For a quasi-projective scheme M which carries a perfect obstruction theory, we construct the virtual cobordism class of M. If M is projective, we prove that the corresponding Chern numbers of the virtual cobordism class are given by…

We describe a variant of K-theory for spaces with involution, built from vector bundles which are sent to their negative under the involution.

We define a new perverse t-exact pullback operation on derived categories of constructible sheaves which generalizes most perverse t-exact functors in sheaf theory, such as microlocalization, the Fourier-Sato transform and vanishing cycles.…

Fulton defined classes in the Chow group of a quasi-projective scheme $M$ which reduce to its Chern classes when $M$ is smooth. When $M$ has a perfect obstruction theory, Siebert gave a formula for its virtual cycle in terms of its total…

We provide a fairly self-contained account of the localisation and cofinality theorems for the algebraic $\mathrm{K}$-theory of stable $\infty$-categories. It is based on a general formula for the evaluation of an additive functor on a…

We construct differential equivariant K-theory of representable smooth orbifolds as a ring valued functor with the usual properties of a differential extension of a cohomology theory. For proper submersions (with smooth fibres) we construct…

We provide a reduction formula for the motivic Donaldson-Thomas invariants associated to a quiver with superpotential. The method is valid provided the superpotential has a linear factor, it allows us to compute virtual motives in terms of…

We begin the study of categorifications of Donaldson-Thomas invariants associated with Hilbert schemes of points on the three-dimensional affine space, which we call DT categories. The DT category is defined to be the category of matrix…

We prove a desingularization theorem for the quasi-smooth derived scheme, in the sense of Hekking. We also propose the conjecture that the K-theoretic integration of the virtual fundamental class of a quasi-smooth derived scheme could be…

We prove a non-linear version of a theorem of Grayson which is an analogue of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebraic $K$-theory and identify the $K$-theory of the endomorphism category over a space $X$ in terms of reduced $K$-theory of a…

The theory developed by Gambino and Kock, of polynomials over a locally cartesian closed category E, is generalised for E just having pullbacks. The 2-categorical analogue of the theory of polynomials and polynomial functors is given, and…

We develop equivariant KK-theory for locally compact groupoid actions by Morita equivalences on real and complex graded C*-algebras. Functoriality with respect to generalised morphisms and Bott periodicity are discussed. We introduce…

We revisit the proof of solidity of KM (Kelley-Morse theory of classes), as presented in the 2016 paper "Variations on a Visserian theme", so as to indicate the role of the scheme of class collection in the proof.

We prove a generalization of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for Verdier-localizing functors by extending the proof for algebraic K-theory of spaces to the realm of stable $\infty$-categories. The formula behaves much better…

Given a map of vector bundles on a smooth variety, consider the deepest degeneracy locus where its rank is smallest. We show it carries a natural perfect obstruction theory whose virtual cycle can be calculated by the Thom-Porteous formula.…

Let $T$ be a split torus acting on an algebraic scheme $X$ with fixed locus $Z$. Edidin and Graham showed that on localized $T$-equivariant Chow groups, (a) push-forward $i_*$ along $i : Z \to X$ is an isomorphism, and (b) when $X$ is…

The aim of this paper is to introduce a polynomial invariant $f_K(t)$ for virtual knots. We show that $f_K(t)$ can be used to distinguish some virtual knot from its inverse and mirror image. The behavior of $f_K(t)$ under connected sum is…
