We introduce a complete obstruction to the existence of nonvanishing vector fields on a closed orbifold $Q$. Motivated by the inertia orbifold, the space of multi-sectors, and the generalized orbifold Euler characteristics, we construct for…

In order to understand the structure of the cohomologies involved in the study of projectively equivariant quantizations, we introduce a notion of affine representation of a Lie algebra.We show how it is related to linear representations…

Translators in the special linear group $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ are surfaces whose mean curvature $H$ and unit normal vector $N$ satisfy $H=\langle N,X\rangle$, where $X$ is a fixed Killing vector field. In this paper we study and classify those…

A notion of Cartan pairs as an analogy of vector fields in the realm of noncommutative geometry has been proposed in q-alg/9609011 In this paper we give an outline of the construction of a noncommutative analogy of the algebra of partial…

In these notes we study left-invariant involutive structures on $\mathrm{SU}(2)$, the most na\"ive non-commutative compact Lie group. We determine closedness of the range (in the smooth topology) of a single complex vector field spanning…

A theory of characteristic classes of vector bundles and smooth manifolds plays an important role in the theory of smooth manifolds. An investigation of reasonable notions of characteristic classes of singular spaces started since a…

Semifields are semirings in which every nonzero element has a multiplicative inverse. A rough classification uses the characteristic of the semifield, that is the isomorphism type of the semifield generated by the two neutral elements. For…

We construct pairs of compact K\"ahler-Einstein manifolds $(M_i,g_i,\omega_i)$ ($i=1,2)$ of complex dimension $n$ with the following properties: The canonical line bundle $L_i=\bigwedge^n T^*M_i$ has Chern class $[\omega_i/2\pi]$, and for…

This paper investigates the cohomological property of vector bundles on biprojective space. We will give a criterion for a vector bundle to be isomorphic to the tensor product of pullbacks of exterior products of differential sheaves.

We construct a functor which maps conjugate pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of a surface to the so-called stably isomorphic stationary AF-algebras; the functor gives new topological invariants of three dimensional manifolds coming from the…

A Q-manifold is a supermanifold equipped with an odd vector field that squares to zero. The notion of the modular class of a Q-manifold -- which is viewed as the obstruction to the existence of a Q-invariant Berezin volume -- is not well…

We develop a theory of arithmetic characteristic classes of (fully decomposed) automorphic vector bundles equipped with an invariant hermitian metric. These characteristic classes have values in an arithmetic Chow ring constructed by means…

Let $G$ be a real reductive connected Lie group and $\sigma$ an involution of $G$. Let $H$ denote the identity component of the group of fixed points of $\sigma$, $\mathfrak g$ the Lie algebra of $G$ and $\mathfrak q$ the -1 eigenspace of…

We show that the space of chains of smooth maps from spheres into a fixed compact oriented manifold has a natural structure of a transversal $d$-algebra. We construct a structure of transversal 1-category on the space of chains of maps from…

We give a new and self-contained proof of the existence and unicity of the flow for an arbitrary (not necessarily homogeneous) smooth vector field on a real supermanifold, and extend these results to the case of holomorphic vector fields on…

In this paper, we characterize arbitrary polynomial vector fields on $S^n$. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a degree one vector field on the odd-dimensional sphere $S^{2n-1}$ to be Hamiltonian. Additionally, we…

We describe a class of topological vector spaces admitting a mixing uniformly continuous operator group ${T_t}_{t\in\C^n}$ with holomorphic dependence on the parameter $t$. This result covers those existing in the literature. We also…

A natural explicit condition is given ensuring that an action of the multiplicative monoid of non-negative reals on a manifold F comes from homotheties of a vector bundle structure on F, or, equivalently, from an Euler vector field. This is…

Let X be a separated scheme of finite type over an algebraically closed field k and let m be a natural number. By an explicit geometric construction using torsors we construct a pairing between the first mod m Suslin homology and the first…

Using a homological invariant together with an obstruction class in a certain Ext^2-group, we may classify objects in triangulated categories that have projective resolutions of length two. This invariant gives strong classification results…
