We use differential cohomology to systematically construct a large class of topological actions in physics, including Chern-Simons terms, Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten terms, and theta terms (continuous or discrete). We introduce a notion of…
It is well known that the Euler characteristic of the cohomology of a complex algebraic variety coincides with the Euler characteristic of its cohomology with compact support. An old result of G. Laumon asserts that a relative version of…
On a compact $\partial\bar\partial$-manifold $X$, one has the Hodge decomposition: the de Rham cohomology groups split into subspaces of pure-type classes as $H_{dR}^k (X)=\oplus_{p+q=k}H^{p,\,q}(X)$, where the $H^{p,\,q}(X)$ are…
It known from the work of Feigin-Tsygan, Weibel and Keller that the cohomology groups of a smooth complex variety X can be recovered from (roughly speaking) its derived category of coherent sheaves. In this paper we show that for a finite…
The purpose of this paper is two-fold: we systematically introduce the notion of Cheeger deformations on fiber bundles with compact structure groups, and recover in a very simple and unified fashion several results that either already…
This paper affirms a conjecture of MacPherson: that the derived category of cellular sheaves is equivalent to the derived category of cellular cosheaves. We give a self-contained treatment of cellular sheaves and cosheaves and note that…
In this paper, We develop the stratified de Rham theory on singular spaces using modern tools including derived geometry and stratified structures. This work unifies and extends the de Rham theory, Hodge theory, and deformation theory of…
We consider the union of certain irreducible components of cohomological support loci of the canonical bundle, which we call standard. We prove a structure theorem about them and single out some particular cases, recovering and improving…
We show that the exterior derivative operator on a symplectic manifold has a natural decomposition into two linear differential operators, analogous to the Dolbeault operators in complex geometry. These operators map primitive forms into…
We study cobordisms of nested manifolds, which are manifolds together with embedded submanifolds, which can themselves have embedded submanifolds, etc. We identify a nested analog of the Pontryagin-Thom construction. Moreover, when the…
In this article it is shown that the equilateral triangle maximizes the Cheeger constant and minimizes the torsional rigidity among shapes having a fixed minimal width. The proof techniques use direct comparisons with simpler shapes,…
We construct a Poincar\'e sheaf on the compactified Prym variety associated with an \'etale double cover of integral curves with planar singularities, and prove that the associated Fourier-Mukai transform is an autoequivalence of its…
We prove equality of the various $p$-adic period morphisms for smooth, not necessarily proper, schemes. We start with showing that the $K$-theoretical uniqueness criterium we had found for proper smooth schemes extends to proper finite…
Many important theorems in differential topology relate properties of manifolds to properties of their underlying homotopy types -- defined e.g. using the total singular complex or the \v{C}ech nerve of a good open cover. Upon embedding the…
We prove a general local rigidity theorem for pull-backs of homogeneous forms on reductive symmetric spaces under representations of discrete groups. One application of the theorem is that the volume of a closed manifold locally modelled on…
By adapting arguments of Annala-Hoyois-Iwasa in the log setting, we prove Poincar\'e duality for smooth projective morphisms in logarithmic motivic homotopy theory. As an application, we show that the crystalline cohomology of a log…
This manuscript develops a geometric approach to ordinary cohomology of smooth manifolds, constructing a cochain complex model based on co-oriented smooth maps from manifolds with corners. Special attention is given to the pull-back product…
In this work, we investigate compact K\"ahler manifolds with non-negative or quasi-positive mixed curvature coming from a linear combination of the Ricci and holomorphic sectional curvature, which covers various notions of curvature…
In this article, we will explore the fundamental concepts, including various basic concepts on $d$-complex manifolds, along with several differential operators and examine the relationships between them. A $d$-K\"ahler manifold is a…
Based on a recent extension theorem for reflexive differential forms, that is, regular differential forms defined on the smooth locus of a possibly singular variety, we study the geometry and cohomology of sheaves of reflexive…
