In this expository article we give a categorical definition of the integral cohomology ring of a stack. We show that for quotient stacks the categorical cohomology may be identified with equivariant cohomology. Via this identification we…
This is partly a survey article on nonabelian Hodge theory, but we also give proofs of results that have only been announced elsewhere. In the introduction we discuss a wide range of recent work on this subject and give some references. In…
We compute the connected components of arbitrary parahoric level affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties and local Shimura varieties, thus resolving a folklore conjecture in full generality (even for non-quasisplit groups). We achieve this by…
Let $a_X:X\rightarrow \mathrm{Alb}\, X$ be the Albanese map of a smooth complex projective variety. Roughly speaking in this note we prove that for all $i \geq 0$ and $\alpha\in \mathrm{Pic}^0\, X$, the cohomology ranks $h^i(\mathrm{Alb}\,…
The aim of this paper is to study the behavior of Hodge-theoretic (intersection homology) genera and their associated characteristic classes under proper morphisms of complex algebraic varieties. We obtain formulae that relate (parametrized…
We define and construct the real analytic moduli stack of pluriharmonic bundles on a compact Kaehler manifold X, and show how this is equipped with Hodge and quaternionic structures. This stack maps to the de Rham moduli stack, giving rise…
We introduce Deligne cohomology that classifies U(1) fibre bundles over 3-manifolds endowed with connections. We show how the structure of Deligne cohomology classes provides a way to perform exact (non-perturbative) computations in U(1)…
We define log Hochschild co/homology for log schemes that behaves well for simple normal crossing pairs $(X,D)$ or toroidal singularities. We prove a Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg isomorphism for log smooth schemes, as well as an equivariant…
We develop a Hodge theory for relative simple normal crossing varieties over an Artinian base scheme. We introduce the notion of a mixed Hodge structure over an Artin ring, which axiomatizes the structure that is found on the cohomology of…
We use the stacky approach to $p$-adic cohomology theories recently developed by Drinfeld and Bhatt--Lurie to generalise known comparison theorems in $p$-adic Hodge theory so as to accommodate coefficients. More precisely, we establish a…
Based on the duality between open-string theory on noncompact Calabi-Yau threefolds and Chern-Simons theory on three manifolds, M Marino and C Vafa conjectured a formula of one-partition Hodge integrals in term of invariants of the unknot…
Let $X$ be a projective manifold. Let $Y_1,...,Y_{p+1}$ be $p+1$ ample hypersurfaces in complete intersection position on $X$, each defined by the global section of an ample Cartier divisor. We show in this note that for $i\le p+1$, the…
We study the connection between stringy Betti numbers of Gorenstein toric varieties and the generating functions of the Ehrhart polynomials of certain polyhedral regions. We use this point of view to give counterexamples to Hibi's…
We investigate aspects of certain stringy invariants of singular elliptic fibrations which arise in engineering Grand Unified Theories in F-theory. In particular, we exploit the small resolutions of the total space of these fibrations…
String theory has already motivated, suggested, and sometimes well-nigh proved a number of interesting and sometimes unexpected mathematical results, such as mirror symmetry. A careful examination of the behavior of string propagation on…
Let $G$ be a smooth connected reductive group over a field $k$ and $\Gamma$ be a central subgroup of $G$. We construct Eilenberg-Moore-type spectral sequences converging to the Hodge and de Rham cohomology of $B(G/\Gamma)$. As an…
In this article we study the cohomological and homological (due to Jannsen) Hodge conjecture for singular varieties. The motivation for studying singular varieties comes from the fact that any smooth projective variety X is birational to a…
In this article, we develop a theory of Grothendieck's six operations for derived categories in \'etale cohomology of Artin stacks, for both torsion and adic coefficients. We prove several desired properties of the operations, including the…
It is known that the Picard group of a complex manifold can be expressed as a Deligne cohomology group. One may wonder if the same holds for the Picard group of a smooth algebraic variety and Deligne-Beilinson cohomology but this is not…
Let $A$, $B$ be C*-algebras; $A$ separable, $B$ $\sigma$-unital and stable. We introduce a notion of translation invariance for asymptotic homomorphisms from $SA=C_0(\mathbb R)\otimes A$ to $B$ and show that the Connes-Higson construction…
