We present a method for computing $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy invariants of singularity categories of rings admitting suitable gradings. Using this we describe any such invariant, e.g. homotopy K-theory, for the stable categories of…

Bivariant (equivariant) K-theory is the standard setting for non-commutative topology. We may carry over various techniques from homotopy theory and homological algebra to this setting. Here we do this for some basic notions from…

We compute a primary cohomological obstruction to the existence of an equipartition for j mass distributions in R^d by two hyperplanes in the case 2d-3j = 1. The central new result is that such an equipartition always exists if d=6 2^k +2…

We say that a space X admits a homology exponent if there exists an exponent for the torsion subgroup of the integral homology. Our main result states if an H-space of finite type admits a homology exponent, then either it is, up to…

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…
