Topological gravity in Minkowski space
Jack Morava
The two-category with three-manifolds as objects, h-cobordisms as morphisms, and diffeomorphisms of these as two-morphisms, is extremely rich; from the point of view of classical p…
Thom Prospectra for Loopgroup representations
Nitu Kitchloo, Jack Morava
We construct an S^1-equivariant prospectrum that models the Atiyah dual of a free loop space of a manifold. By applying a suitably completed S^1-equivariant K-theory to the Atiyah…
On the canonical formula of C. Levi-Strauss
Jack Morava
The anthropologist Claude LeviStrauss has formulated a theory of the structure of myths using a formalism borrowed from mathematics, which has been difficult to interpret, and is s…
HKR characters and higher twisted sectors
Jack Morava
This is the writeup of an expository talk. It is intended as an introduction to the work of Hopkins, Kuhn, and Ravenel on generalized group characters, which seems to fit very well…
Braids, trees, and operads
Jack Morava
The space of unordered configurations of distinct points in the plane is aspherical, with Artin's braid group as its fundamental group. Remarkably enough, the space of ordered conf…
The tangent bundle of an almost-complex free loopspace
Jack Morava
The main construction of this paper contains a serious error, and I am withdrawing it. I owe Andrew Stacey and Ralph Cohen thanks for seeing the problem; in particular, Stacey has…
