In the last decade, the development of new ideas in quantum theory, including geometric and deformation quantization, the non-Abelian Berry factor, super- and BRST symmetries, non-commutativity, has called into play the geometric techniques…
In this paper we present the notion of a von Neumann regular $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}-$ring, we prove some results about them and we describe some of their properties. We prove, using two different methods, that the category of von Neumann…
We investigate the geometry of holomorphic curves and complex surfaces from the perspective of singularity theory. We show that, with a suitable choice of a complex bilinear symmetric form, the families of functions and mappings that…
We shall introduce the notion of $C^\infty$ logarithmic symplectic structures on a differentiable manifold which is an analog of the one of logarithmic symplectic structures in the holomorphic category. We show that the generalized complex…
In this paper we state and prove ad hoc "Separation Theorems" of the so-called Smooth Commutative Algebra, the Commutative Algebra of \(\mathcal{C}^{\infty}-\)rings. These results are formally similar to the ones we find in (ordinary)…
Many important theorems in differential topology relate properties of manifolds to properties of their underlying homotopy types -- defined e.g. using the total singular complex or the \v{C}ech nerve of a good open cover. Upon embedding the…
On one hand, together with Pelle Steffens, we recently characterized the infinity category of derived manifolds up to equivalence by a universal property. On the other hand, it is shown in recent work of Behrend-Liao-Xu that the category of…
Using techniques from supergravity and dimensional reduction, we study the full isometry algebra of K\"ahler and quaternionic manifolds with special geometry. These two varieties are related by the so-called c-map, which can be understood…
These notes are based on lectures on index theory, topology, and operator algebras at the "School on High Dimensional Manifold Theory" at the ICTP in Trieste, and at the Seminari di Geometria 2002 in Bologna. We describe how techniques…
The article is developing homological algebra in modules over non-unital rings and algebras. The main application is the definition and study of (directed) homology of $(\infty,1)$-categories and of directed spaces, including relative…
This is the second in a series of papers laying the foundations for a differential graded approach to derived differential geometry (and other geometries in characteristic zero). In this paper, we extend the classical notion of a dg-algebra…
This is an overview article. After an introduction to convenient calculus in infinite dimensions, the foundational material for manifolds of mappings is presented. The central character is the smooth convenient manifold $C^{\infty}(M,N)$ of…
Given work contains the full text of the proof of the following assertion: For the topological algebra $C^{\infty}(\mathcal{M})$ of smooth functions on a smooth $m$-dimensional real manifold $\mathcal{M}$ the small global dimension…
We prove that a vector field on an affine $C^\infty$-scheme Spec(A) has a flow if the $C^\infty$-ring A is finitely generated. If the vector field is complete then the flow is the target map of a groupoid internal to the category of…
This is the first paper in a series devoted to understanding the classical and quantum nature of edge modes and symmetries in gravitational systems. The goal of this analysis is to: i) achieve a clear understanding of how different…
In this paper we compute the deformation theory of a special class of algebras, namely of Azumaya algebras on a manifold ($C^{\infty}$ or complex analytic).
The higher-spin geometries of $W_\infty$-gravity and $W_N$-gravity are analysed and used to derive the complete non-linear structure of the coupling to matter and its symmetries. The symmetry group is a subgroup of the symplectic…

Using vertex algebra techniques, we determine a set of generators for the cohomology ring of the Hilbert schemes of points on an arbitrary smooth projective surface over the field of complex numbers.
The article is devoted to the investigation of smoothness of functions $f(x_1,...,x_m)$ of variables $x_1,...,x_m$ in infinite fields with non-trivial multiplicative ultra-norms, where $m\ge 2$. Theorems about classes of smoothness $C^n$ or…
