We refer to the real Jordan Banach algebra of bounded Hermitian operators on a Hilbert space as a Hermitian algebra. We define an abstract Hermitian algebra (AH-algebra) to be the directed group of an e-ring that contains a semitransparent…

The subject of this paper is strongly homotopy (SH) Lie algebras, also known as $L_\infty$-algebras. We extract an intrinsic character, the Atiyah class, which measures the nontriviality of an (SH) Lie algebra $A$ when it is extended to…

We develop the theory of d-holomorphic connections on d-holomorphic vector bundles over a Klein surface by constructing the analogous Atiyah exact sequence for d-holomorphic bundles. We also give a criterion for the existence of…

Let $A$ be an algebra over an operad in a cocomplete closed symmetric monoidal category. We study the category of $A$-modules. We define certain symmetric product functors of such modules generalising the tensor product of modules over…

For a simple, simply connected, complex group G, we prove an explicit formula to compute the Atiyah class of parabolic determinant of cohomology line bundle on the moduli space of parabolic $G$-bundles. This generalizes an earlier result of…

Given an arbitrary topological complex vector space $A$, a quotient vector bundle for $A$ is a quotient of a trivial vector bundle $\pi_2:A\times X\to X$ by a fiberwise linear continuous open surjection. We show that this notion subsumes…

We introduce \emph{hierarchical depth}, a new invariant of line bundles and divisors, defined via maximal chains of effective sub-line bundles. This notion gives rise to \emph{hierarchical filtrations}, refining the structure of the Picard…

We discuss algebraic vector bundles on smooth k-schemes X contractible from the standpoint of A^1-homotopy theory; when k = C, the smooth manifolds X(C) are contractible as topological spaces. The integral algebraic K-theory and integral…

For any regular Lie algebroid $A$, the kernel $K$ and the image $F$ of its anchor map $\rho_A$, together with $A$ itself fit into a short exact sequence, called Atiyah sequence, of Lie algebroids. We prove that Atiyah and Todd classes of dg…

We consider stable and semistable principal bundles over a smooth projective real algebraic curve, equipped with a real or pseudo-real structure in the sense of Atiyah. After fixing suitable topological invariants, one can build a suitable…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a field. The homogeneous (or translation-invariant) vector bundles over $A$ form an abelian category ${\rm HVec}_A$; the Fourier-Mukai transform yields an equivalence of ${\rm HVec}_A$ with the category of…

In the first part of this paper, given a smooth family of Dirac-type operators on an odd-dimensional closed manifold, we construct an abelian gerbe-with-connection whose curvature is the three-form component of the Atiyah-Singer families…

A new construction of a universal connection was given in \cite{BHS}. The main aim here is to explain this construction. A theorem of Atiyah and Weil says that a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a compact Riemann surface admits a…

We show that coinvariants of modules over vertex operator algebras give rise to quasi-coherent sheaves on moduli of stable pointed curves. These generalize Verlinde bundles or vector bundles of conformal blocks defined using affine Lie…

In 1954, I. Kaplansky proposed three test problems for deciding the strength of structural understanding of a class of mathematical objects in his treatise "Infinite abelian groups", which can be formulated for very general mathematical…

A subbundle of a Hermitian vector bundle $(E, h)$ can be metrically and differentiably defined by the orthogonal projection onto this subbundle. A weakly holomorphic subbundle of a Hermitian holomorphic bundle is, by definition, an…

We interpret the structure of the adele class space of the rationals--and specifically its Riemann sector--as the natural monoidal extension of the Picard group of the arithmetic curve $\overline{\operatorname{Spec} \mathbb Z}$. We identify…

To study problems involving heights as, eg, Manin's conjecture on the number of points of bounded height on an algebraic variety defined over a number field, it is desirable to have a good normalization of these height functions. We show…

The purpose of this article is to initiate Arakelov theory in a noncommutative setting. More precisely, we are concerned with Arakelov theory of noncommutative arithmetic curves. Our first main result is an arithmetic Riemann-Roch formula…

We define a quantum generalization of the algebra of functions over an associated vector bundle of a principal bundle. Here the role of a quantum principal bundle is played by a Hopf-Galois extension. Smash products of an algebra times a…
