Quadratic Gromov--Witten invariants allow one to obtain an arithmetically meaningful count of curves satisfying constraints over a field $k$ without assuming that $k$ is the field of complex or real numbers. This paper studies the behavior…

Welschinger invariants are signed counts of real rational curves satisfying contraints. Quadratic Gromov--Witten invariants give such counts over general fields of characteristic different from 2 and 3. For rational del Pezzo surfaces over…

We describe all Witt invariants of anti-hermitian forms over a quaternion algebra with its canonical involution, and in particular all Witt invariants of orthogonal groups $O(A,\sigma)$ where $(A,\sigma)$ is an central simple algebra with…

We prove some new cases of the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture for classical groups. This is based on a new construction of the Gersten-Witt complex for Witt groups of Azumaya algebras with involution on regular semilocal rings, with explicit…

The difference between the quadratic L-groups L_*(A) and the symmetric L-groups L^*(A) of a ring with involution A is detected by generalized Arf invariants. The special case A=Z[x] gives a complete set of invariants for the Cappell…

In this article we describe relations of the topology of closed 1-forms to the group theoretic invariants of Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz. Starting with a survey, we extend these Sigma invariants to finite CW- complexes and show that many…

Let G(A) be an AF-algebra given by periodic Bratteli diagram with the incidence matrix A in GL(n, Z). For a given polynomial p(x) in Z[x] we assign to G(A) a finite abelian group Z^n/p(A) Z^n. It is shown that if p(0)=1 or p(0)=-1 and…

We introduce invariants of Hurwitz equivalence classes with respect to arbitrary group $G$. The invariants are constructed from any right $G$-modules $M$ and any $G$-invariant bilinear function on $M$, and are of bilinear forms. For…

We consider geometric invariant theory for \emph{graded additive groups}, groups of the form $\mathbb{G}_a^r\rtimes_w\mathbb{G}_m$ such that the $\mathbb{G}_m$-action on $\mathbb{G}_a^r$ is a scalar multiplication with weight…

We propose an algorithm for computing bases and dimensions of spaces of invariants of Weil representations of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ associated to finite quadratic modules. We prove that these spaces are defined over $\mathbb{Z}$, and…

We investigate the relationship between the geometric Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants of a space (or of a group), and the jump loci for homology with coefficients in rank 1 local systems over a field. We give computable upper bounds…

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 $G$ be the cyclic group of order $n$ and suppose ${\bf F}$ is a field containing a primitive $n^\text{th}$ root of unity. We consider the ring of invariants ${\bf F}[W]^G$ of a three dimensional representation $W$ of $G$ where $G…

This article presents a formula for products of Schubert classes in the quantum cohomology ring of the Grassmannian. We introduce a generalization of Schur symmetric polynomials for shapes that are naturally embedded in a torus. Then we…

By twisted quantum invariants we mean polynomial invariants of knots in the three-sphere endowed with a representation of the fundamental group into the automorphism group of a Hopf algebra $H$. These are obtained by the Reshetikhin-Turaev…

Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and $G$ be a finite abelian group. If $A=\oplus_{g\in G} A_g$ is a $G$-graded algebra, we study degree-inverting involutions on $A$, i.e., involutions $*$ on $A$ satisfying…

In this paper we discuss open problems concerning L^2-invariants focusing on approximation by towers of finite coverings.

The symmetries described by Pin groups are the result of combining a finite number of discrete reflections in (hyper)planes. The current work shows how an analysis using geometric algebra provides a picture complementary to that of the…

We provide a unified geometric realization of the classical deformation complexes. We construct GL-equivariant bilinear incidence varieties whose diagonal slices recover the varieties of associative, commutative, Leibniz, and Lie algebra…

The classical theorem of Weitzenboeck states that the algebra of invariants of a single unipotent transformation $g$ in $GL_m(K)$ acting on the polynomial algebra $K[x_1,...,x_m]$ over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 is finitely generated.…
