Shape theory works nice for (Hausdorff) paracompact spaces, but for spaces with no separation axioms, it seems to be quite poor. However, for finite and locally finite spaces their weak homotopy type is rather rich, and is equivalent to the…

In this paper, we formulate a procedure to obtain a generalization of Milnor frames for left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metrics on a given Lie group. This procedure is an analogue of the recent studies on left-invariant Riemannian metrics,…

In this paper, we successfully set up a generalized sphere theorem for compact Riemannian manifolds with radial Ricci curvature bounded.

For each positive rational number $\epsilon$, we define $K$-theoretic $\epsilon$-stable quasimaps to certain GIT quotients $W\sslash G$. For $\epsilon>1$, this recovers the $K$-theoretic Gromov-Witten theory of $W\sslash G$ introduced in…

Let G be a compact Lie group. Let M be a smooth G-manifold and V --> M be an oriented G-equivariant vector bundle. One defines the spaces of equivariant forms with generalized coefficients on V and M. An equivariant Thom form $\theta$ on V…

Let a torus $T$ act smoothly on a compact smooth manifold $M$. If the rational equivariant cohomology $H^*_T(M)$ is a free $H^*_T(pt)$-module, then according to the Chang-Skjelbred Lemma, it can be determined by the $1$-skeleton consisting…

In arXiv:2404.19088, we initiated a program linking birational invariants with smooth ones and offering new interpretations of classical invariants, such as the Kervaire-Milnor invariants. Here, we rely on the profound geometric reasoning…

The group of diffeomorphisms commuting with an elliptic operator on a manifold is a compact Lie group under Compact-Open topology. In foliation theory, pseudogroup is introduced by Sacksteder. The pseudogroup of local transformations…

We generalize the asymptotic shape theorem in first passage percolation on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ to cover the case of general semimetrics. We prove a structure theorem for equivariant semimetrics on topological groups and an extended version of…

In this paper, we aim to establish a new shape theory, compact Hausdorff shape (CH-shape) for general Hausdorff spaces. We use the "internal" method and direct system approach on the homotopy category of compact Hausdorff spaces. Such a…

In this article, we introduce an interesting topology-like concept concerning groups (and with almost the same method it can be defined for other algebraic systems). Given an arbitrary group $G$, we define a {\em topo-system} on $G$ as a…

The paper contains a talk given by the author at the Banach Center in Spring 1995. It recapitulates author's approach to construction of topological invariants of the Reshetikhin-Turaev-Witten type of 3- and 4-dimensional manifolds in the…

An approach to Schubert calculus is to realize Schubert classes as concrete combinatorial objects such as Schubert polynomials. Using the polytope ring of the Gelfand-Tsetlin polytopes, Kiritchenko-Smirnov-Timorin realized each Schubert…

In this paper we study a natural decomposition of $G$-equivariant $K$-theory of a proper $G$-space, when $G$ is a Lie group with a compact normal subgroup $A$ acting trivially. Our decomposition could be understood as a generalization of…

Motivated by Felix Klein's notion that geometry is governed by its group of symmetry transformations, Charles Ehresmann initiated the study of geometric structures on topological spaces locally modeled on a homogeneous space of a Lie group.…

We consider the equivariant Yamabe problem, i.e. the Yamabe problem on the space of G-invariant metrics for a compact Lie group G. The G-Yamabe invariant is analogously defined as the supremum of the constant scalar curvatures of unit…

Let G be a finite group and let M be a G-manifold. We introduce the concept of generalized orbifold invariants of M/G associated to an arbitrary group Gamma, an arbitrary Gamma-set, and an arbitrary covering space of a connected manifold…

In this paper we give a geometric construction of the Borel equivariant (co)homology for spaces with a $G$-action, where $G$ is a compact Lie group with the property that the adjoint representation is orientable. A nice feature of these…

Non-Euclidean method of the generalized geometry construction is considered. According to this approach any generalized geometry is obtained as a result of deformation of the proper Euclidean geometry. The method may be applied for…

We show an equivariant bordism principle for constructing metrics of positive scalar curvature that are invariant under a given group action. Furthermore, we develop a new codimension-2 surgery technique which removes singular strata from…
