We describe applications of the gluing formalism discussed in the companion paper. When a $d$-dimensional local theory $\text{QFT}_d$ is supersymmetric, and if we can find a supersymmetric polarization for $\text{QFT}_d$ quantized on a…
The Goldberg-Sachs theorem is generalized for all four-dimensional manifolds endowed with torsion-free connection compatible with the metric, the treatment includes all signatures as well as complex manifolds. It is shown that when the Weyl…
This paper studies the associativity of gluing of trajectories in Morse theory. We show that the associativity of gluing follows from of the existence of compatible manifold with face structures on the compactified moduli spaces. Using our…
We give a classification of toric anti-self-dual conformal structures on compact 4-orbifolds with positive Euler characteristic. Our proof is twistor theoretic: the interaction between the complex torus orbits in the twistor space and the…
We make two improvements upon Joyce's gluing theorems of for compact special Lagrangian submanifolds with isolated conical singularities. Firstly, we get rid of a few technical hypotheses of them. Secondly, we replace another hypothesis by…
We follow the idea of gluing theory in instanton moduli spaces and discuss the case when there is a finite group $\Gamma$ acting on the 4-manifolds $X_1, X_2$ with $x_1, x_2$ as isolated fixed points, how to glue two $\Gamma$-invariant ASD…
Given an orientable ideally triangulated $3$--manifold $M$, we define a system of real valued equations and inequalities whose solutions can be used to construct projective structures on $M$. These equations represent a unifying framework…
We show that the Kounterterms for pure AdS gravity in arbitrary even dimensions coincide with the boundary counterterms obtained through holographic renormalization if and only if the boundary Weyl tensor vanishes. In particular, the…
We formulate a more conceptual interpretation of the Cappell-Lee-Miller glueing/splitting theorem using the new language of asymptotic maps and asymptotic exactness. Additionally, we present an asymptotic description of the Mayer-Vietoris…
An index theorem for the anti-self-dual deformation complex on anti-self-dual orbifolds with singularities conjugate to ADE-type is proved. In 1988, Claude Lebrun gave examples of scalar-flat K\"ahler ALE metrics with negative mass, on the…
We derive a tensorial formula for a fourth-order conformally invariant differential operator on conformal 4-manifolds. This operator is applied to algebraic Weyl tensor densities of a certain conformal weight, and takes its values in…
We study the generic band structures of the five-dimensional (5D) Weyl semimetal, in which the band degeneracies are 2D Weyl surfaces in the momentum space, and may have non-trivial linkings with each other if they carry nonzero second…
We derive some necessary conditions on a Riemannian metric $(M, g)$ in four dimensions for it to be locally conformal to K\"ahler. If the conformal curvature is non anti--self--dual, the self--dual Weyl spinor must be of algebraic type $D$…
In this paper we study the $\sigma_2$--Yamabe equation, $n>4$, for solutions with a prescribed singular set $\Lambda$ given by a disjoint union of closed submanifolds whose dimension is positive and strictly less than $(n-\sqrt{n}-2)/2$.…
A sum rule which relates a stress-energy tensor correlator to thermodynamic functions is examined within the context of a simple non-conformal gravity dual. Such a sum rule was previously derived using AdS/CFT for conformal $\mathcal{N} =…
This paper is devoted to prove that if an Alexandrov space of curvature not less than $\kappa$ with a codimension one extremal subset which admits an isometric involution with respect to the induced length metric, then the metric space…
The leitmotif of this paper is the question of whether four- and higher even-dimensional Conformal Gravities do have a Chern-Simons pedigree. We show that Weyl gravity can be obtained as dimensional reduction of a five-dimensional…
Given a $4$-manifold $\hat{M}$ and two homeomorphic surfaces $\Sigma_1, \Sigma_2$ smoothly embedded in $\hat{M}$ with genus more than 1, we remove the neighborhoods of the surfaces and obtain a new $4$-manifold $M$ from gluing two…
We prove that finite-index conformal nets are fully dualizable objects in the 3-category of conformal nets. Therefore, assuming the cobordism hypothesis applies, there exists a local framed topological field theory whose value on the point…
As already observed by Gabriel, coherent sheaves on schemes obtained by gluing affine open subsets can be described by a simple gluing construction. An example due to Ferrand shows that this fails in general for pushouts along closed…
