Given a weight two modular form f with associated p-adic Galois representation V_f, for certain quadratic imaginary fields K one can construct canonical classes in the Galois cohomology of V_f by taking the Kummer images of Heegner points…
The primary interest of this paper is to discuss the role of twisting cochains in the theory of characteristic classes. We begin with the homological description of monodromy map, associated with a connection on a trivial bundle over a…
We present a research programme aimed at constructing classifying toposes of Weil-type cohomology theories and associated categories of motives, and introduce a number of notions and preliminary results already obtained in this direction.…
By a result of Klyachko the Euler characteristic of moduli spaces of stable bundles of rank two on the projective plane is determined. Using similar methods we extend this result to bundles of rank three. The fixed point components…
We study the asymptotical behaviour of the moduli space of morphisms of given anticanonical degree from a rational curve to a split toric variety, when the degree goes to infinity. We obtain in this case a geometric analogue of Manin's…
For conic bundles on a smooth variety (over a field of characteristic $\ne 2$) which degenerate into pairs of distinct lines over geometric points of a smooth divisor, we prove a theorem which relates the Brauer class of the non-degenerate…
B\'ezout's theorem, nonequivariantly, can be interpreted as a calculation of the Euler class of a sum of line bundles over complex projective space, expressing it in terms of the rank of the bundle and its degree. We give here a…
We define a ring of motivic classes of stacks suitable for symmetric powers in finite characteristic. Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve over a field of arbitrary characteristic. We calculate the motivic classes of the moduli stacks of…
We prove a trace formula in stable motivic homotopy theory over a general base scheme, equating the trace of an endomorphism of a smooth proper scheme with the "Euler characteristic integral" of a certain cohomotopy class over its scheme of…
The Borel-Weil-Bott theorem describes the cohomology of line bundles over flag varieties. Here, one generalizes this theorem to a wider class of projective varieties : the wonderful varieties of minimal rank.
We propose a motivic version of T. Hausel and M. Thaddeus' Topological Mirror Symmetry for character stacks associated with arbitrary semisimple groups, which is an analogue of F. Loeser and D. Wyss' result for Chow motives of moduli spaces…
In the first half of this article we define a new weight homology functor on Voevodsky's category of effective motives, and investigate some of its properties. In special cases we recover Gillet-Soul\'e's weight homology, and Geisser's…
Extending [14], we obtain a complete description of the motivic cohomology with ${\mathbb Z}/2$-coefficients of the Nisnevich classifying space of the spin group $Spin_n$ associated to the standard split quadratic form. This provides us…
The moduli space of rank $n$ graphs, the outer automorphism group of the free group of rank $n$ and Kontsevich's Lie graph complex have the same rational cohomology. We show that the associated Euler characteristic grows like…
For any (n-1)-dimensional simplicial complex, we construct a particular n-dimensional complex vector bundle over the associated Davis-Januszkiewicz space whose Chern classes are given by the elementary symmetric polynomials in the…
For a pair $(f, g)$ of morphisms $f:X \to Z$ and $g:Y \to Z$ of (possibly singular) complex algebraic varieties $X,Y,Z$, we present congruence formulae for the difference $f_*T_{y*}(X) -g_*T_{y*}(Y)$ of pushforwards of the corresponding…
We make explicit computations in the formal symplectic geometry of Kontsevich and determine the Euler characteristics of the three cases, namely commutative, Lie and associative ones, up to certain weights.From these, we obtain some…
We develop the theory of fundamental classes in the setting of motivic homotopy theory. Using this we construct, for any motivic spectrum, an associated bivariant theory in the sense of Fulton-MacPherson. We import the tools of Fulton's…
This is an extended write-up of a talk given in April, 1993 in honor of Raoul Bott's 70th birthday. We first illustrate how some traditional topological and geometric invariants obey ``gluing laws'' inspired by those in classical and…
From the work of Lian, Liu, and Yau on "Mirror Principle", in the explicit computation of the Euler data $Q=\{Q_0, Q_1, ... \}$ for an equivariant concavex bundle ${\cal E}$ over a toric manifold, there are two places the structure of the…
