We introduce the concept of boundary degeneracy of topologically ordered states on a compact orientable spatial manifold with boundaries, and emphasize that the boundary degeneracy provides richer information than the bulk degeneracy. Beyond the bulk-edge correspondence, we find the ground state degeneracy of the fully gapped edge modes depends on boundary gapping conditions. By associating different types of boundary gapping conditions as different ways of particle or quasiparticle condensations on the boundary, we develop an analytic theory of gapped boundaries. By Chern-Simons theory, this allows us to derive the ground state degeneracy formula in terms of boundary gapping conditions, which encodes more than the fusion algebra of fractionalized quasiparticles. We apply our theory to Kitaev's toric code and Levin-Wen string-net models. We predict that the Z2 toric code and Z2 double-semion model (more generally, the Zk gauge theory and the U(1)k×U(1)−k non-chiral fractional quantum Hall state at even integer k) can be numerically and experimentally distinguished, by measuring their boundary degeneracy on an annulus or a cylinder.

The DK Flip Conjecture of Bondal-Orlov and Kawamata states that there should be an embedding of derived categories for any flip, which is known to be true for toroidal flips. In this paper, we construct new examples of Grassmannian flips that satisfy the DK Flip Conjecture.

We calculate the dimension of the locus of Jacobian elliptic surfaces over P1 with a given Picard number, in the corresponding moduli space.

Adapting the convex integration technique introduced in \cite{dLSz5} and subsequently developed in \cite{IsettVicol,IsettOh16,Buckmaster2013transporting}, we construct H\"{o}lder continuous weak solutions to the three dimensional Prandtl system and some other models with vertical viscosity.

In this paper, we provide new necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of Kähler–Einstein metrics on small deformations of a Fano Kähler–Einstein manifold. We also show that the Weil–Petersson metric can be approximated by the Ricci curvatures of the canonical L^2 metrics on the direct image bundles. In addition, we describe the plurisubharmonicity of the energy functional of harmonic maps on the Kuranishi space of the deformation of compact Kähler–Einstein manifolds of general type.
