We propose a toy model for symmetry-breaking or bubbling, in terms of cobordism of manifolds with circle actions free on a possible boundary. The Swan-Tate cohomology $t_\T E$ of a complex-oriented $E_\infty$ ring-spectrum $E$ is the…
A compact Lie group G and a faithful complex representation V determine a Sato-Tate measure, defined as the direct image of Haar measure on G with respect to the character of V. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a Sato-Tate…
Let $X=G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group $G$ by its non-cocompact arithmetic lattice. Let $H$ be a reductive algebraic subgroup of $G$ acting on $X$. We give several equivalent algebraic conditions on $H$ for the existence…
Let $G=K\ltimes\mathbb{R}^n$, where $K$ is a compact connected subgroup of $O(n)$ acting on $\mathbb{R}^n$ by rotations. Let $\mathfrak{g}\supset\mathfrak{k}$ be the respective Lie algebras of $G$ and $K$, and $pr:…
We define a projective variant of classical complex orientation theory. Using this, we construct a map of spectra which lifts the total Chern class, providing an alternative answer to an old question of Segal \cite{segal}, previously…
Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a compact Hausdorff group acting on a compact Hausdorff space $X$, $\alpha$ an irreducible $\mathbb{G}$-representation, and $C(X)$ the $C^*$-algebra of complex-valued continuous functions on $X$. We prove that the…
For $T$ a compact torus and $E_T^*$ a generalized $T$-equivariant cohomology theory, we provide a systematic framework for computing $E_T^*$ in the context of equivariantly stratified smooth complex projective varieties. This allows us to…
A $(G,n)$-complex is an $n$-dimensional CW-complex with fundamental group $G$ and whose universal cover is $(n-1)$-connected. If $G$ has periodic cohomology then, for appropriate $n$, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence…
The interplay between equivariant stable homotopy theory and spectral algebraic geometry is used to construct a derived Tate curve over $\mathrm{KU}((q))$, a lift of the classical elliptic curve of Tate over $\mathbf{Z}((q))$. Applications…
We introduce and study the notion of reduced spectral synthesis, which unifies the concepts of spectral synthesis and uniqueness in locally compact groups. We exhibit a number of examples and prove that every non-discrete locally compact…
We prove structural theorems for computing the completion of a G-spectrum at the augmentation ideal of the Burnside ring of a finite group G. First we show that a G-spectrum can be replaced by a spectrum obtained by allowing only isotropy…
We establish a novel approach to computing $G$-equivariant cohomology for a finite group $G$, and demonstrate it in the case that $G = C_{p^n}$. For any commutative ring spectrum $R$, we prove a symmetric monoidal reconstruction theorem for…
We study string topology for classifying spaces of connected compact Lie groups, drawing connections with Hochschild cohomology and equivariant homotopy theory. First, for a compact Lie group $G$, we show that the string topology…
We construct a spectral sequence associated to a stratified space, which computes the compactly supported cohomology groups of an open stratum in terms of the compactly supported cohomology groups of closed strata and the reduced cohomology…
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. (Compact) topological $G$-manifolds have the $G$-homotopy type of (finite-dimensional) countable $G$-CW complexes (2.5). This partly generalizes Elfving's theorem for locally linear $G$-manifolds [Elf96],…
We study the topology of compact manifolds with a Lie group action for which there are only finitely many non-principal orbits, and describe the possible orbit spaces which can occur. If some non-principal orbit is singular, we show that…
This work concerns representations of a finite flat group scheme $G$, defined over a noetherian commutative ring $R$. The focus is on lattices, namely, finitely generated $G$-modules that are projective as $R$-modules, and on the full…
Let {X_i} be a tower of discrete G-spectra, each of which is fibrant as a spectrum, so that X=holim_i X_i is a continuous G-spectrum, with homotopy fixed point spectrum X^{hG}. The E_2-term of the descent spectral sequence for \pi_*(X^{hG})…
We investigate Hopf algebroids in the category of $L$-complete modules over a commutative Noetherian regular complete local ring. The main examples are provided by the Hopf algebroids associated to Lubin-Tate spectra in the K(n)-local…
Let $G$ be a Lie group with a biinvariant metric, not necessarily positive definite. It is shown that a certain construction carried out in an earlier paper for the fundamental group of a closed surface may be extended to an arbitrary…
