Computing -invariants of Joyce's compact -manifolds
Christopher Scaduto
Crowley and Nordström introduced an invariant of -structures on the tangent bundle of a closed 7-manifold, taking values in the integers modulo 48. Using the spectral descript…

Associative submanifolds and gradient cycles
Simon Donaldson, Christopher Scaduto
We discuss a model for associative submanifolds in -manifolds with K3 fibrations, in the adiabatic limit. The model involves graphs in a 3-manifold whose edges are locally g…

Niemeier lattices, smooth 4-manifolds and instantons
Christopher Scaduto
We show that the set of even positive definite lattices that arise from smooth, simply-connected 4-manifolds bounded by a fixed homology 3-sphere can depend on more than the ranks…
