We define the appropriate homological setting to study deformation theory of complete locally convex (curved) dg-algebras based on Positselski's contraderived categories. We define the corresponding Hochschild complex controlling…
We describe the Chow homology and cohomology of toric variety bundles, with no restrictions on the singularities of the fibre. We present the ordinary and equivariant homologies as modules over the cohomology of the base, identify the…
We study a class of hyperbolic Cauchy problems, associated with linear operators and systems with polynomially bounded coefficients, variable multiplicities and involutive characteristics, globally defined on R^n. We prove well-posedness in…
Macdonald studied a discrete volume measure for a rational polytope $P$, called solid angle sum, that gives a natural discrete volume for $P$. We give a local formula for the codimension two quasi-coefficient of the solid angle sum of $P$.…
According to a statement by Pavel Etingof, in the special case of an affine variety $X$ with a faithful action by a finite group $G$, the sheaf of (twisted) Cherednik algebras $\mathcal{H}_{1, c, \psi, X, G}$ with formal parameters $c,…
When two smooth manifold bundles over the same base are fiberwise tangentially homeomorphic, the difference is measured by a homology class in the total space of the bundle. We call this the relative smooth structure class. Rationally and…
We introduce new invariants of a Riemannian singular space, the local Yamabe and Sobolev constants, and then go on to prove a general version of the Yamabe theorem under that the global Yamabe invariant of the space is strictly less than…
It is shown that in dimension at least three a local diffeomorphism of Euclidean n-space into itself is injective provided that the pull-back of every plane is a Riemannian submanifold which is conformal to a plane. Using a similar…
A geometric construction of Sullivan's Stiefel-Whitney homology classes of a real analytic variety $X$ is given by means of the conormal cycle of an embedding of $X$ in a smooth variety. We prove that the Stiefel-Whitney classes define…
We study numerically the Cauchy problem for equivariant wave maps from 3+1 Minkowski spacetime into the 3-sphere. On the basis of numerical evidence combined with stability analysis of self-similar solutions we formulate two conjectures.…
Let $f\colon X\to\mathbb{A}^1_k$ be a morphism from a smooth variety to an affine line with an isolated singular point. For such a singularity, we have two invariants. One is a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form (de Rham), and the other…
Let X be a non-singular algebraic curve of genus at least 3 and let M denote the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank n and fixed determinant of degree d with n and d coprime. For any semistable bundle E over X, we can pull E back…
This paper is the first part of a two part paper which introduces the study of the Whitney Equisingularity of families of Symmetric determinantal singularities. This study reveals how to use the multiplicity of polar curves associated to a…
This paper is dedicated to the study of deformations of coassociative 4-folds in a G_2 manifold which have conical singularities. We stratify the types of deformations allowed into three problems. The main result for each problem states…
In this paper we give complete analytic invariants for germs of holomorphic foliations in $(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ that become regular after a single blow-up. Some of them describe the holonomy pseudogroup of the germ and are called transverse…
In this paper we study the deformation and Q-Gorenstein deformation theory of schemes with non-isolated singularities. We obtain obstruction spaces for the existence of deformations and also for local deformations to exist globally. Finally…
We study the vanishing cycles of a one-parameter smoothing of a complex analytic space and show that the weight filtration on its perverse cohomology sheaf of the highest degree is quite close to the monodromy filtration so that its graded…
We show that smoothness implies norm-controlled inversion: the smoothness of an element $a$ in a Banach algebra with a one-parameter automorphism group is preserved under inversion, and the norm of the inverse $a^{-1}$ is controlled by the…
An important combinatorial result in equivariant cohomology and $K$-theory Schubert calculus is represented by the formulas of Billey and Graham-Willems for the localization of Schubert classes at torus fixed points. These formulas work…
For a given finite dimensional Hopf algebra $H$ we describe the set of all equivalence classes of cocycle deformations of $H$ as an affine variety, using methods of geometric invariant theory. We show how our results specialize to the…
