New geometric model for equivariant cohomotopy using bordism.

problem Identifying equivariant cohomotopy classes with fixed point bordism.
method Equivariant Pontrjagin-Thom construction for global quotient orbifolds.
result Recovery of Wasserman's construction and new perspective on equivariant bordism.

By results of Loeffler and Comezana, the Pontrjagin-Thom map from geometric G-equivariant bordism to homotopy theoretic equivariant bordism is injective for compact abelian G. If G = S^1 x ... x S^1, we prove that the associated fixed point square is a pull back square, thus confirming a recent conjecture of D. Sinha. …

Novikov initiated the study of the algebraic properties of quadratic forms over polynomial extensions by a far-reaching analogue of the Pontrjagin-Thom transversality construction of a Seifert surface of a knot and the infinite cyclic cover of the knot exterior. In this paper the analogy is applied to explain the relat…

We develop a theory of parametrized geometric cobordism by introducing smooth Thom stacks. This requires identifying and constructing a smooth representative of the Thom functor acting on vector bundles equipped with extra geometric data, leading to a geometric refinement of the the Pontrjagin-Thom construction in stac…

We construct cohomology classes in the space of knots by considering a bundle over this space and "integrating along the fiber" classes coming from the cohomology of configuration spaces using a Pontrjagin-Thom construction. The bundle we consider is essentially the one considered by Bott and Taubes, who integrated dif…

A self-transverse immersion of a smooth manifold M^{k+2} in R^{2k+2} has a double point self-intersection set which is the image of an immersion of a smooth surface, the double point self-intersection surface. We prove that this surface may have odd Euler characteristic if and only if k is congruent to 1 modulo 4 or k+…

In view of the Segal construction each category with a coherent operation gives rise to a cohomology theory. Similarly each open stable differential relation RR imposed on smooth maps of manifolds determines cohomology theories kk^* and hh^*; the cohomology theory kk^* describes invariants of solutions of RR, whil…

New framework solves string theory's RR-field tadpole cancellation problems.

problem Precise global nature of RR-field tadpole cancellation conditions in string theory.
method Formulated M-theory C-field on flat M-orientifolds using equivariant cohomotopy.
result Equivariant cohomotopy implies anomaly cancellation conditions for M-branes and D-branes.

Article constructs coassociative submanifolds in Joyce's G2G_2-manifolds.

problem Constructing coassociative submanifolds in Joyce's G2G_2-manifolds.
method Using Joyce's generalised Kummer construction, focusing on the critical region where the metric degenerates.
result The volume of the coassociatives shrinks to zero as the orbifold-limit is approached.

The twist construction is a geometric model of T-duality that includes constructions of nilmanifolds from tori. This paper shows how one-dimensional foliations on manifolds may be used in a shear construction, which in algebraic form builds certain solvable Lie groups from Abelian ones. We discuss other examples of geo…

We describe various constructions in Sasakian geometry. First we generalize the join construction of the first two authors to arbitrary Sasakian manifolds. We then give several examples, including ones which prove the existence of Sasakian-Einstein metrics on manifolds homeomorphic to S2×S5.S^2\times S^5. Then we use a gen…

method Generic definition of RKBS and reproducing kernel, continuous bilinear form, feature maps.
result Unified framework unifies existing RKBS constructions and develops representer theorems.

The paper constructs infinitely many surfaces with specific mean curvature.

problem Creating surfaces with prescribed mean curvature in the presence of a strictly stable minimal surface.
method Synthesizing ideas from previous constructions to create multiple surfaces.
result Infinitely many distinct surfaces with prescribed mean curvature are constructed.

We construct bi-invariant total orderings of residually torsion-free nilpotent groups by using Chen's iterated integrals. This construction can be seen as a generalization of the Magnus ordering of the free groups, and equivalent to the classical construction which uses an iteration of central extensions. Our geometric…

We introduce the cutting construction of possibly non-compact symplectic toric manifolds, in particular, toric symplectic cones that correspond to a weakly convex good cone. Since the symplectization of a toric contact manifold is a toric symplectic cone, we can also construct toric contact manifolds that correspond to…

We construct calibrated submanifolds of R^7 and R^8 by viewing them as total spaces of vector bundles and taking appropriate sub-bundles which are naturally defined using certain surfaces in R^4. We construct examples of associative and coassociative submanifolds of R^7 and of Cayley submanifolds of R^8. This construct…

result The constructed solutions are building blocks for singular solutions on Spin manifolds.

In this paper, we construct the index bundle gerbe of a family of self-adjoint Dirac-type operators, refining a construction of Segal. In a special case, we construct a geometric bundle gerbe called the caloron bundle gerbe, which comes with a natural connection and curving, and show that it is isomorphic to the analyt…

Springer varieties appear in both geometric representation theory and knot theory. Motivated by knot theory and categorification Khovanov provides a topological construction of (n/2,n/2)(n/2, n/2) Springer varieties. We extend Khovanov's construction to all two-row Springer varieties. Using the combinatorial and diagrammatic …
