The notion of a duality between two derived functors as well as an extension theorem for derived functors to larger categories in which they need not be defined is introduced. These ideas are then applied to extend and study the coext…
We initiate the study of the cohomology of (strict polynomial) bifunctors by introducing the foundational formalism, establishing numerous properties in analogy with the cohomology of functors, and providing computational techniques. Since…
We prove a classification of additive polynomial superfunctors, which allows us to compute some extensions of a superfunctor of the form $F \circ A$ where $F$ is a classical polynomial functor and $A$ is additive. We get a formula which…
Given a compact of ${\bf R}^n$, there is always a doubling measure having it as its support. We use this fact to construct an integral operator that extends differentiable functions defined on any compact set of ${\bf R}^n$ to the whole of…
The purpose of this paper is to give a pair of canonical extensions of Mayer-Vietoris functors (e.g. homology or cohomology theories of spaces) to cospans of spaces. One of the pair, called cospanical extension in this paper, is closely…
We define a new version of the exterior derivative on the basic forms of a Riemannian foliation to obtain a new form of basic cohomology that satisfies Poincar\'e duality in the transversally orientable case. We use this twisted basic…
We prove a variant of the standard Whitney extension theorem for $\mathcal C^m(\mathbb R^n)$, in which the norm of the extension operator has polynomial growth in $n$ for fixed $m$.
KK-theory is a bivariant and homotopy-invariant functor on $C^*$-algebras that combines K-theory and K-homology. KK-groups form the morphisms in a triangulated category. Spanier-Whitehead K-Duality intertwines the homological with the…
The nature of the BA function and its adjoint for KP-Toda is traced through the averaging method in generating the Whitham equations, differentials, and symplectic forms, with connections to EM duality.
We build an explicit link between coherent functors in the sense of Auslander and strict polynomial functors in the sense of Friedlander and Suslin. Applications to functor cohomology are discussed.
We establish cohomological and extension dimension versions of the Hurewicz dimension-raising theorem
The paper establishes new relationship between cohomology, extensions and automorphisms of quandles. We derive a four term exact sequence relating quandle 1-cocycles, second quandle cohomology and certain group of automorphisms of an…
We study Poincar\'e Duality in the context of abstract 6-functor formalisms. In particular, we give a small and simple list of assumptions that implies Poincar\'e Duality. As an application, we give new uniform (and essentially formal)…
In previous work we derived the topological terms in the M-theory action in terms of certain characters that we defined. In this paper, we propose the extention of these characters to include the dual fields. The unified treatment of the…
In this note we prove that the simplicial derived functors introduced by Tierney and Vogel [TV69] are naturally isomorphic to the cubical derived functors introduced by the author in [P09]. We also explain how this result generalizes the…
Bivariant theory is a unified framework for cohomology and Borel-Moore homology theories. In this paper, we extract an $\infty$-enhanced bivariant homology theory from Gaitsgory-Rozenblyum's six functor formalism.
We introduce a notion of homological flips and homological flops. The former includes the class of all flips between Gorenstein normal varieties; while the latter includes the class of all flops between Cohen-Macaulay normal varieties whose…
In~\cite{rotvandervorst} a homology theory --Morse-Conley-Floer homology-- for isolated invariant sets of arbitrary flows on finite dimensional manifolds is developed. In this paper we investigate functoriality and duality of this homology…
We provide base change theorems, projection formulae and Verdier duality for both cohomology and homology in the context of finite topological spaces
As is well-known, the Witten deformation of the De Rham complex computes the De Rham cohomology. In this paper we study the Witten deformation on a noncompact manifold and restrict it to differential forms which behave polynomially near…
