We give a homotopy theoretic characterization of stacks on a site $\cC$ as the {\it homotopy sheaves} of groupoids on $\cC$. We use this characterization to construct a model category in which stacks are the fibrant objects. We compare…
This is an introduction to Grothendieck's descent theory, with some stress on the general machinery of fibered categories and stacks.
The Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and topological complexity are important invariants of manifolds (and more generally, topological spaces). We study the behavior of these invariants under the operation of taking the connected sum of…
A Koszul duality-type correspondence between coderived categories of conilpotent differential graded Lie coalgebras and their Chevalley-Eilenberg differential graded algebras is established. This gives an interpretation of Lie coalgebra…
By analogy with the invariant Q-category defined by Scheerer, Stanley and Tanr\'e, we introduce the notions of Q-sectional category and Q-topological complexity. We establish several properties of these invariants. We also obtain a formula…
We define and make initial study of Lie groupoids equipped with a compatible homogeneity (or graded bundle) structure, such objects we will refer to as weighted Lie groupoids. One can think of weighted Lie groupoids as graded manifolds in…
This is a short presentation of some classical results on finite dimensional complex Lie algebras (classification of nilpotent Lie algebras, deformations and perturbations, contractions and rigidity). We present some applications to…
It is known that the notion of graded differential algebra coincides with the notion of monoid in the monoidal category of complexes. By using the monoidal structure introduced by M. Kapranov for the category of $N$-complexes we define the…
We study geometric representation theory of Lie algebroids. A new equivalence relation for integrable Lie algebroids is introduced and investigated. It is shown that two equivalent Lie algebroids have equivalent categories of infinitesimal…
We are interested in the classification of left-invariant symplectic structures on Lie groups. Some classifications are known, especially in low dimensions. In this paper we establish a new approach to classify (up to automorphism and…
Guided by consideration of problems in 2 and 3 dimensional lattice model computation, we are led to define a number of new categories, and functors between these categories and the partition category, culminating in the introduction of two…
Following analogous constructions for Lie algebras, we define Whittaker modules and Whittaker categories for finite-dimensional simple Lie superalgebras. Results include a decomposition of Whittaker categories for a Lie superalgebra…
We obtain some fundamental results, as Bokstedt-Neeman Theorem and Grothendieck duality, about the derived category of modules on a finite ringed space. Then we see how these results are transfered to schemes in a simple way and generalized…
For an abelian tensor category a stack is constructed. As an application we show that our construction can be used to recover a quasi-compact separated scheme from the category of its quasi-coherent sheaves. In another application, we show…
In these notes, an introduction to derived categories and derived functors is given. The main focus is the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective variety.
We prove a coherence theorem for invertible objects in a symmetric monoidal category. This is used to deduce associativity, skew-commutativity, and related results for multi-graded morphism rings, generalizing the well-known versions for…
We prove a variant of the well-known Reidemeister-Schreier theorem for finitely $L$-presented groups. More precisely, we prove that each finite index subgroup of a finitely $L$-presented group is itself finitely $L$-presented. Our proof is…
In this article we discuss some general results on the covariant Picard groupoid in the context of differential geometry and interpret the problem of lifting Lie algebra actions to line bundles in the Picard groupoid approach.
We prove Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities on some classes of manifolds, Lie groups and graphs.
We show that both Lusternik-Schnirelmann category and topological complexity are particular cases of a more general notion, that we call homotopic distance between two maps. As a consequence, several properties of those invariants can be…
