Cyclification of orbifolds explained in cohesive higher topos theory.
We show that there is a fully faithful embedding of the category of manifolds with corners into the Cahiers topos, one of the premier models for Synthetic Differential Geometry. This embedding is shown to have a number of nice properties, such as preservation of open covers and transverse fibre products. We develop a t…
We formulate differential cohomology and Chern-Weil theory -- the theory of connections on fiber bundles and of gauge fields -- abstractly in the context of a certain class of higher toposes that we call "cohesive". Cocycles in this differential cohomology classify higher principal bundles equipped with cohesive struct…
Proof confirms preservation of projective limits in synthetic differential geometry.
It is well known that the category of Frolicher spaces and smooth mappings is Cartesian closed. The principal objective in this paper is to show that the full subcategory of Frolicher spaces that believe in fantasy that every Weil functor is really an exponentiation by the corresponding infinitesimal object is also Car…
We develop an approach to construct Poisson algebras for non-linear scalar field theories that is based on the Cahiers topos model for synthetic differential geometry. In this framework the solution space of the field equation carries a natural smooth structure and, following Zuckerman's ideas, we can endow it with a p…
Extends field theory foundations to infinitesimal spaces, simplifying complex concepts.
Let $\imath: M\to \RR^{p+2}$ be a smooth embedding from a connected, oriented, closed -dimesional smooth manifold to $\RR^{p+2}$, then there is a spin structure on canonically induced from the embedding. If an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism of extends over as an o…
In this paper, we study the problem of using representation learning to assist information diffusion prediction on graphs. In particular, we aim at estimating the probability of an inactive node to be activated next in a cascade. Despite the success of recent deep learning methods for diffusion, we find that they often…
This article constructs the moduli stack of torsionfree -jet-structures in homotopy type theory with one monadic modality. This yields a construction of this moduli stack for any -topos equipped with any stable factorization systems. In the intended applications of this theory, the factorization systems are …
Study moduli spaces of elliptic PDEs using derived -geometry.
Unified classification of equivariant principal bundles using higher homotopy theory.
Frolicher spaces and smooth mappings form a cartesian closed category. It was shown in our previous paper [Far East Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 35 (2009), 211-233] that its full subcategory of Weil exponentiable Frolicher spaces is cartesian closed. By emancipating microlinearity from within a well-adapted model …
Homotopy theory of differentiable sheaves connects manifold properties to underlying homotopy types.
This paper uses sheaf theory to model virtual knots geometrically.
Introduces a new geometric framework for field theories.
The paper gives a categorical approach to generalized manifolds such as orbit spaces and leaf spaces of foliations. It is suggested to consider these spaces as sets equipped with some additional structure which generalizes the notion of atlas. The approach is compared with the known ones that use the Grothendieck topos…
In category theory, logic and geometry cooperate with each other producing what is known under the name Synthetic Differential Geometry (SDG). The main difference between SDG and standard differential geometry is that the intuitionistic logic of SDG enforces the existence of infinitesimal objects which essentially modi…
In this article, we derive many properties of étale stacks in various contexts, and prove that étale stacks may be characterized categorically as those stacks that arise as prolongations of stacks on a site of spaces and local homeomorphisms. Moreover, we show that the bicategory of étale differentiable stacks and loca…
New algorithm optimizes DAGs by swapping node pairs to avoid cycles.
The paper shows deep connections between exotic smoothings of small R^4, noncommutative algebras of foliations and quantization. At first, based on the close relation of foliations and noncommutative C*-algebras we show that cyclic cohomology invariants characterize some small exotic R^4. Certain exotic smooth R^4's de…

Explains model structures for higher orbifolds and applies them to quantum cohomology.
Reductions of higher tangent bundles of Lie groupoids provide natural examples of geometric structures which we would like to call higher algebroids. Such objects can be also constructed abstractly starting from an arbitrary almost Lie algebroid. A higher algebroid is, in principle, a graded bundle equipped with a diff…
Generalized Fáry's theorem to higher dimensions.
Higher order higher spin operators are generalizations of -powers of the Dirac operator. In this paper, we study higher order higher spin operators defined on some conformally flat manifolds, namely cylinders and Hopf manifolds. We will also construct the kernels of these operators on these manifolds.
Holonomies match for higher local systems and principal 2-bundles.
This note discusses the higher K-energy functionals which were defined by Bando and Mabuchi, and integrate higher Futaki invariants. Two new formulas for the higher K-energy functionals are given, and the second K-energy is shown to be related to Donaldson's Lagrangian applied to metrics on the tangent bundle.
Many physical theories, including notably string theory, require non-abelian higher gauge fields defining higher holonomy. Previous approaches to such higher connections on categorified principal bundles require these to be fake flat. This condition, however, renders them locally gauge equivalent to connections on abel…
In this thesis, we employ simplicial methods to study actions, principal bundles, and bibundles of higher groupoids. Roughly, we use Kan fibrations to model actions of higher groupoids, we use pairs of a Kan fibration and a special acyclic fibration to model principal bundles of higher groupoids, we use inner Kan fibra…

Higher gauge theory via differential nonabelian cohomology
The paper encourages Kleinian group thinking for higher rank Lie groups.
We develop a description of higher gauge theory with higher groupoids as gauge structure from first principles. This approach captures ordinary gauge theories and gauged sigma models as well as their categorifications on a very general class of (higher) spaces comprising presentable differentiable stacks, as e.g. orbif…
Study of higher spin Killing spinors on 3D manifolds, proving rigidity and providing explicit expressions.
By developing a generalized cobordism theory, we explore the higher global symmetries and higher anomalies of quantum field theories and interacting fermionic/bosonic systems in condensed matter. Our essential math input is a generalization of Thom-Madsen-Tillmann spectra, Adams spectral sequence, and Freed-Hopkins's t…
For certain classes of knots we define geometric invariants called higher-order genera. Each of these invariants is a refinement of the slice genus of a knot. We find lower bounds for the higher-order genera in terms of certain von Neumann -invariants, which we call higher-order signatures. The higher-order genera o…
