The geometry of the Lie algebroid generalized tangent bundle of a generalized Lie algebroid is developed. Formulas of Ricci type and identities of Cartan and Bianchi type are presented. Introducing the notion of geodesic of a mechanical…

Given a complete and (locally) cartesian closed category U, it is shown that the category of functors from the category of Weil algebras to the category U is (locally, resp.) cartesian closed. The corresponding axiomatization for…

We study several structure aspects of functor categories from a small additive category to a module category, in particular the category F(A,K) of functors from finitely generated free modules over a commutative ring A to vector spaces over…

For any object A in a simplicial model category M, we construct a topological space \^A which classifies homogeneous functors whose value on k open balls is equivalent to A. This extends a classification result of Weiss for homogeneous…

Consider the functor describing deformations of a representation of the fundamental group of a variety X. This paper is chiefly concerned with establishing an analogue in finite characteristic of a result proved by Goldman and Millson for…

We identify Whittaker vectors for $\mathcal{W}_k(\mathfrak{g})$-modules with partition functions of higher Airy structures. This implies that Gaiotto vectors, describing the fundamental class in the equivariant cohomology of a suitable…

We give a concrete description of the category of etale algebras over the ring of Witt vectors of a given finite length with entries in an arbitrary ring. We do this not only for the classical p-typical and big Witt vector functors but also…

We present an introduction to the manifold calculus of functors, due to Goodwillie and Weiss. Our perspective focuses on the role the derivatives of a functor F play in this theory, and the analogies with ordinary calculus. We survey the…

Twisted generalized Weyl algebras (TGWAs) $A(R,\sigma,t)$ are defined over a base ring $R$ by parameters $\sigma$ and $t$, where $\sigma$ is an $n$-tuple of automorphisms, and $t$ is an $n$-tuple of elements in the center of $R$. We show…

Let ${\mathcal L}/{\mathcal K}$ be a finite Galois extension and let $X$ be an affine algebraic variety defined over ${\mathcal L}$. Weil's Galois descent theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for $X$ to be definable over…

The aim of this work is to lay the foundations of differential geometry and Lie theory over the general class of topological base fields and -rings for which a differential calculus has been developed in recent work (collaboration with H.…

We study generic representations of general linear groups over a finite ring R with coefficients in a field k in which the cardinality of R is invertible, that is functors from finitely-generated projective R-modules to k-vector spaces. We…

A wide class of skew derivations on degree-one generalized Weyl algebras $R(a,\varphi)$ over a ring $R$ is constructed. All these derivations are twisted by a degree-counting extensions of automorphisms of $R$. It is determined which of the…

Previously we showed that the tensor product of a weight module over a generalized Weyl algebra (GWA) with a weight module over another GWA is a weight module over a third GWA. In this paper we compute tensor products of simple and…

We construct a new Weil cohomology for smooth projective varieties over a field, universal among Weil cohomologies with values in rigid additive tensor categories. A similar universal problem for Weil cohomologies with values in rigid…

We show that the Whittaker functor on a regular block of the BGG-category $\mathcal{O}$ of a semisimple complex Lie algebra can be obtained by composing a translation to the wall functor with Soergel and Mili\v{c}i\'{c}'s equivalence…

We associate to each unital $C^*$-algebra $A$ a geometric object---a diagram of topological spaces representing quotient spaces of the noncommutative space underlying $A$---meant to serve the role of a generalized Gel'fand spectrum. After…

This is an account of the algebraic geometry of Witt vectors and arithmetic jet spaces. The usual, "p-typical" Witt vectors of p-adic schemes of finite type are already reasonably well understood. The main point here is to generalize this…

In this paper, we extend Waldhausen's results on algebraic K-theory of generalized free produts in a more general setting and we give some properties of the Nil functors. As a consequence, we get new groups with trivial Whitehead groups.

Let $K$ be a function field of one variable over a finite field $\mathbb{F}$. Weil's celebrated theorem states that the congruent zeta function of $K/\mathbb{F}$ is determined by the $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{F}}/\mathbb{F})$-module…
