Stable quotient spaces provide an alternative to stable maps for compactifying spaces of maps. When the target is projective space and the domain curve has genus 1, these are smooth proper Deligne-Mumford stacks. In this paper we study the…
We introduce a symmetric monoidal $\infty$-category $\mathrm{GrCob}$ of graph cobordisms between spaces, and use the homology of its morphism spaces to define string operations. Precisely, for an $E_\infty$-ring spectrum $R$ and an oriented…
We identify conditions under which it is guaranteed that an action of an operad on the $E^2$ page of a spectral sequence passes to $E^r$ for $r\ge 2$ and hence to the $E^\infty$ page. We consider this question in both the purely algebraic…
Let $X,Y$ be normal bounded operators on a Hilbert space such that $e^X=e^Y$. If the spectra of $X$ and $Y$ are contained in the strip $\s$ of the complex plane defined by $|\Im(z)|\leq \pi$, we show that $|X|=|Y|$. If $Y$ is only assumed…
We develop a rigidity criterion to show that in simplicial model categories with a compatible symmetric monoidal structure, operad structures can be automatically lifted along certain maps. This is applied to obtain an unpublished result of…
We recall the notion of twisted parametrized spectra defined by Douglas and provide a sufficient condition for an $\infty$-category of twisted parametrized module spectra to be untwisted over an even-periodic $E_2$-ring. It is an easy…
We prove a relationship between quantum Steenrod operations and the quantum connection. In particular there are operations extending the quantum Steenrod power operations that, when viewed as endomorphisms of equivariant quantum cohomology,…
We approach a problem of realising algebraic objects in a certain universal equivariant stable homotopy theory; the global homotopy theory of Schwede. Specifically, for a global ring spectrum $R$, we consider which classes of ring…
We construct a ``logarithmic'' cohomology operation on Morava E-theory, which is a homomorphism defined on the multiplicative group of invertible elements in the ring E^0(K) of a space K. We obtain a formula for this map in terms of the…
The set $\mathcal{E}'(\mathbb{R})$ of all compactly distributions, with the operations of addition, convolution, multiplication by complex scalars, and with the strong dual topology is a topological algebra. In this article, it is shown…
Previous work constructed a generalized truncated Brown-Peterson spectrum of chromatic height 2 at the prime 2 as an E_infinity-ring spectrum, based on the study of elliptic curves with level-3 structure. We show that the natural map…
We investigate the particular properties of the stable category of modules over a finite dimensional cocommutative graded connected Hopf algebra $A$, via tensor-triangulated geometry. This study requires some mild conditions on the Hopf…
We compute the (stable) \'etale cohomology of $\mathrm{Hom}_{n}(C, \mathcal{P}(\vec{\lambda}))$, the moduli stack of degree $n$ morphisms from a smooth projective curve $C$ to the weighted projective stack $\mathcal{P}(\vec{\lambda})$, the…
We study actions of monoidal categories on objects in a suitably enriched $2$-category, and applications in stable homotopy theory. Given a monoidal category $\mathcal{I}$ and an $\mathcal{I}$-object $\mathcal{A}$, the (co)stabilization of…
We compute the mod(p) homotopy groups of the continuous homotopy fixed point spectrum E_2^{hH_2} for p>2, where E_n is the Landweber exact spectrum whose coefficient ring is the ring of functions on the Lubin-Tate moduli space of lifts of…
We show that the restricted Lie algebra structure on Hochschild cohomology is invariant under stable equivalences of Morita type between self-injective algebras. Thereby we obtain a number of positive characteristic stable invariants, such…
We study the loop spaces of the symmetric powers of an orbifold and use our results to define equivariant power operations in Tate K-theory. We prove that these power operations are elliptic and that the Witten genus is an H_oo map. As a…
We prove an analogue of Miller's stable splitting of the unitary group $U(m)$ for spaces of commuting elements in $U(m)$. After inverting $m!$, the space $\text{Hom}(\mathbb{Z}^n,U(m))$ splits stably as a wedge of Thom-like spaces of…
Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group that acts on a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and let $E$ be a $G$-equivariant algebraic vector bundle over $X$. A section of $E$ is regular if it is transversal to the zero…
We describe the action of the mod $2$ Steenrod algebra on the cohomology of various polyhedral products and related spaces. We carry this out for Davis-Januszkiewicz spaces and their generalizations, for moment-angle complexes as well as…
