In this paper we show that the family of stable vector bundles gives a set of generators for the Chow ring, the K-theory and the derived category of any smooth projective variety.

Let X be a normal projective variety admitting an action of a semisimple group with a unique closed orbit. We construct finitely many rational curves in X, all having a common point, such that every effective one-cycle on X is rationally…

The $R^2 F^{2g-2}$ terms of Type IIA strings on Calabi-Yau 3-folds, which are given by the corresponding topological string amplitudes (a worldsheet instanton sum for all genera), are shown to have a simple M-theory interpretation. In…

We give a local model for d-shifted symplectic dg-schemes, or Deligne-Mumford dg-stacks [PTVV]. Locally any such is a product of a "twisted shifted cotangent bundle", where the twist is given by an element df, with $f \in H^{1-d}(\Cal O)$,…

We prove a closed formula counting semistable twisted (or meromorphic) Higgs bundles of fixed rank and degree over a smooth projective curve of genus g, defined over a finite field, when the degree of the twisting line bundle is at least…

We consider the question of how geometric structures of a Deligne-Mumford stack affect its Gromov-Witten invariants. The two geometric structures studied here are {\em gerbes} and {\em root constructions}. In both cases, we explain…

We compute the double complex of smooth complex-valued differential forms on projective bundles over and blow-ups of compact complex manifolds up to a suitable notion of quasi-isomorphism. This simultaneously yields formulas for 'all'…

We introduce conjectures relating the Chow ring of a smooth Artin stack $\mathcal{X}$ to the Chow groups of its possibly singular good moduli space $X$. In particular, we conjecture the existence of an intersection product on a subgroup of…

This article extends the study of cyclic ramified covers of the projective line defined by Kummer equations. We consider the most general case of such covers, allowing arbitrary orders in the roots of the generating radicant. The primary…

Let X be a smooth projective toric surface, and H^d(X) the Hilbert scheme parametrising the length d zero-dimensional subschemes of X. We compute the rational Chow ring A^*(H^d(X))\_Q. More precisely, if T is the two-dimensional torus…

Given a separated scheme $X$ of finite type over a finite field, its higher Chow groups $CH_{-1}(X, 1)$ and $CH_{-2}(X, 3)$ are computed explicitly.

In this paper, we construct proper pushforwards and flat pullbacks in Chow groups of coherent sheaf stacks over a Deligne-Mumford(DM) stack. When there is a relative semi-perfect obstruction theory for a DM-type morphism $X \to Y$, $X$ is a…

Let X be a smooth quasi-projective variety over the algebraic closure of the rational number field. We show that the cycle map of the higher Chow group to Deligne cohomology is injective and the higher Hodge cycles are generated by the…

Let [X/G] be a smooth Deligne-Mumford quotient stack. In a previous paper the authors constructed a class of exotic products called inertial products on K(I[X/G]), the Grothendieck group of vector bundles on the inertia stack I[X/G]. In…

We construct a smooth algebraic stack of tuples consisting of genus two nodal curves, simple effective divisors away from the nodes, and twisted fields. It provides a desingularization of the moduli of genus two stable maps to projective…

In this paper, we give an explicit construction of higher Chow cycles of type $(2,1)$ on $K3$ surfaces obtained as quadruple coverings of the projective plane ramified along smooth quartics. The construction uses a pair of bitangents of the…

For a gerbe $\Y$ over a smooth proper Deligne-Mumford stack $\B$ banded by a finite group $G$, we prove a structure result on the Gromov-Witten theory of $\Y$, expressing Gromov-Witten invariants of $\Y$ in terms of Gromov-Witten invariants…

For a smooth Deligne-Mumford stack over $\CC$, we define its associated Kodaira-Spencer differential graded Lie algebra and show that the deformation functor of the stack is isomorphic to the deformation functor of the Kodaira-Spencer…

In this paper, we prove a decomposition result for the Chow groups of projectivizations of coherent sheaves of homological dimension $\le 1$. In this process, we establish the decomposition of Chow groups for the cases of Cayley's trick and…

This work investigates the Frobenius morphism on derived categories associated with algebraic stacks in positive characteristic. Particularly, we show that in many cases sufficiently many Frobenius pushforwards of a compact generator…
