We construct a new category of vector spaces which contains both the standard category of vector spaces and Grassmannians. Its space of objects classifies vector bundles, its space of morphisms classifies bundle isomorphisms, and it can be…

We use homogeneous spectra of multigraded rings to construct toric embeddings of a large family of projective varieties which preserve some of the birational geometry of the underlying variety, generalizing the well-known construction…

We review the concept of a graded bundle as a natural generalisation of a vector bundle. Such geometries are particularly nice examples of more general graded manifolds. With hindsight there are many examples of graded bundles that appear…

Vector beams are often regarded as non-separable superpositions of spatial and polarization degrees of freedom that satisfy the wave equation. This interpretation ties their polarization structure to their spatial shape. Here, we introduce…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group and let $X$ be a smooth $G$-variety with two orbits: an open orbit and a a closed orbit of codimension $1$. We give an algebraic description of the category of $G$-equivariant vector bundles on $X$ under a mild…

Orthogonal decomposition of tensors is a generalization of the singular value decomposition of matrices. In this paper, we study the spectral theory of orthogonally decomposable tensors. For such a tensor, we give a description of its…

In this revised version (August 2025), we add a survey of \infty-categorical (co)limits and a replacement lemma for higher functoriality (Lem. 1.4.5), a framework for explicit models of punctured tubular neighborhoods ({\S}3.4), and a new…

This is an expository account of the following result: we can construct a group by means of twisted Z_2-graded vectorial bundles which is isomorphic to K-theory twisted by any degree three integral cohomology class.

We compute some Hodge and Betti numbers of the moduli space of stable rank $r$ degree $d$ vector bundles on a smooth projective curve. We do not assume $r$ and $d$ are coprime. In the process we equip the cohomology of an arbitrary…

Boij-S\"oderberg theory describes the Betti diagrams of graded modules over the polynomial ring up to multiplication by a rational number. Analog Eisenbud-Schreyer theory also describes the cohomology tables of vector bundles on projective…

We construct examples of non-isomorphic algebraic vector bundles on the punctured affine space with isomorphic pullbacks to the smooth quadric.

The article is devoted to microbundles over topological rings. Their structure, homomorphisms, automorphisms and extensions are studied. Moreover, compactifications and inverse spectra of microbundles over topological rings are…

We define and study a certain category of vector bundles on a p-adic curve to which we can associate in a functorial way finite dimensional p-adic representations of the geometric fundamental group. Among other things we investigate two…

For a compact group G, we give a sufficient condition for embedding one G-equivariant vector bundle into another one and for a stable isomorphism between two such bundles to imply an isomorphism. Our criteria involve multiplicities of…

The quantization of vector bundles is defined. Examples are constructed for the well controlled case of equivariant vector bundles over compact coadjoint orbits. (Coadjoint orbits are symplectic spaces with a transitive, semisimple symmetry…

Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…

This is a review of the basic concepts of the theory of real and complex smooth vector bundles with finite rank. Besides, the concept of a tensor field is studied within the general framework of a smooth vector bundle rather than a smooth…

We construct a family of rings. To a plane diagram of a tangle we associate a complex of bimodules over these rings. Chain homotopy equivalence class of this complex is an invariant of the tangle. On the level of Grothendieck groups this…

We estimate the dimensions of the spaces of holomorphic sections of certain line bundles to give improved lower bounds on the index of complex isotropic harmonic maps to complex projective space from the sphere and torus, and in some cases…

We study the orientability of vector bundles with respect to a family of cohomology theories called $\mathrm{EO}$-theories. The $\mathrm{EO}$-theories are higher height analogues of real $\mathrm{K}$-theory $\mathrm{KO}$. For each…
