Article studies symmetry in smooth vector bundles using advanced operations.

We investigate some topological properties of a normal functor $H$ introduced earlier by Radul which is some functorial compactification of the Hartman--Mycielski construction HM. We prove that the pair ($HX$, HM$Y$) is homeomorphic to the pair $(Q,σ)$ for each nondegenerated metrizable compactum $X$ and each dense $σ$…

The construction of topological index maps for equivariant families of Dirac operators requires factoring a general smooth map through maps of a very simple type: zero sections of vector bundles, open embeddings, and vector bundle projections. Roughly speaking, a normally non-singular map is a map together with such a …

This paper investigates the space of codimension zero embeddings of a Poincare duality space in a disk. One of our main results exhibits a tower that interpolates from the space of Poincare immersions to a certain space of "unlinked" Poincare embeddings. The layers of this tower are described in terms of the coefficien…

Lie algebras of quotient groups defined under specific conditions.

Study normal bundle and deformation to get new pushforward maps.

Manifold calculus of functors, due to M. Weiss, studies contravariant functors from the poset of open subsets of a smooth manifold to topological spaces. We introduce "multivariable" manifold calculus of functors which is a generalization of this theory to functors whose domain is a product of categories of open sets. …

A modular functor is constructed from non-semisimple 3d TFTs.

Paper constructs infinitely many tangent functors on diffeological spaces.

The category of small covariant functors from simplicial sets to simplicial sets supports the projective model structure. In this paper we construct various localizations of the projective model structure and also give a variant for functors from simplicial sets to spectra. We apply these model categories in the study …

Three functors link Lorentzian geometry concepts.

The study explores how different Grothendieck topologies and functors between categories preserve locality.

We study the functor of points and the local functor of points (here called the Weil--Berezin functor) for smooth and holomorphic supermanifolds, providing characterization theorems and fully discussing the representability issues. In the end we examine applications to differential calculus including the transitivity t…

In terms of category theory, the Gromov homotopy principle for a set valued functor $F$ asserts that the functor $F$ can be induced from a homotopy functor. Similarly, we say that the bordism principle for an abelian group valued functor $F$ holds if the functor $F$ can be induced from a (co)homology functor. We examin…

Parity functors assign labels to knot diagrams based on crossing parity.

The theory of product preserving functors and Weil functors is partly extended to infinite dimensional manifolds, using the theory of $C^\infty$-algebras.

We construct the Weil functor $T^A$ corresponding to a general Weil algebra $A = K \oplus N$: this is a functor from the category of manifolds over a general topological base field or ring $K$ (of arbitrary characteristic) to the category of manifolds over $A$. This result simultaneously generalizes results known for o…

In this article, we introduce the notion of a functor on coarse spaces being coarsely excisive- a coarse analogue of the notion of a functor on topological spaces being excisive. Further, taking cones, a coarsely excisive functor yields a topologically excisive functor, and for coarse topological spaces there is an ass…

We construct and study a new family of TQFTs based on nilpotent highest weight representations of quantum sl(2) at a root of unity indexed by generic complex numbers. This extends to cobordisms the non-semi-simple invariants defined in (arXiv:1202.3553) including the Kashaev invariant of links. Here the modular categor…

In this paper, we extend the notion of modular functor and fusion category to what we called $G$ equivariant modular functor and $G$ equivariant fusion category, where $G$ is a finite group, and establish a correspondence between between these notions.

Proves Hodge structures on modular functors, providing formulas for Hodge numbers.

Cheptea, Habiro and Massuyeau constructed the LMO functor, which is defined on a certain category of cobordisms between two surfaces with at most one boundary component. In this paper, we extend the LMO functor to the case of any number of boundary components, and our functor reflects relations among the parts correspo…

The extension functors between categories of Cartan geometries can be used to define different categories of Cartan geometries with additional morphisms. The Cartan geometries modeled on skeletons can be used for the description of such categories of Cartan geometries and therefore we develop the theory of Cartan geome…

Researchers create functors to match colored homologies of knots and links.

Study infinitesimal deformations of Lie algebroid pairs.

The article is devoted to the $q_R$-conformal modular functors, which being ``deformations'' of the conformal modular functor (the projective representation of the category $Train(Diff_+(S^1))$, the train of the group $Diff_+(S^1)$ of all orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of a circle) in the class of all projectiv…

Generalizes string-net modular functors to non-spherical categories.

Parallel transport of a connection in a smooth fibre bundle yields a functor from the path groupoid of the base manifold into a category that describes the fibres of the bundle. We characterize functors obtained like this by two notions we introduce: local trivializations and smooth descent data. This provides a way to…

We construct a weak 2-functor from the bicategory of oriented tangles to a bicategory of Lagrangian cospans. This functor simultaneously extends the Burau representation of the braid groups, its generalization to tangles due to Turaev and the first-named author, and the Alexander module of 1 and 2-dimensional links.

Let G be a general (not necessarily finite dimensional compact) Lie group, let g be its Lie algebra, let Cg be the cone on g in the category of differential graded Lie algebras, and consider the functor which assigns to a chain complex V the V-valued total de Rham complex of G. We describe the G-equivariant de Rham coh…

In this article we extend evaluations of the Kauffman bracket on regular isotopy classes of knots and links to a variety of functors defined on the category of framed tangles. We show that many such functors exist, and that they correspond up to equivalence to bilinear forms on free, finitely-generated modules over com…

We establish a relation between smooth 2-functors defined on the path 2-groupoid of a smooth manifold and differential forms on this manifold. This relation can be understood as a part of a dictionary between fundamental notions from category theory and differential geometry. We show that smooth 2-functors appear in se…

We describe a symplectization functor from the Poisson category to the symplectic "category" and we study some of its properties.

We construct a covariant functor from the topological torus bundles to the so-called Cuntz-Krieger algebras; the functor maps homeomorphic bundles into the stably isomorphic Cuntz-Krieger algebras. It is shown, that the K-theory of the Cuntz-Krieger algebra encodes torsion of the first homology group of the bundle. We …

The paper glosses different forms of an introducing of higher order tangent-like functors, especially functors derived from higher order nonholonomic tangent functors. A special attention is devoted to higher order osculating bundles: their identification with higher order tangent bundles is demonstrated as the main re…

It is known that there exists a natural functor $Φ$ from Lie supergroups to super Harish-Chandra pairs. A functor going backwards, that associates a Lie supergroup with each super Harish-Chandra pair, yielding an equivalence of categories, was found by Koszul [18]; this result was later extended by other authors, to di…

Model for assembly map of bordism-invariant functors.

For an arbitrary Riemannian manifold $X$ and Hermitian vector bundles $E$ and $F$ over $X$ we define the notion of the normal symbol of a pseudodifferential operator $P$ from $E$ to $F$. The normal symbol of $P$ is a certain smooth function from the cotangent bundle $T^*X$ to the homomorphism bundle $Hom (E,F)$ and dep…

Perhaps the most important contribution of gauge theory to general mathematics is to point out the importance of association functors. Emphasizing category theory we characterize association functors by two of their natural properties and use this characterization to establish an equivalence between the category of pri…

A model structure is defined on the category of derived differentiable schemes, and it is used to analyse the truncation 2-functor from derived manifolds to d-manifolds. It is proved that the induced 1-functor between the homotopy categories is full and essentially surjective, giving a bijection between the sets of equ…
