A remarkable property of naked singularities in general relativity is their repulsive nature. The effects generated by repulsive gravity are usually investigated by analyzing the trajectories of test particles which move in the effective…

Recently, a combinatorial model for torsion pairs in the cluster category of Dynkin type A_n was introduced, and used to derive an explicit formula for their number. In this article we determine the number of torsion pairs that are…

We consider the problem of decomposing a real-valued symmetric tensor as the sum of outer products of real-valued vectors. Algebraic methods exist for computing complex-valued decompositions of symmetric tensors, but here we focus on…

Let $X$ be an analytic space of pure dimension. We introduce a formalism to generate intrinsic weighted Koppelman formulas on $X$ that provide solutions to the $\dbar$-equation. We obtain new existence results for the $\dbar$-equation, as…

We prove a conjecture of Hutchings and Lee relating the Seiberg-Witten invariants of a closed 3-manifold X with b_1 > 0 to an invariant that `counts' gradient flow lines--including closed orbits--of a circle-valued Morse function on the…

We use Reidemeister torsion to study a twisted Alexander polynomial, as defined by Turaev, for links in the projective space. Using sign-refined torsion we derive a skein relation for a normalized form of this polynomial.

We study spectral asymptotics and resolvent bounds for non-selfadjoint perturbations of selfadjoint $h$-pseudodifferential operators in dimension 2, assuming that the classical flow of the unperturbed part is completely integrable. Spectral…

For any arbitrary algebraic curve, we define an infinite sequence of invariants. We study their properties, in particular their variation under a variation of the curve, and their modular properties. We also study their limits when the…

This article is a description of elasticity theory for readers with mathematical background. The first sections are an abridgment of parts of the book by Marsden and Hughes, including a compact identification of the equations of motion as…

Periodic Hamiltonians on a three-dimensional (3-D) lattice with a spectral gap not only on the bulk but also on two edges at the common Fermi level are considered. By using K-theory applied for the quarter-plane Toeplitz extension, two…

A linear or multi-linear valuation on a finite abstract simplicial complex can be expressed as an analytic index dim(ker(D)) -dim(ker(D^*)) of a differential complex D:E -> F. In the discrete, a complex D can be called elliptic if a…

Motivated by a sharp eigenvalue estimate for the Kohn Laplacian, we prove a theorem that characterizes the CR sphere in terms of the existence of a non-trivial complex-valued function satisfying a certain overdetermined system.

We compute the adjoint twisted Reidemeister torsion for closed oriented hyperbolic $3$-manifolds and for hyperbolic $3$-manifolds with toroidal boundary. In our formula, we consider the manifold as obtained by doing a Dehn-filling along…

We make it precise what it means to have a connection with torsion as solution of the Einstein equations. While locally the theory remains the same, the new formulation allows for topologies that would have been excluded in the standard…

Let $A$ be a noetherian connected graded algebra. We introduce and study homological invariants that are weighted sums of the homological and internal degrees of cochain complexes of graded $A$-modules, providing weighted versions of…

We extend the main result in the previous paper of Zhang and the author relating the Milnor-Turaev torsion with the complex valued analytic torsion to the equivariant case.

Topological insulators in three dimensions are characterized by a Z2-valued topological invariant, which consists of a strong index and three weak indices. In the presence of disorder, only the strong index survives. This paper studies the…

In (2+1)-dimensional general relativity, the path integral for a manifold $M$ can be expressed in terms of a topological invariant, the Ray-Singer torsion of a flat bundle over $M$. For some manifolds, this makes an explicit computation of…

A deep conjecture on torsion anomalous varieties states that if $V$ is a weak-transverse variety in an abelian variety, then the complement $V^{ta}$ of all $V$-torsion anomalous varieties is open and dense in $V$. We prove some cases of…
