In this paper we first show that any coupled system consisting of a gravitational plus a free electromagnetic field can be described geometrically in the sense that both Maxwell equations and Einstein equation having as source term the…

We study relative Seiberg-Witten moduli spaces and define relative invariants for a pair $(X,\Sigma)$ consisting of a smooth, closed, oriented 4-manifold $X$ and a smooth, closed, oriented 2-dimensional submanifold $\Sigma\!\subset\!X$ with…

We introduce the stack of r-spin maps. These are stable maps into a variety V from n-pointed algebraic curves of genus g, with the additional data of an r-spin structure on the curve. We prove that this stack is a Deligne-Mumford stack, and…

For a target variety $X$ and a nodal curve $C$, we introduce a one-parameter stability condition, termed $\epsilon$-admissibility, for maps from nodal curves to $X\times C$. If $X$ is a point, $\epsilon$-admissibility interpolates between…

This is a continuation of a project on large deviations for the empirical measures of zeros of random holomorphic sections of random line bundles over a Riemann surface X. In a previous article with O. Zeitouni (arXiv:0904.4271), we proved…

Preconjugate variables X have commutation relations with the energy-momentum P of the respective system which are of a more general form than just the Hamiltonian one. Since they have been proven useful in their own right for finding new…

We establish an analogue of the Grothendieck inequality where the rectangular matrix is replaced by a symmetric/Hermitian matrix and the bilinear form by a quadratic form. We call this the symmetric Grothendieck inequality; despite its…

We investigate perturbative aspects of gravity with a general F(R) Lagrangian, as well as nonperturbative dilatonic solutions. For the first part, we are interested in stability and the definition of asymptotic charges. The main result of…

In Hamiltonian GR, change has seemed to be missing, defined only asymptotically, or otherwise obscured at best. By construing change as essential time dependence, can one find change locally in Hamiltonian GR with spinors? This paper is…

This work is a spin-off of an on-going programme which aims at revisiting the original studies of Lie and Cartan on pseudogroups and geometric structures from a modern perspective. We encode geometric structures induced by transitive Lie…

A new generalized function space in which all Gelfand-Shilov classes $S^{\prime 0}_\alpha$ ($\alpha>1$) of analytic functionals are embedded is introduced. This space of {\it ultrafunctionals} does not possess a natural nontrivial topology…

Gromov-Witten invariants of a symplectic manifold are a count of holomorphic curves. We describe a formula expressing the GW invariants of a symplectic sum $X# Y$ in terms of the relative GW invariants of $X$ and $Y$. This formula has…

Let $G$ be a simply connected semisimple group over $\mathbb{C}$. We show that a certain involution of an open subset of the affine Grassmannian of $G$, defined previously by Achar and the author, corresponds to the action of the nontrivial…

A Poincar\'{e} gauge theory of (2+1)-dimensional gravity is developed. Fundamental gravitational field variables are dreibein fields and Lorentz gauge potentials, and the theory is underlain with the Riemann-Cartan space-time. The most…

We introduce the Lax-Kirchhoff moduli space associated with a finite quiver $\Gamma$ and a compact connected Lie group $G$. On each oriented edge we consider the Lax equation $\dot{A}_1 + [A_0, A_1] = 0$ and impose a Kirchhoff-type matching…

This article gives an invariant representation of the curvature of a plane wave spacetime in terms of the Schwarzian of a curve in the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It develops a general theory of cross ratios and Schwarzians of curves in what…

We study the preservation of semisimplicity for holonomic D-modules with respect to the direct and inverse image of mainly finite maps $\pi : X \to Y$ of smooth varieties. A natural filtration of the direct image $\pi_+({\mathcal O}_X)$ is…

The enumerative geometry of r-th roots of line bundles is the subject of Witten's conjecture and occurs in the calculation of Gromov-Witten invariants of orbifolds. It requires the definition of the suitable compact moduli stack and the…

Involutivity is the algebraic property that guarantees solutions to an analytic and torsion-free exterior differential system or partial differential equation via the Cartan-K\"ahler theorem. Guillemin normal form establishes that the…

Given a submanifold Z inside X, let Y be the blow-up of X along Z. When the normal bundle of Z in X is convex with a minor assumption, we prove that genus-zero GW-invariants of Y with cohomology insertions from X, are identical to…
