String theory has already motivated, suggested, and sometimes well-nigh proved a number of interesting and sometimes unexpected mathematical results, such as mirror symmetry. A careful examination of the behavior of string propagation on…
The string equations of motion for some homogeneous (Kantowski-Sachs, Bianchi I and Bianchi IX) background spacetimes are given, and solved explicitly in some simple cases. This is motivated by the recent developments in string cosmology,…
We describe exact cosmological solutions with rotation and expansion in the low-energy effective string theory. These models are spatially homogeneous (closed Bianchi type IX) and they belong to the family of shear-free metrics which are…
Assume that all spaces and maps are localised at a fixed prime $p$. We study the possibility of generating a universal space $U(X)$ from a space $X$ which is universal in the category of homotopy associative, homotopy commutative H-spaces…
For complex parallelisable manifolds $\Gamma\backslash G$, with $G$ a solvable or semisimple complex Lie group, the Fr\"olicher spectral sequence degenerates at the second page. In the solvable case, the de-Rham cohomology carries a pure…
We study cosmic strings in the complex symmetron model, a scalar-tensor theory with a spontaneously broken local $U(1)$ symmetry in low matter density regions. Using numerical simulations, we show that these strings preferentially attach to…
We propose a Hodge theory for the spaces $E_2^{p,\,q}$ featuring at the second step either in the Fr\"olicher spectral sequence of an arbitrary compact complex manifold $X$ or in the spectral sequence associated with a pair $(N,\,F)$ of…
We consider "Hopfological" techniques as in \cite{Ko} but for infinite dimensional Hopf algebras, under the assumption of being co-Frobenius. In particular, $H=k[{\mathbb Z}]\#k[x]/x^2$ is the first example, whose corepresentations category…
In this note, we consider the Lyndon--Hochschild--Serre spectral sequence corresponding to the first Frobenius kernel of an algebraic group G, computing the extensions between simple $G$-modules. We state and discuss a conjecture that…
A careful treatment of closed string BRST cohomology shows that there are more discrete states and associated symmetries in $D=2$ string theory than has been recognized hitherto. The full structure, at the $SU(2)$ radius, has a natural…
Consider the semi-direct product Z^n rtimes Z/m. A conjecture of Adem-Ge-Pan-Petrosyan predicts that the associated Lyndon-Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence collapses. We prove this conjecture provided that the Z/m-action on Z^n is free…
The $2$-primary Hopf invariant $1$ elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres form the most accessible family of elements. In this paper we explore some properties of the $\mathcal{E}_\infty$ ring spectra obtained from certain…
In the correspondence between spectral problems and topological strings, it is natural to consider complex values for the string theory moduli. In the spectral theory side, this corresponds to non-Hermitian quantum curves with complex…
We compute the smooth Poisson cohomology of the linear Poisson structure associated with the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{sl}_2^*(\mathbb{R})$.
We use the action of the Bockstein homomorphism on the cohomology ring $H^*(X,\mathbb{Z}_2)$ of a finite-type CW-complex $X$ in order to define the resonance varieties of $X$ in characteristic 2. Much of the theory is done in the more…
We construct a bigraded spectral sequence from the gl(0)-homology to knot Floer homology. This spectral sequence is of Bockstein type and comes from a subtle manipulation of coefficients. The main tools are quantum traces of foams and of…
We compute the equivariant homology and cohomology of projective spaces with integer coefficients. More precisely, in the case of cyclic groups, we show that the cellular filtration of the projective space $P(k\rho )$, of lines inside…
Using methods originating in the theory of intersection spaces, specifically a de Rham type description of the real cohomology of these spaces by a complex of global differential forms, we show that the Leray-Serre spectral sequence with…
We construct a spectral sequence converging to the cohomology with compact support of the m-th contact locus of a complex polynomial. The first page is explicitly described in terms of a log resolution and coincides with the first page of…
Restricted twisted Heisenberg Lie superalgebras are studied over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p > 0. We determine the restricted structures and use the ordinary 1- and 2-cohomology spaces with trivial coefficients to…
