Characteristic classes of oriented vector bundles can be identified with cohomology classes of the disjoint union of classifying spaces BSO_n of special orthogonal groups SO_n with n=0,1,... A characteristic class is stable if it extends to…

We provide an equivariant description/classification of all complete (compact or not) non-negatively curved manifolds M together with a co-compact action by a reflection group W, and moreover, classify such W. In particular, we show that…

We present a new method of establishing a bijective correspondence - in fact, a lattice isomorphism - between action- and coaction-invariant ideals of C*-algebras and their crossed products by a fixed locally compact group. It is known that…

We relate the classes of unitary and calibrated representations of cyclotomic Hecke algebras and, in particular, we show that for the most important deformation parameters these two classes coincide. We classify these representations in…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive complex algebraic group, and $E$ a complex elliptic curve. Let $G_E$ denote the connected component of the trivial bundle in the stack of semistable $G$-bundles on $E$. We introduce a complex analytic…

The paper presents a classification theorem for the class of flat connections with triangular (0,1)-components on a topologically trivial complex vector bundle over a compact Kahler manifold. As a consequence we obtain several results on…

For a vector bundle E on a model of a smooth projective curve over a p-adic number field a p-adic representation of the geometric fundamental group of X has been defined in work with Annette Werner if the reduction of E is strongly…

We study here compact manifolds with positive scalar curvature metrics. We use the relative Yamabe invariant from math.DG/0008138 to define the conformal cobordism relation on the category of such manifolds. We prove that corresponding…

For any smooth connected linear algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field k, we describe the Picard group of the universal moduli stack of principal G-bundles over pointed smooth k-projective curves.

Let E be a rank two vector bundle on a scheme X. The following three structures are shown to be equivalent : a) A primitive quadratic map q: E --> L, with values in an invertible module L. b) A double covering f: Y --> X endowed with an…

For a smooth, projective, complex algebraic variety $X$, the Riemann--Hilbert correspondence establishes a complex analytic isomorphism between the `Betti moduli space' of rank $n$ local systems on $X^\mathrm{an}$ and the `de Rham moduli…

We introduce and investigate a functorial construction which associates coherent sheaves to finite dimensional (restricted) representations of a restricted Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. These are sheaves on locally closed subvarieties of the…

It is shown that if a finite generically smooth morphism $f\,:\,Y\,\longrightarrow\, X$ of smooth projective varieties induces an isomorphism of the \'etale fundamental groups, then the induced map of the stratified fundamental groups…

Let $f : X \rightarrow Y$ be a separable finite surjective map between irreducible normal projective varieties defined over an algebraically closed field, such that the corresponding homomorphism between \'etale fundamental groups $f_* :…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold. We use Chern-Weil theory to study the characteristic classes of principal $G$-bundles built from continuous families of $\pi_{1}(M)$-representations, where $G$ is a compact Lie group. We then relate these…

The nonabelian Hodge correspondence (Corlette-Simpson correspondence), between the polystable Higgs bundles with vanishing Chern classes on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ and the completely reducible flat connections on $X$, is extended to…

Let $G$ be a simple and simply connected complex Lie group. We discuss the moduli space of holomorphic semistable principal $G$ bundles over an elliptic curve $E$. In particular we give a new proof of a theorem of Looijenga and…

We prove that smooth, projective, $K$-trivial, weakly ordinary varieties over a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$ are not geometrically uniruled. We also show a singular version of our theorem, which is sharp in multiple aspects. Our…

We present equivalences between certain categories of vector bundles on projective varieties, namely cokernel bundles, Steiner bundles, syzygy bundles, and monads, and full subcategories of representations of certain quivers. As an…

In this paper we construct a bicategory of (super) algebra bundles over a smooth manifold, where the 1-morphisms are bundles of bimodules. The main point is that naive definitions of bimodule bundles will not lead to a well-defined…
