This paper announces results on the behavior of some important algebraic and topological invariants --- Euler characteristic, arithmetic genus, and their intersection homology analogues; the signature, etc. --- and their associated…
We discuss several versions of the Family Signature Theorem: in rational cohomology using ideas of Meyer, in $KO[\tfrac{1}{2}]$-theory using ideas of Sullivan, and finally in symmetric $L$-theory using ideas of Ranicki. Employing recent…
This is the first installment of an exposition of an ACL2 formalization of elementary linear algebra, focusing on aspects of the subject that apply to matrices over an arbitrary commutative ring with identity, in anticipation of a future…
We consider the signatures $\Sigma_m=(0,1,-,+, \cdot, \ ^{-1})$ of meadows and $(\Sigma_m, {\mathbf s})$ of signed meadows. We give two complete axiomatizations of the equational theories of the real numbers with respect to these…
We associate to every central simple algebra with involution of orthogonal type in characteristic two a totally singular quadratic form which reflects certain anisotropy properties of the involution. It is shown that this quadratic form can…
Among Thurston maps (orientation-preserving, postcritically finite branched coverings of the 2-sphere to itself), those that arise as subdivision maps of a finite subdivision rule form a special family. For such maps, we investigate…
These notes expound the recent use of the signature transform and rough path theory in data science and machine learning. We develop the core theory of the signature from first principles and then survey some recent popular applications of…
In stochastic analysis, a standard method to study a path is to work with its signature. This is a sequence of tensors of different order that encode information of the path in a compact form. When the path varies, such signatures…
The paper expands the theory of quadratic forms on modules over a semiring R, introduced in [12]-[14], especially in the setup of tropical and supertropical algebra. Isometric linear maps induce subordination on quadratic forms, and provide…
The most impressively prolific exploration of superstring models (aiming for our physical reality) has been focused on worldsheet-supersymmetric gauged linear sigma models and the closely associated complex-algebraic toric geometry. Mirror…
This chapter presents some of the links between automata theory and symbolic dynamics. The emphasis is on two particular points. The first one is the interplay between some particular classes of automata, such as local automata and results…
We introduce an orbifold induction procedure which provides a systematic construction of cyclic orbifolds, including their twisted sectors. The procedure gives counterparts in the orbifold theory of all the current-algebraic constructions…
We investigate a simple $f(R, T_\phi)$ gravity model coupled to a scalar field and demonstrate that the theory admits classical degenerate metric solutions, analogous to those known in general relativity. In particular, we identify a class…
In this paper we examine the topology of manifolds equipped with a local quaternionic toric action modeled on the regular representation of the quaternionic torus $Q^n=(S^3)^n$. Building on our previous work, where the toric, differential…
We give an introductory review of topological strings and their application to various aspects of superstrings and supersymmetric gauge theories. This review includes developing the necessary mathematical background for topological strings,…
The note complements topological aspects of the theory of chiral algebras.
We characterize when the spectral variation of the signed Laplacian matrices is integral after a new edge is added to a signed graph. As an application, for every fixed signed complete graph, we fully characterize the class of signed graphs…
We construct algorithms and topological invariants that allow us to distinguish the topological type of a surface, as well as functions and vector fields for their topological equivalence. In the first part (arXiv:2501.15657), we discused…
There are three main components to this article: (i) A formula for the eta invariant of the signature complex for any finite subgroup of ${\rm{SO}}(4)$ acting freely on $S^3$ is given. An application of this is a non-existence result for…
The signature of a parametric curve is a sequence of tensors whose entries are iterated integrals. This construction is central to the theory of rough paths in stochastic analysis. It is here examined through the lens of algebraic geometry.…
