Develops a Thom-Mather theory for corank 1 frontals.

The paper explores density of stable mappings and their properties.

This article is devoted to the study of smooth desingularization, which are customary employed in the definition of De Rham Intersection Cohomology with differential forms. In this paper we work with the category of Thom-Mather simple spaces. We construct a functor which sends each Thom-Mather simple space into a smoot…

The paper (in French) exemplifies graphically a solution of the heat equation which is a 1-dimensional unfolding of an elliptic umbilic catastrophe. The example is due to James Damon and adapts Thom-Mather's singularity theory to multiscale models of scale-space analysis in image processing.

In a previous work we proved the uniqueness and functoriality of primary unfoldings on simple Thom-Mather spaces, which is a functor to the category of smooth manifolds. In this article we extend these results for any stratified Thom-Mather pseudomanifold with arbitary finite length, through a new kind of intermediate …

Extends cohomology to incomplete Riemannian manifolds.

We develop a generalization to non-Witt spaces of the intersection homology theory of Goresky-MacPherson. The second author has described the self-dual sheaves compatible with intersection homology, and the other authors have described a generalization of Cheeger's L2 de Rham cohomology. In this paper we extend both of…

This article is a survey of recent work of the author, together with Markus Banagl, Eric Leichtnam, Rafe Mazzeo, and Paolo Piazza, on the Hodge theory of stratified spaces. We discuss how to resolve a Thom-Mather stratified space to a manifold with corners with an iterated fibration structure and the generalization of …

The main result of this paper is a sufficient condition in order to have a compact Thom-Mather stratified pseudomanifold endowed with a $\hat{c}$-iterated edge metric on its regular part $q$-parabolic. Moreover, besides stratified pseudomanifolds, the $q$-parabolicity of other classes of singular spaces, such as compac…

The main result is a version of Morse inequalities for the minimum and maximum ideal boundary conditions of the de Rham complex on strata of compact Thom-Mather stratifications, endowed with adapted metrics. An adaptation of the analytic method of Witten is used in the proof, as well as certain perturbation of the harm…

We consider equivalence relations among smooth map germs with respect to geometry of G-structures on the target space germ. These equivalence relations are natural generalization of right-left equivalence (i.e., A-equivalence) in the sense of Thom-Mather depending on geometric structures on the target space germ. Unfor…

Study on positive scalar curvature on complex spaces with specific conditions.

The paper studies cohomology on incomplete manifolds and stratified spaces.

Given a compact stratified pseudomanifold with a Thom-Mather stratification and a class of riemannian metrics over its regular part, we study the relationships between the $L^{2}$ de Rham and Hodge cohomology and the intersection cohomology of $X$ associated to some perversities. More precisely, to a kind of metric whi…

Let $M_Σ$ be an $n$-dimensional Thom-Mather stratified space of depth $1$. We denote by $βM$ the singular locus and by $L$ the associated link. In this paper we study the problem of when such a space can be endowed with a wedge metric of positive scalar curvature. We relate this problem to recent work on index theory o…

Extends G-signature theorem to Witt G-pseudomanifolds.

New method defines Gysin maps for stratified spaces, preserving signatures.

Study intersection homotopy groups in coarsenings of CS sets.

John Lott has computed an integer-valued signature for the orbit space of a compact orientable $(4k+1)$ manifold with a semi-free $S^1$-action, which is a homotopy invariant of that space, but he did not construct a Dirac type operator which has this signature as its index. In this Thesis, we construct such operator on…

Survey of Floer theories and their connections.

Lectures on topological field theories and differential cohomology.

The paper defines strong emergence in field theories and proves it exists between certain theories.

This is the first paper in a series introducing a generalized Fredholm theory in a new class of smooth spaces called polyfolds. The theory will be illustrated in upcoming papers by applications to Floer Theory, Gromov-Witten Theory and Symplectic Field Theory.

Unified Higgs bundle vacua from M-theory on Spin(7) spaces.

Researchers find new $G_2$-conifolds in $M$-theory with potential field theory duals.

We survey three different ways in which K-theory in all its forms enters quantum field theory. In Part 1 we give a general argument which relates topological field theory in codimension two with twisted K-theory, and we illustrate with some finite models. Part 2 is a review of pfaffians of Dirac operators, anomalies, a…

Distributivity in algebraic structures appeared in many contexts such as in quasigroup theory, semigroup theory and algebraic knot theory. In this paper we give a survey of distributivity in quasigroup theory and in quandle theory.

New theory captures framing anomaly in gauge theory.

Survey on algebraic K- and L-theory conjecture.

Study pin manifolds using Clifford linear Dirac operator and KO-theory.

Main mathematical applications of Frobenius manifolds are in the theory of Gromov - Witten invariants, in singularity theory, in differential geometry of the orbit spaces of reflection groups and of their extensions, in the hamiltonian theory of integrable hierarchies. The theory of Frobenius manifolds establishes rema…

In this paper, we construct a new homology theory for semi-groups satisfying the self distributivity axiom or the idempotency axiom. Next, we consider the geometric realization corresponding to the homology theory. We continue with the comparison of this homology theory with one term and two term (rack) homology theori…

Quantum field theory uses Lorentzian bordisms to describe time evolution.

This thesis proposes a global geometric formulation of Extended Field Theories.

This is the revised version of the second paper in a series introducing a generalized Fredholm theory in a new class of smooth spaces called polyfolds. The theory will be illustrated in upcoming papers by applications to Floer Theory, Gromov-Witten Theory and Symplectic Field Theory. Some proofs have been improved and …

The paper quantizes hybrid topological-holomorphic field theories on $\mathbb{R}^m imes \mathbb{C}^n$.

3D dual field theories for Virasoro minimal models constructed using Seifert fiber spaces.

We propose a new partially topological theory in three dimensions which couples Chern-Simons theory to matter. The 3-manifolds needed for this construction admit transverse holomorphic foliation (THF). The theory depends only on the choice of such a structure, but not on a choice of metric and in this sense, it is topo…

We show that Chern-Simons gauge theory with appropriate cutoffs is equivalent, term by term in perturbation theory, to a Fermionic theory with a nonlocal interaction term. When an additional cutoff is placed on the Fermi fields, this Fermionic theory gives rise to a convergent perturbation expansion. This leads us to c…

Identifies all perturbative vacua in bosonic string theory.

In this short note we show how Dubrovin's integrable hierarchies, defined using the Gromov-Witten theory of a closed symplectic manifold, generalizes to Hamiltonian Floer theory. In particular, we show how the required generalization of the PSS isomorphism, relating Gromov-Witten theory and Hamiltonian Floer theory, ca…
