For an orbifold X and $\alpha \in H^3(X, Z)$, we introduce the twisted cohomology $H^*_c(X, \alpha)$ and prove that the Connes-Chern character establishes an isomorphism between the twisted K-groups $K_\alpha^* (X) \otimes C$ and twisted…

Motivic integration and MacPherson's transformation are combined in this paper to construct a theory of "stringy" Chern classes for singular varieties. These classes enjoy strong birational invariance properties, and their definition…

We replace a ring with a small $\mathbb C$-linear category $\mathcal{C}$, seen as a ring with several objects in the sense of Mitchell. We introduce Fredholm modules over this category and construct a Chern character taking values in the…

In 1954 Hirzebruch asked which linear combinations of Chern numbers are topological invariants of smooth complex projective varieties. We give a complete answer to this question in small dimensions, and also prove partial results without…

In this paper we construct a bivariant Chern character defined on ``families of spectral triples''. Such families should be viewed as a version of unbounded Kasparov bimodules adapted to the category of bornological algebras. The Chern…

Classically the Chern-classes of a locally free coherent A-module W are defined using the curvature of a connection. If we more generally consider the problem of defining Chern-classes where W is a coherent A-module, a connection might not…

We prove a general local rigidity theorem for pull-backs of homogeneous forms on reductive symmetric spaces under representations of discrete groups. One application of the theorem is that the volume of a closed manifold locally modelled on…

Since Chern and Grothendieck, Chern's characteristic class theory has made significant progress. In particular with regard to the classes of singular varieties. Conjectured by Grothendieck and Deligne and demonstrated by MacPherson, Chern…

In the cohomology ring of an extraspecial p-group, the subring generated by Chern classes and transfers is studied. This subring is strictly larger than the Chern subring, but still not the whole cohomology ring, even modulo nilradical. A…

Notes for some talks given at the seminar on characteristic classes at NTNU in autumn 2006. In the paper a proof of the existence of a Chern-character from complex K-theory to any cohomology theory with values in graded Q-algebras is given.…

We study non-additive operations from algebraic Morava K-theories to oriented cohomology theories in algebraic geometry. For oriented cohomology theory $A$ that has a {$p^n$}-typical formal group law over a $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$-algebra we…

We introduce a notion of `proChow group' of varieties, agreeing with the notion of Chow group for complete varieties and covariantly functorial with respect to arbitrary morphisms. We construct a natural transformation from the functor of…

We prove some perversity bounds for the Chern classes of a compactified Jacobian fibration, namely the $k$-th Chern class of the compactified Jacobian has perversity $\leq k$. Our results are motivic in nature, and we also prove a…

Representations of certain vertex algebras, here called of CohFT-type, can be used to construct vector bundles of coinvariants and conformal blocks on moduli spaces of stable curves [DGT2]. We show that such bundles define semisimple…

Given a parabolic vector bundle, we construct for it a projectivization and tautological line bundle. These are analogs of the projectivization and tautological line bundle for an usual vector bundle. Using these we give a construction of…

For open and singular varieties in positive characteristic p we study the existence of an integral p-adic cohomology theory which is finitely generated, compatible with log crystalline cohomology and rationally compatible with rigid…

For a discrete group $\Gamma$, we study vector bundles $E_\rho$ on compact subsets of $B\Gamma$ associated to almost representations $\rho:\Gamma \to U(n)$. We compute the first Chern class of $E_\rho$ in terms of $\rho$. When $\rho$ is…

We prove a simple formula for MacPherson's Chern class of hypersurfaces in nonsingular varieties. The result highlights the relation between MacPherson's class and other definitions of homology Chern classes of singular varieties, such as…

We prove explicit formulas for Chern classes of tensor products of vector bundles, with coefficients given by certain universal polynomials in the ranks of the two bundles.

In this paper, we give a combinatorial formula for the \v{C}ech cocycles representing the power sums of the Chern roots of a holomorphic vector bundle over a complex manifold. By an observation motivation by author's previous paper, we also…
