Let X be a separated finite type scheme over a noetherian base ring K. There is a complex C(X) of topological O_X-modules on X, called the complete Hochschild chain complex of X. To any O_X-module M - not necessarily quasi-coherent - we…

We study the locus of smooth hypersurfaces inside the Hilbert scheme of a smooth projective complex variety. In the spirit of scanning, we construct a map to a continuous section space of a projective bundle, and show that it induces an…

Given a smooth toric variety X and an ample line bundle O(1), we construct a sequence of Lagrangian submanifolds of (C^*)^n with boundary on a level set of the Landau-Ginzburg mirror of X. The corresponding Floer homology groups form a…

We develop two connections between the quantitative framework of operator $K$-theory for geometric $C^*$-algebras and the problem of positive scalar curvature. First, we introduce a quantitative notion of higher index and use it to give a…

Smooth K-functors are introduced and the smooth K-theory of locally convex algebras is developed. It is proved that the algebraic and smooth K-functors are isomorphic on the category of quasi stable real (or complex) Frechet algebras.

Let P be a connected smooth p-manifold. We describe the group of all cobordism classes of smooth maps of n-manifolds to P with singularities of a given $cal K$-invariant class in terms of certain stable homotopy groups by applying the…

In this paper we consider the K-theory of smooth algebraic stacks, establish lambda and gamma operations, and show that the higher K-theory of such stacks is always a pre-lambda-ring, and is a lambda-ring if every coherent sheaf is the…

We extend the notion of a spectral triple to that of a higher-order relative spectral triple, which accommodates several types of hypoelliptic differential operators on manifolds with boundary. The bounded transform of a higher-order…

For a reductive group $G$, Harder-Narasimhan theory gives a structure theorem for principal $G$ bundles on a smooth projective curve $C$. A bundle is either semistable, or it admits a canonical parabolic reduction whose associated Levi…

We study the Thurston norm on the second homology of a 3-manifold M, which is the surface bundle over the circle with a pseudo-Anosov monodromy. A novelty of our approach consists in the application of the C*-algebras to a problem in…

On an odd-dimensional oriented hyperbolic manifold of finite volume with strongly acyclic coefficient systems, we derive a formula relating analytic torsion with the Reidemeister torsion of the Borel-Serre compactification of the manifold.…

We prove that stably isomorphic vector bundles of rank d-1 on a smooth affine d-fold X over an algebraically closed field k are indeed isomorphic, provided d! is invertible in k. This answers an old conjecture of Suslin.

The simplest case of a manifold with singularities is a manifold M with boundary, together with an identification of the boundary with a product M1 x P, where P is a fixed manifold. The associated singular space is obtained by collapsing P…

Let ${\rm Mold}_{n, d}$ be the moduli of rank $d$ subalgebras of ${\rm M}_n$ over ${\Bbb Z}$. For $x \in {\rm Mold}_{n, d}$, let ${\mathcal A}(x) \subseteq {\rm M}_n(k(x))$ be the subalgebra of ${\rm M}_n$ corresponding to $x$, where $k(x)$…

We introduce a simplified (coarse) version of pseudo-differential calculus for operators of order zero on complete Riemannian manifolds. This calculus works for the usual Hormander (1,0) class of operators, as well as for…

We introduce configured group cohomology, a variant of locally smooth cohomology built from well-configured tuples and geometric fillings. This framework yields explicit locally smooth $\R/\Z$-valued $3$-cocycles of Chern--Simons type on…

We compute explicitly the K-groups of some boundary groupoid C*-algebras with exponential isotropy subgroups. Then we derive index formulas that computes the K-theoretic and Fredholm indexes of elliptic (respectively totally elliptic)…

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…

Let M be a smooth connected compact surface, P be either the real line R^1 or the circle S^1. For a subset X of M denote by D(M,X) the group of diffeomorphisms of M fixed on X. In this note we consider a special class F of smooth maps…

We define an analytical index map and a topological index map for conical pseudomanifolds. These constructions generalize the analogous constructions used by Atiyah and Singer in the proof of their topological index theorem for a smooth,…
