Any arrangement of hyperplanes in general position in $P^n$ can be regarded as a divisor with normal crossing. We study the bundles of logarithmic 1-forms corresponding to such divisors` from the point of view of classification of vector…

Let $C$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ over an algebraically closed field. We prove that the moduli stack of semi-stable vector bundles on $C$ of fixed rank and determinant is $\mathbb{A}^1$--connected. We also…

In this paper, we develop twisted $K$-theory for stacks, where the twisted class is given by an $S^1$-gerbe over the stack. General properties, including the Mayer-Vietoris property, Bott periodicity, and the product structure $K^i_\alpha…

We classify equivariant topological complex vector bundles over real projective plane under a compact Lie group (not necessarily effective) action. It is shown that nonequivariant Chern classes and isotropy representations at (at most)…

This is a review of the basic concepts of the theory of real and complex smooth vector bundles with finite rank. Besides, the concept of a tensor field is studied within the general framework of a smooth vector bundle rather than a smooth…

One of the emerging problems in algebraic geometry is to characterize the affine $n$-space $\mathbb{A}^n$ among smooth affine schemes up to $\mathbb{A}^1$-contractibility. Recent efforts show that this characterization holds in dimensions…

We study some aspects of the relationship between A^1-homotopy theory and birational geometry. We study the so-called A^1-singular chain complex and zeroth A^1-homology sheaf of smooth algebraic varieties over a field k. We exhibit some…

We show that the cohomology of the structure sheaf of smooth and proper schemes over a complete non-archimedean field $K$ of characteristic zero, can be refined to an $\mathbf{A}^1$-invariant cohomology theory of smooth (not necessarily…

For a connected reductive group $G$ over a finite field, we study automorphic vector bundles on the stack of $G$-zips. In particular, we give a formula in the general case for the space of global sections of an automorphic vector bundle in…

Several authors have recently constructed characteristic classes for classes of infinite rank vector bundles appearing in topology and physics. These include the tangent bundle to the space of maps between closed manifolds, the infinite…

We study the relationship between several notions of connectedness arising in ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory of smooth schemes over a field $k$: ${\mathbb A}^1$-connectedness, stable ${\mathbb A}^1$-connectedness and motivic connectedness,…

We construct smooth presentations of algebraic stacks that are local epimorphisms in the Morel-Voevodsky $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy category. As a consequence we show that the motive of a smooth stack (in Voevodsky's triangulated category of…

We define functorial isomorphisms of parallel transport along etale paths for a class of vector bundles on a p-adic curve. All bundles of degree zero whose reduction is strongly semistable belong to this class. In particular, they give rise…

We establish a general "affine representability" result in ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory over a general base. We apply this result to obtain representability results for vector bundles in ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory. Our results…

Let f: V --> U be a smooth non-isotrivial family of canonically polarized n-dimensional complex manifolds, where U is the complement of a normal crossing divisor S in a projective manifold Y. We show that some symmetric product of the sheaf…

We study generically split octonion algebras over schemes using techniques of ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory. By combining affine representability results with techniques of obstruction theory, we establish classification results over…

We give the first examples of nef line bundles on smooth projective varieties over finite fields which are not semi-ample. More concretely, we find smooth curves on smooth projective surfaces over finite fields such that the normal bundle…

For every prime $p$, Mohan Kumar constructed examples of stably free modules of rank $p$ on suitable $(p+1)$-dimensional smooth affine varieties. This note discusses how to detect the corresponding unimodular rows in motivic cohomology.…

In this article, we establish a motivic analog of an enumeration result of James-Thomas on non-stable vector bundles in topological setting. Using this, we obtain results on enumeration of projective modules of rank $d$ over a smooth affine…

A vector bundle E on a projective variety X is called finite if it satisfies a nontrivial polynomial equation with integral coefficients. A theorem of Nori implies that E is finite if and only if the pullback of E to some finite etale…
