give to a 2-bridge knot being…

A geometric argument is given to prove that the Seifert genus of a positive knot equals its slice genus. A combinatorial invariant, giving a lower bound for the slice genus, is formulated for arbitrary knots. Properties and applications of…

We describe the construction of an $\mathcal{A}_\infty$ multi-module in terms of counts of holomorphic polygons in a series Heegaard multi-diagrams. We show that this is quasi-isomorphic to the type-A bordered-sutured invariant of a link…

Starting from a Heegaard splitting of a three-manifold, we use Lagrangian Floer homology to construct a three-manifold invariant, in the form of a relatively Z/8-graded abelian group. Our motivation is to have a well-defined symplectic side…

The aim of this article is to introduce and study certain topological invariants for closed, oriented three-manifolds Y. These groups are relatively Z-graded Abelian groups associated to SpinC structures over Y. Given a genus g Heegaard…

We give a purely combinatorial proof of a K\"{u}nneth formula for the minus version of knot Floer homology of connected sums by constructing a quasi-isomorphism of grid chain complexes. The quasi-isomorphism naturally deduces that the…

We consider the affine variety ${\mathcal{Z}_{2,2}^{m,n}}$ (or just "$Y$") of first order jets over ${\mathcal{Z}_{2}^{m,n}}$ (or just "$X$"), where $X$ is the classical determinantal variety given by the vanishing of all $2\times 2$ minors…

When $\mathfrak h$ is a toral subalgebra of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ over a field $\mathbf k$, and $M$ a $\mathfrak g$-module on which $\mathfrak h$ also acts torally, the Hochschild-Serre filtration of the Chevalley-Eilenberg cochain…

In this paper we describe geometry of orbits of upper triangular matrices of nilpotent order 2 under conjugation by the group of upper triangular invertible matrices in terms of link patterns. Further we apply this description to the…

We classify the nilpotent orbits in a simple Lie algebra for which the restriction of the adjoint quotient map to a Slodowy slice is the universal Poisson deformation of its central fibre. This generalises work of Brieskorn and Slodowy on…

In this paper, we give a description of the cohomology groups of the symmetric powers of the tautological bundle associated with a sufficiently positive line bundle on the Hilbert scheme of 2 or 3 points on a smooth projective complex…

We prove that the local intersection cohomology of nilpotent orbit closures of cyclic quivers is trivial when the two orbits involved correspond to partitions with at most two rows. This gives a geometric proof of a result of Graham and…

We use monopole Floer homology for sutured manifolds to construct invariants of Legendrian knots in a contact 3-manifold. These invariants assign to a knot K in Y elements of the monopole knot homology KHM(-Y,K), and they strongly resemble…

The condition of nilpotency is studied in the general linear Lie algebra $\mathfrak{gl}_{n}(\mathbb{K})$ and the symplectic Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sp}_{2m}(\mathbb{K})$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. In particular,…

We relate the geometry of Schubert varieties in twisted affine Grassmannian and the nilpotent varieties in symmetric spaces. This extends some results of Achar-Henderson in the twisted setting. We also get some applications to the geometry…
