Let $kE$ denote the group algebra of an elementary abelian $p$-group of rank $r$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We investigate the functors $\mathcal{F}_i$ from $kE$-modules of constant Jordan type to vector…

We use the idea of generic extensions to investigate the correspondence between the isomorphism classes of nilpotent representations of a cyclic quiver and the orbits in the corresponding representation varieties. We endow the set $\cal M$…

The Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture for smooth complex varieties states that algebraic and topological K-theory with finite coefficients become isomorphic in high degrees. We define the "Lichtenbaum-Quillen dimension" of a variety in terms…

The aim of this note is to study the class of one dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local rings, $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ say, possessing a canonical ideal $K$ which is a reduction of $\mathfrak{m}$. We call $R$ to have canonical reduction $K$. We show…

This is a review/announcement of results concerning the connection between certain exactly solvable two-dimensional models of statistical mechanics, namely loop models, and the equivariant $K$-theory of the cotangent bundle of the…

We give a presentation of the torus-equivariant quantum $K$-theory ring of flag manifolds of type $A$, as a quotient of a polynomial ring by an explicit ideal. This is the torus-equivariant version of our previous result, which gives a…

Let $B$ be a nilpotent matrix and suppose that its Jordan canonical form is determined by a partition $\lambda$. Then it is known that its nilpotent commutator $N_B$ is an irreducible variety and that there is a unique partition $\mu$ such…

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…

Let $n$ be a fixed positive integer and $h: \{1,2,...,n\} \rightarrow \{1,2,...,n\}$ a Hessenberg function. The main result of this manuscript is to give a systematic method for producing an explicit presentation by generators and relations…

We utilize physics arguments, and the nonabelian/abelian correspondence, to relate the Givental and Lee's quantum K theory ring of Grassmannians to a twisted variant of the quantum cohomology ring. Furthermore, the quantum K pairing is…

Associated to each Tambara functor $T$ is its Nakaoka spectrum $\mathrm{Spec}(T)$, analogous to the Zariski spectrum of a commutative ring. We establish that this topological space is spectral. This result follows from an analysis of the…

We associate a bivariant theory to any suitable oriented Borel-Moore homology theory on the category of algebraic schemes or the category of algebraic G-schemes. Applying this to the theory of algebraic cobordism yields operational…

We consider algebraic varieties canonically associated to any Lie superalgebra, and study them in detail for super-Poincar\'e algebras of physical interest. They are the locus of nilpotent elements in (the projectivized parity reversal of)…

Let $\mathfrak{g}_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a split real, simple Lie algebra with complexification $\mathfrak{g}$. Let $G_{\mathbb{C}}$ be the connected, simply connected Lie group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ the connected…

Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer. An \emph{$n$-potent} is an element $e$ of a ring $R$ such that $e^n = e$. In this paper, we study $n$-potents in matrices over $R$ and use them to construct an abelian group $K_0^n(R)$. If $A$ is a complex…

We describe the quantum cohomology rings of a class of toric varieties. The description includes, in addition to the (already known) ring presentations, the (new) analogues for toric varieties of the sorts of quantum Giambelli formulas…

In this article we describe the $T_{comp}$-equivariant topological $K$-ring of a $T$-{\it cellular} complete toric variety. We further show that $K_{T_{comp}}^0(X)$ is isomorphic as an $R(T_{comp})$-algebra to the ring of piecewise Laurent…

We describe the irreducible components of Springer fibers for hook and two-row nilpotent elements of gl_n(C) as iterated bundles of flag manifolds and Grassmannians. We then relate the topology (in particular, the intersection homology…

We apply a theorem of J. Lurie to produce cohomology theories associated to certain Shimura varieties of type U(1,n-1). These cohomology theories of topological automorphic forms (TAF) are related to Shimura varieties in the same way that…

This is the first in a series of papers investigating the relationship between the twisted equivariant K-theory of a compact Lie group G and the "Verlinde ring" of its loop group. In this paper we set up the foundations of twisted…
