We begin by explaining how a physical problem of studying the quantum Hall effect on a closed surface $C$ leads, via Laughlin's approach, to a mathematical question of describing the rank and the first Chern class of a particular vector…

We prove that Chern classes in continuous $\ell$-adic cohomology of automorphic bundles associated to representations of $G$ on a projective Shimura variety with data $(G,X)$ are trivial rationally. It is a consequence of Beilinson's…

We show that the results proven by Deninger and Murre directly imply that the Chern classes of the de Rham bundle of an abelian scheme are torsion elements in the Chow ring, a result that was later proven by van der Geer. We also discuss…

We develop a framework to compute characteristic classes and their forms in the computer algebra system SageMath using symbolic calculus. In order to do this, we make use of the Chern-Weil approach in which characteristic classes of vector…

Let ${\mathbb F}_0$ be an algebraically closed field, with $char({\mathbb F}_0)=0$. In this article, for prime numbers $p\geq 2$, we construct smooth affine algebras $B$ over ${\mathbb F}_0$, with $\dim B=p+2$. Further, we construct…

We study constraints on the Chern classes of a vector bundle on a singular variety. We use this constraint to study a variety which carries a Hodge cycle that are not a linear combination of Chern classes of vector bundles on it.

In this note we give a simple, model-independent construction of Chern classes as natural transformations from differential complex K-theory to differential integral cohomology. We verify the expected behaviour of these Chern classes with…

The classification of algebraic vector bundles of rank 2 over smooth affine fourfolds is a notoriously difficult problem. Isomorphism classes of such vector bundles are not uniquely determined by their Chern classes, in contrast to the…

Let $ (E,h) $ be a Griffiths semipositive Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle of rank $ 3 $ over a complex manifold. In this paper, we prove the positivity of the characteristic differential form $ c_1(E,h) \wedge c_2(E,h) - c_3(E,h) $,…

One describes, using a detailed analysis of Atiyah--Hirzebruch spectral sequence, the tuples of cohomology classes on a compact, complex manifold, corresponding to the Chern classes of a complex vector bundle of stable rank. This…

Supersymmetric heterotic string models, built from a Calabi-Yau threefold $X$ endowed with a stable vector bundle $V$, usually lead to an anomaly mismatch between $c_2(V)$ and $c_2(X)$; this leads to the question whether the difference can…

In this paper we show that every rational cohomology class of type $(p,p)$ on a compact K\"ahler manifold can be representated as a differential $(p,p)$-form given by an explicit formula involving a \v{C}ech cocycle. First we represent…

In this article, we construct Chern classes in rational Deligne cohomology for coherent sheaves on a smooth complex compact manifold. We prove that these classes verify the functoriality property under pullbacks, the Whitney formula and the…

Using the concept of a cohesive module defined by Block, we use the theory of superconnections in the sense of Quillen to construct natural superconnections on Hermitian cohesive modules. By the Chern-Weil construction, we obtain…

Motivic Chern classes are elements in the K-theory of an algebraic variety $X$, depending on an extra parameter $y$. They are determined by functoriality and a normalization property for smooth $X$. In this paper we calculate the motivic…

We propose a version of the Hodge conjecture in Bott-Chern cohomology and using results from characterizing real holomorphic chains by real rectifiable currents to provide a proof for this question. We define a Bott-Chern differential…

Given a topological modular functor $\mathcal{V}$ in the sense of Walker \cite{Walker}, we construct vector bundles over $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, whose Chern classes define semi-simple cohomological field theories. This construction…

The goal of this paper is to study the Chern classes of coherent sheaves (and more generally perfect complexes) that admit crystal structures in the setting of crystalline cohomology and more generally relative prismatic cohomology. In the…

Let $\mathbb{X}=[X_1\rightrightarrows X_0]$ be a Lie groupoid equipped with a connection, given by a smooth distribution $\mathcal{H} \subset T X_1$ transversal to the fibers of the source map. Under the assumption that the distribution…

In this note, we investigate the Chern classes of flat bundles in the arithmetic Deligne Cohomology, introduced by Green-Griffiths, Asakura-Saito. We show nontriviality of the Chern classes in some cases and the proof also indicates that…
