We study the ring of characteristic classes with values in the Chow ring for principal $G$-bundles over schemes. If we consider bundles which are locally trivial in the Zariski topology, then we show, for $G$ reductive, that this ring is…
Indices of singular points of a vector field or of a 1-form on a smooth manifold are closely related with the Euler characteristic through the classical Poincar\'e--Hopf theorem. Generalized Euler characteristics (additive topological…
Motivated by the theory of bi-singular pseudodifferential operators, we introduce a two dimensional version of the Adler-Manin trace. Our construction is rather general in the sense that it involves a twist afforded by an algebra…
Representations of certain vertex algebras, here called of CohFT-type, can be used to construct vector bundles of coinvariants and conformal blocks on moduli spaces of stable curves [DGT2]. We show that such bundles define semisimple…
By using combinatorics, we give a new proof for the recurrence relations of the characteristic polynomial coefficients, and then we obtain an explicit expression for the generic term of the coefficient sequence, which yields the trace…
Characteristic classes of fibre bundles $E^{d+n}\to B^n$ in the category of closed oriented manifolds give rise to characteristic numbers by integrating the classes over the base. Church, Farb and Thibault [CFT] raised the question of which…
Algebraic cycles on complex projective space P(V) are known to have beautiful and surprising properties. Therefore, when V carries a real or quaternionic structure, it is natural to ask for the properties of the groups of real or…
We identify Melrose's suspended algebra of pseudodifferential operators with a subalgebra of the algebra of parametric pseudodifferential operators with parameter space $\R$. For a general algebra of parametric pseudodifferential operators,…
We extend the Chern character on K-theory, in its generalization to the Chern-Dold character on generalized cohomology theories, further to (twisted, differential) non-abelian cohomology theories, where its target is a non-abelian de Rham…
A characterization is given for directed graphs that yield graph $C^*$-algebras with continuous trace. This is established for row-finite graphs with no sources first using a groupoid approach, and extended to the general case via the…
We develop a theory of generalized characters of local systems in $\infty$-categories, which extends classical character theory for group representations and, in particular, the induced character formula. A key aspect of our approach is…
In the paper I introduce a new characteristic class $c(E)$ for a finite rank vector bundle $E$ on an affine scheme $S:=Spec(A)$ - the fundamental class of $E$. The class $c(E)$ is not a characteristic class in the classical sense in the…
Given a smooth manifold $M$ (with or without boundary), in this paper we study the regularisation of traces for the global pseudo-differential calculus in the context of non-harmonic analysis. Indeed, using the global pseudo-differential…
In previous work, we gave a local formula for the index of Heisenberg elliptic operators on contact manifolds. We constructed a cocycle in periodic cyclic cohomology which, when paired with the Connes-Chern character of the principal…
We show that tautological integrals on Hilbert schemes of points can be written in terms of universal polynomials in Chern numbers. The results hold in all dimensions, though they strengthen known results even for surfaces by allowing…
We give an algebro-geometric construction of the Hitchin connection, valid also in positive characteristic (with a few exceptions). A key ingredient is a substitute for the Narasimhan-Atiyah-Bott K\"ahler form that realizes the Chern class…
We compute the Schur indices in the presence of some line operators based on our con- jectural formula introduced in [1]. In particular, we focus on the rank 1 superconformal field theories with the enhanced global symmetry and the free…
Using the Wodzicki residue, we build Wodzicki-Chern-Simons (WCS) classes in $H^{2k-1}(LM)$ associated to the residue Chern character on the loop space $LM$ of a Riemannian manifold $M^{2k-1}$. These WCS classes are associated to the $L^2$…
We classify nef vector bundles on a smooth quadric surface with first Chern class $(2,2)$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.
We construct the algebraic cobordism theory of bundles and divisors on smooth varieties. It has a simple basis (over Q) from projective spaces and its rank is equal to the number of Chern invariants. As an application we study the number of…
