This is the second in a series of papers. Here we develop here an intersection theory for manifolds equipped with an action of a finite group. As in our previous paper, our approach will be homotopy theoretic, enabling us to circumvent the…

We study the GKM theory for a equivariant stratified space having orbifold structures in tis successive quotients. Then, we introduce the notion of an \emph{almost simple polytope}, as well as a \emph{divisive toric variety} generalizing…

Stratifolds are considered from a categorical point of view. We show among others that the category of stratifolds fully faithfully embeds into the category of ${\mathbb R}$-algebras as does the category of smooth manifolds. We prove that a…

This is a survey on the equivariant cohomology of Lie group actions on manifolds, from the point of view of de Rham theory. Emphasis is put on the notion of equivariant formality, as well as on applications to ordinary cohomology and to…

This paper introduces a notion of decompositions of integral varifolds into countably many integral varifolds, and the existence of such decomposition of integral varifolds whose first variation is representable by integration is…

We axiomatically define (pre-)Hilbert categories. The axioms resemble those for monoidal Abelian categories with the addition of an involutive functor. We then prove embedding theorems: any locally small pre-Hilbert category whose monoidal…

This expository paper recounts the development and application of the concept of the diffeological groupoid, from its introduction in 1985 to its use in current research. We demonstrate how this single concept has served as a powerful and…

We embed the category of Moore spectra as a full subcategory of an abelian category, and make some remarks about abelian embeddings of various other categories of spectra.

Motivated by physics, we propose two conjectures regarding the cohomology ring of the crepant resolutions of orbifolds and cohomological invariants of K-equivalent manifolds.

We characterize Riemannian orbifolds and their coverings in terms of metric geometry. In particular, we show that the metric double of a Riemannian orbifold along the closure of its codimension one stratum is a Riemannian orbifold and that…

In this paper we introduce a notion of {\it generalized operad} containing as special cases various kinds of operad--like objects: ordinary, cyclic, modular, properads etc. We then construct inner cohomomorphism objects in their categories…

In this article we present a study of embeddings of complex supermanifolds. We are broadly guided by the question: when will a submanifold of a split supermanifold itself be split? As an application of our study, we will address this…

As a generalization of semi-invariant submersions, we introduce conformal semi-invariant submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We give examples, investigate the geometry of foliations which are arisen from…

We construct orbifolds with quasitoric boundary and show that they have stable almost complex structure. We show that a quasitoric orbifold is complex cobordant to finite disjoint copies of complex orbifold projective spaces. Finally some…

We develop the theory of multiplicative Ehresmann connections for Lie groupoid submersions covering the identity, as well as their infinitesimal counterparts. We construct obstructions to the existence of such connections, and we prove…

This article is the second part in the series of articles where we are developing theory of valuations on manifolds. Roughly speaking valuations could be thought as finitely additive measures on a class of nice subsets of a manifold which…

The CW structure of certain spaces, such as effective orbifolds, can be too complicated for computational purposes. In this paper we use the concept of $\mathbf{q}$-CW complex structure on an orbifold, to detect torsion in its integral…

We study differential forms and their higher-order generalizations by interpreting them as functions on map spaces. We get a series of approximations of "generalized manifolds" (i.e. of sheaves and stacks) somewhat akin to Taylor series.

We discuss properties of complex algebraic orbifold groups, their characteristic varieties, and their abelian covers. In particular, we deal with the question of (quasi)-projectivity of orbifold groups. We also prove a structure theorem for…

This paper gives an introduction to some results on monodromy groupoids and the monodromy principle, and then develops the notion of monodromy groupoid for group groupoids.
