Implementing an idea due to John Baez and James Dolan we define new invariants of Whitney stratified manifolds by considering the homotopy theory of smooth transversal maps. To each Whitney stratified manifold we assign transversal homotopy…

We generalize the standard product integral formalism to incorporate Grassmann valued matrices and show that the resulting supersymmetric product integrals provide a natural framework for describing supersymmetric Wilson Lines and Wilson…

We study basic properties of supermanifolds endowed with an even (odd) symplectic structure and a connection respecting this symplectic structure. Such supermanifolds can be considered as generalization of Fedosov manifolds to the…

We discuss the problem of finding an analogue of the concept of a topological space in supergeometry, motivated by a search for a procedure to compactify a supermanifold along odd coordinates. In particular, we examine the topologies…

This work surveys classical and recent advances around the existence of exotic differentiable structures on spheres and its connection to stable homotopy theory.

We extend the results given by Colbois, Dryden and El Soufi on the relationships between the eigenvalues of the Laplacian and an extrinsic invariant called intersection index, in two directions. First, we replace this intersection index by…

We generalise the Kreck-Stolz invariants s_2 and s_3 by defining a new invariant, the t-invariant, for quaternionic line bundles E over closed spin-manifolds M of dimension 4k-1 with H^3(M; \Q) = 0 such that c_2(E)\in H^4(M) is torsion. The…

An analogue of the Stefan-Sussmann Theorem on manifolds with boundary is proven for normal distributions. These distributions contain vectors transverse to the boundary along its entirety. Plain integral manifolds are not enough to…

The methods of nonstandard analysis are applied to algebra and number theory. We study nonstandard Dedekind rings, for example an ultraproduct of the ring of integers of a number field. Such rings possess a rich structure and have…

Mixed anomalies, higher form symmetries, two-group symmetries and non-invertible symmetries have proved to be useful in providing non-trivial constraints on the dynamics of quantum field theories. We study mixed anomalies involving discrete…

The maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four-dimensional Minkowski space is an exceptional model of mathematical physics. Even more so in the planar limit, where the theory is believed to be integrable. In particular, the…

In his recent investigation of a super Teichm\"uller space, Sachse (2007), based on work of Molotkov (1984), has proposed a theory of Banach supermanifolds using the `functor of points' approach of Bernstein and Schwarz. We prove that the…

We show that in finite dimensions, the Berezin expectation on an exterior algebra corresponds to the trace on a Clifford algebra, the correspondence being mediated by what is effectively a version of antinormal ordering.

We extend the theory of exterior differential systems from manifolds and their tangent bundles to Lie algebroids. In particular, we define the concept of an integral manifold of such an exterior differential system. We support our…

In this paper we give a re-normalization of the supertrace on the category of representations of Lie superalgebras of type I, by a kind of modified superdimension. The genuine superdimensions and supertraces are generically zero. However,…

We study the Dubrovin equation of the infinite-dimensional 2D Toda Dubrovin-Frobenius manifold at its irregular singularity. We first revisit the definition of the canonical coordinates, proving that they emerge naturally as generalized…

We study the exotic t-structure on the derived category of coherent sheaves on two-block Springer fibre (i.e. for a nilpotent matrix of type (m+n,n) in type A). The exotic t-structure has been defined by Bezrukavnikov and Mirkovic for…

Mixed 3-structures are odd-dimensional analogues of paraquaternionic structures. They appear naturally on lightlike hypersurfaces of almost paraquaternionic hermitian manifolds. We study invariant and anti-invariant submanifolds in a…

We give a general integration prescription for finite dimensional braided Hopf algebras, deriving the N-dimensional quantum superplane integral as an example. The transformation properties of the integral on the quantum plane are found. We…

We show that the noncommutative residue density, resp. the cut-off regularised integral are the only closed linear, resp. continuous closed linear forms on certain classes of symbols. This leads to alternative proofs of the uniqueness of…
