We prove that graded $k$-Schur functions are $G$-equivariant Euler characteristics of vector bundles on the flag variety, settling a conjecture of Chen-Haiman. We expose a new miraculous shift invariance property of the graded $k$-Schur…

We prove continuity results for new stability thresholds related to uniform K-stability and deduce that uniform K-stability is an open condition in the K\"ahler cone of any compact K\"ahler manifold, thus establishing an algebro-geometric…

A flat complex vector bundle (E,D) on a compact Riemannian manifold (X,g) is stable (resp. polystable) in the sense of Corlette [C] if it has no D-invariant subbundle (resp. if it is the D-invariant direct sum of stable subbundles). It has…

We consider the problem of existence of constant scalar curvature Kaehler metrics on complete intersections of sections of vector bundles. In particular we give general formulas relating the Futaki invariant of such a manifold to the weight…

We find lower bounds on the rank of a "real" vector bundle over an involutive space, such that "real" vector bundles of higher rank have a trivial summand and such that a stable isomorphism for such bundles implies ordinary isomorphism. We…

Let $P=G/K$ be a semisimple non-compact Riemannian symmetric space, where $G=I_0(P)$ and $K=G_p$ is the stabilizer of $p\in P$. Let $X$ be an orbit of the (isotropy) representation of $K$ on $T_p(P)$ ($X$ is called a real flag manifold).…

We prove a universal embedding theorem for flag manifolds: every flag manifold admits a holomorphic isometric embedding into an irreducible classical flag manifold. This result generalizes the classical celebrated embedding theorems of…

We study the operational bivariant theory associated to the covariant theory of Grothendieck groups of coherent sheaves, and prove that it has many geometric properties analogous to those of operational Chow theory. This operational…

Consider a polarized complex manifold (X,L) and a ray of positive metrics on L defined by a positive metric on a test configuration for (X,L). For most of the common functionals in K\"ahler geometry, we prove that the slope at infinity…

Indices of singular points of a vector field or of a 1-form on a smooth manifold are closely related with the Euler characteristic through the classical Poincar\'e--Hopf theorem. Generalized Euler characteristics (additive topological…

The Euler characteristic is the only additive topological invariant for spaces of certain sort, in particular, for manifolds with some finiteness properties. A generalization of the notion of a manifold is the notion of a V-manifold. Here…

Haken n-manifolds have been defined and studied by B. Foozwell and H. Rubinstein in analogy with the classical Haken manifolds of dimension 3, based upon the the theory of boundary patterns developed by K. Johannson. The Euler…

Let $M=P(E)$ be the complex manifold underlying the total space of the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle $E \to \Sigma$ over a compact complex curve $\Sigma$ of genus $\ge 2$. Building on ideas of Fujiki, we prove that $M$…

Let $P(E)$ be the projectivization of a holomorphic vector bundle $E$ over a compact complex curve $C$. We characterize the existence of an extremal K\"ahler metric on the ruled manifold $P(E)$ in terms of relative K-polystability and the…

The $\mathbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic is a refinement in algebraic geometry of the classical topological Euler characteristic, which can be constructed using motivic homotopy theory. This invariant is a quadratic form rather than an…

Let $X$ be a projective K3 surfaces. In two examples where there exists a fine moduli space $M$ of stable vector bundles on $X$, isomorphic to a Hilbert scheme of points, we prove that the universal family $\mathcal{E}$ on $X\times M$ can…

We prove that each exponential functor on the category of finite-dimensional complex inner product spaces and isomorphisms gives rise to an equivariant higher (ie. non-classical) twist of $K$-theory over $G=SU(n)$. This twist is represented…

The flag vector contains all the face incidence data of a polytope, and in the poset setting, the chain enumerative data. It is a classical result due to Bayer and Klapper that for face lattices of polytopes, and more generally, Eulerian…

Let G be a torus and M a G-Hamiltonian manifold with Kostant line bundle L and proper moment map. Let P be the weight lattice of G. We consider a parameter k and the multiplicity $m(\lambda,k)$ of the quantized representation associated to…

The compactly supported $\mathbb{A}^1$-Euler characteristic, introduced by Hoyois and later refined by Levine and others, is an anologue in motivic homotopy theory of the classical Euler characteristic of complex topological manifolds. It…
