Recently, Donaldson proved asymptotic stability for a polarized algebraic manifold $M$ with polarization class admitting a K\"ahler metric of constant scalar curvature, essentially when the linear algebraic part $H$ of $Aut^0(M)$ is…

The dihedral homology functor $HD:A_\infty^{{\rm inv}}(K)\to GrM(K)$ from the category $A_\infty^{{\rm inv}}(K)$ of involutive $A_\infty$-algebras over any commutative unital ring $K$ to the category $GrM(K)$ of graded $K$-modules is…

The present article is devoted to the study of transfers for $A_\infty$ structures, their maps and homotopies, as developed in \cite{Markl06}. In particular, we supply the proofs of claims formulated therein and provide their extension by…

We explore various formality and finiteness properties in the differential graded algebra models for the Sullivan algebra of piecewise polynomial rational forms on a space. The 1-formality property of the space may be reinterpreted in terms…

Generalising a previous work of Jiang and Sheng, a cohomology theory for differential Lie algebras of arbitrary weight is introduced. The underlying $L_\infty[1]$-structure on the cochain complex is also determined via a generalised version…

It is a prominent conjecture (relating Riemannian geometry and algebraic topology) that all simply-connected compact manifolds of special holonomy should be formal spaces, i.e., their rational homotopy type should be derivable from their…

This paper is devoted, first of all, to give a complete unified proof of the Characterization Theorem for compact generalized $p-$K\"ahler manifolds (Theorem 3.2). The proof is based on the classical duality between "closed" positive forms…

We treat Koll\'ar's injectivity theorem from the analytic (or differential geometric) viewpoint. More precisely, we give a curvature condition which implies Koll\'ar type cohomology injectivity theorems. Our main theorem is formulated for a…

Handling curved $ A_\infty $-deformations is challenging and defining their derived categories seems impossible. In this paper, we show how to welcome the curvature and build derived categories despite the apparent difficulties. We…

We give a survey on the homotopy theory of the regular group of Banach algebras with emphasis on the unstable K-Theory of real and complex C*-algebras

We compute the equivariant K-theory with integer coefficients of an equivariantly formal isotropy action, subject to natural hypotheses which cover the three major classes of known examples. The proof proceeds by constructing a map of…

We prove the formality and the evenness of odd-degree Betti numbers for compact K\"ahler orbifolds, by adapting the classical proofs for K\"ahler manifolds. As a consequence, we obtain examples of symplectic orbifolds not admitting any…

We study the differential graded Lie algebra of endomorphisms of the Koszul resolution of a regular sequence on a unitary commutative $K$-algebra $R$ and we prove that it is homotopy abelian over $K$, while it is generally not formal over…

The formality theorem for Hochschild chains of the algebra of functions on a smooth manifold gives us a version of the trace density map from the zeroth Hochschild homology of a deformation quantization algebra to the zeroth Poisson…

In the present paper the cyclic homology functor from the category of $A_\infty$-algebras over any commutative unital ring $K$ to the category of graded $K$-modules is constructed. Further, it is showed that this functor sends homotopy…

If a closed orientable manifold (resp. rational Poincar\'e duality space) $X$ receives a map $Y \to X$ from a formal manifold (resp. space) $Y$ that hits a fundamental class, then $X$ is formal. The main technical ingredient in the proof…

This paper studies averaging algebras, say, associative algebras endowed with averaging operators. We develop a cohomology theory for averaging algebras and justify it by interpreting lower degree cohomology groups as formal deformations…

Quantization, at least in some formulations, involves replacing some algebra of observables by a (more non-commutative) deformed algebra. In view of the fundamental role played by K-theory in non-commutative geometry and topology, it is of…

We discuss general properties of $A_\infty$-algebras and their applications to the theory of open strings. The properties of cyclicity for $A_\infty$-algebras are examined in detail. We prove the decomposition theorem, which is a stronger…

We show that the functor which assigns to an A-infinity morphism between isotopy classes of A-infinity algebras whose linear part is a chain homotopy equivalence its underlying chain map is a discrete Grothendieck bifibration. We then…
