Given a flexible $n$-gon with generic side lengths, the moduli space of its configurations in $\mathbb{R}^2$ as well as in $\mathbb{R}^3$ is a smooth manifold. It is equipped with $n$ \textit{tautological} line bundles whose definition is…
We prove the multiplicative property of localized Chern characters. As a direct consequence, a localized Chern character gives rise to a ring homomorphism from the K-group of periodic complexes to the bivariant Chow cohomology group. As an…
Here we calculate the Chern classes of ${\bar {\mathcal M}}_{g,n}$, the moduli stack of stable n-pointed curves. In particular, we prove that such classes lie in the tautological ring.
The mod-p cohomology ring of the extraspecial p-group of exponent p is studied for odd p. We investigate the subquotient ch(G) generated by Chern classes modulo the nilradical. The subring of ch(G) generated by Chern classes of…
We construct the algebraic cobordism theory of bundles and divisors on smooth varieties. It has a simple basis (over Q) from projective spaces and its rank is equal to the number of Chern invariants. As an application we study the number of…
We construct Euler and Stiefel-Whitney classes of vector bundles with quadratic form by analyzing the intersection theory of the associated quadric bundles. We also compute the Chow rings of quadric and isotropic flag bundles. Along the…
We calculate the equivariant motivic Chern class for configuration space of a quasiprojective (maybe singular) variety and the space of vectors with different directions. We prove the formulas for generating series of these classes. We…
The Chern-Dold character of a cohomology theory E is a canonical transformation $E\rightarrow HV$ to ordinary cohomology. A spectrum representing E gives homotopy theoretic cocycles for E, while HV can be represented by singular cocycles.…
We view the space of cotraces in the structural coalgebra of a principal coaction as a noncommutative counterpart of the classical Cartan model. Then we define the cyclic-homology Chern-Weil homomorphism by extending the Chern-Galois…
In the cohomology ring of an extraspecial p-group, the subring generated by Chern classes and transfers is studied. This subring is strictly larger than the Chern subring, but still not the whole cohomology ring, even modulo nilradical. A…
Given a topological modular functor $\mathcal{V}$ in the sense of Walker \cite{Walker}, we construct vector bundles over $\bar{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n}$, whose Chern classes define semi-simple cohomological field theories. This construction…
Let [X/G] be a smooth Deligne-Mumford quotient stack. In a previous paper the authors constructed a class of exotic products called inertial products on K(I[X/G]), the Grothendieck group of vector bundles on the inertia stack I[X/G]. In…
The theory of principal $G$-bundles over a Lie groupoid is an important one, unifying the various types of principal $G$-bundles, including those over manifolds, those over orbifolds, as well as equivariant principal $G$-bundles. In this…
We construct for an equivariant cohomology theory for proper equivariant CW-complexes an equivariant Chern character, provided that certain conditions about the coefficients are satisfied. These conditions are fulfilled if the coefficients…
A formula for the first Chern class of the Verlinde bundle over the moduli space of smooth genus g curves is given. A finite-dimensional argument is presented in rank 2 using geometric symmetries obtained from strange duality, relative…
Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. Assuming rational injectivity of the Baum-Connes assembly map, we provide new lower bounds on the rank of the positive scalar curvature bordism group and the relative group in Stolz' positive scalar…
We define Chern and Segre forms, or rather currents, associated with a Griffiths positive singular hermitian metric $h$ with analytic singularities on a holomorphic vector bundle $E$. The currents are constructed as pushforwards of…
The goal of this work is to construct integral Chern classes and higher cycle classes for a smooth variety over a perfect field of characteristic p>0 that are compatible with the rigid Chern classes defined by Petrequin. The Chern classes…
Motivic integration and MacPherson's transformation are combined in this paper to construct a theory of "stringy" Chern classes for singular varieties. These classes enjoy strong birational invariance properties, and their definition…
We develop a general procedure, based on the renormalized eta-cochain, which allows to find local representatives of the bivariant Chern character of finitely summable quasihomomorphisms. In particular, using zeta-function renormalization…
