Let $M$ be a real analytic manifold, $Z$ a closed subanalytic subset of $M$. We show that the Whitney-de Rham complex over $Z$ is quasi-isomorphic to the constant sheaf $\mathbb{C}_{Z}$

Let $X$ be a smooth projective $R$-scheme, where $R$ is a smooth $\Z$-algebra. As constructed by Hesselholt, we have the absolute big de Rham-Witt complex $\W\Omega^*_X$ of $X$ at our disposal. There is also a relative version…

We propose to study deformation quantizations of Whitney functions. To this end, we extend the notion of a deformation quantization to algebras of Whitney functions over a singular set, and show the existence of a deformation quantization…

Given a closed monotone symplectic manifold $M$, we define certain characteristic cohomology classes of the free loop space $L \text {Ham}(M, \omega)$ with values in $QH_* (M)$, and their $S^1$ equivariant version. These classes generalize…

We introduce smooth L^\infty differential forms on a singular (semialgebraic) set X in R^n. Roughly speaking, a smooth L^\infty differential form is a certain class of equivalence of 'stratified forms', that is, a collection of smooth forms…

We study the dg-algebra $\Omega ^\bullet_{A|\mathbb{R}}$ of algebraic de Rham forms of a real soft function algebra $A$, i.e., the algebra of global sections of a soft subsheaf of $C_X$, the sheaf of continuous functions on a space $X$. We…

We consider the algebra $A^0 (X)$ of polynomial functions on a simplicial complex $X$. The algebra $A^0 (X)$ is the $0$th component of Sullivan's dg-algebra $A^\bullet (X)$ of polynomial forms on $X$. Our main interest lies in computing the…

We complete the details of a theory outlined by Kontsevich and Soibelman that associates to a semi-algebraic set a certain graded commutative differential algebra of "semi-algebraic differential forms" in a functorial way. This algebra…

This is the second in a sequence of three articles exploring the relationship between commutative algebras and $E_\infty$-algebras in characteristic $p$ and mixed characteristic. Given a topological space $X,$ we construct, in a manner…

A classical result of A. Connes asserts that the Frechet algebra of smooth functions on a smooth compact manifold X provides, by a purely algebraic procedure, the de Rham cohomology of X. Namely the procedure uses Hochschild and cyclic…

The goal of this paper is to offer a new construction of the de Rham-Witt complex of smooth varieties over perfect fields of characteristic $p>0$. We introduce a category of cochain complexes equipped with an endomorphism $F$ of underlying…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple Lie algebra, and let $W_\kappa$ be the affine ${W}$-algebra associated to a principal nilpotent element of $\mathfrak{g}$ and level $\kappa$. We explain a duality between the categories of smooth ${W}$ modules…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ acts on a smooth complex variety $X$. Then this action lifts to the Chiral de Rham Complex of $X$ and to its cohomology by automorphisms of the vertex algebra structure. We define twisted sectors for the…

We generalize the functorial quasi-isomorphism in \cite{Davis2011} from overconvergent Witt de-Rham cohomology to rigid cohomology on smooth varieties over a finite field $k$, dropping the quasi-projectiveness condition. We do so by…

We show that the Hochschild cohomology of the algebra obtained by formal deformation quantization on a symplectic manifold is isomorphic to the formal series with coefficients in the de Rham cohomology of the manifold. The cohomology class…

Let $X$ be a smooth scheme over a finitely generated flat $\mathbb{Z}$-, $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$- or $\mathbb{Z}_p$-algebra $R$. Evaluated at finite truncation sets $S$, the relative de Rham-Witt complex $W_S\Omega_{X/R}^{\bullet}$ is a quotient…

In this paper, we study the perturbative aspects of the half-twisted variant of Witten's topological A-model coupled to a non-dynamical gauge field with Kahler target space X being a G-manifold. Our main objective is to furnish a purely…

On any Calabi-Yau manifold X one can define a certain sheaf of chiral N=2 superconformal field theories, known as the chiral de Rham complex of X. It depends only on the complex structure of X, and its local structure is described by a…

Let G be a general (not necessarily finite dimensional compact) Lie group, let g be its Lie algebra, let Cg be the cone on g in the category of differential graded Lie algebras, and consider the functor which assigns to a chain complex V…
