Graph potentials and topological quantum field theories
Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 132, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract We introduce a new functional equation in birational geometry, whose solutions can be used to construct two‐dimensional topological quantum field theories (2d TQFTs), infinite‐dimensional in many interesting examples. The solutions of the equation give rise to a hierarchy of graph potentials, which, in the simplest setup, are Laurent ...

Quantization of infinitesimal braidings and pre‐Cartier quasi‐bialgebras
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract In this paper, we extend Cartier's deformation theorem of braided monoidal categories admitting an infinitesimal braiding to the nonsymmetric case. The algebraic counterpart of these categories is the notion of a pre‐Cartier quasi‐bialgebra, which extends the well‐known notion of quasi‐triangular quasi‐bialgebra given by Drinfeld.

On the Euler characteristic of S$S$‐arithmetic groups
Journal of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 113, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract We show that the sign of the Euler characteristic of an S$S$‐arithmetic subgroup of a simple algebraic group depends on the S$S$‐congruence completion only, except possibly in type 6D4${}^6 D_4$. Consequently, the sign is a profinite invariant for such S$S$‐arithmetic groups with the congruence subgroup property. This generalizes previous work

The triangulation of manifolds [PDF]
, 2013 A mostly expository account of old questions about the relationship between polyhedra and topological manifolds. Topics are old topological results, new gauge theory results (with speculations about next directions), and history of the questions.Comment:

Harmonic maps to the circle with higher dimensional singular set
Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 132, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract In a closed, oriented ambient manifold (Mn,g)$(M^n,g)$ we consider the problem of finding S1$\mathbb {S}^1$‐valued harmonic maps with prescribed singular set. We show that the boundary of any oriented (n−1)$(n-1)$‐submanifold can be realised as the singular set of an S1$\mathbb {S}^1$‐valued map, which is classically harmonic away from the ...

The Development of Intersection Homology Theory
, 2006 This historical introduction is in two parts. The first is reprinted with permission from ``A century of mathematics in America, Part II,'' Hist. Math., 2, Amer. Math. Soc., 1989, pp.543-585. Virtually no change has been made to the original text.

Local equivalence and refinements of Rasmussen's s‐invariant
Journal of Topology, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Inspired by the notions of local equivalence in monopole and Heegaard Floer homology, we introduce a version of local equivalence that combines odd Khovanov homology with equivariant even Khovanov homology into an algebraic package called a local even–odd (LEO) triple.

Rigidity for equivariant pseudo pretheories
, 2018 We prove versions of the Suslin and Gabber rigidity theorems in the setting of equivariant pseudo pretheories of smooth schemes over a field with an action of a finite group.

Assembly of constructible factorization algebras
Journal of Topology, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract We provide a toolbox of extension, gluing, and assembly techniques for factorization algebras. Using these tools, we fill various gaps in the literature on factorization algebras on stratified manifolds, the main one being that constructible factorization algebras form a sheaf of symmetric monoidal ∞$\infty$‐categories.

WDVV‐based recursion for open Gromov–Witten invariants
Journal of Topology, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract We give a computability result for open Gromov–Witten invariants based on open Witten–Dijkgraaf–Verlinde–Verlinde (WDVV) equations. This is analogous to the result of Kontsevich–Manin for closed Gromov–Witten invariants. For greater generality, we base the argument on a formal object, the Frobenius superpotential, that generalizes several ...
