In analogy to the concept of a non-metric dual connection, which is essential in defining statistical manifolds, we develop that of a torsion dual connection. Consequently, we illustrate the geometrical meaning of such a torsion dual…
A vanishing theorem for uniformly RC $k$-positive Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles is established. It turns out that the holomorphic tangent bundle of a compact complex manifold equipped with a positive $k$-Ricci curvature K\"{a}hler…
The present paper is the first in a series of papers, in which we shall construct modular functors and Topological Quantum Field Theories from the conformal field theory developed in [TUY]. The basic idea is that the covariant constant…
In a minimalistic view, the use of noncommutative coordinates can be seen just as a way to better express non-local interactions of a special kind: 1-particle solutions (wavefunctions) of the equation of motion in the presence of an…
In this paper we study the variability and rigidity of secondary characteristic classes which arise from flat connections on a manifold. Considering the connection as a Lie-algebra valued one-form, we study the characteristic map from Lie…
Let T be a torus. We show that Koszul duality can be used to compute the equivariant cohomology of topological T-spaces as well as the cohomology of pull backs of the universal T-bundle. The new features are that no further assumptions…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, and let $A = k[x,y]/(f)$ be a quasi-homogeneous plane curve. We show that for any graded torsion free A-module M, there exists a natural graded integrable connection, i.e. a graded…
We reproduce the quantum cohomology of toric varieties (and of some hypersurfaces in projective spaces) as the cohomology of certain vertex algebras with differential. The deformation technique allows us to compute the cohomology of the…
Our main objective is to demonstrate how homological perturbation theory (HPT) results over the last 40 years immediately or with little extra work give some of the Koszul duality results that have appeared in the last decade. Higher…
On a threefold with trivial canonical bundle, Kuranishi theory gives an algebro-geometry construction of the (local analytic) Hilbert scheme of curves at a smooth holomorphic curve as a gradient scheme, that is, the zero-scheme of the…
In the present paper we generalize the construction of the nil Hecke ring of Kostant-Kumar to the context of an arbitrary algebraic oriented cohomology theory of Levine-Morel and Panin-Smirnov, e.g. to Chow groups, Grothendieck's K_0,…
We continue our systematic development of noncommutative and nonassociative differential geometry internal to the representation category of a quasitriangular quasi-Hopf algebra. We describe derivations, differential operators, differential…
Noncommutative K\"ahler structures were recently introduced by the second author as a framework for studying noncommutative K\"ahler geometry on quantum homogeneous spaces. It was subsequently observed that the notion of a positive vector…
The connective ku-(co)homology of elementary abelian 2-groups is determined as a functor of the elementary abelian 2-group. The argument requires only the calculation of the rank one case and the Atiyah-Segal theorem for KU-cohomology…
Let $M$ be a closed manifold and $\alpha : \pi_1(M)\to U_n$ a representation. We give a purely $K$-theoretic description of the associated element $[\alpha]$ in the $K$-theory of $M$ with $\R/\Z$-coefficients. To that end, it is convenient…
The first author's recent unexpected discovery of torsion in the integral cohomology of the T\"ubingen Triangle Tiling has led to a re-evaluation of current descriptions of and calculational methods for the topological invariants associated…
We define a complex whose cohomology group of order 1 contains the infinitesimal deformations of a Levi flat structure on a smooth manifold. In the case of real analytic Levi flat structures, this cohomology group is the product of the…
The cohomology groups of line bundles over complex tori (or abelian varieties) are classically studied invariants of these spaces. In this article, we compute the cohomology groups of line bundles over various holomorphic, non-commutative…
We motivate and study the reduced Koszul map, relating the invariant bilinear maps on a Lie algebra and the third homology. We show that it is concentrated in degree 0 for any grading in a torsion-free abelian group, and in particular it…
The class of quantum affinizations includes quantum affine algebras and quantum toroidal algebras. In general they have no Hopf algebra structure, but have a "coproduct" (the Drinfeld coproduct) which does not produce tensor products of…
