We obtain a precise relation between the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a subvariety of projective space and the Euler characteristics of its general linear sections. In the case of a hypersurface, this leads to simple proofs of…

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 derive (quasi-)quantum groups in 2+1 dimensional topological field theory directly from the classical action and the path integral. Detailed computations are carried out for the Chern-Simons theory with finite gauge group. The principles…

The zero modes of the monodromy extended SU(2) WZNW model give rise to a gauge theory with a finite dimensional state space. A generalized BRS operator $A$ such that $A^h=0 (h=k+2=3,4,...$ being the height of the current algebra…

We present a geometric approach, in the spirit of the Chern-Weil theory, for constructing cocycles representing the classes of the Hopf cyclic cohomology of the Hopf algebra H(n) relative to GL(n, R). This provides an explicit description…

Let M be the total space of a negative line bundle over a closed symplectic manifold. We prove that the quotient of quantum cohomology by the kernel of a power of quantum cup product by the first Chern class of the line bundle is isomorphic…

We prove that any geometrically connected curve $X$ over a field $k$ is an algebraic $K(\pi,1)$, as soon as its geometric irreducible components have nonzero genus. This means that the cohomology of any locally constant constructible…

We associate an square to any two dimensional evolution algebra. This geometric object is uniquely determined, does not depend on the basis and describes the structure and the behaviour of the algebra. We determine the identities of degrees…

We construct an isomorphism between the (universal) spherical Hall algebra of a smooth projective curve of genus g and a convolution algebra in the (equivariant) K-theory of the genus g commuting varieties C_{{gl}_r}={(x_i, y_i) \in…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective real algebraic variety. We give new positive and negative results on the problem of approximating a submanifold of the real locus of $X$ by real loci of subvarieties of $X$, as well as on the problem of…

New relations among the genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of a complex projective manifold $X$ are exhibited. When the cohomology of $X$ is generated by divisor classes and classes ``with vanishing one-point invariants,'' the relations…

Let G be a linear algebraic group, not necessarily connected or reductive, over the field of real numbers R. We describe a method, implemented on computer, to find the first Galois cohomology set H^1(R,G). The output is a list of 1-cocycles…

Vertex algebras (and their modules) can be described as vector spaces together with a linear operator-valued series in one parameter $z$. With the interpretation of $z$ as a coordinate at a point on a curve, one can construct algebraic…

Let Y be a complex algebraic curve and let [Y]={X_1,...,X_n} be the set of all real algebraic curves X_i with complexification X_i(C)=Y, such that the real points X_i(R) divide X_i(C). We find all such families [Y]. According to Harnak…
