We prove a `Whitney' presentation, and a `Coulomb branch' presentation, for the torus equivariant quantum K theory of the Grassmann manifold $\mathrm{Gr}(k;n)$, inspired from physics, and stated in an earlier paper. The first presentation…
For any finite group $G$, the equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of $[\mathbb{C}^r/G]$ can be viewed as a certain twisted Gromov-Witten invariants of the classifying stack $\mathcal{B} G$. In this paper, we use Tseng's orbifold quantum…

In this note, we consider the positive mass theorem for Riemannian manifolds $(M^{n},g)$ asymptotic to $(\mathbb{R}^{k}\times X^{n-k}, g_{\mathbb{R}^{k}}+g_{X})$ for $k\geq 3$ by studying the corresponding compactification problem.
We give asymptotic formulas for the multiplicities of weights and irreducible summands in high-tensor powers $V_{\lambda}^{\otimes N}$ of an irreducible representation $V_{\lambda}$ of a compact connected Lie group $G$. The weights are…
Let $G$ be a group and $\ell$ a commutative unital $\ast$-ring with an element $\lambda \in \ell$ such that $\lambda + \lambda^\ast = 1$. We introduce variants of hermitian bivariant $K$-theory for $\ast$-algebras equipped with a $G$-action…
Consider a spin manifold M, equipped with a line bundle L and an action of a compact Lie group G. We can attach to this data a family Theta(k) of distributions on the dual of the Lie algebra of G. The aim of this paper is to study the…
Motivated by applications to multiplicity formulas in index theory, we study a family of distributions $\Theta(m;k)$ associated to a piecewise quasi-polynomial function $m$. The family is indexed by an integer $k \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$, and…
In this paper, we provide an explicit description of the Schubert classes in the equivariant $K$-theory of weighted Grassmann orbifolds. We introduce the `twisted factorial Grothendieck polynomials', a family of symmetric polynomials by…
This paper announces results on the behavior of some important algebraic and topological invariants --- Euler characteristic, arithmetic genus, and their intersection homology analogues; the signature, etc. --- and their associated…
To every matroid, we associate a class in the K-theory of the Grassmannian. We study this class using the method of equivariant localization. In particular, we provide a geometric interpretation of the Tutte polynomial. We also extend…
Consider a compact prequantizable symplectic manifold M on which a compact Lie group G acts in a Hamiltonian fashion. The ``quantization commutes with reduction'' theorem asserts that the G-invariant part of the equivariant index of M is…
For any finite abelian group G, the equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of C^r/G can be viewed as a certain kind of abelian Hurwitz-Hodge integrals. In this note, we use Tseng's orbifold quantum Riemann-Roch theorem to express this kind of…

Let $X$ be a projective toric variety of dimension $n$ and let $L$ be a ample line bundle on $X$. For $k \geq 0$, it is in general difficult to determine whether $L^{\otimes k}$ is very ample and whether it additionally gives a projectively…
Let G denote either a special orthogonal group or a symplectic group defined over the complex numbers. We prove the following saturation result for G: given dominant weights \lambda^1, ..., \lambda^r such that the tensor product…
We consider the Riemannian random wave model of Gaussian linear combinations of Laplace eigenfunctions on a general compact Riemannian manifold. With probability one with respect to the Gaussian coefficients, we establish that, both for…
