Given Y a non-compact manifold or orbifold, we define a natural subspace of the cohomology of Y called the narrow cohomology. We show that despite Y being non-compact, there is a well-defined and non-degenerate pairing on this subspace. The…

The Chow ring of $\mathcal{M}_g$ is known to be generated by tautological classes for $g \leq 9$. Meanwhile, the first example of a non-tautological class on $\mathcal{M}_{g}$ is the fundamental class of the bielliptic locus in…

Let T denote the group of smooth concordance classes of topologically sice knots. We show that the first quotient in the bipolar filtration of T (i.e. 0-bipolar knots modulo 1-bipolar knots) has infinite rank, even modulo Alexander…

Motivated by a general question addressed by Mario Baldassarri in 1956, we discuss characterizations of the Pseudo-Abelian Varieties introduced by Roth, and we introduce a first new notion, of Manifolds Isogenous to a k-Torus Product: the…

This paper attempts to provide an analogue of the Novikov conjecture for algebraic (or K\"{a}hler) manifolds. Inter alia, we prove a conjecture of Rosenberg's on the birational invariance of higher Todd genera. We argue that in the…

The main result of this paper is non-vanishing of the image of the index map from the $G$-equivariant $K$-homology of a proper $G$-compact $G$-manifold $X$ to the $K$-theory of the $C^{*}$-algebra of the group $G$. Under the assumption that…

Schwarz showed that when a closed symplectic manifold (M,\om) is symplectically aspherical (i.e. the symplectic form and the first Chern class vanish on \pi_2(M)) then the spectral invariants, which are initially defined on the universal…

A torus manifold is an even-dimensional manifold acted on by a half-dimensional torus with non-empty fixed point set and some additional orientation data. It may be considered as a far-reaching generalisation of toric manifolds from…

We exhibit a finitely generated group $\M$ whose rational homology is isomorphic to the rational stable homology of the mapping class group. It is defined as a mapping class group associated to a surface $\su$ of infinite genus, and…

We first give a relative flexible process to construct torsion cohomology classes for Shimura varieties of Kottwitz-Harris-Taylor type with coefficient in a non too regular local system. We then prove that associated to each torsion…

We introduce a refinement of bounded cohomology and prove that the suitable comparison homomorphisms vanish for an amenable group. We investigate in this context Thompson's group F and provide further evidence towards its amenability. We…

On a compact K\"{a}hler manifold $X$ with a holomorphic 2-form $\a$, there is an almost complex structure associated with $\a$. We show how this implies vanishing theorems for the Gromov-Witten invariants of $X$. This extends the approach,…

A general vanishing result for the first cohomology group of affine smooth complex varieties with values in rank one local systems is established. This is applied to the determination of the monodromy action on the first cohomology group of…

This is a first in a series of papers, devoted to the relation betwwen three-manifolds and number fields. The present paper studies first homology of finite coverings of a three-manifold with primary interest in the Thurston $b_1$…

Using similarities between topological $K$-theory and periodic cyclic homology we show that, after tensoring with $\mathbb C$, for certain Fr\'echet algebras the Chern character provides an isomorphism between these functors. This is…

We show that the Chern character of a variation of polarized Hodge structures of weight one with nilpotent residues at $\infty$ dies up to torsion in the Chow ring, except in codimension 0.

Let a torus $T$ act on a symplectic manifold $(M,\omega)$ with moment map $\phi$. We say that the Hamiltonian $T$-manifold $(M,\omega,\phi)$ has complexity one if $\frac{1}{2} \dim M - \dim T = 1$, and that it is K\"ahler if it admits an…

Morita showed that for each power of the Euler class, there are examples of flat $\mathbb{S}^1$-bundles for which the power of the Euler class does not vanish. Haefliger asked if the same holds for flat odd-dimensional sphere bundles. In…

We study a space of genus $g$ stable, $n$-marked tropical curves with total edge length $1$. Its rational homology is identified both with top-weight cohomology of the complex moduli space $M_{g,n}$ and with the homology of a marked version…

On a smooth closed oriented $4$-manifold $M$ with a smooth action by a compact Lie group $G$, we define a $G$-monopole class as an element of $H^2(M;\Bbb Z)$ which is the first Chern class of a $G$-equivariant Spin$^c$ structure which has a…
