Free Immersions in Critical Dimension from Lie Groups

Abstract

We construct free immersions of $P^3 \times S^1$ and $S^3 \times S^1$ into $14$-space. These are the first examples of free immersions in critical dimension of closed manifolds that are not spheres, projective spaces, tori, or surfaces. The idea is to mimic De Leo's construction for $m$-tori with $m \leq 5$. De Leo constructs a map that is symmetric with respect to a representation of the Lie group formed by the $(m - 1)$-torus; we replace this group with $\mathrm{SO}(3)$. In our examples, the osculating determinant is constant.

Dirac operators twisted by ramified Euclidean line bundles

This article is concerned with the analysis of Dirac operators $D$ twisted by ramified Euclidean line bundles $(Z,\mathfrak{l})$-motivated by their relation with harmonic $\mathbf{Z}/2\mathbf{Z}$ spinors, which have appeared in various context in gauge theory and calibrated geometry. The closed extensions of $D$ are described in terms of the Gelfand-Robbin quotient $\check{\mathbf{H}}$. Assuming that the branching locus $Z$ is a closed cooriented codimension two submanifold, a geometric realisation of $\check{\mathbf{H}}$ is constructed. This, in turn, leads to an $L^2$ regularity theory.

New Solutions to the $G_2$ Hull-Strominger System via torus fibrations over $K3$ orbifolds

Using torus fibrations over K3 orbisurfaces, we construct new smooth solutions to the $G_2$ Hull-Strominger system. These manifolds arise as total spaces of principal $T^3$ (orbi)bundles over singular K3 surfaces. Our construction is based on the choice of three divisors on a singular K3 surface that are primitive with respect to a particular Kählermetric. The stable bundle is obtained via an adaptation of the Serre construction to the singular setting.

On vector-valued multisymplectic forms

We obtain a standard local presentation for a vector-valued multisymplectic form on a smooth manifold, generalizing the known proof for polysymplectic forms. We show that vector-valued multisymplectic forms on a finite-dimensional real vector space form a non-unital operad. We prove an entropy inequality for partial compositions.
