Involutions and the Chern-Simons filtration in instanton Floer homology
Antonio Alfieri, Irving Dai, Abhishek Mallick +1
Building on the work of Nozaki, Sato and Taniguchi, we develop an instanton-theoretic invariant aimed at studying strong corks and equivariant bounding. Our construction utilizes t…

From diffeomorphisms to exotic phenomena in small 4-manifolds
Hokuto Konno, Abhishek Mallick, Masaki Taniguchi
We provide an approach to study exotic phenomena in relatively small 4-manifolds that captures many different exotic behaviors under one umbrella. These phenomena include exotic sm…
