We determine the first non-stable ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy sheaf of $SL_n$. Using techniques of obstruction theory involving the ${\mathbb A}^1$-Postnikov tower, supported by some ideas from the theory of unimodular rows, we classify vector…

We show that a triangulated motivic category admits categorical Thom isomorphisms for vector bundles with an additional structure if and only if the generalized motivic cohomology theory represented by the tensor unit object admits Thom…

We give a cohomological classification of vector bundles of rank $2$ on a smooth affine threefold over an algebraically closed field having characteristic unequal to $2$. As a consequence we deduce that cancellation holds for rank $2$…

In this expository article, we give the foundations, basic facts, and first examples of unstable motivic homotopy theory with a view towards the approach of Asok-Fasel to the classification of vector bundles on smooth complex affine…

We discuss algebraic vector bundles on smooth k-schemes X contractible from the standpoint of A^1-homotopy theory; when k = C, the smooth manifolds X(C) are contractible as topological spaces. The integral algebraic K-theory and integral…

We present a new family of monads whose cohomology is a stable rank two vector bundle on $\mathbb{P}^3$. We also study the irreducibility and smoothness together with a geometrical description of some of these families. These facts are used…

In this paper, we continue the program initiated by Kahn-Saito-Yamazaki by constructing and studying an unstable motivic homotopy category with modulus, extending the Morel-Voevodsky construction from smooth schemes over a field $k$ to…

Let X be an irreducible 2n-dimensional holomorphic symplectic manifold. A reflexive sheaf F is very modular, if its Azumaya algebra End(F) deforms with X to every Kahler deformation of X. We show that if F is a slope-stable reflexive sheaf…

We study the cohomological classification of vector bundles on smooth real affine surfaces and threefolds. We show that, as was observed in joint work in A. Asok and J. Fasel and in a coming joint paper with S. Banerjee and J. Fasel, under…

We show that the category of affine bundles over a smooth manifold M is equivalent to the category of affine spaces modelled on projective finitely generated C^\infty(M)-modules. Using this equivalence of categories, we are able to give an…

We study the rational Chow motives of certain moduli spaces of vector bundles on a smooth projective curve with additional structure (such as a parabolic structure or Higgs field). In the parabolic case, these moduli spaces depend on a…

We determine the integral Chow and cohomology rings of the moduli stack $\mathcal{B}_{r,d}$ of rank $r$, degree $d$ vector bundles on $\mathbb{P}^1$ bundles. We first show that the rational Chow ring $A_{\mathbb{Q}}^*(\mathcal{B}_{r,d})$ is…

A torsion free sheaf on a hyperk\"ahler variety $X$ is modular if the discriminant satisfies a certain condition, for example if it is a multiple of $c_2(X)$ the sheaf is modular. The definition is taylor made for torsion-free sheaves on a…

Let X be a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve over a field k. We describe the algebra of endomorphisms of indecomposable unstable vector bundles over X of rank 2 and degree d. Fixing some numerical invariants, namely the…

Using techniques of A^1-homotopy theory, we produce motivic lifts of elements in classical homotopy groups of spheres; these lifts provide polynomial maps of spheres and allow us to construct ``low rank'' algebraic vector bundles on…

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 construct a moduli space of stable pairs over a smooth projective variety, parametrizing morphisms from a fixed coherent sheaf to a varying sheaf of fixed topological type, subject to a stability condition. This generalizes the notion…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of dimension $d$ and $M$ a commutative cancellative torsion-free seminormal monoid. Then (1) Let $A$ be a ring of type $R[d,m,n]$ and $P$ be a projective $A[M]$-module of rank $r \geq max\{2,d+1\}$.…

This article concerns a question asked by M. V. Nori on homotopy of sections of Projective modules defined on the polynomial algebra over a smooth affine domain $R$. While this question has an affirmative answer, it is known that the…
