This paper investigates the space of codimension zero embeddings of a Poincare duality space in a disk. One of our main results exhibits a tower that interpolates from the space of Poincare immersions to a certain space of "unlinked"…

We show that there are obstructions to the existence of certain types of invariant subspaces of the Milnor monodromy; this places restrictions on the cohomology of Milnor fibres of non-isolated hypersurface singularities.

We obtain multirelative connectivity statements about spaces of Poincare embeddings, as precursors to analogous statements about spaces of smooth embeddings. The latter are the key to convergence results in the functor calculus approach to…

We prove weak Poincare inequalities on domains which are inverse images of open sets in Wiener spaces under continuous functions of Brownian rough paths. The result is applicable to Dirichlet forms on loop groups and connected open subsets…

In polarization optics, various topological constructs, namely Poincar\'e spheres of different orders, are used to represent uniform and structured polarization distributions. Similarly, there are also structured polarization optical…

We continue the development of the study of the equisingularity of isolated singularities, in the determinantal case. This version of the paper includes a substantial amount of new material (76% larger). The new material introduces the idea…

Let $\pi$ be a group satisfying the Farrell-Jones conjecture and assume that $B\pi$ is a 4-dimensional Poincar\'e duality space. We consider topological, closed, connected manifolds with fundamental group $\pi$ whose canonical map to $B\pi$…

Thom polynomials are universal cohomological obstructions to the appearance of singularities of given types in differentiable maps. As an application, various invariants of immersions have been expressed in terms of singularities of their…

For a germ $(X,0)$ of a normal complex analytic surface, let $E:=H^0({}^p_+IC_X\mathbb Z)_0$, where ${}^pIC_X\mathbb Z$ and ${}^p_+IC_X\mathbb Z$ denote the ordinary and dual middle-perversity intersection complexes with integral…

Let $\mathbf{M}_n$ be the Simpson compactification of twisted ideal sheaves $\mathcal{I}_{L,Q}(1)$ where $Q$ is a rank $4$ quardric hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ and $L$ is a linear subspace of dimension $n-2$. This paper calculates the…

Let $\pi:P\to M^n$ be a principal G-bundle, and let ${\mathcal{L}}: J^1P \to\Lambda^n(M)$ be a G-invariant Lagrangian density. We obtain the Euler-Poincare equations for the reduced Lagrangian l defined on ${\mathcal C}(P)$, the bundle of…

In this paper we present a novel arbitrary-order discrete de Rham (DDR) complex on general polyhedral meshes based on the decomposition of polynomial spaces into ranges of vector calculus operators and complements linked to the spaces in…

After G. Perelman's solution of the Poincare Conjecture, this is a different way toward it. Given a simply connected, closed 3-manifold M, we produce a homotopy disc H, which arises from M by a finite sequence of simple modifications and,…

We single out a large class of semisimple singularities with the property that all roots of the Poincar\'e polynomial of the Lie algebra of derivations of the corresponding suitably (not necessarily quasihomogeneously) graded moduli algebra…

In the Born-Infeld 'harmonic gauge' description of M-branes moving in R^{M+1} the underlying M+2 dimensional Poincare - invariance gives rise to an interesting system of conservation laws showing signs of integrability.

When four dimensional spacetime R is considered as locally embedded on a larger manifold M, labelled by higher division algebra coordinates, a natural question to ask is how much of the symmetry properties of the larger space are inherited…

Using Quillen-Lurie deformation theory formalism we develop an obstruction theory for studying the stable $\infty$-category of modules over a given geometric $\infty$-stack. The obstruction theory studies the problem of lifting compact…

This article studies separating invariants for the ring of multisymmetric polynomials in $m$ sets of $n$ variables over an arbitrary field $\mathbb{K}$. We prove that in order to obtain separating sets it is enough to consider polynomials…

Let M be a closed enlargeable spin manifold. We show non-triviality of the universal index obstruction in the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of the fundamental group of M. Our proof is independent from the injectivity of the…

We discuss the possibility of a central extension of the Poincar\'e algebra and the scaling Poincar\'e algebra. In more than two space-time dimensions, all the central extensions are trivial and can be removed. In two space-time dimensions,…
