Yang-Mills theory is growing at the interface between high energy physics and mathematics. It is well known that Yang-Mills theory and Gauge theory in general had a profound impact on the development of modern differential and algebraic…

Conformal invariance plays a significant role in many areas of Physics, such as conformal field theory, renormalization theory, turbulence, general relativity. Naturally, it also plays an important role in geometry: theory of Riemannian…

The Jones-Witten invariants can be generalized for non-singular smooth vector fields with invariant probability measure on 3-manifolds, giving rise to new invariants of dynamical systems [22]. After a short survey of cohomological field…

This PhD thesis aims at describing the applications of noncommutative geometry to particle physics and quantum field theory. It includes a brief survey of the basic principles and definitions of noncommutative geometry such as spectral…

The foundations of matrix geometry are discussed, which provides the basis for recent progress on the effective geometry and gravity in Yang-Mills matrix models. Basic examples lead to a notion of embedded noncommutative spaces (branes)…

Motivated by mirror symmetry and the enumeration of holomorphic disks, we construct the theory of Gromov-Witten invariants in the setting of non-archimedean analytic geometry. We build on our previous works on derived non-archimedean…

Twisted four-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory famously gives a useful point of view on the Donaldson and Seiberg-Witten invariants of four-manifolds. In this paper we generalize the construction to include a path integral…

We study Coulomb branch (``u-plane'') integrals for $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric $SU(2),SO(3)$ Yang-Mills theory on 4-manifolds $X$ of $b_1(X)>0, b_2^+(X)=1$. Using wall-crossing arguments we derive expressions for the Donaldson…

Polyfold theory, as developed by Hofer, Wysocki, and Zehnder, is a relatively new approach to resolving transversality issues that arise in the study of $J$-holomorphic curves in symplectic geometry. This approach has recently led to a…

I review some recent results on four-manifold invariants which have been obtained in the context of topological quantum field theory. I focus on three different aspects: (a) the computation of correlation functions, which give explicit…

In this paper we will survey some recent developments in the last decade or so on variation of Geometric Invariant Theory and its applications to Birational Geometry such as the weak Factorization Theorems of nonsingular projective…

We introduce new local gauge invariant variables for N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, explicitly parameterizing the physical Hilbert space of the theory. We show that these gauge invariant variables have a geometrical interpretation,…

The purpose of this paper is to give a self-contained exposition of the Atiyah-Bott picture for the Yang-Mills equation over Riemann surfaces with an emphasis on the analogy to finite dimensional geometric invariant theory. The main…

In low dimensional topology, we have some invariants defined by using solutions of some nonlinear elliptic operators. The invariants could be understood as Euler class or degree in the ordinary cohomology, in infinite dimensional setting.…

The use of geometric invariants has recently played an important role in the solution of classification problems in non-commutative ring theory. We construct geometric invariants of non-commutative projectivizations, a significant class of…

This is a research announcement on what is best termed `nonlocal' methods in mathematics. (This is not to be confused with global analysis.) The nonlocal formulation of physics in \cite{principia} points to a fresh viewpoint in mathematics:…

Shape analysis and compuational anatomy both make use of sophisticated tools from infinite-dimensional differential manifolds and Riemannian geometry on spaces of functions. While comprehensive references for the mathematical foundations…

These notes provide an introduction to the noncommutative matrix geometry which arises within matrix models of Yang-Mills type. Starting from basic examples of compact fuzzy spaces, a general notion of embedded noncommutative spaces…

This article surveys invariants of four-manifolds and their relation to Donaldson-Witten theory, and other topologically twisted Yang-Mills theories. The article is written for the second edition of the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics,…

We give a new proof of the existence of nontrivial quasimeromorphic mappings on a smooth Riemannian manifold, using solely the intrinsic geometry of the manifold.
