We construct a family of infinite simple groups that we call emph{twisted Brin-Thompson groups}, generalizing Brin's higher-dimensional Thompson groups $sV$ ($sinmathbb{N}$). We use twisted Brin-Thompson groups to prove a variety of results regarding simple groups. For example, we prove that every finitely generated group embeds quasi-isometrically as a subgroup of a two-generated simple group, strengthening a result of Bridson. We also produce examples of simple groups that contain every $sV$ and hence every right-angled Artin group, including examples of type $textrm{F}_infty$ and a family of examples of type $textrm{F}_{n-1}$ but not of type $textrm{F}_n$, for arbitrary $ninmathbb{N}$. This provides the second known infinite family of simple groups distinguished by their finiteness properties.

Since its first use by Behrend, Bryan, and SzendrH{o}i in the computation of motivic Donaldson-Thomas (DT) invariants of $mathbb{A}_{mathbb{C}}^3$, dimensional reduction has proved to be an important tool in motivic and cohomological DT theory. Inspired by a conjecture of Cazzaniga, Morrison, Pym, and SzendrH{o}i on motivic DT invariants, work of Dobrovolska, Ginzburg, and Travkin on exponential sums, and work of Orlov and Hirano on equivalences of categories of singularities, we generalize the dimensional reduction theorem in motivic and cohomological DT theory and use it to prove versions of the Cazzaniga-Morrison-Pym-SzendrH{o}i conjecture in these settings.

We reconstruct the all-genus Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten invariants of a Fermat cubic Landau-Ginzburg space $(x_1^3+x_2^3+x_3^3: [mathbb{C}^3/ mathbold{mu}_3]to mathbb{C})$ from genus-one primary invariants, using tautological relations and axioms of Cohomological Field Theories. These genus-one invariants satisfy a Chazy equation by the Belorousski-Pandharipande relation. They are completely determined by a single genus-one invariant, which can be obtained from cosection localization and intersection theory on moduli of three spin curves. We solve an all-genus Landau-Ginzburg/Calabi-Yau Correspondence Conjecture for the Fermat cubic Landau-Ginzburg space using Cayley transformation on quasi-modular forms. This transformation relates two non-semisimple CohFT theories: the Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten theory of the Fermat cubic polynomial and the Gromov-Witten theory of the Fermat cubic curve. As a consequence, Fan-Jarvis-Ruan-Witten invariants at any genus can be computed using Gromov-Witten invariants of the elliptic curve. They also satisfy nice structures including holomorphic anomaly equations and Virasoro constraints.

We construct geometric maps from the cyclic homology groups of the (compact or wrapped) Fukaya category to the corresponding $S^1$-equivariant (Floer/quantum or symplectic) cohomology groups, which are natural with respect to all Gysin and periodicity exact sequences and are isomorphisms whenever the (non-equivariant) open-closed map is. These {em cyclic open-closed maps} give (a) constructions of geometric smooth and/or proper Calabi-Yau structures on Fukaya categories (which in the proper case implies the Fukaya category has a cyclic A-infinity model in characteristic 0) and (b) a purely symplectic proof of the non-commutative Hodge-de Rham degeneration conjecture for smooth and proper subcategories of Fukaya categories of compact symplectic manifolds. Further applications of cyclic open-closed maps, to counting curves in mirror symmetry and to comparing topological field theories, are the subject of joint projects with Perutz-Sheridan [GPS1, GPS2] and Cohen [CG].
