We show that if each of $K_1$ and $K_2$ is a trefoil knot or figure eight knot, the homology 3-sphere defined by the Kirby diagram which is a simple link of $K_1$ and $K_2$ with framing (0, n) is represented by an n-twisted Whitehead double…
We compute the mod $2$ homology of the spectrum $\mathrm{tmf}$ of topological modular forms by proving a 2-local equivalence $\mathrm{tmf} \wedge DA(1) \simeq \mathrm{tmf}_1(3) \simeq BP\left \langle 2\right\rangle$, where $DA(1)$ is an…
We provide a new general scheme for the geometric quantisation of $\operatorname{Sp}(1)$-symmetric hyper-K\"ahler manifolds, considering Hilbert spaces of holomorphic sections with respect to the complex structures in the hyper-K\"ahler…
We study the Drinfeld modular curves arising from the Hecke congruence subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_q[T])$. Using a combinatorial method of Gekeler and Nonnengardt, we obtain a genus formula for these curves. In cases when the…
We describe and compute the homotopy of spectra of topological modular forms of level 3. We give some computations related to the "building complex" associated to level 3 structures at the prime 2. Finally, we note the existence of a number…
We extend our recent study of K3 metrics near the $T^4/Z_2$ orbifold locus to the other torus orbifold loci. In particular, we provide several new constructions of K3 surfaces as hyper-K\"ahler quotients, which yield new formulae for K3…
We give an explicit description of the $q$-deformation of symplectic group $SP_{q}(2n)$ at the $C^*$-algebra level and find all irreducible representations of this $C^{*}$-algebra. Further we describe the $C^*$-algebra of the quotient space…
The purpose of this article is to compare the two self-maps of $\Omega^kS^{2n+1}$ given by $\Omega^k[2]$ the $k$-fold looping of a degree 2 map and $\Psi^k(2)$ the H-space squaring map. The main results give that in case $2n+1 \neq 2^j-1$,…
We propose non-supersymmetric analogues of 6d N=2 Type II/heterotic dualities via a quotient of a K3 surface: an Enriques surface. We start from Type~II strings on a K3 surface and construct orbifold theories using an involution of K3. We…
Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime number and let $G = SL_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$. Let $\Xi$ = Spec$(Z)$ denote the spectrum of the centre $Z$ of the pro-$p$ Iwahori Hecke algebra of $G$ with coefficients in a field $k$ of characteristic $p$. Let…
We study the topological structure of the symmetry group of the standard model, $G_{SM}=U(1)\times SU(2)\times SU(3)$. Locally, $G_{SM}\cong S^1\times (S^3)^2\times S^5$. For SU(3), which is an $S^3$ bundle over $S^5$ (and therefore a local…
Let k be an integral domain containing the invertible elements \alpha, s and \frac{1}{s-s^{-1}}. If M is an oriented 3-manifold, let K(M) denote the Kauffman skein module of M over k. Based on the work on Birman-Murakami-Wenzl algebra by…
We study the symplectic geometry of the moduli spaces $M_r=M_r(\s^3)$ of closed n-gons with fixed side-lengths in the 3-sphere. We prove that these moduli spaces have symplectic structures obtained by reduction of the fusion product of $n$…
Borel--Serre proved that for a number ring $R$ with fraction field $K$, the symplectic group $\text{Sp}_{2n}(R)$ is a virtual duality group of degree quadratic in $n$, and that the symplectic Steinberg module $\text{St}^\omega_{2n}(K)$ is…
Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime number. We find all the possible subgroups $G$ of ${\rm GL}_2 ( \mathbb{Z} / p \mathbb{Z} )$ such that there exists a number field $k$ and an elliptic curve ${\mathcal{E}}$ defined over $k$ such that the ${\rm Gal}…
For all $k\in]0,1[$, we construct a canonical bijection between the space of ramified coverings of the sphere and the space of complete immersed surfaces in $3$-dimensional hyperbolic space of finite area and of constant extrinsic curvature…
The following Theorem is proved: Let M be an n-dimensional (n>2) submanifold of a Riemannian manifold N. Suppose that through each point p of M there exist two (n-1)-dimensional extrinsic spheres of N, which are contained in M in a…
We prove that the fundamental group of any integer homology 3-sphere different from the 3-sphere admits irreducible representations of its fundamental group in SL(2,C). For hyperbolic integer homology spheres this comes with the definition,…
Previous work constructed a generalized truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum of chromatic height 2 at the prime 2 as an E_infinity-ring spectrum, based on the study of elliptic curves with level-3 structure. We show that the natural map…
The notion of a K3 spectrum is introduced in analogy with that of an elliptic spectrum and it is shown that there are "enough" K3 spectra in the sense that for all K3 surfaces X in a suitable moduli stack of K3 surfaces there is a K3…
