We develop a variant of calculus of functors, and use it to relate the gauge group G(P) of a principal bundle P over M to the Thom ring spectrum (P^Ad)^{-TM}. If P has contractible total space, the resulting Thom ring spectrum is LM^{-TM},…

The prolongation g^{(k)} of a linear Lie algebra g \subset gl(V) plays an important role in the study of symmetries of G-structures. Cartan and Kobayashi-Nagano have given a complete classification of irreducible linear Lie algebras g…

We consider quotients of complex Stiefel manifolds by finite cyclic groups whose action is induced by the scalar multiplication on the corresponding complex vector space. We obtain a description of their tangent bundles, compute their mod p…

We show that f-vectors of matroid complexes of realisable matroids are log-concave. This was conjectured by Mason in 1972. Our proof uses the recent result by Huh and Katz who showed that the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of…

For any matroid $M$, we compute the Tutte polynomial $T_M(x,y)$ using the mixed intersection numbers of certain classes in the combinatorial Chow ring $A^\bullet(M)$ arising from hypersimplices. Using the mixed Hodge-Riemann relations, we…

We construct moduli spaces of linear self-maps of projective space with marked points, up to projective equivalence. That is, we let the special linear group act simultaneously by conjugation on projective linear maps and diagonally on…

Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a Krull-Schmidt, Hom-finite triangulated category with suspension functor $[1]$. Let $R$ be a basic rigid object, $\Gamma$ the endomorphism algebra of $R$, and $\operatorname{\mathsf{pr}}(R)\subseteq \mathcal{T}$ the…

Our approach to structural matrix rings defines them over preordered directed graphs. A grading of a structural matrix ring is called a good grading if its standard unit matrices are homogeneous. For a group $G$, a $G$ -grading set is a set…

Given a moduli problem posed using Geometric Invariant Theory, one can use Non-Reductive Geometric Invariant Theory to quotient unstable HKKN strata and construct 'moduli spaces of unstable objects', extending the usual moduli…

Rota-Baxter systems are modified by the inclusion of a curvature term. It is shown that, subject to specific properties of the curvature form, curved Rota-Baxter systems $(A,R,S,\omega)$ induce associative and (left) pre-Lie products on the…

Let $a$ be a real euclidean vector space of finite dimension and $\Sigma$ a root system in $a$ with a basis $\Delta$. Let $\Theta \subset \Delta$ and $M = M_{\Theta}$ be a standard Levi of a reductive group $G$ such that $a_{\Theta}$ $= a_M…

This talk introduces a Cartan-geometric framework for generalised geometries governed by a differential graded Lie algebra. In contrast to ordinary Cartan geometry, the tangent bundle is extended and qu both a global duality group and a…

Let V be a G-module where G is a complex reductive group. Let Z:=V//G denote the categorical quotient. One can ask if the Luna stratification of Z is intrinsic. That is, if phi : Z\to Z is any automorphism, does phi send strata to strata?…

We review some definitions and basic notions relating to generalised spin structures and introduce the notion of reducibility. We discuss connections on these structures, define a covariant Lie derivative for associated bundles and develop…

The aim of this paper and its sequel is to introduce and classify the holonomy algebras of the projective Tractor connection. After a brief historical background, this paper presents and analyses the projective Cartan and Tractor…

We study totally acyclic complexes of projective modules over triangular matrix rings and then use it to classify Gorenstein projective modules over such rings. We also use this classification to obtain some information concerning…

We propose and compare several projection methods applied to variational integrators for degenerate Lagrangian systems, whose Lagrangian is of the form $L = \vartheta(q) \cdot \dot{q} - H(q)$ and thus linear in velocities. While previous…

Let G be a Lie goup, let M and N be smooth connected G-manifolds, let f be a smooth G-map from M to N, and let P denote the fiber of f. Given a closed and equivariantly closed relative 2-form for f with integral periods, we construct the…

The stratified structure of the configuration space $\mb G^N = G \times ... \times G$ reduced with respect to the action of $G$ by inner automorphisms is investigated for $G = SU(3) .$ This is a finite dimensional model coming from lattice…

This paper develops the theory of Cartan geometries modeled on the future lightlike cone of Lorentz Minkowski spacetime, which we refer to as lightlike Cartan geometries. We show that such geometries naturally induce on the base manifold a…
