We define a notion of formal quantum field theory and associate a formal quantum field theory to K-theoretical intersection theories on Hilbert schemes of points on algebraic surfaces. This enables us to find an effective way to compute…
Grayson, developing ideas of Quillen, has made computations of the K-theory of "semi-linear endomorphisms". In the present text we develop a technique to compute these groups in the case of Frobenius semi-linear actions. The main idea is to…
We study rank-one sheaves and stable pairs on a smooth projective complex surface. We obtain an embedding of the moduli space of limit stable pairs into a smooth space. The embedding induces a perfect obstruction theory, which, over a…
We give a $K$-theoretic criterion for a quasi-projective variety to be smooth. If $\mathbb{L}$ is a line bundle corresponding to an ample invertible sheaf on $X$, it suffices that $K_q(X) = K_q(\mathbb{L})$ for all $q\le\dim(X)+1$.
We study algebraic varieties parametrized by topological spaces and enlarge the domains of Lawson homology and morphic cohomology to this category. We prove a Lawson suspension theorem and splitting theorem. A version of Friedlander-Lawson…
In this paper, we study K-theory of spectral schemes by using locally free sheaves. Let us regard the K-theory as a functor K on affine spectral schemes. Then, we prove that the group completion $\Omega B^{\mathcal{G}}(B^{\mathcal{G}}GL)$…
The Kauffman bracket skein module $K(M)$ of a 3-manifold $M$ is defined over formal power series in the variable $h$ by letting $A=e^{h/4}$. For a compact oriented surface $F$, it is shown that $K(F \times I)$ is a quantization of the…
We define a perfect obstruction theory for a moduli of symplectic Higgs sheaves $(E,\phi)$ on projective surfaces $S$. Key to this is a minimality assumption on $\textrm{ch}(E)$ that forces all $E$ to be locally free. This might have…
We determine the structure of the weak*-closed $G$-invariant ideals in the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of certain groups $G$ by means of a $K$-theoretical obstruction. The groups to which this applies are groups whose only irreducible…
Following Hopkins and Singer, we give a definition for the differential equivariant K-theory of a smooth manifold acted upon by a finite group. The ring structure for differential equivariant K-theory is developed explicitly. We also…
Let K be a simple and simply connected compact Lie group. We call a (twisted) quasi-Hamiltonian K-manifold M a quasi-Hamiltonian model space if it is multiplicity free and its momentum map is surjective. We explicitly identify the subgroups…
Let $C$ be a smooth, projective and geometrically connected curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q(C)$. Given a semisimple $C-S$-group scheme $\underline{G}$ where $S$ is a finite set of closed points of $C$, we describe the set of…
We describe explicit generators for the "real" K-theory of "real" spheres in van Daele's picture. Pulling these generators back along suitable maps from tori to spheres produces a family of Hamiltonians used in the physics literature on…
In their 2007 paper, Jarvis, Kaufmann, and Kimura defined the full orbifold $K$-theory of an orbifold ${\mathfrak X}$, analogous to the Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology of ${\mathfrak X}$ in that it uses the obstruction bundle as a quantum…
The Farrell-Jones Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture for the stable topological pseudoisotopy theory has been proved for several classes of groups. For example for discrete subgroups of Lie groups, virtually poly-infinite cyclic groups, Artin…
We show that the deformation theory of a perfect complex and that of its determinant are related by the trace map, in a general setting of sheaves on a site. The key technical step, in passing from the setting of modules over a ring where…
In this paper, we study the K-theory on higher modules in spectral algebraic geometry. We relate the K-theory of an $\infty$-category of finitely generated projective modules on certain $\mathbb{E}_{\infty}$-rings with the K-theory of an…
We study M-theory on two classes of manifolds of Spin(7) holonomy that are developing an isolated conical singularity. We construct explicitly a new class of Spin(7) manifolds and analyse in detail the topology of the corresponding…
Using the formalism of discrete quantum group gauge theory, one can construct the quantum algebras of observables for the Hamiltonian Chern-Simons model. The resulting moduli algebras provide quantizations of the algebra of functions on the…
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…
