We provide a cohomological interpretation of the zeroth stable $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy group of a smooth curve over an infinite perfect field. We show that this group is isomorphic to the first Nisnevich (or Zariski) cohomology group of a…
The primary goal of this paper is to find a homotopy theoretic approximation to moduli spaces of holomorphic maps Riemann surfaces into complex projective space. There is a similar treatment of a partial compactification of these moduli…
The ordered eigenvalues define a Lipschitz map on the real vector space of Hermitian $d \times d$ matrices. We prove that this map acts continuously, but not uniformly continuously, by superposition on the Sobolev spaces $W^{1,q}$, for all…
In this paper we present a new proof of the homological stability of the moduli space of closed surfaces in a simply connected background space $K$, which we denote by $S_g (K)$. The homology stability of surfaces in $K$ with an arbitrary…
We develop a theory of motivic spectra in a broad generality; in particular $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy invariance is not assumed. As an application, we prove that $K$-theory of schemes is a universal Zariski sheaf of spectra which is equipped…
Over any field of characteristic not 2, we establish a 2-term resolution of the $\eta$-periodic, 2-local motivic sphere spectrum by shifts of the connective 2-local Witt K-theory spectrum. This is curiously similar to the resolution of the…
We develop a theory of stable bundles and affine Hermitian-Einstein metrics for flat vector bundles over a special affine manifold (a manifold admitting an atlas whose gluing maps are all locally constant volume-preserving affine maps). Our…
The present article studies the class of Einstein-Hermitian harmonic maps of constant Kaehler angle from the projective line into quadrics. We provide a description of their moduli spaces up to image, and gauge-equivalence using the…
We construct a non-$\mathbb{A}^1$-invariant motivic ring spectrum $\mathrm{KO}$ over $\mathrm{Spec}(\mathbb{Z})$, whose associated cohomology theory on qcqs derived schemes is the Grothendieck-Witt theory of classical symmetric forms (as…
We introduce a countable collection of positivity classes for Hermitian symmetric functions on a complex manifold, and establish their basic properties. We study a related notion of stability. The first main result shows that, if the…
Let $X$ be a normal compact K\"ahler variety, and $\mathcal{F}$ a coherent reflexive sheaf on $X$. We investigate the existence of admissible Hermitian metrics on $\mathcal{F}$. If moreover $\mathcal{F}$ is slope stable, we also study the…
We construct and compute a homotopy-theoretic model for the Bott spiral of symmetry-protected topological phases (SPTs) studied by Queiroz--Khalaf--Stern. We model free and interacting fermionic SPTs using K-theory and reflection-positive…
We construct the Schubert basis of the torus-equivariant K-homology of the affine Grassmannian of a simple algebraic group G, using the K-theoretic NilHecke ring of Kostant and Kumar. This is the K-theoretic analogue of a construction of…
Pseudo-hermitian matrices are matrices hermitian with respect to an indefinite metric. They can be thought of as the truncation of pseudo-hermitian operators, defined over some Krein space, together with the associated metric, to a finite…
We give a description of the value of a finitary localizing invariant, such as algebraic $K$-theory, on the category of sheaves on a locally coherent space $X$. This in particular includes all spaces that arise as spectra of commutative…
We study the PI degree of various quantum algebras at roots of unity, including quantum Grassmannians, quantum Schubert varieties, partition subalgebras, and their associated quantum affine spaces. By a theorem of De Concini and Procesi,…
The moduli spaces of stable quasimaps unify various moduli appearing in the study of Gromov-Witten Theory. This note is a survey article on the moduli of stable quasimaps, based on joint papers with Ciocan-Fontanine and Maulik as well as…
A kind of motivic stable homotopy theory of algebras is developed. Explicit fibrant replacements for the $S^1$-spectrum and $(S^1,\mathbb G)$-bispectrum of an algebra are constructed. As an application, unstable, Morita stable and stable…
Cohomological and K-theoretic stable bases originated from the study of quantum cohomology and quantum K-theory. Restriction formula for cohomological stable bases played an important role in computing the quantum connection of cotangent…
This is a companion to a recent investigation of K-theoretical invariants for symmetric spaces. We introduce a new class of cycles in K-groups, which are connected to elements of an underlying root lattice. This will be needed for a…
