We construct orientations on moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic quilts with seam conditions in Lagrangian correspondences equipped with relative spin structures and determine the effect of various gluing operations on the orientations. We also investigate the behavior of the orientations under composition of Lagrangian correspondences.

We construct families of quilted surfaces parametrized by the multiplihedra, and define moduli spaces of pseudoholomorphic quilted disks using the theory of pseudoholomorphic quilts of Wehrheim and Woodward. We prove a gluing theorem for regular, isolated pseudoholomorphic quilted disks. This analytical result is a fundamental ingredient for the construction of A-infinity functors associated to Lagrangian correspondences.
This survey article, in honor of G. Tians 60th birthday, is inspired by R. Pandharipandes 2002 note highlighting research directions central to Gromov-Witten theory in algebraic geometry and by G. Tians complex-geometric perspective on pseudoholomorphic curves that lies behind many important developments in symplectic topology since the early 1990s.
In this paper, we use the canonical connection instead of Levi-Civita connection to study the smooth maps between almost Hermitian manifolds, especially, the pseudoholomorphic ones. By using the Bochner formulas, we obtian the $C^2$-estimate of canonical second fundamental form, Liouville type theorems of pseudoholomorphic maps, pseudoholomorphicity of pluriharmonic maps, and Simons integral inequality of pseudoholomorphic isometric immersion.
Let $X$ be a compact manifold, $D$ a real elliptic operator on $X$, $G$ a Lie group, $Pto X$ a principal $G$-bundle, and ${mathcal B}_P$ the infinite-dimensional moduli space of all connections $ abla_P$ on $P$ modulo gauge, as a topological stack. For each $[ abla_P]in{mathcal B}_P$, we can consider the twisted elliptic operator $D^{ abla_{Ad(P)}}$ on X. This is a continuous family of elliptic operators over the base ${mathcal B}_P$, and so has an orientation bundle $O^D_Pto{mathcal B}_P$, a principal ${mathbb Z}_2$-bundle parametrizing orientations of Ker$D^{ abla_{Ad(P)}}oplus$Coker$D^{ abla_{Ad(P)}}$ at each $[ abla_P]$. An orientation on $({mathcal B}_P,D)$ is a trivialization $O^D_Pcong{mathcal B}_Ptimes{mathbb Z}_2$. In gauge theory one studies moduli spaces $mathcal M$ of connections $ abla_P$ on $P$ satisfying some curvature condition, such as anti-self-dual instantons on Riemannian 4-manifolds $(X, g)$. Under good conditions $mathcal M$ is a smooth manifold, and orientations on $({mathcal B}_P,D)$ pull back to orientations on $mathcal M$ in the usual sense under the inclusion ${mathcal M}hookrightarrow{mathcal B}_P$. This is important in areas such as Donaldson theory, where one needs an orientation on $mathcal M$ to define enumerative invariants. We explain a package of techniques, some known and some new, for proving orientability and constructing canonical orientations on $({mathcal B}_P,D)$, after fixing some algebro-topological information on $X$. We use these to construct canonical orientations on gauge theory moduli spaces, including new results for moduli spaces of flat connections on 2- and 3-manifolds, instantons, Kapustin-Witten and Vafa-Witten equations on 4-manifolds, and the Haydys-Witten equations on 5-manifolds. Two sequels arXiv:1811.02405, arXiv:1811.09658 discuss orientations in 7 and 8 dimensions.
We study several natural instances of the geometric hitting set problem for input consisting of sets of line segments (and rays, lines) having a small number of distinct slopes. These problems model path monitoring (e.g., on road networks) using the fewest sensors (the hitting points). We give approximation algorithms for cases including (i) lines of 3 slopes in the plane, (ii) vertical lines and horizontal segments, (iii) pairs of horizontal/vertical segments. We give hardness and hardness of approximation results for these problems. We prove that the hitting set problem for vertical lines and horizontal rays is polynomially solvable.
