For a proper smooth variety of even dimension over a field of characteristic different from 2 or l, the second Stiefel-Whitney class of the l-adic cohomology and the second Hasse-Witt class of the de Rham cohomology are both defined in the…
This is a slightly corrected version of the article published by Functional Analysis and its Applications in 1993. We define the quadratic duality for algebras with nonhomogeneous relations; the duality between the algebra of differential…
For each ordinal $\alpha<\omega_1$, we introduce the class of $\alpha$-balanced Polish groups. These classes form a hierarchy that completely stratifies the space between the class of Polish groups admitting a two-side-invariant metric…
We calculate relations on characteristic classes which are obstructions preventing closed K\"ahler manifolds from carrying holomorphic Cartan geometries. We apply these relations to give global constraints on the phase spaces of complex…
Based on the combinatorial description of the moduli spaces of curves provided by Strebel differentials, Witten and Kontsevich have introduced combinatorial cohomology classes $W_{(m_0,m_1,m_2,\dots),n}$, and conjectured that these can be…
We consider two families of equivalence classes in the Weyl groups of type $B_n$ which are suggested by the study of left cells in unequal parameter Iwahori-Hecke algebras. Both families are indexed by a non-negative integer $r$. For $r=0$,…
Double ramification loci parametrise marked curves where a weighted sum of the markings is linearly trivial; higher-rank loci are obtained by imposing several such conditions simultaneously. We obtain closed formulae for the orbifold Euler…
This is a concise introduction to Fomin-Zelevinsky's cluster algebras and their links with the representation theory of quivers in the acyclic case. We review the definition of cluster algebras (geometric, without coefficients), construct…
Within the frame of a Group Approach to Quantization anomalies arise in a quite natural way. We present in this talk an analysis of the basic obstructions that can be found when we try to translate symmetries of the Newton equations to the…
We construct an Euler system -- a compatible family of global cohomology classes -- for the Galois representations appearing in the geometry of Hilbert modular surfaces. If a conjecture of Bloch and Kato on injectivity of regulator maps…
Baez asks whether the Euler characteristic (defined for spaces with finite homology) can be reconciled with the homotopy cardinality (defined for spaces with finite homotopy). We consider the smallest infinity category…
We analyze a new family of weighted double Hurwitz numbers that was introduced as a notable example in the context of the $x-y$ duality for logarithmic topological recursion. We use this family to systematically demonstrate, refine and…
In this paper, we study Euler classes in groups of homeomorphisms of Seifert fibered 3-manifolds. We show that, in contrast to the familiar Euler class for $\mathrm{Homeo}_0(S^1)^\delta$, these Euler classes for…
We prove homology stability for elementary and special linear groups over rings with many units improving known stability ranges. Our result implies stability for unstable Quillen K-groups and proves a conjecture of Bass. For commutative…
The local Euler obstructions and the Euler characteristics of linear sections with all hyperplanes on a stratified projective variety are key geometric invariants in the study of singularity theory. Despite their importance, in general it…
We compute the Chow-Witt rings of the classifying spaces for the symplectic and special linear groups. In the structural description we give, contributions from real and complex realization are clearly visible. In particular, the…
We study extensively the homotopy theory of coalgebras. By coalgebras, we mean the full theory of coalgebras: with counits and not necessarily locally conilpotent. For example $\mathcal E_\infty$-coalgebras, $\mathcal A_\infty$-coalgebras,…
The congruence subgroups $\Gamma_1(m,p)$ that we consider here are subgroups of $GL_m(\Z)$ that fix the vector $(0,\dots,0,1) \mod p$, where $p\geq 5$ is a prime. We present a method and many computations of homological Euler…
This paper introduces a categorification of $k$-algebras called 2 -algebras, where k is a commutative ring. We define the 2-algebras as a 2-category with single object in which collections of all 1-morphisms and all 2-morphisms are…
We present a geometric approach, in the spirit of the Chern-Weil theory, for constructing cocycles representing the classes of the Hopf cyclic cohomology of the Hopf algebra H(n) relative to GL(n, R). This provides an explicit description…
