In this paper we study effective recursion formulae for computing intersection numbers of mixed $\psi$ and $\kappa$ classes on moduli spaces of curves. By using the celebrated Witten-Kontsevich theorem, we generalize Mulase-Safnuk form of…
We introduce trim resolutions of complex algebraic varieties, a strengthening of the notion of small resolution. We prove that the characteristic cycle of the intersection cohomology sheaf of a variety admitting a trim resolution is…
We devise some differential forms after Chern to compute a family of formulas for comparing total mean curvatures of nested hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds. This yields a quicker proof of a recent result of the author with Joel…
Oriented closed curves on an orientable surface with boundary are described up to continuous deformation by reduced cyclic words in the generators of the fundamental group and their inverses. By self-intersection number one means the…
Classically the Chern-classes of a locally free coherent A-module W are defined using the curvature of a connection. If we more generally consider the problem of defining Chern-classes where W is a coherent A-module, a connection might not…
We prove that finiteness of the index of the intersection of a finite set of finite index subalgebras in a von Neumann algebra (with small centre) is equivalent to the finite dimensionality of the algebra generated by the conditional…
In this paper we introduce the Chern minimal surface in Hermitian surfaces by using the Chern connection, and we show that it only has isolated complex and anticomplex points for a generic one (neither holomorphic nor antiholomorphic). For…
Developing ideas based on combinatorial formulas for characteristic classes we introduce the algebra modeling secondary characteristic classes associated to $N$ connections. Certain elements of the algebra correspond to the ordinary and…
In this paper, we study the homogeneous components of the Chern--Schwartz--MacPherson (CSM) classes of Schubert cells. We prove that, under suitable conditions, each such component is represented by an irreducible subvariety. In particular,…
We construct a canonical isomorphism between the Bethe algebra acting on a multiplicity space of a tensor product of evaluation gl_N[t]-modules and the scheme-theoretic intersection of suitable Schubert varieties. Moreover, we prove that…
For a complex variety with a torus action we propose a new method of computing Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes. The method does not apply resolution of singularities. It is based on Localization Theorem in equivariant cohomology.
Libgober and Wood proved that the Chern number $c_{1}c_{n-1}$ of a $n$-dimensional compact complex manifold can be determined by its Hirzebruch $\chi_{y}$-genus. Inspired by the idea of their proof, we show that, for compact, spin,…
We investigate the intersection problem for finite semigroups, which asks for a given set of regular languages, represented by recognizing morphisms to finite semigroups, whether there exists a word contained in their intersection. We…
Our previous papers introduce topological notions of normal crossings symplectic divisor and variety, show that they are equivalent, in a suitable sense, to the corresponding geometric notions, and establish a topological smoothability…
In this paper, we establish an intrinsic Gauss-Bonnet-Chern formula for Finsler manifolds by using the Mathai-Quillen's superconnection formalism, in which no extra vector field is involved. Furthermore, we prove a more general Lichnerowicz…
We prove that there are no unexpected universal integral linear relations and congruences between Hodge, Betti and Chern numbers of compact complex manifolds and determine the linear combinations of such numbers which are bimeromorphic or…
We identify a class of 2+1 dimensional models, involving multiple Chern-Simons gauge fields, in which a form of classical confinement occurs. This confinement is not cumulative, but allows finite mass combinations of individually confined…
We revise the strong convergent Chernoff product formula and extend it, in a Hilbert space, to convergence in the operator-norm topology. Main results deal with the self-adjoint Chernoff product formula. The nonself-adjoint case concerns…
We show that any set of quotients with fixed Chern classes of a given coherent sheaf on a compact Kaehler manifold is bounded in a sense which we define. The result is proved by adapting Grothendieck's boundedness criterium expressed via…
We show that the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a Schubert cell in a Grassmannian is represented by a reduced and irreducible subvariety in each degree. This gives an affirmative answer to a positivity conjecture of Aluffi and Mihalcea.
