D-orbifolds and d-bordism
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to study d-manifolds and d-orbifolds and their bordism groups. D-manifolds and d-orbifolds were recently introduced by Joyce as a new class of geometric objects to study moduli problems in algebraic and symplectic geometry. In the spirit of Joyce we will introduce the notion of (stable) nearly and homotopy complex structures on these 2-categories and study their unitary bordism groups. Fukaya and Ono proved that the moduli space of n-pointed, genus g, J-holomorphic curves Mg,n(M,J,β) carries a so called stably almost complex structure, and as Kuranishi spaces are closely related to d-orbifolds, the introduction of complex structures will be essential in studying symplectic Gromov-Witten invariants using d-orbifolds. We furthermore introduce the notion of representable d-orbifolds and prove that these representable d-orbifolds can be embedded into an orbifold. We will then explain how a result of Kresch can be used to show that many important moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, are representable and thus embeddable d-orbifolds. Moreover we will sketch how one could prove an analogous result in the symplectic case. We then prove as one of our main results, that for a compact manifold the unitary d-bordism group is isomorphic to its ‘classical’ unitary bordism group. This result extends a result by Joyce who proved a similar statement for oriented manifolds and d-manifolds. Furthermore we will introduce the notion of blowups in the 2-category of d-manifolds and prove that these d-blowups satisfy a universal property. Finally, we sketch how our results may be used to make a step towards a proof of the Gopakumar–Vafa integrality conjecture and a “resolution of singularities” theorem for d-orbifolds

In my own fashion : the life history of Joyce Leininger
No full texttextThe social, religious, and political struggles of Joyce Leininger, a
woman who was born without hands and with legs that extended just below
her knees. Joyce led an extremely successful and productive life despite all of
the barriers put in her way by society’s negative view of her physical
difference. Joyce became a teacher, wife, and mother of three children.
Joyce’s youngest child is the author of Joyce’s life history and the experiences
of all Joyce's children, in relationship to how society treated them and their
mother because of her physical condition.Curriculum and Instructio

Joyce, Michael; 1989-10-03
No full textBiography: Michael Joyce (born 1945) is a professor of English at Vassar College, New York, US. He is also an important author and critic of electronic literature.
Joyce\u27s afternoon, a story, 1987, was among the first literary works of hypertext fiction to present itself as undeniably serious literature, and experimented with the short-story form in novel ways. It was created with the then-new Storyspace software, deployed the ambiguity and dubious narrator characteristic of high modernism, along with some suspense and romance elements, in a story whose meaning could change dramatically depending on the path taken through its lexias on each reading. For instance, a hard-to-find series of lexias presented a new set of facts about the narrator\u27s actions which affects the reader\u27s judgment of the narrator. In The New York Times, Robert Coover called afternoon the granddaddy of hypertext fictions , while The Toronto Globe and Mail said that it is to the hypertext interactive novel what the Gutenberg bible is to publishing. His Twilight, A Symphony (1996) was his second hypertext novel.
Joyce\u27s published books include War outside Ireland: a novel (1982), Of two minds: hypertext pedagogy and poetics (1995), Othermindedness: the emergence of network culture (2000), Moral tales and meditations: technological parables and refractions (2001) and Foucault, in Winter, in the Linnaeus Garden (2015). He is a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop. He has been a Professor of English and Media Studies at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie.
Joyce has collaborated with Los Angeles-based visual artist Alexandra Grant. The work Grant has made based on his texts ( The Ladder Quartet and the Six Portals ) has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and Honor Fraser Gallery in Los Angeles.

Lectures on Calabi-Yau and special Lagrangian geometry
No full textThis paper gives a leisurely introduction to Calabi-Yau manifolds and special Lagrangian submanifolds from the differential geometric point of view, followed by a survey of recent results on singularities of special Lagrangian submanifolds, and their application to the SYZ Conjecture. It is aimed at graduate students in Geometry, String Theorists, and others wishing to learn the subject, and is designed to be fairly self-contained. It is based on lecture courses given at Nordfjordeid, Norway and MSRI, Berkeley in June and July 2001. We introduce Calabi-Yau m-folds via holonomy groups, Kahler geometry and the Calabi Conjecture, and special Lagrangian m-folds via calibrated geometry. `Almost Calabi-Yau m-folds' (a generalization of Calabi-Yau m-folds useful in special Lagrangian geometry) are explained and the deformation theory and moduli spaces of compact special Lagrangian submanifolds in (almost) Calabi-Yau m-folds is described. In the final part we consider isolated singularities of special Lagrangian m-folds, focussing mainly on singularities locally modelled on cones, and the expected behaviour of singularities of compact special Lagrangian m-folds in generic (almost) Calabi-Yau m-folds. String Theory, Mirror Symmetry and the SYZ Conjecture are briefly discussed, and some results of the author on singularities of special Lagrangian fibrations of Calabi-Yau 3-folds are described
