Consider a smooth affine algebraic variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field, and let a finite group $G$ act on it. We assume that the characteristic of the field is greater than the dimension of $X$ and the order of $G$. An explicit…

Given a compact complex manifold, the purpose of this paper is to construct the Chern character for coherent sheaves with values in Bott-Chern cohomology, and to prove a corresponding Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck formula. Our paper is based on…

In this paper, we show that the cohomology of a general stable bundle on a Hirzebruch surface is determined by the Euler characteristic provided that the first Chern class satisfies necessary intersection conditions. More generally, we…

This paper focuses on the study of a new category of vector bundles. The objects of this category, called chiral vector bundles, are pairs given by a complex vector bundle along with one of its automorphisms. We provide a classification for…

We define and study equivariant periodic cyclic homology for locally compact groups. This can be viewed as a noncommutative generalization of equivariant de Rham cohomology. Although the construction resembles the Cuntz-Quillen approach to…

We calculate the Chern classes and Chern numbers for the natural almost Hermitian structures of the partial flag manifolds F_n=SU(n+2)/S(U(n)\times U(1)\times U(1)). For all n>1 there are two invariant complex algebraic structures, which…

This is a continuation of the preceding paper (hep-ph/0108219). First of all we make a brief review of generalized coherent states based on Lie algebra su(1,1) and prove that the resolution of unity can be obtained by the curvature form of…

Based on the ideas of Cuntz and Quillen, we give a simple construction of cyclic homology of unital algebras in terms of the noncommutative de Rham complex and a certain differential similar to the equivariant de Rham differential. We…

The equivalence of principal bundles with transitive Lie groupoids due to Ehresmann is a well known result. A remarkable generalisation of this equivalence, due to Mackenzie, is the equivalence of principal bundle extensions with those…

We extend the Chern character on K-theory, in its generalization to the Chern-Dold character on generalized cohomology theories, further to (twisted, differential) non-abelian cohomology theories, where its target is a non-abelian de Rham…

We define the characteristic cycle of a constructible sheaf on a smooth surface in the cotangent bundle. We prove that the intersection number with the 0-section equals the Euler number and that the total dimension of vanishing cycles at an…

We introduce the notions of Chern-Dirac bundles and Chern-Dirac operators on Hermitian manifolds. They are analogues of classical Dirac bundles and Dirac operators, with Levi-Civita connection replaced by Chern connection. We then show that…

Structural pattern recognition describes and classifies data based on the relationships of features and parts. Topological invariants, like the Euler number, characterize the structure of objects of any dimension. Cohomology can provide…

We give coordinate formula and geometric description of the curvature of the tensor product connection of linear connections on vector bundles with the same base manifold. We define the covariant differential of geometric fields of certain…

We prove two geometric index theorems for a family of first-order elliptic operators over a manifold with boundary by computing eta form representatives for the Chern character classes of the index bundle. The eta forms occur as relative…

Let G be a simple linear algebraic group defined over the complex numbers. Fix a proper parabolic subgroup P of G and a nontrivial antidominant character \chi of P. We prove that a holomorphic principal G-bundle E over a connected complex…

Given an action of a groupoid by isomorphisms on a Fell bundle (over another groupoid), we form a semidirect-product Fell bundle, and prove that its $C^{*}$-algebra is isomorphic to a crossed product.

Characteristic class relations in Dolbeault cohomology follow from the existence of a holomorphic Cartan geometry (for example, a holomorphic conformal structure or a holomorphic projective connection). These relations can be calculated…

We introduce a Hopf algebroid associated to a proper Lie group action on a smooth manifold. We prove that the cyclic cohomology of this Hopf algebroid is equal to the de Rham cohomology of invariant differential forms. When the action is…

We develop a combinatorial theory of vector bundles with connection on locally ordered simplicial complexes. This is a first step towards a discrete exterior calculus for bundle-valued forms. The basic building block is the discrete…
