We prove a conjecture of Dale Peterson on positivity in the multiplication in the T-equivariant cohomology of the flag variety. The theorem follows from a more general positivity result about the equivariant cohomology of varieties with…

In our joint paper with W. Fulton (math.AG/9804041) we prove a formula for the cohomology class of a quiver variety. This formula involves a new class of generalized Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, all of which surprisingly seem to be…

We define a new type of Hall algebras associated e.g. with quivers with polynomial potentials. The main difference with the conventional definition is that we use cohomology of the stack of representations instead of constructible sheaves…

In recent years, a version of enumerative geometry over arbitrary fields has been developed and studied by Kass-Wickelgren, Levine, and others, in which the counts obtained are not integers but quadratic forms. Aiming to understand the…

A conjecture of Kac states that the polynomial counting the number of absolutely indecomposable representations of a quiver over a finite field with given dimension vector has positive coefficients and furthermore that its constant term is…

Using virtual localization in Witt sheaf cohomology, we show that the generating series of quadratic Donaldson-Thomas invariants of $(\mathbb{P}^1)^3$, valued in the Witt ring of $\mathbb{R}$, $W(\mathbb{R})\cong \mathbb{Z}$, is equal to…

We show that motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants of a~symmetric quiver $Q$, captured by the generating function $P_Q$, can be encoded in another quiver $Q^{(\infty)}$ of (almost always) infinite size, whose only arrows are loops, and whose…

We prove the crepant resolution conjecture for Donaldson-Thomas invariants of toric Calabi-Yau 3-orbifolds with transverse A-singularities.

We define and study refined Gopakumar-Vafa invariants of contractible curves in complex algebraic 3-folds, alongside the cohomological Donaldson--Thomas theory of finite-dimensional Jacobi algebras. These Gopakumar-Vafa invariants can be…

We conjecture that, if the quotient of two $q$-binomial coefficients with the same top argument is a polynomial, then it has non-negative coefficients. We summarise what is known about the conjecture and prove it in two non-trivial cases.…

For a natural class of cohomology theories with support (including \'etale or pro-\'etale cohomology with suitable coefficients), we prove a moving lemma for cohomology classes with support on smooth quasi-projective k-varieties that admit…

We present a positivity conjecture for the coefficients of the development of Jack polynomials in terms of power sums. This extends Stanley's ex-conjecture about normalized characters of the symmetric group. We prove this conjecture for…

This paper studies the Cohomological Donaldson-Thomas theory of $G$-local systems on the topological three torus. Using an exponential map we prove cohomological integrality for $\mathrm{GL}_n$-local systems using the statement of…

We give a short, geometric proof of Graham's theorem on positivity in the equivariant cohomology of a flag variety, based on a transversality argument.

For various 2-Calabi-Yau categories $\mathscr{C}$ for which the stack of objects $\mathfrak{M}$ has a good moduli space $p\colon\mathfrak{M}\rightarrow \mathcal{M}$, we establish purity of the mixed Hodge module complex…

We introduce the notion of combinatorial positivity of translation-invariant valuations on convex polytopes that extends the nonnegativity of Ehrhart h*-vectors. We give a surprisingly simple characterization of combinatorially positive…

We introduce a new class of representations of the cohomological Hall algebras of Kontsevich and Soibelman, which we call cohomological Hall modules, or CoHM for short. These representations are constructed from self-dual representations of…

In earlier work of three of the authors of the present paper, a supercommutative quadratic algebra was associated to each symmetric quiver, and a new proof of positivity of motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants of symmetric quivers was given…

In the paper \cite{KS}, Kontsevich and Soibelman in particular associate to each finite quiver $Q$ with a set of vertices $I$ the so-called Cohomological Hall algebra $\cH,$ which is $\Z_{\geq 0}^I$-graded. Its graded component…

In this paper, we prove the integrality conjecture for quotient stacks arising from weakly symmetric representations of reductive groups. Our main result is a decomposition of the cohomology of the stack into finite-dimensional components…
