In [10] it was shown that there is a mapping class group-equivariant deformation retraction of the Teichm\"uller space of a closed surface onto a CW complex with dimension equal to the virtual cohomological dimension of the mapping class…

It has been argued by Witten and others that in the presence of a nontrivial B-field, D-brane charges in type IIB string theories are measured by twisted K-theory. In joint work with Bouwknegt, Carey and Murray it was proved that twisted…

In this note some generalization of the Chern character is discussed from the chromatic point of view. We construct a multiplicative G_{n+1}-equivariant natural transformation \Theta from some height (n+1) cohomology theory E^*(-) to the…

The goal of this work is to construct integral Chern classes and higher cycle classes for a smooth variety over a perfect field of characteristic p>0 that are compatible with the rigid Chern classes defined by Petrequin. The Chern classes…

The goal of this paper is to prove Riemann-Roch type theorems for Deligne-Mumford algebraic stacks. To this end, we introduce a "cohomology with coefficients in representations" and a Chern character, and we prove a…

The groups of differential characters of Cheeger and Simons admit a natural multiplicative structure. The map given by the squares of degree 2k differential characters reduces to a homomorphism of ordinary cohomology groups. We prove that…

We study non-additive operations from algebraic Morava K-theories to oriented cohomology theories in algebraic geometry. For oriented cohomology theory $A$ that has a {$p^n$}-typical formal group law over a $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$-algebra we…

We propose a dimensional reduction procedure in the Stolz--Teichner framework of supersymmetric Euclidean field theories (EFTs) that is well-suited in the presence of a finite gauge group or, more generally, for field theories over an…

This paper studies the obstructions to deforming a map from a complex variety to another variety which is an immersion of codimension one. We extend the classical notion of semiregularity of subvarieties to maps between varieties, and show…

In previous work we generalised both the odd and even local index formula of Connes and Moscovici to the case of spectral triples for a *-subalgebra \A of a general semifinite von Neumann algebra. Our proofs are novel even in the setting of…

In this paper, we investigate the noncompact prescribed Chern scalar curvature problem which reduces to solve a Kazdan-Warner type equation on noncompact non-K\"{a}hler manifolds. By introducing an analytic condition on noncompact…

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 give two formulas for the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of symmetric and skew-symmetric degeneracy loci. We apply them in enumerative geometry, explore their algebraic combinatorics, and discuss K theory generalizations.

We study the deformations of the Chow group of zero-cycles of the special fibre of a smooth scheme over a henselian discrete valuation ring. Our main tools are Bloch's formula and differential forms. As a corollary we get an algebraization…
