In this paper we show that the transverse image of the momentum map of a Hamiltonian Lie group action admits a natural integral affine stratification with the property that over each stratum the momentum map is an equivariantly locally…

An old theorem of Weil and Kodaira says that for a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ there is a closed logarithmic $1$-form with residue divisor $D$ if and only if $D$ is homologous to zero in $H_{2n-2}(X,\mathbb C)$. In the first part of this…

Consider the Hamiltonian action of a torus on a compact twisted generalized complex manifold $M$. We first observe that Kirwan injectivity and surjectivity hold for ordinary equivariant cohomology in this setting. Then we prove that these…

Let $M$ be a proper Hamiltonian $K$-space with proper moment map $\mu$. The symplectic quotient $X=\mu^{-1}(0)/K$ is in general a singular stratified space. In this paper we first generalize the Kirwan map to this symplectic setting which…

For a smooth map between noetherian schemes, Verdier relates the top relative differentials of the map with the twisted inverse image functor `upper shriek'. We show that the associated traces for smooth proper maps can be rendered concrete…

Hilbertian kernel methods and their positive semidefinite kernels have been extensively used in various fields of applied mathematics and machine learning, owing to their several equivalent characterizations. We here unveil an analogy with…

Consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group on a compact symplectic manifold. A theorem of Kirwan's says that the image of the momentum mapping intersects the positive Weyl chamber in a convex polytope. I present a new proof of…

Let $M$ be a compact, connected symplectic manifold with a Hamiltonian action of a compact $n$-dimensional torus $T$. Suppose that $M$ is equipped with an anti-symplectic involution $\sigma$ compatible with the $T$-action. The real locus of…

Biinvariant diagonal classes give rise to right inverses of the Kirwan map. By means of multivalued perturbations of the gradient flow equation such classes are constructed explicitly for $S^1$-Hamiltonian spaces. Moreover, the notion of…

For algebraic varieties defined by hyperkahler or, more generally, algebraic symplectic reduction, it is a long-standing question whether the "hyperkahler Kirwan map" on cohomology is surjective. We resolve this question in the affirmative…

We announce the following result and give several applications: A Hamiltonian $T$-space (for $T$ a torus) with isolated fixed points is cobordant to a disjoint union of weighted projective spaces which are constructed from its fixed point…

Let X be a noetherian scheme of finite Krull dimension, having 2 invertible in its ring of regular functions, an ample family of line bundles, and a global bound on the virtual mod-2 cohomological dimensions of its residue fields. We prove…

Consider the Hamiltonian action of a torus on a transversely symplectic foliation that is also Riemannian. When the transverse hard Lefschetz property is satisfied, we establish a foliated version of the Kirwan injectivity theorem, and use…

Attached to a weight space in an integrable highest weight representation of a simply-laced Kac-Moody algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, there are two natural commutative algebras: the cohomology ring of a quiver variety and the center of a cyclotomic…

For Hamiltonian circle actions on compact, connected, four-dimensional manifolds, we give a generators and relations description for the even part of the equivariant cohomology, as an algebra over the equivariant cohomology of a point. This…

We study the topological triviality and the Whitney equisingularity of a family of isolated determinantal singularities. On one hand, we give a L\^e-Ramanujam type theorem for this kind of singularities by using the vanishing Euler…

This paper shows how the Theorem of Residues (TR) and the Gelfand-Fuchs cocycle can be deduced in a simple way from the Weil Reciprocity Law (WRL). Indeed, if one understand WRL as the triviality of certain extension of groups, then TR is…

We prove the vanishing of bounded cohomology with separable dual coefficients for many groups of interest in geometry, dynamics, and algebra. These include compactly supported structure-preserving diffeomorphism groups of certain manifolds;…

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. We prove that if $V$ and $W$ are orthogonal $G$-representations such that $V^G=W^G=\{0\}$, then a $G$-equivariant map $S(V) \to S(W)$ exists provided that $\dim V^H \leq \dim W^H$ for any closed subgroup…

By using combinatorics, we give a new proof for the recurrence relations of the characteristic polynomial coefficients, and then we obtain an explicit expression for the generic term of the coefficient sequence, which yields the trace…
