We present an explicit method for translating between the linear sigma model and the spectral cover description of SU(r) stable bundles over an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifold. We use this to investigate the 4-dimensional duality…

We discuss various lifting and reduction problems for bundles and gerbes in the context of a strict Lie 2-group. We obtain a geometrical formulation (and a new proof) for the exactness of Breen's long exact sequence in non-abelian…

We prove an analogue of the Madsen-Weiss theorem for high dimensional manifolds. For example, we explicitly describe the ring of characteristic classes of smooth fibre bundles whose fibres are connected sums of g copies of S^n x S^n, in the…

By using the loop orbifold of the symmetric product, we give a formula for the Poincar\'e polynomial of the free loop space of the Borel construction of the symmetric product. We also show that the Chas-Sullivan product structure in the…

The $A(\inft)$-algebra structure in homology of a DG-algebra is constructed. This structure is unique up to isomorphism of $A(\infty)$ algebras. Connection of this structure with Massey products is indicated. The notion of…

For any simplicial complex $X$ with a total ordering of its vertices, one can construct a chain complex $\mathbb{L}_\bullet(X)$ generated by necklaces of simplices in $X$, which computes the homology of the free loop space of the geometric…

The mapping class group $\Gamma^k(N_g)$ of a non-orientable surface with punctures is studied via classical homotopy theory of configuration spaces. In particular, we obtain a non-orientable version of the Birman exact sequence. In the case…

We establish that for a fiber bundle $\pi: E \to B$, which is a Riemannian submersion, the volume spectrum of $E$ is bounded above by the product of the volume spectrum of $B$ and the volume of the largest fiber. Specifically, we prove the…

On the free loop space of compact symmetric spaces Ziller introduced explicit cycles generating the homology of the free loop space. We use these explicit cycles to compute the string topology coproduct on complex and quaternionic…

The equivariant cohomology ring of a GKM manifold is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of its GKM graph. In this paper we explore the implications of this fact for equivariant fiber bundles for which the total space and the base space are…

We study the moduli space M(G,A) of flat G-bundles on an Abelian surface A, where G is a compact, simple, simply connected, connected Lie group. Equivalently, M(G,A) is the (coarse) moduli space of s-equivalence classes of holomorphic…

Simplicial homology manifolds are proposed as an interesting class of geometric objects, more general than topological manifolds but still quite tractable, in which questions about the microstructure of space-time can be naturally…

In heterotic string theories consistency requires the introduction of a non-trivial vector bundle. This bundle breaks the original ten-dimensional gauge groups $\text{E}_8\times\text{E}_8$ or $\text{SO}(32)$ for the supersymmetric heterotic…

In this paper, we develop a structure theory for generalized spectral sequences, which are derived from chain complexes that are filtered over arbitrary partially ordered sets. Also, a more general construction method reminiscent of exact…

In the present paper we consider a special class of locally trivial bundles with fiber a matrix algebra. On the set of such bundles over a finite $CW$-complex we define a relevant equivalence relation. The obtained stable theory gives us a…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$, and let $D \subset X$ be a fixed finite subset. Let $\mathcal{M}(r,d,\alpha)$ denote the moduli space of stable parabolic $G$-bundles (where $G$ is a complex orthogonal or symplectic…

We define Symplectic cohomology groups for a class of symplectic fibrations with closed symplectic base and convex at infinity fiber. The crucial geometric assumption on the fibration is a negativity property reminiscent of negative…

One describes, using a detailed analysis of Atiyah--Hirzebruch spectral sequence, the tuples of cohomology classes on a compact, complex manifold, corresponding to the Chern classes of a complex vector bundle of stable rank. This…

We study closures of GL_2(R)-orbits on the total space of the Hodge bundle over the moduli space of curves under the assumption that they are algebraic manifolds. We show that, in the generic stratum, such manifolds are the whole stratum,…

Let $\pi: P\to B$ be a locally trivial fiber bundle over a connected CW complex $B$ with fiber equal to the closed symplectic manifold $(M,\om)$. Then $\pi$ is said to be a symplectic fiber bundle if its structural group is the group of…
