Let G be a split semisimple linear algebraic group over a field k0. Let E be a G-torsor over a field extension k of k0. Let h be an algebraic oriented cohomology theory in the sense of Levine-Morel. Consider a twisted form E/B of the…

These lecture notes contain an exposition of basic ideas of K-theory and cyclic cohomology. I begin with a list of examples of various situations in which the K-functor of Grothendieck appears naturally, including the rudiments of the…

We introduce completely semi-$\varphi$-maps on Hilbert $C^*$-modules as a generalization of $\varphi$-maps. This class of maps provides examples of CP-extendable maps which are not CP-H-extendable, in Skeide-Sumesh's sense. Using the…

In the Morel-Voevodsky motivic stable homotopy category of a quasi-compact quasi-separated scheme S, several candidates exist for a motivic spectrum representing hermitian K-theory. This note shows that the cellular absolute motivic…

A smooth projective scheme $X$ over a field $k$ is said to satisfy the Rost nilpotence principle if any endomorphism of $X$ in the category of Chow motives that vanishes on an extension of the base field $k$ is nilpotent. We show that an…

We extend the spectral theory of commutative C*-categories to the non full-case, introducing a suitable notion of spectral spaceoid provinding a duality between a category of "non-trivial" *-functors of non-full commutative C*-categories…

Let k be a perfect field and A a finite dimensional k-algebra of finite global dimension (e.g. the path algebra of a finite quiver without oriented cycles). Making use of the recent theory of noncommutative motives, we prove that the value…

We confirm the quasi-projective case of Saito's conjecture, namely that the cohomological characteristic classes defined by Abbes and Saito can be computed in terms of the characteristic cycles. We construct a cohomological characteristic…

We prove that the projectors arising from the decomposition theorem applied to a projective map of quasi projective varieties are absolute Hodge, Andr\'e motivated, Tate and Ogus classes. As a by-product, we introduce, in characteristic…

We solve for finite $N$ the matrix model of supersymmetric $U(N)$ Chern-Simons theory coupled to $N_{f}$ fundamental and $N_{f}$ anti-fundamental chiral multiplets of $R$-charge $1/2$ and of mass $m$, by identifying it with an average of…

We prove some fundamental results like localization, excision, Nisnevich descent and the Mayer-Vietoris property for equivariant regular blow-up for the equivariant K-theory of schemes with an affine group scheme action. We also show that…

We prove an analogue of Sadullaev's theorem concerning the size of the set where a maximal totally real manifold can meet a pluripolar set. The manifold has to be of class C-1 only. This readily leads to a version of Shcherbina's theorem…

Hindman's celebrated Finite Sums Theorem, and its high-dimensional version due to Milliken and Taylor, are extended from covers of countable sets to covers of arbitrary topological spaces with Menger's classic covering property. The methods…

We prove that the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra O(E) of a vector bundle E over a compact metrizable space X is determined up to an isomorphism of C(X)-algebras by the ideal (1-[E])K(X) of the K-theory ring K(X). Moreover, if E and F are vector…

We show that a closed, connected and orientable Riemannian manifold of dimension $d$ that admits a quasiregular mapping from $\mathbb R^d$ must have bounded cohomological dimension independent of the distortion of the map. The dimension of…

For any smooth projective moduli space $M$ of Gieseker stable sheaves on a complex projective K3 surface (or an abelian surface) S, we prove that the Chow motive $\mathfrak{h}(M)$ becomes a direct summand of a motive $\bigoplus…

Let X be an infinite, compact, metrizable space of finite covering dimension and h a minimal homeomorphism of X. We prove that the crossed product of C(X) by h absorbs the Jiang-Su algebra tensorially and has finite nuclear dimension. As a…

We prove a new selection theorem for multivalued mappings of C-space. Using this theorem we prove extension dimensional version of Hurewicz theorem for a closed mapping $f\colon X\to Y$ of $k$-space $X$ onto paracompact $C$-space $Y$: if…

We show that the Grothendieck-Chow motive of a smooth hyperplane section $Y$ of an inner twisted form $X$ of a Milnor hypersurface splits as a direct sum of shifted copies of the motive of the Severi-Brauer variety of the associated cyclic…

We prove an equivariant version of the CM minimization conjecture for extremal K\"ahler manifolds. This involves proving that, given an equivariant punctured family of polarized varieties, a relative version of the CM degree is strictly…
