The objective of this paper is to clarify the relationships between the quantum D-module and equivariant Floer theory. Equivariant Floer theory was introduced by Givental in his paper ``Homological Geometry''. He conjectured that the quantum D-module of a symplectic manifold is isomorphic to the equivariant Floer cohom…

We study (i) asymptotic behaviour of wild harmonic bundles, (ii) the relation between semisimple meromorphic flat connections and wild harmonic bundles, (iii) the relation between wild harmonic bundles and polarized wild pure twistor $D$-modules. As an application, we show the hard Lefschetz theorem for algebraic semis…

Worldsheet skein D-module for Hopf link conormal uniquely determines partition functions.

We propose a new point of view on quantum cohomology, strongly motivated by the work of Givental and Dubrovin, but closer to differential geometry than the existing approaches. The central object is the D-module which "quantizes" a commutative algebra associated to the (uncompactified) space of rational curves. A stand…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of tame harmonic bundles. First of all, we prove a local freeness of the prolongation by an increasing order. Then we obtain the polarized mixed twistor structure. As one of the applications, we obtain the norm estimate of holomorphic or flat sections by weight filtrations of the monod…

Study on flat connections with controlled irregularity.

This paper generalizes L2 cohomology theory for complex manifolds.

In the previous paper, the author defined equivariant Floer cohomology for a complete intersection in a toric variety and showed that it is isomorphic to the small quantum D-module after a mirror transformation when the first Chern class c_1(M) of the tangent bundle is nef. In this paper, even when c_1(M) is not nef, w…

The paper uses non-abelian Hodge theory to generalize Kodaira vanishing theorems.

Proves finiteness and holonomicity of skein modules for 3-manifolds.

We propose two new approaches to the Tannakian Galois groups of holonomic D-modules on abelian varieties. The first is an interpretation in terms of principal bundles given by the Fourier-Mukai transform, which shows that they are almost connected. The second constructs a microlocalization functor relating characterist…

Develops quantum character theory for complex reductive groups.

In the bordered Floer theory, gluing thickened torus of positive meridional Dehn twist to the boundary of a knot complement result in the knot complement of increased framing. For a fixed knot K, we construct a direct system of positively framed knot complements and study the direct limit. We also study the morphism sp…

Let $L$ be a local system on a smooth quasi projective variety over $\cnum$. We see that $L$ is semisimple if and only if there exists a tame pure imaginary pluri-harmonic metric on $L$. Although it is a rather minor refinement of a result of Jost and Zuo, it is significant for the study of harmonic bundles and pure tw…

A sequence of rational functions in a variable $q$ is $q$-holonomic if it satisfies a linear recursion with coefficients polynomials in $q$ and $q^n$. We prove that the degree of a $q$-holonomic sequence is eventually a quadratic quasi-polynomial. Our proof uses differential Galois theory (adapting proofs regarding hol…

This article is one of a series of papers. For this decade, the Dirac operator on a submanifold has been studied as a restriction of the Dirac operator in $n$-dimensional euclidean space $\EE^n$ to a surface or a space curve as physical models. These Dirac operators are identified with operators of the Frenet-Serret re…

Frobenius manifold structures on the spaces of abelian integrals were constructed by I. Krichever. We use D-modules, deformation theory, and homological algebra to give a coordinate-free description of these structures. It turns out that the tangent sheaf multiplication has a cohomological origin, while the Levi-Civita…

Consider a complex analytic manifold $X$ and a coherent Lie subalgebra $\shi$ of the Lie algebra of complex vector fields on $X$. By using a natural $\shd_X$-module $\shm_\shi$ naturally associated to $\shi$ and the ring (in the derived sense) $\rhom[\shd_X](\shm_\shi,\shm_\shi)$, we associate integers which measure th…

We present a novel approach to the classification of conformally equivariant differential operators on spinors in the case of homogeneous conformal geometry. It is based on the classification of solutions for a vector-valued system of partial differential equations, associated to $\mathcal{D}$-modules for the homogeneo…

The manifold $\mathcal{M}$ of star-shaped curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is considered via the theory of connections on vector bundles, and cyclic $\mathcal{D}$-modules. The appropriate notion of an "integral curve" (i.e. certain admissible deformations) on $\mathcal{M}$ is defined, and the resulting space of admissible defo…

The quantum cohomology algebra of the (full) flag manifold is a fundamental example in quantum cohomology theory, with connections to combinatorics, algebraic geometry, and integrable systems. Using a differential geometric approach, we give an algorithm for computing the multiplicative structure constants of this alge…

In "Isomonodromy aspects of the tt* equations of Cecotti and Vafa I. Stokes data" (arxiv:1209.2045) we described all smooth solutions of the two-function tt*-Toda equations in terms of asymptotic data, holomorphic data, and monodromy data. In this supplementary article we focus on the holomorphic data and its interpret…

We study the connection between topological strings and contact homology recently proposed in the context of knot invariants. In particular, we establish the proposed relation between the Gromov-Witten disk amplitudes of a Lagrangian associated to a knot and augmentations of its contact homology algebra. This also impl…

T. Mochizuki constructs a theory of variations of wild Hodge structure for which the underlying flat connection can have irregular singularities at infinity. He extends in this way the correspondence of Corlette and Simpson between irreducible flat bundles and stables Higgs bundles, taking into account objects with irr…

The purpose of this note is to present a short elementary proof of a theorem due to Faltings and Laumon, saying that the global nilpotent cone is a Lagrangian substack in the cotangent bundle of the moduli space of G-bundles on a complex compact curve. This result plays a crucial role in the Geometric Langlands program…

The paper develops a bordered $\mathit{HF}^-$ theory using link surgery formula.

We construct and study a closed, two-dimensional, quasi-topological (0,2) gauged sigma model with target space a smooth G-manifold, where G is any compact and connected Lie group. When the target space is a flag manifold of simple G, and the gauge group is a Cartan subgroup thereof, the perturbative model describes, pu…

The paper proves a Hard Lefschetz Theorem for push-forwards of polarized twistor modules.

We explain how, starting with a stack of D4-branes ending on an NS5-brane in type IIA string theory, one can, via T-duality and the topological-holomorphic nature of the relevant worldvolume theories, relate (i) the lattice models realized by Costello's 4d Chern-Simons theory, (ii) links in 3d analytically-continued Ch…

Combinatorial approach to compute satellite knot invariants using graph theory.

In this paper we explain how non-abelian Hodge theory allows one to compute the $L^2$ cohomology or middle perversity higher direct images of harmonic bundles and twistor D-modules in a purely algebraic manner. Our main result is a new algebraic description for the fiberwise $L^2$ cohomology of a tame harmonic bundle o…

For this quarter of century, differential operators in a lower dimensional submanifold embedded or immersed in real $n$-dimensional euclidean space $\EE^n$ have been studied as quantum mechanical models, which are realized as restriction of the operators in $\EE^n$ to the submanifold. For this decade, the Dirac operato…

New knot polynomials derived from Nichols algebras and braided Hopf algebras.

We construct Heegaard Floer theory for 3-manifolds with connected boundary. The theory associates to an oriented, parametrized two-manifold a differential graded algebra. For a three-manifold with parametrized boundary, the invariant comes in two different versions, one of which (type D) is a module over the algebra an…

We construct a certain cross product of two copies of the braided dual $\tilde H$ of a quasitriangular Hopf algebra $H$, which we call the elliptic double $E_H$, and which we use to construct representations of the punctured elliptic braid group extending the well-known representations of the planar braid group attache…

The paper generalizes Hodge theory to semisimple local systems and proves a geometric Decomposition theorem.

We develop a global Poincaré residue formula to study period integrals of families of complex manifolds. For any compact complex manifold $X$ equipped with a linear system $V^*$ of generically smooth CY hypersurfaces, the formula expresses period integrals in terms of a canonical global meromorphic top form on $X$. Two…

In the present article, we combine some techniques in the harmonic analysis together with the geometric approach given by modules over sheaves of rings of twisted differential operators ($\mathcal{D}$-modules), and reformulate the composition series and branching problems for objects in the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand pa…

The paper calculates a formula for knot complements using holomorphic curves.

Develops derived differential geometry for supermanifolds.

Let $U$ be a smooth $\mathbb C$-scheme, $f:U\to\mathbb A^1$ a regular function, and $X=$Crit$(f)$ the critical locus, as a $\mathbb C$-subscheme of $U$. Then one can define the "perverse sheaf of vanishing cycles" $PV_{U,f}$, a perverse sheaf on $X$. This paper proves four main results: (a) Suppose $Φ:U\to U$ is an iso…
