These notes explain the equivalence between certain topological and coherent data on complex-analytic manifolds, and also discuss the phenomenon of “regular singularities” connections in the 1-dimensional case. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the equivalence of categories between the category of locally constant sheaves of sets on a topological space X and the category of coverin...

Here we present an overview of countably-normed spaces. In particular, we discuss the main topologies—weak, strong, and inductive—placed on the dual of a countably-normed space and discuss the σ-fields generated by these topologies. The purpose in mind is to provide the background material for many of the results used is White Noise Analysis. 1. Topological Vector Spaces In the introduction we ...

The Madsen-Tillmann spectra defined by categories of threeand four-dimensional Spin manifolds have a very rich algebraic structure, whose surface is scratched here. For Michael Atiyah, in deep gratitude. 1. Cobordism categories 1.1 Many variations and generalizations are possible, but to begin, consider the topological two-category DCobord whose objects are oriented smooth closed d-manifolds (D...

In this paper we present new forms of the classical separation axioms on topological spaces. Our constructions generate a method to refine separation properties when passing to the quotient space and our results may be useful in the study of algebraic topological structures, such as topological groups and topological vector spaces.

math.CT/0512076 KCL-MTH-05-15 ZMP-HH/05-23 Hamburger Beiträge zur Mathematik Nr. 225 Two-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) can be defined through its correlation functions. These must satisfy certain consistency conditions which arise from the cutting of world sheets along circles or intervals. The construction of a (rational) CFT can be divided into two steps, of which one is complex-an...

Let X be a completely regular Hausdorff space, E a Hausdorff topological vector space, CL(E) the algebra of continuous operators on E, V a Nachbin family on X and F ⊆ CVb(X,E) a topological vector space (for a given topology). If π : X → CL(E) is a mapping and f ∈ F , let Mπ(f)(x) := π(x)f(x). In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the induced linear mapping Mπ to be a mu...

In this paper, the gradual real numbers are considered and the notion of the gradual normed linear space is given. Also some topological properties of such spaces are studied, and it is shown that the gradual normed linear space is a locally convex space, in classical sense. So the results in locally convex spaces can be translated in gradual normed linear spaces. Finally, we give an examp...
