We study bordism groups and bordism homology theories based on pseudomanifolds and stratified pseudomanifolds. The main seam of the paper demonstrates that when we uses classes of spaces determined by local link properties, the stratified…

For different cohomology theories (including the Hochschild homology, Hodge cohomology, Chow groups, and Grothendieck groups of coherent sheaves), we identify the cohomology of moduli space of rank 1 perverse coherent sheaves on the blow-up…

We prove that a blowing-up formula for the intersection cohomology of the moduli space of rank 2 Higgs bundles over a curve with trivial determinant holds. As an application, we derive the Poincar\'{e} polynomial of the intersection…

This paper presents and explores a theory of \emph{multiholomorphic maps}. This group of ideas generalizes the theory of pseudoholomorphic curves in a direction suggested by consideration of the kinds of compatible geometric structures that…

Moser proved in 1965 in his seminal paper that two volume forms on a compact manifold can be conjugated by a diffeomorphism, that is to say they are equivalent, if and only if their associated cohomology classes in the top cohomology group…

We introduce and study small covers that are pullbacks from the simplex, extending pullbacks from the linear model. Our main result gives several equivalent characterizations of this class, including torsion-freeness of odd-degree integral…

We formulate a very general conjecture relating the analytical invariants of a normal surface singularity to the Seiberg-Witten invariants of its link provided that the link is a rational homology sphere. As supporting evidence, we…

In this paper, we introduce a category of graded commutative rings with certain algebraic morphisms, to investigate the cobordism category of plumbed 3-manifolds. In particular, we define a non-associative distributive algebra that gives…

By utilizing elementary techniques from toric geometry, we prove sharp cohomological vanishing results for line bundles defined on the blow-up of projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ at no more than $n+1$ points.

Our main result is a generalization of Cappell's 5-dimensional splitting theorem. As an application, we analyze, up to internal s-cobordism, the smoothable splitting and fibering problems for certain 5-manifolds mapping to the circle. For…

We introduce a notion of homological flips and homological flops. The former includes the class of all flips between Gorenstein normal varieties; while the latter includes the class of all flops between Cohen-Macaulay normal varieties whose…

We introduce a new homology theory of uniform spaces, provisionally called $\mu$-homology theory. Our homology theory is based on hyperfinite chains of microsimplices. This idea is due to McCord. We prove that $\mu$-homology theory…

The Ricci curvature equations are a central subject of study in geometry. However, in the smooth real case, their linear analysis is often confined to settings in which the background metric is Einstein. In this paper, we establish…

We prove that the Bredon homology or cohomology of the partition complex with fairly general coefficients is either trivial or computable in terms of constructions with the Steinberg module. The argument involves developing a theory of…

We study the local and global intersection cohomology of the intersection of two Schubert varieties in a flag manifold. In this version some new references are added.

This work deals with relations between a bounded cohomological invariant and the geometry of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The invariant, obtained from the K\"ahler class, is used to define and characterize a special class…

Real Bruhat cells give an important and well studied stratification of such spaces as $GL_{n+1}$, $Flag_{n+1} = SL_{n+1}/B$, $SO_{n+1}$ and $Spin_{n+1}$. We study the intersections of a top dimensional cell with another cell (for another…

For a monotone symplectic manifold and a smooth anticanonical divisor, there is a formal deformation of the symplectic cohomology of the divisor complement, defined by allowing Floer cylinders to intersect the divisor. We compute this…

We endow the de Rham cohomology of any Poisson or Jacobi manifold with a natural homotopy Frobenius manifold structure. This result relies on a minimal model theorem for multicomplexes and a new kind of a Hodge degeneration condition.

This is a revision of some expository lecture notes written originally for a 5-hour minicourse on the intersection theory of punctured holomorphic curves and its applications in 3-dimensional contact topology. The main lectures are aimed…
