In this text we expose basic cases of some fundamental ideas and methods of topology. Namely, of homotopy, degree, fundamental group, covering, Whitehead invariant, etc. This is done by considering the elementary example: closed polygonal…

Let G be a general (not necessarily finite dimensional compact) Lie group, let g be its Lie algebra, let Cg be the cone on g in the category of differential graded Lie algebras, and consider the functor which assigns to a chain complex V…

We prove a cyclic cohomological analogue of Haefliger's van Est-type theorem for the groupoid of germs of diffeomorphisms of a manifold. The differentiable version of cyclic cohomology is associated to the algebra of transverse differential…

This book introduces a new context for global homotopy theory, i.e., equivariant homotopy theory with universal symmetries. Many important equivariant theories naturally exist not just for a particular group, but in a uniform way for all…

We look more closely at the higher nonabelian de Rham cohomology of a smooth projective variety or family of varieties that had been defined in some previous papers. We formalize using $n$-stacks the notion of shape underlying this…

In this expository article we give a categorical definition of the integral cohomology ring of a stack. We show that for quotient stacks the categorical cohomology may be identified with equivariant cohomology. Via this identification we…

This paper is a generalization of arXiv:0810.0808. We develop the de Rham homotopy theory of not necessarily nilpotent spaces, using closed dg-categories and equivariant dg-algebras. We see these two algebraic objects correspond in a…

This paper is a first of a series of three papers which study eta invariants for laminations. In this first paper, we extend the results of Higson and Roe to deal with regular (unbounded) operators and more importantly to take into account…

Let $G$ be a simply connected solvable Lie group with a lattice $\Gamma$ and the Lie algebra $\g$ and a representation $\rho:G\to GL(V_{\rho})$ whose restriction on the nilradical is unipotent. Consider the flat bundle $E_{\rho}$ given by…

In this short note we show that the homotopy category of smooth compactifications of smooth algebraic varieties is equivalent to the homotopy category of smooth varieties over a field of characteristic zero. As an application we show that…

We introduce Hochschild (co-)homology of morphisms of schemes or analytic spaces and study its fundamental properties. In analogy with the cotangent complex we introduce the so called (derived) Hochschild complex of a morphism; the…

A procedure for constructing bivariant theories by means of Grothendieck duality is developed. This produces, in particular, a bivariant theory of Hochschild (co)homology on the category of schemes that are flat, separated and essentially…

In this work, we introduce {\em topological representations of a quiver} as a system consisting of topological spaces and its relationships determined by the quiver. Such a setting gives a natural connection between topological…

The paper contains an application of van Kampen theorem for groupoids for computation of homotopy types of certain class of non-compact foliated surfaces obtained by gluing at most countably many strips $\mathbb{R}\times(0,1)$ with boundary…

We compute the Hodge and de Rham cohomology of the classifying space BG (defined as etale cohomology on the algebraic stack BG) for reductive groups G over many fields, including fields of small characteristic. These calculations have a…

This thesis studies the representation theory and linear structures of $\mathcal{Q}$-manifolds and higher Lie algebroids. We introduce differential graded modules (or for short DG-modules) of $\mathcal{Q}$-manifolds and the equivalent…

Given a higher-rank graph $\Lambda$, we investigate the relationship between the cohomology of $\Lambda$ and the cohomology of the associated groupoid $G_\Lambda$. We define an exact functor between the abelian category of right modules…

This work is dedicated to the construction of a new motivic homotopy theory for (log) schemes, generalizing Morel-Voevodsky's (un)stable $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy category. Our framework can be used to represent log topological Hochschild and…

We survey recent work, published since 2015, on equivariant Oka theory. The main results described in the survey are as follows. Homotopy principles for equivariant isomorphisms of Stein manifolds on which a reductive complex Lie group $G$…

Let NG0 denote the category of all pointed numerically generated spaces and continuous maps preserving base-points. In [SYH], we described a passage from bivariant functors to generalized homology and cohomology theories. In this paper, we…
