A theory of characteristic classes of vector bundles and smooth manifolds plays an important role in the theory of smooth manifolds. An investigation of reasonable notions of characteristic classes of singular spaces started since a…

Given $G$ an algebraic reductive group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and $\Gamma$ a finitely generated group, we provide a stratification of the $G$-character variety of $\Gamma$ in terms of conjugacy classes of…

Following [14], we compute the motivic cohomology ring of the Nisnevich classifying space of the unitary group associated to the standard split hermitian form of a quadratic extension. This provides us with subtle characteristic classes…

For a connected regular scheme X, flat and of finite type over Spec(Z), we construct a reciprocity homomorphism \rho_X: C_X --> \pi_1^\ab(X), which is surjective and whose kernel is the connected component of the identity. The (topological)…

We establish a formula for the classes of certain tori in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, in terms of its lambda-structure. More explicitly, we will see that if L* is the torus of invertible elements in the n-dimensional separable…

For groups of a topological origin, such as braid groups and mapping class groups, an important source of interesting and highly non-trivial representations is given by their actions on the twisted homology of associated spaces; these are…

We provide a homological model for a family of quantum representations of mapping class groups arising from non-semisimple TQFTs (Topological Quantum Field Theories). Our approach gives a new geometric point of view on these…

We construct virtual fundamental classes for dg-manifolds whose tangent sheaves have cohomology only in degrees 0 and 1. This condition is analogous to the existence of a perfect obstruction theory in the approach of Behrend-Fantechi [BF]…

We introduce a theoretical framework that connects multi-chart autoencoders in manifold learning with the classical theory of vector bundles and characteristic classes. Rather than viewing autoencoders as producing a single global Euclidean…

A topologically-invariant and additive homology class is mostly not a natural transformation as it is. In this paper we discuss turning such a homology class into a natural transformation; i.e., a "categorification" of it. In a general…

In this paper, we give a simple and geometric, but formal, description of an open subset of the character variety of surface groups into $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})$. The main ingredient is a modified version of the WKB method, which we call…

We construct a family of infinite-dimensional positive sub-coalgebras within the Grothendieck ring of Hecke algebras, when viewed as a Hopf algebra with respect to the induction and restriction functor. These sub-coalgebras have as…

A strong connection between cluster algebras and representation theory was established by the cluster category. Cluster characters, like the original Caldero-Chapoton (CC) map, are maps from certain triangulated categories to cluster…

We shall describe a simple generalization of commutative rings. The category GR of such "rings", contains the ordinary commutative rings (fully faithfully), but also the "integers" and "residue field" at a real or complex place of a field ;…

We define Hecke operators on vector-valued modular forms of the type that appear as characters of rational conformal field theories (RCFTs). These operators extend the previously studied Galois symmetry of the modular representation and…

For an infinity of number rings we express stable motivic invariants in terms of topological data determined by the complex numbers, the real numbers, and finite fields. We use this to extend Morel's identification of the endomorphism ring…

We prove a formula, originally due to Feit and Fine, for the class of the commuting variety in the Grothendieck group of varieties. Our method, which uses a power structure on the Grothendieck group of stacks, allows us to prove several…

We compute the Grothendieck group of the category of abelian varieties over an algebraically closed field $k$. We also compute the Grothendieck group of the category of $A$-isotypic abelian varieties, for any simple abelian variety $A$,…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic two. Let R be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over k. We construct a group stack \hat G over k, the metaplectic extension of the Greenberg realization of Sp_{2n}(R). We also…

We construct characteristic classes for singular algebraic varieties in motivic Borel-Moore homology, extending the motivic Euler class of the tangent bundle defined for smooth varieties. The two classes we define refine, in the setting of…
