We present a new geometric interpretation of equivariant cohomology in which one replaces a smooth, complex $G$-variety $X$ by its associated arc space $J_{\infty} X$, with its induced $G$-action. This not only allows us to obtain geometric…

We show that the universal odd Chern form, defined on the stable unitary group $U$, extends to the loop group $LU$ in a way that is closed with respect to an equivariant-type differential. This provides an odd analogue to the Bismut-Chern…

Let $G$ be a Lie group and $G\to\Aut(G)$ be the canonical group homomorphism induced by the adjoint action of a group on itself. We give an explicit description of a 1-1 correspondence between Morita equivalence classes of, on the one hand,…

We initiate the study of deformation theory in the context of derived and higher log geometry. After reconceptualizing the "exactification"-procedures in ordinary log geometry in terms of Quillen's approach to the cotangent complex, we…

We introduce a new construction, the isotropy groupoid, to organize the orbit data for split $\Gamma$-spaces. We show that equivariant principal $G$-bundles over split $\Gamma$-CW complexes $X$ can be effectively classified by means of…

Building on the universal covering group of the general linear group, we introduce the composite spinor bundle whose subbundles are Lorentz spin structures associated with different gravitational fields. General covariant transformations of…

We prove the equivariant Leray-Hirsch theorem combinatorially for sufficiently good torus equivariant fiber bundles consisting of homogeneous spaces of Lie groups. We apply this theorem to determining the equivariant integral cohomology…

In a previous paper the author constructed biinvariant measures (possibly having values in a line bundle) for a loop group LK (with compact simply connected K) acting on the formal completion of its complexification LG. One motivation for…

A noncommutative-geometric generalization of classical Weil theory of characteristic classes is presented, in the conceptual framework of quantum principal bundles. A particular care is given to the case when the bundle does not admit…

Quantum homogeneous supervector bundles arising from the quantum general linear supergoup are studied. The space of holomorphic sections is promoted to a left exact covariant functor from a category of modules over a quantum parabolic…

The loop space $L\mathbb{P}_1$ of the Riemann sphere consisting of all $C^k$ or Sobolev $W^{k,p}$ maps from the circle $S^1$ to $\mathbb{P}_1$ is an infinite dimensional complex manifold. The loop group $LPGL(2,\mathbb{C})$ acts on…

Let $\Uq$ be a quantum group. Regarding a (noncommutative) space with $\Uq$-symmetry as a $\Uq$-module algebra $A$, we may think of equivariant vector bundles on $A$ as projective $A$-modules with compatible $\Uq$-action. We construct an…

In the theory of so called "Covariant Quantum Mechanics" a basic role is played by Hermitian vector fields on a complex line bundle in the frameworks of Galilei and Einstein spacetimes. In fact, it has been proved that the Lie algebra of…

In this work, generalized principal bundles modelled by Lie group bundle actions are investigated. In particular, the definition of equivariant connections in these bundles, associated to Lie group bundle connections, is provided, together…

The generalized Morita-Miller-Mumford classes of a smooth oriented manifold bundle are defined as the image of the characteristic classes of the vertical tangent bundle under the Gysin homomorphism. We show that if the dimension of the…

Let $R$ be a ring spectrum and $ E\to X$ an $R$-module bundle of rank $n$. Our main result is to identify the homotopy type of the group-like monoid of homotopy automorphisms of this bundle, $hAut^R(E)$. This will generalize the result…

Let $G$ be a finite group or a compact connected Lie group and let $BG$ be its classifying space. Let $\mathcal{L}BG:=map(S^1,BG)$ be the free loop space of $BG$ i.e. the space of continuous maps from the circle $S^1$ to $BG$. The purpose…

In this paper, we study cohomology groups of vector bundles on neighborhoods of a non-pluriharmonic locus in Stein manifolds and in projective manifolds. By using our results, we show variants of the Lefschetz hyperplane theorem.

We consider a closed odd-dimensional oriented manifold $M$ together with an acyclic flat hermitean vector bundle $\cF$. We form the trivial fibre bundle with fibre $M$ over the manifold of all Riemannian metrics on $M$. It has a natural…

It has been shown recently that the geometry of D-branes in general topologically twisted (2,2) sigma-models can be described in the language of generalized complex structures. On general grounds such D-branes (called generalized complex…
