A fundamental goal of algebraic geometry is to do for singular varieties whatever we can do for smooth ones. Intersection homology, for example, directly produces groups associated to any variety which have almost all the properties of the…

We introduce and investigate a functorial construction which associates coherent sheaves to finite dimensional (restricted) representations of a restricted Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. These are sheaves on locally closed subvarieties of the…

While higher bundles are of clear relevance to higher gauge theory, examples other than abelian bundle gerbes are hard to come across. One would in particular like to see 2-bundles where the structure 2-group is the String 2-group…

We investigate relative connections on a sheaf of modules. A sufficient condition is given for the existence of a relative holomorphic connection on a holomorphic vector bundle over a complex analytic family. We show that the relative Chern…

We use Chern-Weil theory for Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles with canonical connections for explicit computation of the Chern forms of trivial bundles with special non-diagonal Hermitian metrics. We prove that every del-dellbar exact…

Characteristic classes, which are abstract topological invariants associated with vector bundles, have become an important notion in modern physics with surprising real-world consequences. As a representative example, the incredible…

Topological quantum systems subjected to an even (resp. odd) time-reversal symmetry can be classified by looking at the related "Real" (resp. "Quaternionic") Bloch-bundles. If from one side the topological classification of these…

Consider the cycle class map cl_{r,m} : CH^r(U,m;\Q) \to \Gamma H^{2r-m}(U,\Q(r)), where CH^r(U,m;\Q) is Bloch's higher Chow group (tensored with \Q) of a smooth complex quasi-projective variety U, and H^{2r-m}(U,\Q(r)) is singular…

The moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties $A_g$ of genus g is defined over the integers and admits a minimal compactification $A_g^*$, also defined over the integers. The Hodge bundle over $A_g$ has its Chern classes in…

We prove Bloch's formula for the Chow group of 0-cycles with modulus on smooth projective varieties over finite fields. The proof relies on two new results in global ramification theory.

Let X be a variety over a field of characteristic 0. Given a vector bundle E on X we construct Chern forms c_{i}(E;\nabla) in \Gamma(X, \cal{A}^{2i}_{X}). Here \cal{A}^{.}_{X} is the sheaf Beilinson adeles and \nabla is an adelic…

We prove a formula for Chow groups of $Quot$-schemes which resolve degeneracy loci of a map between vector bundles, under expected dimension conditions. This result provides a unified way to understand known formulae for various geometric…

We study rank 2 torus-equivariant torsion-free sheaves on the complex projective space. For reflexive sheaves we derive a simple formula for the Chern polynomial, and in the general torsion-free case we introduce an iterative construction…

We report the theoretical discovery of a systematic scheme to produce topological flat bands (TFBs) with arbitrary Chern numbers. We find that generically a multi-orbital high Chern number TFB model can be constructed by considering…

Let G be a complex connected reductive group. The representation ring R(G) admits a canonical filtration defined in terms of the lambda-structure. We compute the associated graded ring gr R(G) (over Q) and the Chern classes of a…

We construct Chern classes of vector bundles in the universal precobordism theory of Annala--Yokura over an arbitrary Noetherian base ring of finite Krull dimension. As an immediate corollary of this, we show that the Grothendieck ring of…

Consider an involution of a smooth projective variety over a field of characteristic not two. We look at the relations between the variety and the fixed locus of the involution from the point of view of cobordism. We show in particular that…

This article surveys some recent work of the author on Hilbert modular fourfolds X. After some preliminaries on the cohomology and special, codimension 2 cycles Z on X of Hirzebruch-Zagier type, a proof of the Tate conjecture for X over…

We give upper and lower bounds for the order of the top Chern class of the Hodge bundle on the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties. We also give a generalization to higher genera of the famous formula $12…

A simple algebraic characterization of the Fano manifolds in the class of homogeneous toric bundles over a flag manifold $G^C/P$ is provided in terms of symplectic data.
