In order to investigate to what extent the calculus of classical (pseudo-)Riemannian manifolds can be extended to a noncommutative setting, we introduce pseudo-Riemannian calculi of modules over noncommutative algebras. In this framework,…
We define an invariant for the existence of r pointwise linearly independent sections in the tangent bundle of a closed manifold. For low values of r, explicit computations of the homotopy groups of certain Thom spectra combined with…
Given a topological modular functor $\mathcal{V}$ in the sense of Walker \cite{Walker}, we construct vector bundles over $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, whose Chern classes define semi-simple cohomological field theories. This construction…
Finite-order invariants of knots in arbitrary 3-manifolds (including non-orientable ones) are constructed and studied by methods of the topology of discriminant sets. Obstructions to the integrability of admissible weight systems to…
Using the formalism of discrete quantum group gauge theory, one can construct the quantum algebras of observables for the Hamiltonian Chern-Simons model. The resulting moduli algebras provide quantizations of the algebra of functions on the…
The relationship between comodules of a coring and flat connections is reviewed. In particular we specialise to corings which are built on a tensor product of algebra and a coalgebra. Such corings are in one-to-one correspondence with…
We prove a general formula for the intersection form of two arbitrary monomials in boundary divisors. Furthermore we present a tree basis of the cohomology of $\overline {M}_{0,n}$. With the help of the intersection form we determine the…
A notion of vector field cobordism for oriented manifolds was defined by B\"okstedt and Svane. We extend this notion to define complex section cobordism for almost complex manifolds. We then determine the complex section cobordism groups…
In some physical implementations of quantum computers, 2-qubit operations can be applied only on certain pairs of qubits. Compilation of a quantum circuit into one compliant to such qubit connectivity constraint results in an increase of…
In this paper, we associate a new topology to a nonzero unital module $M$ over a commutative $R$, which is called Golomb topology of the $R$-module $M$. Let $M\ $be an\ $R$-module and $B_{M}$ be the family of coprime cosets $\{m+N\}$ where…
We present explicit formulas for the intersection pairing in the intersection cohomology of the moduli space $M_0(r)$ of rank-$r$, degree-$0$ semistable bundles on a Riemann surface. The key idea is to realize this intersection cohomology…
The classical theory of $G$-structures, which include almost-complex structures, explains the relationship between the curvature of compatible connections and integrability. This note is an effort to understand how the curvature of…
Let $\gg$ be a complex reductive Lie algebra and $\kk\subset\gg$ be any reductive in $\gg$ subalgebra. We call a $(\gg,\kk)$-module $M$ bounded if the $\kk$-multiplicities of $M$ are uniformly bounded. In this paper we initiate a general…
For a projective hyperplane arrangement, we study sufficient conditions in terms of combinatorial data for ESV-calculability of the monodromy eigenspaces of the first Milnor fiber cohomology for eigenvalues of order $m>1$. This can be…
We describe a special instance of the Goerss-Hopkins obstruction theory, due to Senger, for calculating the moduli of $E_\infty$ ring spectra with given mod-$p$ homology. In particular, for the $2$-primary Brown-Peterson spectrum we give a…
In this paper we define 3-crossed modules for commutative (Lie) algebras and investigate the relation between this construction and the simplicial algebras. Also we define the projective 3-crossed resolution for investigate a higher…
We prove a reformulation of the multiplicity upper bound conjecture and use that reformulation to prove it for three-dimensional simplicial complexes and homology manifolds with many vertices. We provide necessary conditions for a…
Starting from a general analysis of obstruction classes, we develop the investigation of obstructions associated with the bundle structure of the hyperbolic Clifford algebra. By taking into account particularities arising from the Whitney…
Given a quasi-projective scheme M over complex numbers equipped with a perfect obstruction theory and a morphism to a nonsingular quasi-projective variety B, we show it is possible to find an affine bundle M'/ M that admits a perfect…
This paper gives a uniform, self-contained and direct approach to a variety of obstruction-theoretic problems on manifolds of dimension 7 and 6. We give necessary and sufficient cohomological criteria for the existence of various…
