We prove an inequality between the sum of the Betti numbers of a complex projective manifold and its total curvature, and we characterize the complex projective manifolds whose total curvature is minimal. These results extend the classical theorems of Chern and Lashof to complex projective space.

Author(s): Freed, Daniel S; Teleman, Constantin | Abstract: We relate two classical dualities in low-dimensional quantum field theory: Kramers-Wannier duality of the Ising and related lattice models in $2$ dimensions, with electromagnetic duality for finite gauge theories in $3$ dimensions. The relation is mediated by the notion of boundary field theory: Ising models are boundary theories for pure gauge theory in one dimension higher. Thus the Ising order/disorder operators are endpoints of Wilson/'t Hooft defects of gauge theory. Symmetry breaking on low-energy states reflects the multiplicity of topological boundary states. In the process we describe lattice theories as (extended) topological field theories with boundaries and domain walls. This allows us to generalize the duality to non-abelian groups; finite, semi-simple Hopf algebras; and, in a different direction, to finite homotopy theories in arbitrary dimension.
作者:弗里德,丹尼尔·s;摘要:我们联系了低维量子场论中的两个经典对偶性:$2维的Ising及其相关晶格模型的Kramers-Wannier对偶性,以及$3维的有限规范理论的电磁对偶性。这种关系通过边界场理论的概念来中介:Ising模型是一维以上纯规范理论的边界理论。因此,Ising有序/无序算子是规范理论的Wilson/ t Hooft缺陷的端点。低能态的对称破缺反映了拓扑边界态的多重性。在此过程中,我们将点阵理论描述为具有边界和畴壁的(扩展的)拓扑场理论。这允许我们将对偶推广到非阿贝尔群;有限半简单Hopf代数;在另一个方向上,对于任意维的有限同伦理论。

Abstract. In this paper we prove several rigidity theorems related to and including Lytchak's problem. The focus is on Alexandrov spaces with curvgeq1, nonempty boundary, and maximal radius frac{pi}{2}. We exhibit many such spaces that indicate that this class is remarkably flexible. Nevertheless, we also show that when the boundary is either geometrically or topologically spherical, then it is possible to obtain strong rigidity results. In contrast to this one can show that with general lower curvature bounds and strictly convex boundary only cones can have maximal radius. We also mention some connections between our problems and the positive mass conjectures. This paper is an expanded version and replacement of the two previous versions

In this article, we establish the logarithmic foundation for compactifying the moduli stacks of the gauged linear sigma model using stable log maps of Abramovich-Chen-Gross-Siebert. We then illustrate our method via the key example of Witten's $r$-spin class to construct a proper moduli stack with a reduced perfect obstruction theory whose virtual cycle recovers the $r$-spin virtual cycle of Chang-Li-Li. Indeed, our construction of the reduced virtual cycle is built upon the work of Chang-Li-Li by appropriately extending and modifying the Kiem-Li cosection along certain logarithmic boundary. In the subsequent article, we push the technique to a general situation. One motivation of our construction is to fit the gauged linear sigma model in the broader setting of Gromov-Witten theory so that powerful tools such as virtual localization can be applied. A project along this line is currently in progress leading to applications including computing loci of holomorphic differentials, and calculating higher genus Gromov-Witten invariants of quintic threefolds.
