We describe a construction of geometric U-folds compatible with a non-trivial extension of the global formulation of four-dimensional extended supergravity on a differentiable spin manifold. The topology of geometric U-folds depends on…
We discuss secondary (and higher) characteristic classes for algebraic vector bundles with trivial top Chern class. We show that if X is a smooth affine scheme of dimension d over a field k of finite 2-cohomological dimension (with char(k)…
Given a discrete group $G$, for any integer $r\geqslant0$ we consider the family of all virtually abelian subgroups of $G$ of rank at most $r$. We give an upper bound for the Bredon cohomological dimension of $G$ for this family for a…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $V$ be a $G$-representation. We investigate the $RO(G)$-graded Bredon cohomology with constant integral coefficients of the space of ordered configurations in $V$. In the case that $V$ contains a trivial…
Given a discrete group $G$ with a finite model for $\underline{E}G$, we study $K(n)^*(BG)$ and $E^*(BG)$, where $K(n)$ is the $n$-th Morava $K$-theory for a given prime and $E$ is the height $n$ Morava $E$-theory. In particular we…
We construct Chern-Simons bundles as $\mathrm{Aut}^{+}P$-equivariant $U(1)$ -bundles with connection over the space of connections $\mathcal{A}_{P}$ on a principal $G$-bundle $P\rightarrow M$. We show that the Chern-Simons bundles are…
Let $G$ be an algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth $G$-variety with two orbits: an open orbit and a a closed orbit of codimension $1$. We give an algebraic description of the category of $G$-equivariant vector bundles on $X$ under a mild…
We study the interplay among Wall's $D(2)$ problem, normal generation conjecture (the Wiegold Conjecture) of perfect groups and Swan's problem on partial Euler characteristic and deficiency of groups. In particular, for a 3-dimensional…
We show that any soluble group $G$ of type Bredon-$\FP_{\infty}$ with respect to the family of all virtually cyclic subgroups such that centralizers of infinite order elements are of type $\FP_{\infty}$ must be virtually cyclic. To prove…
For a discrete group G, we represent the Bredon cohomology with local coefficients as the homotopy classes of maps in the category of equivaraint crossed complexes. Subsequently, we construct a naive parametrized G-spectrum, such that the…
The cohomology of the degree-$n$ general linear group over a finite field of characteristic $p$, with coefficients also in characteristic $p$, remains poorly understood. For example, the lowest degree previously known to contain nontrivial…
It is well known that the category of quasi-coherent sheaves on a gerbe banded by a diagonalizable group decomposes according to the characters of the group. We establish the corresponding decomposition of the unbounded derived category of…
Let G be a semi simple linear algebraic group over a field of characteristic zero and let V be a finite dimensional irreducible G-module with highest weight vector v. Let P in G be the parabolic subgroup fixing v and let g=Lie(G). We get a…
Suppose $S$ is an affine, noetherian scheme, $X$ is a separated, noetherian $S$-scheme, $\mathcal{E}$ is a coherent ${\mathcal{O}}_{X}$-bimodule and $\mathcal{I} \subset T(\mathcal{E})$ is a graded ideal. We study the geometry of the…
We compute the equivariant K-homology of the groups PSL_2 of imaginary quadratic integers with trivial and non-trivial class-group. This was done before only for cases of trivial class number. We rely on reduction theory in the form of the…
We advocate that a generalized Kronheimer construction of the K\"ahler quotient crepant resolution $\mathcal{M}_\zeta \longrightarrow \mathbb{C}^3/\Gamma$ of an orbifold singularity where $\Gamma\subset \mathrm{SU(3)}$ is a finite subgroup…
In this short note, we provide a calculation of the Euler characteristic of a finite homotopy colimit of finite cell complexes, which depends only on the Euler characteristics of each space and resembles Mobius inversion. Versions of the…
Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two. Let r be a prime number and \xi a holomorphic line bundle on it such that r is not a divisor of degree(\xi). Let {\mathcal M}_\xi(r) denote the moduli space of stable…
We introduce the degree and local degree in equivariant motivic homotopy theory for the purpose of studying equivariant enumerative problems over general fields. Given a finite, tame group scheme $G$ over a field $k$ and an equivariant…
Let A be the path algebra of a quiver Q with no oriented cycle. We study geometric properties of the Grassmannians of submodules of a given A-module M. In particular, we obtain some sufficient conditions for smoothness, polynomial…
