}Every smooth manifold contains particles which propagate. These form objects and morphisms of a category equipped with a functor to the category of Abelian groups, turning this into a 0 + 1 topological eld theory. We investigate the algebraic structure of this category, intimately related to the structure of Stashe’s polytops, introducing the notion of associahedral categories. An associahedral category is preadditive and close to being strict monoidal. Finally, we interpret Morse-Witten theory…

Source spaces and perturbations for cluster complexes
- Mathematics
- 2012
We define objects made of marked complex disks connected by metric line segments and construct nonsymmetric and symmetric moduli spaces of these objects. This allows choices of coherent perturbations…

The symplectic action can be defined on the space of smooth paths in a symplectic manifold P which join two Lagrangian submanifolds of P. To pursue a new approach to the variational theory of this…
Geometric realizations of the multiplihedron and its complexification

We realize Stasheff's multiplihedron geometrically as the moduli space of stable quilted disks. This generalizes the geometric realization of the associahedron as the moduli space of stable disks. We…
