We introduce a space of stable meromorphic differentials with poles of prescribed orders and define its tautological cohomology ring. This space, just as the space of holomorphic differentials, is stratified according to the set of…
In this paper, we mainly focus on formal deformation theory of module homomorphisms. We first introduce the cohomology of module homomorphisms and study formal one-parameter deformation. We obtain some properties about obstructions. Then we…
The aim of this article is to study certain categorical-algebraic frameworks for basic homological algebra, introduced in arXiv:2404.15896, with the aim of better understanding the differences between them. We focus on homological…
This chapter sets out preliminaries for the duality theory in later chapters. An underlying idea is that local cohomology functors are higher derived functors of colocalizations (a.k.a.~coreflections). Predominantly well-known facts about…
We develop sheaf theory in the context of difference algebraic geometry. We introduce categories of difference sheaves and develop the appropriate cohomology theories. As specializations, we get difference Galois cohomology, difference…
We interpret the complexes defining rack cohomology in terms of a certain differential graded bialgebra. This yields elementary algebraic proofs of old and new structural results for this cohomology theory. For instance, we exhibit two…
This article aims to introduce to the uninitiated, in just four lectures of 26 pages, the wonderful techniques of sheaf cohomology, hypercohomology, and spectral sequences.
For groups of prime order, equivariant stable maps between equivariant representation spheres are investigated using the Borel cohomology Adams spectral sequence. Features of the equivariant stable homotopy category, such as stability and…
This is an introduction to the study of abstract homotopy theory by means of model categories and $(\infty,1)$-categories. The only prerequisites are very basic general topology and abstract algebra. None categorical background is needed.…
This short note is an "elementary'' introduction to the conjectural theory of motives.
In this article, we introduce the first degrees of a cochain complex associated to a strict Lie 2-group whose cohomology is shown to extend the classical cohomology theory of Lie groups. In particular, we show that the second cohomology…
These notes are designed for those who either plan to work in differential geometry, or at least want to have a good reason not to do it. We discuss smooth curves and surfaces -- the main gate to differential geometry. We focus on the…
These lecture notes provide an introduction to the theory and application of symmetry methods for ordinary differential equations, building on minimal prerequisites. Their primary purpose is to enable a quick and self-contained approach for…
This is an overview on derived nonhomogeneous Koszul duality over a field, mostly based on the author's memoir arXiv:0905.2621. The paper is intended to serve as a pedagogical introduction and a summary of the covariant duality between…
Simplicial formal maps were introduced in the first paper, (math.QA/0512032), of this series as a tool for studying Homotopy Quantum Field Theories with background a general homotopy 2-type. Here we continue their study, showing how a…

We introduce a new homological machine for the study of secondary geometric invariants. The objects, called spark complexes, occur in many areas of mathematics. The theory is applied here to establish the equivalence of a large family of…
We survey various approaches to axiomatic stable homotopy theory, with examples including derived categories, categories of (possibly equivariant or localized) spectra, and stable categories of modular representations of finite groups. We…
A brief exposition of the general theory of characteristic classes of quantum principal bundles is given. The theory of quantum characteristic classes incorporates ideas of classical Weil theory into the conceptual framework of…
We introduce a notion of oriented dialgebra and develop a cohomology theory for oriented dialgebras based on the possibility to mix the standard chain complexes computing group cohomology and associative dialgebra cohomology. We also…
