We give a new proof of the theorem of Kronecker-Weber based on Kummer theory and Stickelberger's theorem.
This paper has been withdrawn by the author due a crucial sign error in Theorem B. We present a geometric proof of Thom conjecture, which uses Khovanov homology. Our approach doesn't use any analytic methods and is quite different from…
In this note, we give an exposition of the construction of Seiberg-Witten invariants.
Kronheimer and Mrowka introduced a new knot invariant, called $s^\sharp$, which is a gauge theoretic analogue of Rasmussen's $s$ invariant. In this article, we compute Kronheimer and Mrowka's invariant for some classes of knots, including…
We prove a conjecture about the concordance invariant $\vartheta$, defined in a recent paper by Lewark and Zibrowius. This result simplifies the relation between $\vartheta$ and Rasmussen's $s$-invariant. The proof relies on Bar-Natan's…
We give a simple proof of the smooth Thom isomorphism for complex bundles for the bivariant K-theories on locally convex algebras considered by Cuntz. We also prove the Thom isomorphism in Kasparov's KK-theory in a form stated without proof…
We develop a package of monopole Floer-theoretic invariants for webs and foams using real Seiberg-Witten theory with orbifold singularities, based on Kronheimer and Mrowka's framework of monopole Floer homology.
This is a survey of our recent work with Tom Mrowka on Seiberg-Witten gauge theory and index theory for manifolds with periodic ends. We explain how this work leads to a new invariant, which is related to the classical Rohlin invariant of…
We give a new proof of an old theorem by Banchoff and White 1975 that claims that the writhe of a knot is conformally invariant.
We use grid diagrams to investigate the Ozsvath-Szabo concordance invariant tau, and to prove that |tau(K_1)-tau(K_2)|<=g, whenever there is a genus g knot cobordism joining K_1 to K_2. This leads to an entirely grid diagram-based proof of…
The aim of Part II is to explore the technique of invariance of tautological equations in the realm of Gromov--Witten theory. The main result is a proof of Invariance Theorem (Invariance Conjecture~1 in [14]), via the techniques from…
Using geometric homology and cohomology we give a simple and conceptual proof of the Thom isomorphism theorem.
We formulate a very general conjecture relating the analytical invariants of a normal surface singularity to the Seiberg-Witten invariants of its link provided that the link is a rational homology sphere. As supporting evidence, we…
This note contains a complete proof of the Abhyankar-Moh-Suzuki theorem (in characteristic zero case).
We prove a conjecture of Durr, Kabanov and Okonek which provides an algebro-geometric theory of Seiberg-Witten invariants for all smooth projective surfaces. Our main technique is the cosection localization principle of virtual cycles.
We give new proofs of some well-known results from Invariant Theorey using the Kempf-Ness theorem.
This note contains a new combinatorial proof of Cramer's rule based on the Gessel-Viennot-Lindstrom Lemma.
This note is devoted to a combinatorial proof of a Schmidt type theorem due to Andrews and Paule. A four-variable refinement of Andrews and Paule's theorem is also obtained based on this combinatorial construction.
Bianchi and Don\`{a} [1] have recently reported a proof to the variance formula of von Neumann entropy, which was conjectured in [2] and firstly proved in [3]. The purpose of this short note is to show that, despite having a different…
We review how log Gromov--Witten invariants of toric varieties can be used to express quiver Donaldson--Thomas invariants in terms of the simpler attractor Donaldson--Thomas invariants. This is an exposition of joint work with Pierrick…
