Study uses neural networks to predict wall quantities in turbulent flows.

This paper studies the interplay between the N=2 gauge theories in three and four dimensions that have a geometric description in terms of twisted compactification of the six-dimensional (2,0) SCFT. Our main goal is to construct the three-dimensional domain walls associated to any three-dimensional cobordism. We find t…

Study connects Morse theory with cluster variables for wall-crossing in Cerf diagrams.

We explain how to adapt a construction of M. Sageev's to construct a proper action on a CAT(0) cube complex starting from a proper action on a wall space, and use this to deduce that if G is a group containing an amenable subgroup H of super-polynomial growth and G acts properly on a space with walls then there are arb…

Neural network predicts turbulence near-wall regions efficiently.

Farrell and Hsiang noticed that the geometric surgery groups defined By Wall, Chapter 9, do not have the naturality Wall claims for them. They were able to fix the problem by augmenting Wall's definitions to keep track of a line bundle. The definition of geometric Wall groups involves homology with local coefficients a…

Proof of wall-crossing formula using spectral networks.

We review our recent work on solitons in the Higgs phase. We use U(N_C) gauge theory with N_F Higgs scalar fields in the fundamental representation, which can be extended to possess eight supercharges. We propose the moduli matrix as a fundamental tool to exhaust all BPS solutions, and to characterize all possible modu…

When formulated in twistor space, the D-instanton corrected hypermultiplet moduli space in N=2 string vacua and the Coulomb branch of rigid N=2 gauge theories on $R^3 \times S^1$ are strikingly similar and, to a large extent, dictated by consistency with wall-crossing. We elucidate this similarity by showing that these…

Reformulates mod-two APS index using domain-wall fermion.

We study commensurating actions of groups and the associated properties FW and PW, in connection with wallings, median graphs, CAT(0) cubings and multi-ended Schreier graphs.

We use localization formulas in the theory of equivariant cohomology to rederive the wall crossing formulas of Li-Liu and Okonek-Teleman for Seiberg-Witten invariants.

We consider Bridgeland stability conditions for three-folds conjectured by Bayer-Macrì-Toda in the case of Picard rank one. We study the differential geometry of numerical walls, characterizing when they are bounded, discussing possible intersections, and showing that they are essentially regular. Next, we prove that w…

A fully-convolutional neural-network model is used to predict the streamwise velocity fields at several wall-normal locations by taking as input the streamwise and spanwise wall-shear-stress planes in a turbulent open channel flow. The training data are generated by performing a direct numerical simulation (DNS) at a f…

We present a systematic method to construct exactly all Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) multi-wall solutions in supersymmetric (SUSY) U(N_C) gauge theories in five dimensions with N_F hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation for infinite gauge coupling. The moduli space of these non-Abelian walls is found…

Deep neural network approximates flow averages for rough walls in multiscale simulations.

We give a physical explanation of the Kontsevich-Soibelman wall-crossing formula for the BPS spectrum in Seiberg-Witten theories. In the process we give an exact description of the BPS instanton corrections to the hyperkahler metric of the moduli space of the theory on R^3 x S^1. The wall-crossing formula reduces to th…

The Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) multi-wall solutions are constructed in supersymmetric U(N_C) gauge theories in five dimensions with N_F(>N_C) hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Exact solutions are obtained with full generic moduli for infinite gauge coupling and with partial moduli for finite …

Analytic K-semistability connects curvature to metric existence.

We derive a wall crossing formula for the symplectic vortex invariants of toric manifolds. As an application, we give a proof of Batyrev's formula for the quantum cohomology of a monotone toric manifold with minimal Chern number at least two.

In this survey paper, we briefly review various aspects of the SYZ approach to mirror symmetry for non-Calabi-Yau varieties, focusing in particular on Lagrangian fibrations and wall-crossing phenomena in Floer homology. Various examples are presented, some of them new.

We construct proper good moduli spaces parametrizing K-polystable $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein smoothable log Fano pairs $(X, cD)$, where $X$ is a Fano variety and $D$ is a rational multiple of the anti-canonical divisor. We then establish a wall-crossing framework of these K-moduli spaces as $c$ varies. The main applicatio…

We introduce a mathematician-friendly formulation of the physicist-friendly derivation of the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index of our previous paper. Our viewpoint sheds some new light on the interplay among the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer boundary condition, domain-wall fermions, and edge modes.

We calculate a wall crossing formula for 4-dimensional Poincare-Einstein metrics, through a wall made of orbifold Poincare-Einstein metrics with A1 singularities. This is based on a formalism which enables to deal with higher order terms of the Einstein equation in this setting. Some other consequences are deduced.

Browder-Novikov-Sullivan-Wall surgery theory investigates the homotopy types of manifolds, using a combination of algebra and topology. It is the aim of these notes to provide an introduction to the more algebraic aspects of the theory (such as the Wall surgery obstruction groups), without losing sight of the geometric…

The wall-crossing formula for Donaldson invariants of smooth, simply connected four manifolds with $b^+=1$ is shown to be a topological invariant of the manifold for reducible connections with two or fewer singular points. The explicit formulas derived agree with those of Ellingsrud and Gottische and Friedman and Qin f…

We define a wall-crossing morphism for Khovanov-Rozansky homology; that is, a map between the KR homology of knots related by a crossing change. Using this map, we extend KR homology to an invariant of singular knots categorifying the Vasilliev derivative of the HOMFLY polynomial, and of $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ quantum invar…

Wall's finiteness obstruction is an algebraic K-theory invariant which decides if a finitely dominated space is homotopy equivalent to a finite CW complex. The object of this survey is to describe the invariant (which was first formulated in 1965) and some of its many applications to the surgery classification of manif…

We conjecture that the Joyce-Song wall-crossing formula for Donaldson-Thomas invariants arises naturally from an asymptotic expansion in the field theoretic work of Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke. This would also give a new perspective on how the formulae of Joyce-Song and Kontsevich-Soibelman are related. We check the con…

Neural networks predict flow and elastic stresses in viscoelastic turbulence.

The paper proposes a new way to approximate Riemannian metrics using discrete wall systems.

We study two instanton correction problems of Hitchin's moduli spaces along with their wall crossing formulas. The hyperkahler metric of a Hitchin's moduli space can be put into an instanton-corrected form according to physicists Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke. The problem boils down to the construction of a set of special…

In this paper we set up the family Seiberg-Witten theory. It can be applied to the counting of nodal pseudo-holomorphic curves in a symplectic 4-manifold (especially a Kahler surface). A new feature in this theory is that the chamber structure plays a more prominent role. We derive some wall crossing formulas measuring…

If a finite group $G$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $SO(3)$, then $G$ has the D2-property. Let $X$ be a finite complex satisfying Wall's D2-conditions. If $π_1(X)=G$ is finite, and $χ(X) \geq 1-Def(G)$, then $X \vee S^2$ is simple homotopy equivalent to a finite $2$-complex, whose simple homotopy type depends only on …

New proof shows Cohen-Lyndon property for non-metric small-cancellation.

We show how wall-crossing formulas in coupled 2d-4d systems, introduced by Gaiotto, Moore and Neitzke, can be interpreted geometrically in terms of the deformation theory of holomorphic pairs, given by a complex manifold together with a holomorphic vector bundle. The main part of the paper studies the relation between …
