This paper begins the study of Morse theory for orbifolds, or more precisely for differentiable Deligne-Mumford stacks. The main result is an analogue of the Morse inequalities that relates the orbifold Betti numbers of an almost-complex…
We investigate the birational geometry of Deligne-Mumford stacks and define new birational invariants in this context.
This paper extends de Rham theory of smooth manifolds to exploded manifolds. Included are versions of Stokes' theorem, De Rham cohomology, Poincare duality, and integration along the fiber. The resulting cohomology theory is used to define…
Let $S$ be a noetherian normal scheme, and let $X\to S$ be a surjective projective morphism of pure relative dimension $d$. We construct a symmetric multi-additive functor $\mathcal{P}\mathrm{ic}(X)^{d+1} \to \mathcal{P}\mathrm{ic}(S)$, and…
We construct Chern-Simons bundles as $\mathrm{Aut}^{+}P$-equivariant $U(1)$ -bundles with connection over the space of connections $\mathcal{A}_{P}$ on a principal $G$-bundle $P\rightarrow M$. We show that the Chern-Simons bundles are…
The $L^2$-cohomology of a locally symmetric variety is known to have the topological interpretation as the intersection homology of its Baily-Borel Satake compactification. In this article, we observe that even without the Hermitian…
We define two different versions of the relative De Rham cohomology groups of a diffeological space. Additionally, we study a variant of the Mayer-Vietoris sequence and discuss the existence of a relative cup product. Our approach is…
Long ago, in math.AG/0112004, we pledged more details on the algebraic version of Chen-Ruan's math.AG/0103156. This is it.
The goal of the memoir is to develop a new cohomology theory which encompasses De Rham and Dolbeault cohomology as well as Deligne Beilinson cohomology, in the context of general complex analytic manifolds. The special case of the Iwasawa…
We introduce a general theory of homological Milnor-Witt cycle modules over an excellent base scheme equipped with a dimension function, extending both Rost's cycle modules and Feld's theory over fields. To any such module we associate a…
We use the mapping cone for the relative deRham cohomology of a manifold with boundary in order to show that the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet Theorem for oriented Riemannian vector bundles over such manifolds is a manifestation of Lefschetz Duality…
This work deals with relations between a bounded cohomological invariant and the geometry of Hermitian symmetric spaces of noncompact type. The invariant, obtained from the K\"ahler class, is used to define and characterize a special class…
Let $\Mg$ denote the moduli space of compact Riemann surfaces of genus $g$. Mumford had proved that, for each fixed genus $g$, there are isomorphisms asserting that certain higher $DET$ bundles over $\Mg$ are certain fixed…
We consider a generalized Riemann-Hurwitz formula as it may be applied to rational maps between projective varieties having an indeterminacy set and fold-like singularities. The case of a holomorphic branched covering map is recalled. Then…
We define bivariant algebraic K-theory and bivariant derived Chow on the homotopy category of derived schemes over a smooth base. The orientation on the latter corresponds to virtual Gysin homomorphisms. We then provide a morphism between…
We construct isomorphisms of the Grothendieck group of a projective space and other groups related to Hilbert polynomials and total Chern classes. This is inspired by a correspondence between Chern and Hilbert polynomials stated in…
Our interest in this paper is a generalization of the additive Deligne-Simpson problem which is originally defined for Fuchsian differential equations on the Riemann sphere. We shall extend this problem to differential equations having an…
On the basis of Brylinski's work, we introduce a notion of equivariant smooth Deligne cohomology group, which is a generalization of both the ordinary smooth Deligne cohomology and the ordinary equivariant cohomology. Using the cohomology…
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…
We have written a computer program that implements Deligne's pullback and pushforward weight spectral sequences to compute the weight graded pieces of the rational cohomology of moduli spaces of pointed smooth curves (as well as curves of…
