In this article we introduce the notion of a 'good model' in order to study the higher obstructions of complex supermanifolds. We identify necessary and sufficient conditions for such models to exist. Illustrations over Riemann surfaces are…
We develop a formal moduli theory for the splitting problem of complex supermanifolds. Starting from Green's obstruction tower, we construct a finite-step filtered dg Lie algebra which controls splittings by filtered Maurer-Cartan theory.…
We develop an obstruction theory for Hirsch extensions of cbba's with twisted coefficients. This leads to a variety of applications, including a structural theorem for minimal cbba's, a construction of relative minimal models with twisted…
We classify indecomposable non-projective Gorenstein-projective modules over a monomial algebra via the notion of perfect paths. We apply this classification to a quadratic monomial algebra and describe explicitly the stable category of its…
We introduce notions of finiteness obstruction, Euler characteristic, L^2-Euler characteristic, and M\"obius inversion for wide classes of categories. The finiteness obstruction of a category Gamma of type (FP) is a class in the projective…
Let $X^\bullet$ be a cosimplicial object in a pointed $\infty$-category. We show that the fiber of $\mathrm{Tot}_m(X^\bullet) \to \mathrm{Tot}_n(X^\bullet)$ depends only on the pointed cosimplicial object $\Omega^k X^\bullet$ and is in…
The work of Oh and Park ([OP]) on the deformation problem of coisotropic submanifolds opened the possibility of studying a large and interesting class of foliations with some explicit geometric tools. These tools assemble into the structure…
We introduce higher-order support varieties for pairs of modules over a commutative local complete intersection ring, and give a complete description of which varieties occur as such support varieties. In the context of a group algebra of a…
In this paper, we construct proper pushforwards and flat pullbacks in Chow groups of coherent sheaf stacks over a Deligne-Mumford(DM) stack. When there is a relative semi-perfect obstruction theory for a DM-type morphism $X \to Y$, $X$ is a…
We set up a formalism of Maurer-Cartan moduli sets for L-infinity algebras and associated twistings based on the closed model category structure on formal differential graded algebras (a.k.a. differential graded coalgebras). Among other…
This article concerns a question asked by M. V. Nori on homotopy of sections of Projective modules defined on the polynomial algebra over a smooth affine domain $R$. While this question has an affirmative answer, it is known that the…
We study rings of integral modular forms for congruence subgroups as modules over the ring of integral modular forms for the full modular group. In many cases these modules are free or decompose at least into well-understood pieces. We…
The theory of support varieties gives a rich supply of examples of thick subcategories of the stable module category of a finite group algebra. We study direct sum decompositions of such categories. We give examples where there are finer…
We consider the general problem of deforming a surjective map of modules $f : E \to F$ over a coproduct sheaf of rings $B=B_1 \otimes_A B_2$ when the domain module $E = B_1 \otimes_A E_2$ is obtained via extension of scalars from a…
We investigate gauge anomalies in the context of orbifold conformal field theories. Such anomalies manifest as failures of modular invariance in the constituents of the orbifold partition function. We review how this irregularity is…
After introducing some cohomology classes as obstructions to orientation and spin structures etc., we explain some applications of cohomology to physical problems, in special to reduced holonomy in M- and F-theory.
We develop a framework for derived deformation theory, valid in all characteristics. This gives a model category reconciling local and global approaches to derived moduli theory. In characteristic 0, we use this to show that the homotopy…
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…
The aim of this paper is to study co-prolongations of central extensions. We construct the obstruction theory for co-prolongations and classify the equivalence classes of these by kernels of a homomorphisms between 2-dimensional cohomology…
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…
