We prove a formula for Chow groups of $Quot$-schemes which resolve degeneracy loci of a map between vector bundles, under expected dimension conditions. This result provides a unified way to understand known formulae for various geometric…

Let $C_{p,d}(\mathbb{P}^n)$ be the Chow variety of effective algebraic $p$-cycles of degree $d$ in complex projective $n$-space $\mathbb{P}^n$. In this paper, we compute the rational Chow groups…

A reciprocal linear space is the image of a linear space under coordinate-wise inversion. These fundamental varieties describe the analytic centers of hyperplane arrangements and appear as part of the defining equations of the central path…

We give an a priori construction of the two-dimensional reduction of three-dimensional quantum Chern-Simons theory. This reduction is a two-dimensional topological quantum field theory and so determines to a Frobenius ring, which here is…

We identify certain Gromov-Witten invariants counting rational curves with given incidence and tangency conditions with the Betti numbers of moduli spaces of point configurations in projective spaces. On the Gromov-Witten side, S. Fomin and…

We prove a reduced version of the Chevalley restriction conjecture on the commuting scheme posed by T.H. Chen and B.C. Ng\^o, extending the results of Hunziker for classical groups. In particular, we prove that for any connected reductive…

We compute the integral Chow ring of the quotient stack $[(\mathbb{P}^1)^n/PGL_2]$, which contains $\mathcal{M}_{0,n}$ as a dense open, and determine a natural $\mathbb{Z}$-basis for the Chow ring in terms of certain ordered incidence…

We construct a desingularization of the ``main component'' $\bar{\mathfrak M}_{1,k}^0(\Bbb{P}^n,d)$ of the moduli space $\bar{\mathfrak M}_{1,k}(\Bbb{P}^n,d)$ of genus-one stable maps into the complex projective space $\Bbb{P}^n$. As a…

We discuss the four-dimensional N=1 effective approach in the study of warped type II flux compactifications with SU(3)x SU(3)-structure to AdS_4 or flat Minkowski space-time. The non-trivial warping makes it natural to use a supergravity…

The leitmotiv of this review is noncommutative principal U(1)-bundles and associated line bundles. In the first part I give a brief introduction to Hopf-Galois theory and its applications, from field extensions to principal group actions. I…

It is shown that a (curved) projective structure on a smooth manifold determines on the Poisson algebra of smooth, fiberwise-polynomial functions on the cotangent bundle a one-parameter family of graded star products. For a particular value…

In this paper we construct arbitrarily large families of smooth projective varieties and closed Riemannian manifolds that share many algebraic and analytic invariants. For instance, every non-arithmetic, closed hyperbolic $3$--manifold…

Let $X$ be a complex smooth projective variety of dimension $d$. Under some assumption on the cohomology of $X$, we construct mutually orthogonal idempotents in $CH_d(X \times X) \otimes \Q$ whose action on algebraically trivial cycles…

We provide formulas for the Chern classes of linear submanifolds of the moduli spaces of Abelian differentials and hence for their Euler characteristic. This includes as special case the moduli spaces of k-differentials, for which we set up…

We introduce a derived enhancement of the moduli space of sections defined by Chang-Li, and we compute its tangent complex. Special cases of this moduli space include stable maps and stable quasi-maps. As an application, we prove that…

We construct an isomorphism of graded Frobenius algebras between the orbifold Chow ring of weighted projective spaces and graded algebras of groups of roots of the unity.

We present a formula for computing proper pushforwards of classes in the Chow ring of a projective bundle under the projection $\pi:\Pbb(\Escr)\rightarrow B$, for $B$ a non-singular compact complex algebraic variety of any dimension. Our…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus 2 and $D$ a very ample divisor with $\phi_D$ its associated embedding into $\mathbb{P}^{n}$. We consider the set $G_{X,D}$ of linear subspaces $W$ of $\mathbb{P}^n$ of codimension $2$ with…

Let $X \subseteq {\bf P}^N ={\bf P}^{2n}_K$ be a subvariety of dimension $n$ and $P \in {\bf P}^N$ a generic point. If the tangent variety Tan$ X$ is equal to ${\bf P}^N$ then for generic points $x$, $y$ of $X$ the projective tangent spaces…

We construct a quantum Dolbeault double complex $\oplus_{p,q}\Omega^{p,q}$ on the quantum plane $\Bbb C_q^2$. This solves the long-standing problem that the standard differential calculus on the quantum plane is not a $*$-calculus, by…
