We show that the algebraic K-theory of semi-valuation rings with stably coherent regular semi-fraction ring satisfies homotopy invariance. Moreover, we show that these rings are regular if their valuation is non-trivial. Thus they yield…
We investigate the nature of the ground ring of c=1 string theory at the special A-D-E points in the c=1 moduli space associated to discrete subgroups of SU(2). The chiral ground rings at these points are shown to define the A-D-E series of…
The local Gromov-Witten theory of curves is solved by localization and degeneration methods. Localization is used for the exact evaluation of basic integrals in the local Gromov-Witten theory of P^1. A TQFT formalism is defined via…
Let kq denote the very effective cover of the motivic Hermitian K-theory spectrum. We analyze the ring of cooperations $\pi^\mathbb{R}_{**}(\text{kq} \otimes \text{kq})$ in the stable motivic homotopy category $\text{SH}(\mathbb{R})$,…
We investigate modules over "systematic" rings. Such rings are "almost graded" and have appeared under various names in the literature; they are special cases of the G-systems of Grzeszczuk. We analyse their K-theory in the presence of…
We investigate when a commutative ring spectrum $R$ satisfies a homotopical version of local Gorenstein duality, extending the notion previously studied by Greenlees. In order to do this, we prove an ascent theorem for local Gorenstein…
Given an $E_1$-ring $A$ and a class $a \in \pi_{mk}(A)$ satisfying a suitable hypothesis, we define a map of $E_1$-rings $A\to A(\sqrt[m]{a})$ realizing the adjunction of an $m$th root of $a$. We define a form of logarithmic THH for…
We establish a "second vanishing theorem" for local cohomology modules over regular rings of unramified mixed characteristic, which relates the connectedness of the spectrum of a ring with the vanishing of local cohomology. Applying this,…
Given a field $K$ equipped with a set of discrete valuations $V$, we develop a general theory to relate reduction properties of skew-hermitian forms over a quaternion $K$-algebra $Q$ to quadratic forms over the function field $K(Q)$…
This is a companion to a recent investigation of K-theoretical invariants for symmetric spaces. We introduce a new class of cycles in K-groups, which are connected to elements of an underlying root lattice. This will be needed for a…
We prove several results showing that the algebraic $K$-theory of valuation rings behave as though such rings were regular Noetherian, in particular an analogue of the Geisser--Levine theorem. We also give some new proofs of known results…
In this paper we discuss physical derivations of the quantum K theory rings of symplectic Grassmannians. We compare to standard presentations in terms of Schubert cycles, but most of our work revolves around a proposed description in terms…
To an arbitrary variety over a field of characteristic zero, we associate a complex of Chow motives, which is, up to homotopy, unique and bounded. We deduce that any variety has a natural Euler characteristic in the Grothendieck group of…
Given a closed symplectic manifold $X$, we construct Gromov-Witten-type invariants valued both in (complex) $K$-theory and in any complex-oriented cohomology theory $\mathbb{K}$ which is $K_p(n)$-local for some Morava $K$-theory $K_p(n)$.…
In this paper we show that the `quantization commutes with reduction' principle of Guillemin-Sternberg holds for the coadjoint orbits that parametrize the discrete series of a real connected semi-simple Lie group.
To any pullback square of ring spectra we associate a new ring spectrum and use it to describe the failure of excision in algebraic $K$-theory. The construction of this new ring spectrum is categorical and hence allows to determine the…
Over any field of characteristic not 2, we establish a 2-term resolution of the $\eta$-periodic, 2-local motivic sphere spectrum by shifts of the connective 2-local Witt K-theory spectrum. This is curiously similar to the resolution of the…
We determine the structure modulo p of the de Rham-Witt complex of a smooth scheme X over a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic with log-poles along the special fiber Y and show that the sub-sheaf fixed by the Frobenius is…
We determine the A(1)-homotopy of the topological cyclic homology of the connective real K-theory spectrum ko. The answer has an associated graded that is a free F_2[v_2^4]-module of rank 52, on explicit generators in stems -1 \le * \le 30.…
We describe a map from the equivariant twisted K-homology of a compact, connected, simply connected Lie group $G$ to the Verlinde ring. Our map is described at the level of `D-cycles' for the geometric twisted K-homology of $G$, and is…
