In this thesis we give a construction of cyclic cocycles on convolution algebras twisted by gerbes over discrete translation groupoids. In his seminal book, Connes constructs a map from the equivariant cohomology of a manifold carrying the…
In this paper we investigate fixed-point numbers of endomorphisms on complex tori. Specifically, motivated by the asymptotic perspective that has turned out in recent years to be so fruitful in Algebraic Geometry, we study how the number of…
We describe the equivariant cobordism ring of smooth toric varieties. This equivariant description is used to compute the ordinary cobordism ring of such varieties.
Twisted K-theory has received much attention recently in both mathematics and physics. We describe some models of twisted K-theory, both topological and geometric. Then we state a theorem which relates representations of loop groups to…
We offer here a more direct approach to twisted K-theory, based on the notion of twisted vector bundles (of finite or infinite dimension) and of twisted principal bundles. This is closeely related to the classical notion ot torsors and…
The twist construction is a method to build new interesting examples of geometric structures with torus symmetry from well-known ones. In fact it can be used to construct arbitrary nilmanifolds from tori. In our previous paper, we presented…
This work is concerned with the calculation of the fundamental group of torus knots. Torus knots are special types of knots which wind around a torus a number of times in the longitudinal and meridional directions. We compute and describe…
We show that the mod 2 Seiberg-Witten invariant can be determined for a spin manifold X which has the same homology groups as the 4-torus. The value depends on the structure of the cohomology ring of X, and in particular on the 4-fold cup…
We define equivariant projective unitary stable bundles as the appropriate twists when defining K-theory as sections of bundles with fibers the space of Fredholm operators over a Hilbert space. We construct universal equivariant projective…
The topological Hochschild homology of a ring (or ring spectrum) $R$ is an $S^1$-spectrum, and the fixed points of THH($R$) for subgroups $C_n\subset S^1$ have been widely studied due to their use in algebraic K-theory computations.…
We give a construction for twisted equivariant K-theory in the case of a proper action of a discrete group using twisted bundles. Our construction uses results of Lueck and Oliver to extend a construction of Adem and Ruan. We also show the…
The equivariant bordism classification of manifolds with group actions is an essential subject in the study of transformation groups. We are interesting in the action of 2-torus group $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$ and torus group $T^n$, and study the…
The paper is based on a talk. Complete exposition is given in "Equivariant Hirzebruch class for singular varieties". Starting from the classical theory we describe Hirzebruch class and the related Todd genus of a complex singular algebraic…
We investigate what information on the orbit type stratification of a torus action on a compact space is contained in its rational equivariant cohomology algebra. Regarding the (labelled) poset structure of the stratification we show that…
We study the space of conjugacy classes of subgroups of a compact Lie group G whose identity component is a torus, and consider how various invariants of subgroups behave as sheaves over this space. This feeds in to the author's programme…
The chiral equivariant cohomology contains and generalizes the classical equivariant cohomology of a manifold M with an action of a compact Lie group G. For any simple G, there exist compact manifolds with the same classical equivariant…
Considering the potential equivariant formality of the left action of a connected Lie group $K$ on the homogeneous space $G/K$, we arrive through a sequence of reductions at the case $G$ is compact and simply-connected and $K$ is a torus.…
Billey and Braden defined a geometric pattern map on flag manifolds which extends the generalized pattern map of Billey and Postnikov on Weyl groups. The interaction of this torus equivariant map with the Bruhat order and its action on line…
This is a survey on natural local torus actions which arise in integrable dynamical systems, and their relations with other subjects, including: reduced integrability, local normal forms, affine structures, monodromy, global invariants,…
The equivariant cohomology of a space with a group action is not only a ring but also an algebra over the cohomology ring of the classifying space of the acting group. We prove that toric manifolds (i.e. compact smooth toric varieties) are…
