Let X be a variety over a field of characteristic 0. Given a vector bundle E on X we construct Chern forms c_{i}(E;\nabla) in \Gamma(X, \cal{A}^{2i}_{X}). Here \cal{A}^{.}_{X} is the sheaf Beilinson adeles and \nabla is an adelic…

Following a suggestion made by J.-P. Demailly, for each $k\ge 1$, we endow, by an induction process, the $k$-th (anti)tautological line bundle $\mathcal O_{X_k}(1)$ of an arbitrary complex directed manifold $(X,V)$ with a natural smooth…

Given a parabolic vector bundle, we construct for it a projectivization and tautological line bundle. These are analogs of the projectivization and tautological line bundle for an usual vector bundle. Using these we give a construction of…

Given a matrix factorization, we use the Atiyah class to give an algebraic Chern-Weil type construction to its Chern character; this allows us to realize the Chern character in an explicit way. It also generalizes the existing result to any…

Given a smooth action of a Lie group on a manifold, we give two constructions of the Chern character of an equivariant vector bundle in the cyclic cohomology of the crossed product algebra. The first construction associates a cycle to the…

This paper expresses the Chern character for topological K-theory based on the formulation of the family of Fredholm operators, by using the points at which the Fredholm operator becomes singular (Fermi points). In particular, we explain…

On the basis of Dupont's work, we exhibit a cocycle in the simplicial de Rham complex which represents the Chern character. We also prove the related conjecture due to Brylinski. This gives a way to construct a cocycle in a local truncated…

We show that Chern-Weil theory for tensor bundles over manifolds is a consequence of the existence of natural closed differential forms on total spaces of torsion free connections on frame bundles.

We introduce a certain index of a collection of germs of 1-forms on a germ of a singular variety which is a generalization of the local Euler obstruction corresponding to Chern numbers different from the top one.

The groups of differential characters of Cheeger and Simons admit a natural multiplicative structure. The map given by the squares of degree 2k differential characters reduces to a homomorphism of ordinary cohomology groups. We prove that…

Let h be a Real bundle, in the sense of Atiyah, over a space X. This is a complex vector bundle together with an involution which is compatible with complex conjugation. We use the fact that BU is equipped with a structure of conjugation…

Suppose G is a compact Lie group and N is a closed normal subgroup of G acting freely on a smooth manifold X. The Cartan theorem alluded to in the title postulates the existence of a natural isomorphism between the G-equivariant cohomology…

We show that the K-groups K_{n}(O) for O the integers or an order in a CM field and n>0 appear as direct summands of the homotopy groups of various localisations of Zakharevich's K-theory space. After rationalisation and going to the…

Recent advances in computational techniques for $K$-theory allow us to describe the $K$-theory of toric varieties in terms of the $K$-theory of fields and simple cohomological data.

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic 0 and $\mathcal{A}$ a curved $k$-algebra. We obtain a Chern-Weil-type formula for the Chern character of a perfect $\mathcal{A}$-module taking values in $HN_0^{II}(\mathcal{A})$, the negative cyclic…

We prove that the Gromov--Witten theory (GWT) of a projective bundle can be determined by the Chern classes and the GWT of the base. It completely answers a question raised in a previous paper (arXiv:1607.00740). Its consequences include…

We prove excision in entire and periodic cyclic cohomology and construct a Chern-Connes character for Fredholm modules over a C*-algebra without summability restrictions, taking values in a variant of Connes's entire cyclic cohomology.…

We provide evidence for the conjecture that the Wodzicki-Chern classes vanish for all bundles with the group Z of invertible zeroth order pseudodifferential operators as structure group. In particular, we prove this vanishing if the…

Here we calculate the Chern classes of ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_{g,n}$, the moduli stack of stable n-pointed curves. In particular, we prove that such classes lie in the tautological ring.

We calculate the Chern classes and Chern numbers for the natural almost Hermitian structures of the partial flag manifolds F_n=SU(n+2)/S(U(n)\times U(1)\times U(1)). For all n>1 there are two invariant complex algebraic structures, which…
