The paper describes the algebraic structure of the graded algebra of differentially homogeneous polynomials of fixed finite order. We show that it is a finitely generated algebra, and we exhibit a minimal set of generators. Along the way,…
We provide a complete geometric solution to the problem of differentiating simplicial manifolds, extending classical Lie theory and complementing existing homotopical and formal approaches within a unifying framework. First, we establish a…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$ and let $\ell$ be a prime number different from $p$. Let $U \subseteq G$ be a maximal unipotent subgroup, $T$ a maximal torus…
Let $G$ be a simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and denote by $\mathrm{C}_{\bullet}(G)$ the DG Hopf algebra of smooth singular chains on $G$. In a companion paper it was shown that the category of sufficiently smooth…
In the previous part of this diptych, we defined the notion of an admissible simplicial connection, as well as explaining how H.I. Green constructed a resolution of coherent analytic sheaves by locally free sheaves on the \v{C}ech nerve.…
We show that the convolution algebra of smooth, compactly-supported functions on a Lie groupoid is H-unital in the sense of Wodzicki. We also prove H-unitality of infinite order vanishing ideals associated to invariant, closed subsets of…
We show a Chern-Weil type statement and a Hilbert-Samuel formula for a large class of singular plurisubharmonic metrics on a line bundle over a smooth projective complex variety. For this we use the theory of b-divisors and the so-called…
The aim of this paper is two fold: First to study finite groups $G$ of automorphisms of the homogenized Weyl algebra $B_{n}$, the skew group algebra $B_{n}\ast G$, the ring of invariants $B_{n}^{G}$, and the relations of these algebras with…
G-algebras, or Groebner bases algebras, were considered by Levandovsky, these algebras include very important families of algebras, like the Weyl algebras and the universal enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional Lie algebra. These…
We provide an equivalence between the category of affine, smooth group schemes over the ring of generalized dual numbers $k[I]$, and the category of extensions of the form $1 \rightarrow \text{Lie}(G, I) \rightarrow E \rightarrow G…
The homotopy symmetric $C^*$-algebras are those separable $C^*$-algebras for which one can unsuspend in E-theory. We find a new simple condition that characterizes homotopy symmetric nuclear $C^*$-algebras and use it to show that the…
We prove a Simons-type holonomy theorem for totally skew 1-forms with values in a Lie algebra of linear isometries. The only transitive case, for this theorem, is the full orthogonal group. We only use geometric methods and we do not use…
We define, for a regular scheme $S$ and a given field of characteristic zero $\KK$, the notion of $\KK$-linear mixed Weil cohomology on smooth $S$-schemes by a simple set of properties, mainly: Nisnevich descent, homotopy invariance,…
The theory of principal $G$-bundles over a Lie groupoid is an important one, unifying the various types of principal $G$-bundles, including those over manifolds, those over orbifolds, as well as equivariant principal $G$-bundles. In this…
We discuss generalizations of the notion of i) the group of unitary elements of a (real or complex) finite dimensional C*-algebra, ii) gauge transformations and iii) (real) automorphisms, in the framework of compact quantum group theory and…
A generalised notion of Kac-Moody algebra is defined using smooth maps from a compact real manifold $\mathcal{M}$ to a finite-dimensional Lie group, by means of complete orthonormal bases for a Hermitian inner product on the manifold and a…
Our main theorems provide a single geometric setting in which polynomial representatives for Schubert classes in the integral cohomology ring of the flag manifold are determined uniquely, and have positive coefficients for geometric…
We give a Chern-Weil map for the Gel'fand-Fuks characteristic classes of Haefliger-singular foliations, those foliations defined by smooth Haefliger structures with dense regular set. Our characteristic map constructs, out of singular…
Let $A$ be a symmetrizable generalized Cartan matrix, which is not of finite or affine type. Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be the corresponding Kac-Moody algebra over a commutative ring $R$ with $1$. We construct an infinite-dimensional group $G_V(R)$…
We show that an element $w$ of a finite Weyl group $W$ is rationally smooth if and only if the hyperplane arrangement $I$ associated to the inversion set of $w$ is inductively free, and the product $(d_1+1) \cdots (d_l+1)$ of the…
