The method of intersection spaces associates rational Poincar\'e complexes to singular stratified spaces. For a conifold transition, the resulting cohomology theory yields the correct count of all present massless 3-branes in type IIB…

In this paper, We develop the stratified de Rham theory on singular spaces using modern tools including derived geometry and stratified structures. This work unifies and extends the de Rham theory, Hodge theory, and deformation theory of…

We construct a lattice cohomology ${\mathbb H}^*(C,o)=\oplus_{q\geq 0}{\mathbb H}^q(C,o)$ and a graded root ${\mathfrak R}(C,o)$ to any complex isolated curve singularity $(C,o)$. Each ${\mathbb H}^q(C,o)$ is a ${\mathbb Z}$-graded…

Let X be an affine spherical variety, possibly singular, and $L^+X$ its arc space. The intersection complex of $L^+X$, or rather of its finite-dimensional formal models, is conjectured to be related to special values of local unramified…

L-modules are a combinatorial analogue of constructible sheaves on the reductive Borel-Serre compactification of a locally symmetric space. We define the micro-support of an L-module; it is a set of irreducible modules for the Levi…

We compute the local intersection cohomology of the irreducible components of varieties of complexes, by using Lusztig's geometric approach to quantum groups and explicit constructions of elements of Lusztig's canonical bases.

Motivated by a question of Hansen and Li, we show that a smooth and proper rigid analytic space $X$ with projective reduction satisfies Hodge symmetry in the following situations: (1) the base non-archimedean field $K$ is of residue…

There exist several homology theories for singular spaces that satisfy generalized Poincar\'e duality, including Goresky-MacPherson's intersection homology, Cheeger's $L^2$ cohomology and the homology of intersection spaces. The…

Let Y be a normal crossing divisor in the smooth projective algebraic variety X (defined over ${\mathbb C}$) and let U be a tubular neighbourhood of Y in X. We construct homological cycles generating $H_*(A,B)$, where (A,B) is one of the…

We consider Picard surfaces, locally symmetric varieties $S_{\Gamma}$ attached to the Lie group SU(2,1), and we construct explicit differential forms on $S_{\Gamma}$ representing Eisenstein classes, i.e. cohomology classes restricting…

We study a variety of questions centered around the computation of cohomology of line bundles on the incidence correspondence (the partial flag variety parametrizing pairs consisting of a point in projective space and a hyperplane…

The isometry class of the intersection form of a compact complex surface can be easily determined from complex-analytic invariants. For projective surfaces the primitive lattice is another naturally occurring lattice. The goal of this note…

In this paper we examine different problems regarding complete intersection varieties of high degree in a complex projective space. First we show how one can deduce hyperbolicity for generic complete intersection of high multidegree and…

Let $B$ denote the upper triangular subgroup of $SL_2(C)$, $T$ its diagonal torus and $U$ its unipotent radical. A complex projective variety $Y$ endowed with an algebraic action of $B$ such that the fixed point set $Y^U$ is a single point,…

In this paper we study some new theories of characteristic homology classes for singular complex algebraic varieties. First we introduce a natural transformation T_{y}: K_{0}(var/X) -> H_{*}(X,Q)[y] commuting with proper pushdown, which…

In this thesis we talk about lipschitz-homotopy invariants for manifolds of bounded geometry. There are three main results: the first one is the definition of a controvariant functor between the category of manifolds of bounded geometry…

Consider a smooth projective curve and a given embedding into projective space via a sufficiently positive line bundle. We can form the secant variety of $k$-planes through the curve. These are singular varieties, with each secant variety…

In this paper we give a new and simplified proof of the variational Hodge conjecture for complete intersection cycles on a hypersurface in projective space.

We prove a general inequality for estimating the number of points of arbitrary complete intersections over a finite field. This extends a result of Deligne for nonsingular complete intersections. For normal complete intersections, this…

In an earlier paper we conjectured a relation between the quantum $\mathcal D$-modules of a smooth variety $X$ and the projectivisation of a direct sum of line bundles over it. In this paper we prove the conjecture when $X$ is a complete…
