We review various aspects of the topological classification of D-brane charges in K-theory, focusing on techniques from geometric K-homology and Kasparov's KK-theory. The latter formulation enables an elaborate description of D-brane charge…

We describe the $C_2$-equivariant homotopy type of the space of commuting n-tuples in the stable unitary group in terms of Real K-theory. The result is used to give a complete calculation of the homotopy groups of the space of commuting…

In this note we provide a characterization, in terms of additional algebraic structure, of those intervals (certain cocategory objects) in a symmetric monoidal closed category E that are representable in the sense of inducing on E the…

Let $ A $ be a finite connected graded cocommutative Hopf algebra over a field $ k $. There is an endofunctor $ \mathsf{tw} $ on the stable module category $ \mathrm{StMod}_A $ of $ A $ which twists the grading by $ 1 $. We show the…

By inspiring ourselves in Drinfeld's DG quotient, we develop Postnikov towers, k-invariants and an obstruction theory for dg categories. As an application, we obtain the following `rigidification' theorem: let A be a homologically…

We consider spaces of "virtual" constrained generalized Killing spinors, i.e. spaces of Majorana spinors which correspond to "off-shell" $s$-extended supersymmetry in compactifications of eleven-dimensional supergravity based on…

In this paper we prove a stability theorem for block diffeomorphisms of 2d-dimensional manifolds that are connected sums of S^d x S^d. Combining this with a recent theorem of S. Galatius and O. Randal-Williams and Morlet's lemma of…

We compute the algebraic Picard group of the category of $K(n)$-local spectra, for all heights $n$ and all primes $p$. In particular, we show that it is always finitely generated over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ and, whenever $n \geq 2$, is of rank $2$,…

We study actions of monoidal categories on objects in a suitably enriched $2$-category, and applications in stable homotopy theory. Given a monoidal category $\mathcal{I}$ and an $\mathcal{I}$-object $\mathcal{A}$, the (co)stabilization of…

Let $A$ be an algebra over a commutative ring $k$. It is known that the categories of non-commutative descent data, of comodules over the Sweedler canonical coring, of right $A$-modules with a flat connection are isomorphic as braided…

This paper explores the relationship amongst the various simplicial and pseudo-simplicial objects characteristically associated to any bicategory C. It proves the fact that the geometric realizations of all of these possible candidate…

This paper contains results on stable bundles of rank 2 with space of sections of dimension 4 on a smooth irreducible projective algebraic curve $C$. There is a known lower bound on the degree for the existence of such bundles; the main…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 3$. Let $\cat{M}_{Hod}$ denote the moduli space of stable $\lambda$-connections over $X $ and $\cat{M}'_{Hod} \subset \cat{M}_{Hod}$ denote the subvariety whose underlying vector bundle…

We investigate the structure of the minimal displacement set in $8$-located complexes with the SD'-property. We show that such set embeds isometrically into the complex. Since $8$-location and simple connectivity imply Gromov hyperbolicity,…

We prove a new symplectic analogue of Kashiwara's Equivalence from D-module theory. As a consequence, we establish a structure theory for module categories over deformation quantizations that mirrors, at a higher categorical level, the…

In this paper we study the global structure of the stable homotopy theory of spectra. We establish criteria for when the homotopy theory associated to a given stable model category agrees with the classical stable homotopy theory of…

The $C_2$-spectrum of Atiyah's Real $K$-theory is denoted by $\mathbf{KR}$ and the $C_2$-spectrum of topological modular forms of level structure $\Gamma_1(3)$ by $\mathbf{TMF}_1(3)$. In this short note we compute the $C_2$-equivariant…

Suppose given a Frobenius category E, i.e. an exact category with a big enough subcategory B of bijectives. Let_E_ := E/B denote its classical stable category. For example, we may take E to be the category of complexes C(A) with entries in…

We give a combinatorial criterion for the tangent bundle on a smooth toric variety to be stable with respect to a given polarisation in terms of the corresponding lattice polytope. Furthermore, we show that for a smooth toric surface and a…

In the Morel-Voevodsky motivic stable homotopy category of a quasi-compact quasi-separated scheme S, several candidates exist for a motivic spectrum representing hermitian K-theory. This note shows that the cellular absolute motivic…
