We show that the Kontsevich operad, as an operad with multiplication, provides a model for the Taylor tower of the functor defined by taking the homotopy fiber of the inclusion of embeddings of an interval in a cube to the corresponding…

We study Cohen-Macaulay actions, a class of torus actions on manifolds, possibly without fixed points, which generalizes and has analogous properties as equivariantly formal actions. Their equivariant cohomology algebras are computable in…

We find further evidence for the conjecture relating large N Chern-Simons theory on S^3 with topological string on the resolved conifold geometry by showing that the Wilson loop observable of a simple knot on S^3 (for any representation)…

We give a natural construction and a direct proof of the Adams isomorphism for equivariant orthogonal spectra. More precisely, for any finite group G, any normal subgroup N of G, and any orthogonal G-spectrum X, we construct a natural map A…

We compute the equivariant cohomology of complex projective spaces associated to finite-dimensional representations of $C_2$, using ordinary cohomology graded on representations of the fundamental groupoid, with coefficients in the Burnside…

We build model structures on the category of equivariant simplicial operads with weak equivalences determined by families of subgroups, in the context of operads with a varying set of colors (and building on the fixed color model structures…

The associative operad is a central structure in operad theory, defined on the linear span of the set of permutations. We build two analogs of the associative operad on the linear span of the set of packed words which turn out to be…

Given a compact connected Lie group G endowed with root datum, and an element w in the corresponding Artin braid group for G, we describe a filtered G-equivariant stable homotopy type, up to a notion of quasi-equivalence. We call this…

The section condition in double field theory has been shown to imply that a physical point should be one-to-one identified with a gauge orbit in the doubled coordinate space. Here we show the converse is also true, and continue to explore…

For a $C^{*}$-category with a strict $G$-action we construct examples of equivariant coarse homology theories. To this end we first introduce versions of Roe categories of objects in $C^{*}$-categories which are controlled over bornological…

For M a closed, connected, oriented manifold, we obtain the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) algebra of its string topology through homotopy-theoretic constructions on its based loop space. In particular, we show that the Hochschild cohomology of…

In his article [J. Comb. Theory Ser. B 16 (1974), 168-174], Tutte called two graphs $T$-equivalent (i.e., codichromatic) if they have the same Tutte polynomial and showed that graphs $G$ and $G'$ are $T$-equivalent if $G'$ is obtained from…

We derive the universal threshold corrections in heterotic string theory including a continuous Wilson line. Unification of gauge and gravitational couplings is shown to be possible even within perturbative string theory. The relative…

The main result of this paper is the description of asymptotics along rays in weight space of traces of equivariant Toeplitz operators composed with quantomorphisms for torus actions. The main ingredient in the proof is the microlocal…

Given a second-countable, locally compact group $G$, we consider amenable $G$-actions on separable, stable, nuclear $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebras that are isometrically shift-absorbing and tensorially absorb the trivial action on the Cuntz…

This paper emphasizes the ubiquitous role of moduli spaces of algebraic curves in associative algebra and algebraic topology. The main results are: (1) the space of an operad with multiplication is a homotopy Gerstenhaber (i.e., homotopy…

We prove that for a topological operad $P$ the operad of oriented cubical chains, $C^{ord}_\ast(P)$, and the operad of singular chains, $S_\ast(P)$, are weakly equivalent. As a consequence, $C^{ord}_\ast(P;\mathbb{Q})$ is formal if and only…

The goal of this paper is to complete Getzler-Jones' proof of Deligne's Conjecture, thereby establishing an explicit relationship between the geometry of configurations of points in the plane and the Hochschild complex of an associative…

We define a construction on operads which yields a new description of the minimal model. The construction also allows us to define algebraic structures on the homology of chain complexes with homologously trivial operad algebra structures,…

We introduce the notion of $\mathrm{R}$-Eulerian sequences for any $\mathcal{N}_\infty$-ring spectrum $\mathrm{R}$ of finite orientation order. We prove that each $\mathrm{R}$-Eulerian sequence determines a stable $\mathrm{R}$-cohomology…
