Rank invariants are a parametrized version of Betti numbers of a space multi-filtered by a continuous vector-valued function. In this note we give a sufficient condition for their finiteness. This condition is sharp for spaces embeddable in…

Cubic complexes appear in the theory of finite type invariants so often that one can ascribe them to basic notions of the theory. In this paper we begin the exposition of finite type invariants from the `cubic' point of view. Finite type…

We define homotopy-theoretic invariants of knots in prime 3-manifolds. Fix a knot J in a prime 3-manifold M. Call a knot K in M concordant to J if it cobounds a properly embedded annulus with J in MxI, and call K J-characteristic if there…

Let X be a K3 surface and M a smooth and projective moduli space of stable sheaves on X of Mukai vector v. A universal sheaf U over X x M induces an integral transform F from the derived category D(X) of coherent sheaves on X to that on M.…

An invariant of orientable 3-manifolds is defined by taking the minimum $n$ such that a given 3-manifold embeds in the connected sum of $n$ copies of $S^2 \times S^2$, and we call this $n$ the embedding number of the 3-manifold. We give…

Given a rational homology 3-sphere M with the first integral homology of rank b and a link L inside M, colored by odd numbers, we construct a unified invariant I_{M,L} belonging to a modification of the Habiro ring where b is inverted. Our…

In this paper, we investigate the geometric invariant properties of a normal curve on a smooth immersed surface under conformal transformation. We obtain an invariant-sufficient condition for the conformal image of a normal curve. We also…

Using the Rost invariant for non split simply connected groups, we define a relative degree $3$ cohomological invariant for pairs of orthogonal or unitary involutions having isomorphic Clifford or discriminant algebras. The main purpose of…

We define and study embeddings of cycles in finite affine and projective planes. We show that for all $k$, $3\le k\le q^2$, a $k$-cycle can be embedded in any affine plane of order $q$. We also prove a similar result for finite projective…

We define an invariant, which we call surface-complexity, of closed 3-manifolds by means of Dehn surfaces. The surface-complexity of a manifold is a natural number measuring how much the manifold is complicated. We prove that it fulfils…

Given a Riemannian manifold $N^n$ and ${\cal Z}\in \mathfrak{X}(N)$, an isometric immersion $f\colon M^m\to N^n$ is said to have the \emph{constant ratio property with respect to ${\cal Z}$} either if the tangent component ${\cal Z}^T_f$ of…

The aim of this article is to introduce invariants of oriented, smooth, closed four-manifolds, built using the Floer homology theories defined in two earlier papers (math.SG/0101206 and math.SG/0105202). This four-dimensional theory also…

Consider a finite-dimensional real vector space equipped with a finite group acting unitarily on it. We address the general problem of constructing Euclidean stable embeddings of the quotient space of orbits. Our approach is based on…

In persistent topology, q-tame modules appear as a natural and large class of persistence modules indexed over the real line for which a persistence diagram is definable. However, unlike persistence modules indexed over a totally ordered…

Let ${\mathbb{F}_{q}}$ be the finite field of order $q$. Let $G$ be one of the three groups ${\rm GL}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$, ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ or ${\rm U}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ and let $W$ be the standard $n$-dimensional representation of…

We classify K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds which admit a K\"ahler immersion into a finite dimensional complex projective space endowed with the Fubini-Study metric, whose codimention is not greater than 3 and whose metric is rotation…

In this article we present formulae for q-integration on quantum spaces which could be of particular importance in physics, i.e. q-deformed Minkowski space and q-deformed Euclidean space in 3 or 4 dimensions. Furthermore, our formulae can…

We study finite type invariants of nullhomologous knots in a closed 3-manifold $M$ defined in terms of certain descending filtration $\{\mathscr{K}_n(M)\}_{n\geq 0}$ of the vector space $\mathscr{K}(M)$ spanned by isotopy classes of…

The f-invariant is a higher version of the e-invariant that takes values in the divided congruences between modular forms; it can be formulated as an elliptic genus of manifolds with corners of codimension two. In this thesis, we develop a…

We show that, for both the conformal and projective groups, all the differential invariants of a generic surface in three-dimensional space can be written as combinations of the invariant derivatives of a single differential invariant. The…
