In this paper, we prove a generalization of Reznikov's theorem which says that the Chern-Simons classes and in particular the Deligne Chern classes (in degrees $>1$) are torsion, of a flat bundle on a smooth complex projective variety. We…

We discuss conjectures following from the attractor mechanism in type II string theory about the possible Chern classes of stable holomorphic vector bundles on Calabi-Yau threefolds. In particular, we give sufficient conditions for Chern…

Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be a mixed characteristic complete discrete valuation ring with perfect residue field. We study $\mathbb{B}_\mathrm{dR}^+$-crystals on the (log-) prismatic site of $\mathcal{O}_K$, which are crystals defined over the de…

Combinatorial ideas are developed in this article to study Chern numbers on ample and numerically effective vector bundles. An effective lower bound for Chern numbers of ample vector bundles is established, which makes some progress towards…

In this paper we give explicit formulas of differential characteristic classes of principal $G$-bundles with connections and prove their expected properties. In particular, we obtain explicit formulas for differential Chern classes,…

Projective structures on compact real manifolds are classical objects in real differential geometry. Complex manifolds with a holomorphic projective structure on the other hand form a special class as soon as the dimension is greater than…

We describe the equivariant Chow ring of the wonderful compactification $X$ of a symmetric space of minimal rank, via restriction to the associated toric variety $Y$. Also, we show that the restrictions to $Y$ of the tangent bundle $T_X$…

We introduce characteristic classes for the spectral sequence associated to a split short exact sequence of Hopf algebras. We show that these characteristic classes can be seen as obstructions for the vanishing of differentials in the…

When a non-singular complex projective surface $X$ satisfies that $K_X\sim 0$, we shall show that there are only finitely many isomorphic classes as abstract schemes in the set of moduli scheme of $H$-semistable sheaves with fixed Chern…

We introduce in this note the notion of the category of twisted Chow-Witt correspondences $CHW(k)$ over a field $k$ of characteristic different from $2$. Moreover, we show that over an infinite perfect field this category $CHW(k)$ admits a…

We bound the second Chern class of the tangent sheaf of a codimension-one foliation. Equivalently, we bound the degree of the pure codimension-two part of the singular scheme. In particular, for a degree-$d$ foliation on the projective…

We introduce new families of quandles that serve as invariants for classifying closed orientable surfaces. These families generalize the classical Dehn quandle and are defined, respectively, on isotopy classes of unoriented closed curves…

We exhibit the Chern-Simons forms of some characteristic classes in the simplicial de Rham complex.

Given a suitable Noetherian scheme, we classify tensor $t$-structures on the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves and its variants with prescribed support. Furthermore, we show that the existence of such $t$-structures restricting…

First we make a brief review of coherent states and prove that the resolution of unity can be obtained by the 1-st Chern character of some bundle. Next we define a Grassmann manifold for a set of coherent states and construct the pull-back…

Newstead and Ramanan conjectured the vanishing of the top (2g-1) Chern classes of the moduli space of stable, odd degree vector bundles of rank 2 on a Riemann surface of genus g. This was proved by Gieseker [G], while an analogue in rank 3…

We examine the class of compact Hermitian manifolds with constant holomorphic sectional curvature. Such manifolds are conjectured to be K\"ahler (hence a complex space form) when the constant is non-zero and Chern flat (hence a quotient of…

We show that Chern-Weil theory for tensor bundles over manifolds is a consequence of the existence of natural closed differential forms on total spaces of torsion free connections on frame bundles.

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…

By analogy with the classical (Chasles-Schubert-Semple-Tyrell) spaces of complete quadrics and complete collineations, we introduce the variety of complete complexes. Its points can be seen as equivalence classes of spectral sequences of a…
