The goal of this paper is to construct universal cohomology classes on the moduli space of stable bundles over a curve when it is not a fine moduli space, i.e. when the rank and degree are not coprime. More precisely, we show that certain…

For a discrete group $\Gamma$, we study vector bundles $E_\rho$ on compact subsets of $B\Gamma$ associated to almost representations $\rho:\Gamma \to U(n)$. We compute the first Chern class of $E_\rho$ in terms of $\rho$. When $\rho$ is…

For certain subrings of the mod-p cohomology ring of a compact Lie group, we give a description of the prime ideal spectrum, analogous to Quillen's description of the spectrum of the whole ring. Examples of such subrings include the Chern…

We give a survey of cyclic homology/cohomology theory including a detailed discussion of cyclic theories for various classes of topological algebras. We show how to associate cyclic classes with Fredholm modules and $K$-theory classes and…

We show that the universal odd Chern form, defined on the stable unitary group $U$, extends to the loop group $LU$ in a way that is closed with respect to an equivariant-type differential. This provides an odd analogue to the Bismut-Chern…

We generalize the completion theorem for equivariant MU-module spectra for finite groups or finite extensions of a torus to compact Lie groups using the splitting of global functors proved by Schwede. This proves a conjecture of Greenlees…

We construct a model of differential K-theory, using the geometrically defined Chern forms, whose cocycles are certain equivalence classes of maps into the Grassmannians and unitary groups. In particular, we produce the circle-integration…

We give minimal presentations for the $RO(C_2)$-graded Bredon cohomology of the equivariant classifying spaces $B_{C_2}U(n), B_{C_2}SO(n)$ and $B_{C_2}Sp(n)$ with coefficients in the rational Burnside Green functor $A_{\mathbf Q}$. This…

Given a smooth action of a Lie group on a manifold, we give two constructions of the Chern character of an equivariant vector bundle in the cyclic cohomology of the crossed product algebra. The first construction associates a cycle to the…

For a complex variety with a torus action we propose a new method of computing Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes. The method does not apply resolution of singularities. It is based on Localization Theorem in equivariant cohomology.

For an orbifold X and $\alpha \in H^3(X, Z)$, we introduce the twisted cohomology $H^*_c(X, \alpha)$ and prove that the Connes-Chern character establishes an isomorphism between the twisted K-groups $K_\alpha^* (X) \otimes C$ and twisted…

In this paper, we construct Chern classes from the relative $K$-theory of modulus pairs to the relative motivic cohomology defined by Binda-Saito. An application to relative motivic cohomology of henselian dvr is given.

In "Chern classes for coherent sheaves", H.I. Green constructs Chern classes in de Rham cohomology of coherent analytic sheaves. We construct here a formal $(\infty,1)$-categorical framework into which we can place Green's work and…

We study the existence of $S^1$-equivariant characteristic classes on certain natural infinite rank bundles over the loop space $LM$ of a manifold $M$. We discuss the different $S^1$-equivariant cohomology theories in the literature and…

For a possibly singular complex variety $X$, generating functions of total "orbifold Chern homology classes" of symmetric products $S^nX$ are given. Those are very natural "Chern class versions" (in the sense of Schwartz-MacPherson) of…
