For all integers $k$ with $k\geq 2$, if $G$ is a balanced $k$-partite graph on $n\geq 3$ vertices with minimum degree at least \[…

The Curtis conjecture predicts that the only spherical classes in $H_*(Q_0S^0;\Z/2)$ are the Hopf invariant one and the Kervaire invariant one elements. We consider Sullivan's decomposition $$Q_0S^0=J\times\cok J$$ where $J$ is the fibre of…

This note is on spherical classes in $H_*(QS^0;k)$ when $k=\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{Z}/p$ with a special focus on the case of $p=2$ related to Curtis conjecture. We apply Freudenthal theorem to prove a vanishing result for the Hurewicz image of…

We prove a surface embedding theorem for 4-manifolds with good fundamental group in the presence of dual spheres, with no restriction on the normal bundles. The new obstruction is a Kervaire-Milnor invariant for surfaces and we give a…

In this paper I define the notion of a non-degenerate finitely semi-simple semi-strict spherical 2-category of non-zero dimension. Given such a 2-category I define a state-sum for any triangulated compact closed oriented 4-manifold and show…

We study generalisations to the structure groups U(n) of the familiar (abelian) Seiberg-Witten monopole equations on a four-manifold $X$ and their moduli spaces. For $n=1$ one obtains the classical monopole equations. For $n > 1$ our…

A conjecture of Mumford predicts a complete set of relations between the generators of the cohomology ring of the moduli space of rank 2 semi-stable sheaves with fixed odd degree determinant on a smooth, projective curve of genus at least…

It is known, that if a 2m-dimensional Kahler manifold satisfies the axiom of holomorphic 2n-spheres (1<n<m) or the axiom of antiholomorphic n-spheres (2<n), it is of constant holomorphic sectional curvature. In this paper the same result is…

We study two-parameter oscillator variations of the classical theorem on harmonic polynomials, associated with noncanonical oscillator representations of sl(n) and o(n). We find the condition when the homogeneous solution spaces of the…

The $C^*$-algebra of continuous functions on the quantum quaternion sphere $H_q^{2n}$ can be identified with the quotient algebra $C(SP_q(2n)/SP_q(2n-2))$. In commutative case i.e. for $q=1$, the topological space $SP(2n)/SP(2n-2)$ is…

We study the problem of determining the isomorphism classes of the virtually cyclic subgroups of the n-string braid groups B_n(S^2) of the 2-sphere S^2. If n is odd, or if n is even and sufficiently large, we obtain the complete…

Let $R_s M$ denote the Singer construction on an unstable module $M$ over the Steenrod algebra $A$ at the prime two; $R_s M$ is canonically a subobject of $P_s\otimes M$, where $P_s$ is the polynomial algebra on s generators of degree one.…

In this paper we establish a close relationship between the spherical functions of the $n$-dimensional sphere $S^n\simeq\SO(n+1)/\SO(n)$ and the spherical functions of the $n$-dimensional real projective space…

We show that $m$ points and $n$ two-dimensional algebraic surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$ can have at most $O(m^{\frac{k}{2k-1}}n^{\frac{2k-2}{2k-1}}+m+n)$ incidences, provided that the algebraic surfaces behave like pseudoflats with $k$ degrees…

Using the corepresentation of the quantum supergroup OSp_q(1/2) a general method for constructing noncommutative spaces covariant under its coaction is developed. In particular, a one-parameter family of covariant algebras, which may be…

We construct an obstruction theory for relative Hilbert schemes in the sense of Behrend-Fantechi and compute it explicitly for relative Hilbert schemes of divisors on smooth projective varieties. In the special case of curves on a surface…

This paper shows that in dimensions n \geq 2 for any partition of the set of points in the standard n-sphere \sum_{i=0}^n x_i^2 =1 in R^{n+1} into (n+3) or more nonempty sets, there exists a hyperplane in R^{n+1} that intersects at least…

We study the scalar quantum field theory on a generic noncommutative two-sphere as a special case of noncommutative curved space, which is described by the deformation quantization algebra obtained from symplectic reduction and parametrized…

This is about Curtis conjecture on the image of the Hurewicz map $h:{_2\pi_*}Q_0S^0\to H_*(Q_0S^0;\Z/2)$. First, we show that if $f\in{_2\pi_*^s}$ is of Adams filtration at least $3$ with $h(f)\neq 0$ then $f$ is not a decomposable element…

An obstruction theory for representing homotopy classes of surfaces in 4-manifolds by immersions with pairwise disjoint images is developed, using the theory of non-repeating Whitney towers. The accompanying higher-order intersection…
