Corrected McLean's formulas for special submanifolds.

Researchers create metrics collapsing to a line, detailing near-fiber behavior.

McLean studied the deformations of compact special Lagrangian submanifolds, showing in particular that they come in moduli spaces whose dimension depends only on the topology of the submanifold. In this article we study the analogous problem for non-compact, "asymptotically conical" SL submanifolds, with respect to var…

R.C.McLean showed that the moduli space of nearby submanifolds of a smooth, compact, orientable special Lagrangian submanifold L in a Calabi-Yau manifold X is a smooth manifold and its tangent space at L is identified with the space of harmonic one forms on L. In this paper, we will extend this result from Calabi-Yau m…

Study on deforming calibrated submanifolds with boundary constraints.

This paper considers the natural geometric structure on the moduli space of deformations of a compact special Lagrangian submanifold $L^n$ of a Calabi-Yau manifold. From the work of McLean this is a smooth manifold with a natural $L^2$ metric. It is shown that the metric is induced from a local Lagrangian immersion int…

On compact manifolds which are not simply connected, we prove the existence of "fake" solutions to the optimal transportion problem. These maps preserve volume and arise as the exponential of a closed 1 form, hence appear geometrically like optimal transport maps. The set of such solutions forms a manifold with dimensi…

McLean proved that the moduli space of coassociative deformations of a compact coassociative 4-submanifold C in a G_2-manifold (M,phi,g) is a smooth manifold of dimension equal to b^2_+(C). In this paper, we show that the moduli space of coassociative deformations of a noncompact, asymptotically cylindrical coassociati…

Every closed, oriented, real analytic Riemannian 3-manifold can be isometrically embedded as a special Lagrangian submanifold of a Calabi-Yau 3-fold, even as the real locus of an antiholomorphic, isometric involution. Every closed, oriented, real analytic Riemannian 4-manifold whose bundle of self-dual 2-forms is trivi…

We discuss the deformation theory of special Lagrangian (SL) conifolds in complex space C^m. Conifolds are a key ingredient in the compactification problem for moduli spaces of compact SLs in Calabi-Yau manifolds. This category allows for the simultaneous presence of conical singularities and of non-compact, asymptotic…

The Arnold conjecture is proven for integers using Floer theory.

We prove that certain Riemannian manifolds can be isometrically embedded inside Calabi-Yau manifolds. For example we prove that given any real-analytic one parameter family of Riemannian metrics $g_t$ on a 3-dimensional manifold $Y$ with volume form independent of $t$ and with a real-analytic family of nowhere vanishin…

This is the extended version of the paper "Special Lagrangian conifolds, I: Moduli spaces", which discusses the deformation theory of special Lagrangian (SL) conifolds in complex space C^m. Conifolds are a key ingredient in the compactification problem for moduli spaces of compact SLs in Calabi-Yau manifolds. The conif…

Here we study the deformations of associative submanifolds inside a G_2 manifold M^7 with a calibration 3-form φ. A choice of 2-plane field Λon M (which always exits) splits the tangent bundle of M as a direct sum of a 3-dimensional associate bundle and a complex 4-plane bundle TM= E\oplus V, and this helps us to relat…

Let $M^7$ be a smooth manifold equipped with a $G_2$-structure $φ$, and $Y^3$ be an closed compact $φ$-associative submanifold. In \cite{McL}, R. McLean proved that the moduli space $\bm_{Y,φ}$ of the $φ$-associative deformations of $Y$ has vanishing virtual dimension. In this paper, we perturb $φ$ into a $G_2$-structu…

The exceptional holonomy groups are G2 in 7 dimensions, and Spin(7) in 8 dimensions. Riemannian manifolds with these holonomy groups are Ricci-flat. This is a survey paper on exceptional holonomy, in two parts. Part I introduces the exceptional holonomy groups, and explains constructions for compact 7- and 8-manifolds …

The paper predicts and explains the decay of stock anomaly performance over time.

By a theorem of Mclean, the deformation space of an associative submanifold Y of an integrable G_2 manifold (M,φ) can be identified with the kernel of a Dirac operator D:Ω^{0}(ν) -->Ω^{0}(ν) on the normal bundle νof Y. Here, we generalize this to the non-integrable case, and also show that the deformation space becomes…

In this paper, we study compact convex Lefschetz fibrations on compact convex symplectic manifolds (i.e., Liouville domains) of dimension $2n+2$ which are introduced by Seidel and later also studied by McLean. By a result of Akbulut-Arikan, the open book on $\partial W$, which we call \emph{convex open book}, induced b…

The paper is devoted to the problem of finding explicit combinatorial formulae for the Pontryagin classes. We discuss two formulae, the classical Gabrielov-Gelfand-Losik formula based on investigation of configuration spaces and the local combinatorial formula obtained by the author in 2004. The latter formula is based…

Note on new cancellation formulas for manifolds.

The study identifies types of manifolds using variational formulas and integral-differential formulas.

The main result of the present paper is a coincidence formula for foliated manifolds. To prove this we establish Kuenneth formula, Poincare duality and intersection product in the context of tangential de Rham cohomology and homology of tangential currents. We apply the formula to get a dynamical Lefschetz formula for …

It has been shown that the Alvarez-Gaum$\mathrm{\acute{e}}$-Witten miraculous anomaly cancellation formula in type IIB superstring theory and its various generalizations can be derived from modularity of certain characteristic forms.
