Established a stable cohomotopy refinement for Pin(2) monopole invariants.

The monopole map defines an element in an equivariant stable cohomotopy group refining the Seiberg-Witten invariant. This first of two articles presents the details of the definition of the stable cohomotopy invariant and discusses its relation to the integer valued Seiberg-Witten invariant.

The study explores stable diffeomorphism groups in 4-manifolds using localisation and invariants.

This is a survey article on the stable cohomotopy refinement of Seiberg-Witten invariants containing also new results, for example: - Stable cohomotopy groups describe path components of certain mapping spaces. - Relation of stable cohomotopy invariants to Seiberg-Witten invariants without restriction on Betti numbers.…

Survey on invariant quasimorphisms and their relation to stable commutator length.

Uniformly K-stable toric varieties are asymptotically Chow stable if their Futaki-Ono invariant vanishes.

Proposes a method to learn stable invariant sets in dynamical systems.

We study the structure of the stable coefficients of the Jones polynomial of an alternating link. We start by identifying the first four stable coefficients with polynomial invariants of a (reduced) Tait graph of the link projection. This leads us to introduce a free polynomial algebra of invariants of graphs whose ele…

Two Heegaard Floer knot complexes are called stably equivalent if an acyclic complex can be added to each complex to make them filtered chain homotopy equivalent. Hom showed that if two knots are concordant, then their knot complexes are stably equivalent. Invariants of stable equivalence include the concordance invari…

We study the structure of the smooth manifold which is defined as the intersection of a stable manifold and an unstable manifold for an invariant Morse-Smale function.

Knots and links in 3-manifolds are studied by applying intersection invariants to singular concordances. The resulting link invariants generalize the Arf invariant, the mod 2 Sato-Levine invariants, and Milnor's triple linking numbers. Besides fitting into a general theory of Whitney towers, these invariants provide ob…

The study shows that several properties are not profinite invariants.

Polystable bundles on Kaehler manifolds are stable if their classes are stable.

The geometric Hopf invariant of a stable map F is a stable Z_2-equivariant map h(F) such that the stable Z_2-equivariant homotopy class of h(F) is the primary obstruction to F being homotopic to an unstable map. In this paper we express the geometric Hopf invariant of the Umkehr map F of an immersion f:M^m \to N^n in t…

Characterizes values of slice-torus invariants related to knot genus.

New invariants derived from random matrices for words in free groups.

In this paper a geometric approach toward stable homotopy groups of spheres, based on the Pontrjagin-Thom construction is proposed. From this approach a new proof of Hopf Invariant One Theorem by J.F.Adams for all dimensions except $15,31,63,127$ is obtained. It is proved that for $n>127$ in the stable homotopy group o…

Invariant counts maximum stable umbilic splits.

New method classifies spin 4-manifolds using Kervaire-Milnor invariant.

We will define a version of Seiberg-Witten-Floer stable homotopy types for a closed, oriented 3-manifold $Y$ with $b_1(Y) > 0$ and a spin-c structure $\mathfrak{c}$ on $Y$ with $c_1(\mathfrak{c})$ torsion under an assumption on $Y$. Using the Seiberg-Witten-Floer stable homotopy type, we will construct a gluing formula…

In this note we present a combinatorial link invariant that underlies some recent stable homotopy refinements of Khovanov homology of links. The invariant takes the form of a functor between two combinatorial 2-categories, modulo a notion of stable equivalence. We also develop some general properties of such functors.

SFB uses stable features to adapt unstable ones for better performance.

The main theorem describes the behaviour of the stable cohomotopy invariant defined in the first article (joint with M. Furuta) in this series of two under the operation of taking connected sums of four-manifolds: The invariant of a connected sum is the smash product (in the sense of equivariant spectra) of the invaria…

Squeezed knots are slices of minimal cobordisms; obstructions come from quantum knot invariants.

Revisits Pontryagin's proof of stable stems 0, 1, and 2.

We present an approach to Gromov-Witten invariants that works on arbitrary (closed) symplectic manifolds. We avoid genericity arguments and take into account singular curves in the very formulation. The method is by first endowing mapping spaces from (prestable) algebraic curves into the symplectic manifold with the st…

Study proves area estimates for stable capillary hypersurfaces with nonpositive Yamabe invariant.

Researchers prove a method to upgrade Morse-Bott homology to stable homotopy invariants.

The stable 4-genus of a knot K in 3-space is the limiting value of g_4(nK)/n, where g_4 denotes the 4-genus and n goes to infinity. This induces a seminorm on CQ, the concordance group tensored with the rational numbers. Basic properties of the stable genus are developed, as are examples focused on understanding the un…

Geometric Invariant Theory applied to Kähler manifolds yields analytic models for vector bundles.

We prove a product formula for $δ$-invariant and as an application, we show that product of K-(semi, poly)stable Fano varieties is also K-(semi, poly)stable.

Study virtual fundamental classes of derived manifolds, proving invariant vanishes.

In this paper, we determine the maximally stable, rotationally invariant domains on the catenoids $\cC_a$ (minimal surfaces invariant by rotations) in the Heisenberg group with a left-invariant metric. We show that these catenoids have Morse index at least 3 and we bound the index from above in terms of the parameter $…

New mathematical framework connects M-theory charges to stable homotopy groups.

Develops a graphical calculus for stable curvature invariants.

Using Furuta's idea of finite dimensional approximation in Seiberg-Witten theory, we refine Seiberg-Witten Floer homology to obtain an invariant of homology 3-spheres which lives in the S^1-equivariant graded suspension category. In particular, this gives a construction of Seiberg-Witten Floer homology that avoids the …

We define relative Ruan invariants that count embedded connected symplectic submanifolds which contact a fixed stable symplectic hypersurface V in a symplectic 4-manifold (X,w) at prescribed points with prescribed contact orders (in addition to insertions on X\V) for stable V. We obtain invariants of the deformation cl…

Proves unique degeneration of log Fano fibration germs.

Locally stable maps $S^3\to\mathbb{R}^4$ are classified up to homotopy through locally stable maps. The equivalence class of a map $f$ is determined by three invariants: the isotopy class $σ(f)$ of its framed singularity link, the generalized normal degree $ν(f)$, and the algebraic number of cusps $κ(f)$ of any extensi…

Study cohomotopy classes for 4-manifolds using complex spin structures.

We shall prove a new non-vanishing theorem for the stable cohomotopy Seiberg-Witten invariant of connected sums of 4-manifolds with positive first Betti number. The non-vanishing theorem enables us to find many new examples of 4-manifolds with non-trivial stable cohomotopy Seiberg-Witten invariants and it also gives a …

In the present work, we study the decompositions of codimension-one transitions that alter the singular set the of stable maps of $S^3$ into $\mathbb{R}^3,$ the topological behaviour of the singular set and the singularities in the branch set that involves cuspidal curves and swallowtails that alter the singular set. W…

Using the interpretation of certain generalised Donaldson-Thomas invariants, including stable pairs curve counts, as the monodromy of a flat connection on a formal principal bundle, we show that the conjectural Gopakumar-Vafa contributions of all genera to the Gromov-Witten partition function appear in the asymptotics …

Authors prove existence of exotic surfaces and invariants not detecting self-diffeomorphisms.

We show that the cobordism groups of negative codimensional folds maps contain direct sums of stable homotopy groups of Thom spaces of vector bundles like the circle and the infinite dimensional projective space. We give geometrical invariants which detect these direct summands.
