In the 1980s, Mahowald and Kane used Brown-Gitler spectra to construct splittings of $bo \wedge bo$ and $BP\langle 1 \rangle \wedge BP\langle 1 \rangle$. These splittings helped make it feasible to do computations using the $bo$- and $BP…

In the 1980's, Mahowald and Kane used integral Brown--Gitler spectra to decompose $ku \wedge ku$ as a sum of finitely generated $ku$-module spectra. This splitting, along with an analogous decomposition of $ko \wedge ko,$ led to a great…

Many interesting spectra can be constructed as Thom spectra of easily constructed bundles. Mahowald showed that $\mathit{bu}$ and $\mathit{bo}$ cannot be realized as $E_1$ Thom spectra. We use related techniques to show that…

We analyze the ring tmf_*tmf of cooperations for the connective spectrum of topological modular forms (at the prime 2) through a variety of perspectives: (1) the E_2-term of the Adams spectral sequence for tmf ^ tmf admits a decomposition…

We construct splittings of some completions of the Z/(p)-Tate cohomology of E(n) and some related spectra. In particular, we split (a completion of) tE(n) as a (completion of) a wedge of E(n-1)'s as a spectrum, where t is shorthand for the…

We show that, at the prime $p=2$, the spectrum $\Sigma^{-n}D(n)$ splits off the Madsen-Tillmann spectrum $MTO(n)=BO(n)^{-\gamma_n}$ which is compatible with the classic splitting of $M(n)$ off $BO(n)_+$. For $n=2$, together with our…

We prove that the Madsen-Tillmann spectrum $MT\theta_n$ splits into the sum of spectra $\Sigma^{-2n}MO\langle n+1 \rangle \oplus \Sigma^{\infty-2n}\mathbb{R} P^\infty_{2n}$ after Postnikov trunctation $\tau_{\leq \ell}$ for $\ell = \lfloor…

In the first part of this paper the projective dimension of the structural modules in the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ is studied. This dimension is computed for simple, standard and costandard modules. For tilting and injective modules an…

We construct spectrum-level splittings of $BPGL \langle 1 \rangle \wedge BPGL \langle 1 \rangle$ at all primes $p$, where $BPGL \langle 1 \rangle$ is the first truncated motivic Brown--Peterson spectrum. Classically, $BP\langle 1 \rangle…

A complex contact structure $\gamma$ is defined by a system of holomorphic local $1$-forms satisfying the completely non-integrability condition. The contact structure induces a subbundle ${\rm Ker}\, \gamma$ of the tangent bundle and a…

Computations involving the root invariant prompted Mahowald and Shick to develop the slogan: "the root invariant of v_n periodic homotopy is v_n torsion." While neither a proof, nor a precise statement, of this slogan appears in the…

We extend the theory of Thom spectra and the associated obstruction theory for orientations in order to support the construction of the string orientation of tmf, the spectrum of topological modular forms. We also develop the analogous…

We prove the Gap Theorem for the spectrum of topological modular forms $\mathrm{Tmf}$. This removes a longstanding circularity in the literature, thereby confirming the computation of $\pi_\ast \mathrm{tmf}$ from over two decades ago by…

We study category $\mathcal{O}$ for Takiff Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g} \otimes \mathbb{C}[\epsilon]/(\epsilon^2)$ where $\mathfrak{g}$ is the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$. We decompose this category as a…

A novel atomic beam splitter, using reflection of atoms off an evanescent light wave, is investigated theoretically. The intensity or frequency of the light is modulated in order to create sidebands on the reflected de Broglie wave. The…

We record various properties of twisted Becker-Gottlieb transfer maps and study their multiplicative properties analogous to Becker-Gottlieb transfer. We show these twisted transfer maps factorise through Becker-Schultz-Mann-Miller-Miller…

The goal of this article is to motivate and describe how Gromov-Witten theory can and has provided tools to understand the moduli space of curves. For example, ideas and methods from Gromov-Witten theory have led to both conjectures and…

We construct a flat holomorphic line bundle over a connected component of the Hurwitz space of branched coverings of the Riemann sphere. A flat holomorphic connection defining the bundle is described in terms of the invariant Wirtinger…

The cohomology theory known as Tmf, for "topological modular forms," is a universal object mapping out to elliptic cohomology theories, and its coefficient ring is closely connected to the classical ring of modular forms. We extend this to…

We show, in full generality, that Lusztig's $\mathbf{a}$-function describes the projective dimension of both indecomposable tilting modules and indecomposable injective modules in the regular block of the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$, proving…
