Seifert hypersurfaces of 2-knots and Chern-Simons functional
We introduce a real-valued functional on the $SU(2)$-representation space of the knot group for any oriented $2$-knot. We calculate the functionals for ribbon $2$-knots and the twisted spun $2$-knotsExpand
Filtered instanton Floer homology and the homology cobordism group
• Mathematics
• 2019
For any $s \in [-\infty,0]$ and oriented homology $3$-sphere $Y$, we introduce a homology cobordism invariant $r_s(Y )$ whose value is in $(0,\infty]$. The values $\{r_s (Y )\}$ are contained in theExpand
Tools, Objects, and Chimeras: Connes on the Role of Hyperreals in Mathematics
• Mathematics, Physics

We examine some of Connes’ criticisms of Robinson’s infinitesimals starting in 1995. Connes sought to exploit the Solovay model $${\mathcal{S}}$$ as ammunition against non-standard analysis, but theExpand
