In 1946, M. Morse proposed a conjecture that an analytic topologically transitive systems is metrically transitive. We prove this Morse conjecture for flows on a closed orientable surface of negative Euler characteristic. As a consequence,…

Using the theory of mixed perverse sheaves, we extend arguments on the Hodge conjecture initiated by Lefschetz and Griffiths to the case of the Tate conjecture, and show that the Tate conjecture for divisors is closely related to the de…

In this article, the theory of sheaves is studied from a categorical point of view. This perspective vastly generalizes the usual theory of sheaves of sets to a more abstract setting which allows us to investigate the theory of sheaves with…

A tensor model structure is constructed on the category of chain complexes of presheaves of R-modules for a sheaf of rings R in a Grothendieck topos. If the topos has enough points, then the homotopy category is equivalent to the derived…

We prove a Morse index theorem for action functionals on paths that are allowed to reflect at a hypersurface (either in the interior or at the boundary of a manifold). Both fixed and periodic boundary conditions are treated.

We develop a theory of simple pentagonal subdivision of quadrilateral tilings, on orientable as well as non-orientable surfaces. Then we apply the theory to answer questions related to pentagonal tilings of surfaces, especially those…

We take first steps toward a theory of ``conformal twists'' for superconformal field theories in dimension 3 to 6, extending the well-known analysis of twists for supersymmetric theories. A conformal twist is a square-zero odd element in…

We prove that the categories of coherent sheaves over weighted projective lines of tubular type are explicitly related to each other via the equivariantization with respect to certain cyclic group actions.

We describe tilting modules of the deformed category O over a semisimple Lie algebra as certain sheaves on a moment graph associated to the corresponding block of category O. We prove that they map to Braden-MacPherson sheaves constructed…

In the strict semi stable reduction situation, we describe the various filtrations of the perverse sheaf of nearby cycles in terms of irreducible perverse sheaves together with the action of the monodromy operator. We then study the…

We define a notion of Morse function and establish Morse theory-like theorems over offsets of any compact set in a Euclidean space at regular values of their distance function. Using non-smooth analysis and tools from geometric measure…

We show that certain categories of perverse sheaves on a pair of affine toric varieties defined by dual cones are Koszul dual in the sense of Beilinson, Ginzburg and Soergel. The functor expressing this duality is constructed explicitly…

We conjecture that any perverse sheaf on a compact aspherical K\"ahler manifold has non-negative Euler characteristic. This extends the Singer-Hopf conjecture in the K\"ahler setting. We verify the stronger conjecture when the manifold X…

In a previous article the author extended the Witten deformation to singular spaces with cone-like singularities and to a class of Morse functions called admissible Morse functions. The method applies in particular to complex cones and…

A general or truss distributive laws between two associative operations on the same set are studied for cancellative and inverse semigroups.

The titular, foundational work of Beilinson not only gives a technique for gluing perverse sheaves but also implicitly contains constructions of the nearby and vanishing cycles functors of perverse sheaves. These constructions are…

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Moore-Penrose pseudo-inversion of symmetric real matrices with application in the graph theory. We introduce a novel concept of positively and negatively pseudo-inverse matrices and graphs. We…

Torse-forming vector fields are generalizations of some important vector fields. In this paper, we present some techniques to transform a proper torse-forming vector field into its special cases. Concrete examples are given.

This article is a survey of recent work of the author, together with Markus Banagl, Eric Leichtnam, Rafe Mazzeo, and Paolo Piazza, on the Hodge theory of stratified spaces. We discuss how to resolve a Thom-Mather stratified space to a…

We study extension of scalars for sheaves of vector spaces, assembling results that follow from well-known statements about vector spaces, but also developing some complements. In particular, we formulate Galois descent in this context, and…
