We consider the topological defect lines commuting with the spectral flow and the $\mathcal{N}=(4,4)$ superconformal symmetry in two dimensional non-linear sigma models on K3. By studying their fusion with boundary states, we derive a…

We consider D3 branes at orbifolded conifold singularities which are not quotient singularities. We use toric geometry and gauged linear sigma model to study the moduli space of the gauge theories on the D3 branes. We find that…

Geometric flows have proved to be a powerful geometric analysis tool, perhaps most notably in the study of 3-manifold topology, the differentiable sphere theorem, Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections and canonical Kaehler metrics. In the…

We study a class of weakly conformal $3$-harmonic maps, called associative Smith maps, from $3$-manifolds into $7$-manifolds that parametrize associative $3$-folds in Riemannian $7$-manifolds equipped with $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures.…

We give an explicit description of a fibration of the complement of the closure of a homogeneous braid, understanding how each fiber intersects every cross-section of $S^3$.

We construct new examples of non-formal simply connected compact Sasaki-Einstein 7-manifolds. We determine the minimal model of the total space of any fibre bundle over $CP^2$ with fibre $S^1\times S^2$ or $S^3/Z_p$ ($p>0$), and we apply…

We produce new cohomology for non-uniform arithmetic lattices $\Gamma<SO(p,q)$ using a technique of Millson--Raghunathan. From this, we obtain new characteristic classes of manifold bundles with fiber a closed $4k$-dimensional manifold $M$…

In this paper, we produce explicit examples of mean curvature flow of (2m-1)-dimensional submanifolds which converge to (2m-2)-dimensional submanifolds at a finite time. These examples are a special class of hyperspheres in $\mathbb{C}^{m}$…

We determine explicit generators for the ring of modular forms associated with the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with automorphism group $(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^2$ and of Picard rank 13 and higher. The K3 surfaces in question carry a…

In this paper we explore the topological properties of self-replicating, 3-dimensional manifolds, which are modeled by idempotents in the (2+1)-cobordism category. We give a classification theorem for all such idempotents. Additionally, we…

We construct compact $G_2$-orbifolds with ADE-singularities that carry exactly one parallel spinor. Our examples are related to certain quotients of $\mathbb{C}^2\times T^3$ that have been investigated in arXiv:hep-th/9812205. We shortly…

In this paper we construct and classify Lagrangian T^3-fibrations on non compact symplectic manifolds with singular fibres of prescribed topological type. This contributes to the understanding of the structure of the singular fibres that…

In this article we show that generally almost regular flows, introduced by Bamler and Kleiner, in closed 3-manifolds will either go extinct in finite time or flow to a collection of smooth embedded minimal surfaces, possibly with…

The goal of the paper is to give characterization of closed connected manifolds which admit a global multisympletic 3-form of some algebraic type. A generic type of such 3-form is equivalent to a G2-structure. This is the most interesting…

The model 4-dimensional CR-cubic in $\CC{3}$ has the following "model" property: it is (essentially) the unique locally homogeneous 4-dimensional CR-manifold in $\CC{3}$ with finite-dimensional infinitesimal automorphism algebra…

We give the first examples of closed fibered hyperbolic 3-manifolds whose fundamental groups are distinguished from every other finitely generated, residually finite group by their finite quotients. One of the examples is also the first…

Abelian covers of hyperbolic $3$-manifolds are ubiquitous. We prove the local mixing theorem of the frame flow for abelian covers of closed hyperbolic $3$-manifolds. We obtain a classification theorem for measures invariant under the…

We study stringy modifications of $T^3$-fibered manifolds, where the fiber undergoes a monodromy in the T-duality group. We determine the fibration data defining such T-folds from a geometric model, by using a map between the duality group…

This paper presents results concerning bifurcations of 2D piecewise-smooth vector fields. In particular, the generic unfoldings of codimension three fold-addle singularities of Filippov systems, where a boundary-saddle and a fold coincide,…

We develop some techniques to study the adiabatic limiting behaviour of Calabi-Yau metrics on the total space of a fibration, and obtain strong control near the singular fibres by imposing restrictions on the singularity types. We prove a…
