We relate certain universal curvature identities for Kaehler manifolds to the Euler-Lagrange equations of the scalar invariants which are defined by pairing characteristic forms with powers of the Kaehler form.
For a flag manifold $M=G/B$ with the canonical torus action, the $T-$equivariant cohomology is generated by equivariant Schubert classes, with one class $\tau_u$ for every element $u$ of the Weyl group $W$. These classes are determined by…
We introduce and study equivariant Seiberg-Witten invariants for $4$-manifolds equipped with a smooth action of a finite group $G$. Our invariants come in two types: cohomological, valued in the group cohomology of $G$ and $K$-theoretic,…
A Q-manifold is a graded manifold endowed with a vector field of degree one squaring to zero. We consider the notion of a Q-bundle, that is, a fiber bundle in the category of Q-manifolds. To each homotopy class of ``gauge fields'' (sections…
We consider infinite tensor product actions of $G = \mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$ on the UHF-algebra $D = \text{End}(V)^{\otimes \infty}$ for a finite-dimensional unitary $G$-representation $V$ and determine the equivariant homotopy type of the…
We introduce the notion of $\mathrm{R}$-Eulerian sequences for any $\mathcal{N}_\infty$-ring spectrum $\mathrm{R}$ of finite orientation order. We prove that each $\mathrm{R}$-Eulerian sequence determines a stable $\mathrm{R}$-cohomology…
Combings of oriented compact 3-manifolds are homotopy classes of nowhere zero vector fields in these manifolds. A first known invariant of a combing is its Euler class, that is the Euler class of the normal bundle to a combing…
For the moduli spaces of Abelian differentials, the Euler characteristic is one of the most basic intrinsic topological invariants. We give a formula for the Euler characteristic that relies on intersection theory on the smooth…
This paper investigates the representation-theoretic structure of the Koszul cohomology of a smooth projective variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, admitting an action of a finite group $G$ of order coprime to ${\rm…
Given a discrete group $G$ with a finite model for $\underline{E}G$, we study $K(n)^*(BG)$ and $E^*(BG)$, where $K(n)$ is the $n$-th Morava $K$-theory for a given prime and $E$ is the height $n$ Morava $E$-theory. In particular we…
We introduce a scissors congruence $K$-theory spectrum which lifts the equivariant scissors congruence groups for compact $G$-manifolds with boundary, and we show that on $\pi_0$ this is the source of a spectrum level lift of the Burnside…
HyperK\"ahler spaces, including manifolds, orbifolds and conical singularities play an important role in superstring/$M$-theory and gauge theories as well as in differential and algebraic geometry. In this paper we provide hundreds of new…
Let $G$ be a $(2,m,n)$-group and let $x$ be the number of distinct primes dividing $\chi$, the Euler characteristic of $G$. We prove, first, that, apart from a finite number of known exceptions, a non-abelian simple composition factor $T$…
We compute the $S_n$-equivariant topological Euler characteristic of the Kontsevich moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{1, n}(\mathbb{P}^r, d)$. Letting $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{1, n}^{\mathrm{nrt}}(\mathbb{P}^r, d) \subset…
Let $G$ be a finite group and $N\unlhd G$. In this note, we construct a class poset of $G$ for some cyclic subgroup $C$ of $G$. And we find a relation between $m_{G,N}$ and the Euler characteristic of some nerve spaces of these posets(see…
The main aim is to give a rigorous statement and proof of the slogan "the d-fold tensor product of distributions is an Euler system for GL_d". Of the few known examples of Euler systems, we look at those of cyclotomic units and of…
We compute the homology of the space of equivariant loops on the classifying space of a simplicial monoid $M$ with anti-involution, provided $\pi_0 (M)$ is central in the homology ring of $M$. The proof is similar to McDuff and Segal's…
For a compact Lie group G we define a regularized version of the Dolbeault cohomology of a G-equivariant holomorphic vector bundles over non-compact Kahler manifolds. The new cohomology is infinite-dimensional, but as a representation of G…
We define and study invariants which can be uniformly constructed for any gauge system. By a gauge system we understand an (anti-)Poisson supermanifold provided with an odd Hamiltonian self-commuting vector field called a homological vector…
We define the notion of a hierarchically cocompact classifying space for a family of subgroups of a group. Our main application is to show that the mapping class group $\mbox{Mod}(S)$ of any connected oriented compact surface $S$, possibly…
