In classical field theory, the composite fibred manifolds Y -> Z -> X provides the adequate mathematical formulation of gauge models with broken symmetries, e.g., the gauge gravitation theory. This work is devoted to connections on…

We study the Hitchin component in the space of representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface into a split real simple Lie group in the rank 2 case. We prove that such representations are described by a conformal structure…

When two smooth manifold bundles over the same base are fiberwise tangentially homeomorphic, the difference is measured by a homology class in the total space of the bundle. We call this the relative smooth structure class. Rationally and…

We study some graded geometric constructions appearing naturally in the context of gauge theories. Inspired by a known relation of gauging with equivariant cohomology we generalize the latter notion to the case of arbitrary Q-manifolds…

Let G be a compact Lie group. We build a tower of G-spectra over the suspension spectrum of the space of linear isometries from one G-representation to another. The stable cofibres of the maps running down the tower are certain interesting…

We dualize previous work on generalized persistence diagrams for filtrations to cofiltrations. When the underlying space is a manifold, we express this duality as a Poincar\'e duality between their generalized persistence diagrams. A heavy…

We recast basic topological concepts underlying differential geometry using the language and tools of noncommutative geometry. This way we characterize principal (free and proper) actions by a density condition in (multiplier) C*-algebras.…

For a conformally compact Poincar\'{e}-Einstein manifold $(X,g_+)$, we consider two types of compactifications for it. One is $\bar{g}=\rho^2g_+$, where $\rho$ is a fixed smooth defining function; the other is the adapted (including…

We prove the Batyrev-Manin conjecture for smooth equivariant compactifications of forms of $\mathbb{G}_a^n$ over a global function field $F$, assuming some conditions on the boundary divisor. To verify that the leading constant agrees with…

In this paper, we show that the motive of the quaternionic Grassmannian $HP^n$ (as defined by I. Panin and C. Walter) splits in the category of effective MW-motives (as defined by B. Calm\`es, F. D\'eglise and J. Fasel). Moreover, we extend…

Using the higher covariant derivative on a manifold $ M $ equipped with a torsion-free connection, we define a natural surjective bundle map $ \Phi $ from $ (\otimes(TM))\otimes (\wedge(TM)) $ to the vector bundle $ \mathcal{U}(M) $ of de…

Given an oriented immersed hypersurface in hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$, its Gauss map is defined with values in the space of oriented geodesics of $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$, which is endowed with a natural para-K\"ahler structure. In this…

Building upon work of Y. Shalom we give a homological-algebra flavored definition of an induction map in group homology associated to a topological coupling. As an application we obtain estimates of the (co)homological dimension of groups G…

In this paper, we use characteristic classes of the canonical vector bundles and the Poincar\' {e} dualality to study the structure of the real homology and cohomology groups of oriented Grassmann manifold $G(k, n)$. Show that for $k=2$ or…

Let $E\to B$ be a complex analytic fiber bundle with fiber $F$, a flag variety over a compact complex manifold $B$. We shall obtain a description of the cohomology of $E$ when $B=X_\Gamma:=\Gamma\backslash X, E=Y_\Gamma:=\Gamma\backslash Y$…

On a projective complex manifold, the Abelian group of Divisors maps surjectively onto that of holomorphic line bundles (the Picard group). On a $G_2$-manifold we use coassociative submanifolds to define an analogue of the first, and a…

We consider the moduli space of stable principal G-bundles over a compact Riemann surface C of genus >1, with G a reductive algebraic group. We explicitly construct a map F from the generic fibre of the Hitchin map to a generalized Prym…

Let $X$ be a CR manifold with transversal, proper CR $G$-action. We show that $X/G$ is a complex space such that the quotient map is a CR map. Moreover the quotient is universal, i.e. every invariant CR map into a complex manifold…

Given a selfmap $f:X\to X$ on a compact connected polyhedron $X$, H. Schirmer gave necessary and sufficient conditions for a nonempty closed subset $A$ to be the fixed point set of a map in the homotopy class of $f$. R. Brown and C.…

A manifold $M^n$ inherits a labeled $n$-dimensional graph $\widetilde{M}[G^L]$ structure consisting of its charts. This structure enables one to characterize fundamental groups of manifolds, classify those of locally compact manifolds with…
