Researchers clarify modular group representations and vertex operator algebras for 3d invariants.
problem Understanding the full set of 3d invariants and their modular properties.
method Introducing supersymmetric defects and constructing cone vertex operator algebras.
result The full vector-valued quantum modular form for \(\widetilde{
m SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\) captures all \(\hat Z\)-invariants of a given three-manifold.
The groups of differential characters of Cheeger and Simons admit a natural multiplicative structure. The map given by the squares of degree 2k differential characters reduces to a homomorphism of ordinary cohomology groups. We prove that the homomorphism factors through the Steenrod squaring operation of degree 2k. A …
We study tori which are cyclic covers of the standard torus, that is, the deck transformation group of the covering map is cyclic. These covering tori can be parametrized in a natural way and we show that being cyclic is equivalent to certain arithmetic condition on these parameters. There is a natural $\mathrm{SL}(2,\…
For a closed smooth manifold M admitting a symplectic structure, we define a smooth topological invariant Z(M) using almost-Kähler metrics, i.e. Riemannian metrics compatible with symplectic structures. We also introduce Z(M,[[ω]]) depending on symplectic deformation equivalence class [[ω]]. We first prove tha…
New invariants for 3-manifolds derived from supergroup representations.
problem Developing invariants for 3-manifolds using supergroup analogues.
method Introducing supergroup analogues of 3-manifold invariants for superunitary groups, focusing on SU(2|1). Calculating q-series for specific 3-manifolds and studying their properties.
result Explicit calculation and study of q-series for certain 3-manifolds, providing a formula relating new invariants to quantum invariants.
We study 4d superconformal indices for a large class of N=1 superconformal quiver gauge theories realized combinatorially as a bipartite graph or a set of "zig-zag paths" on a two-dimensional torus T^2. An exchange of loops, which we call a "double Yang-Baxter move", gives the Seiberg duality of the gauge theory, and t…
The current article stems from our study on the asymptotic behavior of holomorphic isometric embeddings of the Poincaré disk into bounded symmetric domains. As a first result we prove that any holomorphic curve exiting the boundary of a bounded symmetric domain Ω must necessarily be asymptotically totally geodesic. A…
