We propose a fibre bundle formulation of the mathematical base of relativistic quantum mechanics. At the present stage the bundle form of the theory is equivalent to its conventional one, but it admits new types of generalizations in…

This is a little investigation into the classification of complexes of direct sums of line bundles on projective spaces. We consider complexes on projective k-space Pk : O_Pk(-1)^a --> O_Pk^b --> O_Pk(1)^c, with the first map injective and…

A K-theoretic counterpart of quantum cohomology theory is discussed.

A behavior is a closed shift invariant subspace of the space of sequences with entries in a field k. We work out an explicit duality for k-modules. This duality is then used to derive properties of behaviors, and their high dimensional and…

In this paper, we first establish a K-theory version of the equivariant family index theorem for a circle action, then use it to prove several rigidity and vanishing theorems on the equivariant K-theory level.

Recently twisted K-theory has received much attention due to its applications in string theory and the announced result by Freed, Hopkins and Telemann relating the twisted equivariant K-theory of a compact Lie group to its Verlinde algebra.…

We compute the value of finitary localizing invariants, including algebraic $K$-theory, on categories of sheaves over stably locally compact spaces $X$. Our formula simultaneously generalizes the cases of locally compact Hausdorff and…

These lecture notes cover 13 sessions and are presented as an e-print, intended to evolve over time. Quantum invariants do more than distinguish topological objects; they build bridges between topology, algebra, number theory and quantum…

We study the twisted K-theory and K-homology of some infinite dimensional spaces, like SU(\infty), in the bivariant setting. Using a general procedure due to Cuntz we construct a bivariant K-theory on the category of separable…

We present a geometric interpretation of the integration-by-parts formula on an arbitrary vector bundle. As an application we give a new geometric formulation of higher-order variational calculus.

We describe the time evolution of quantum systems in a classical background space-time by means of a covariant derivative in an infinite dimensional vector bundle. The corresponding parallel transport operator along a timelike curve $\cC$…

By means of techniques from the Morita equivalence theory, we get finitely generated and projective modules over the quantum Heisenberg manifolds. This enables us to get some information about the range of the trace of these algebras, at…

Representing Z/N as roots of unity, we restrict a natural U(1)-action on the Heegaard quantum sphere to Z/N, and call the quotient spaces Heegaard quantum lens spaces. Then we use this representation of Z/N to construct an associated…

We construct models of involution surface bundles over algebraic surfaces, degenerating over normal crossing divisors, and with controlled singularities of the total space.

We prove a twisting theorem for nodal classes in permutation-equivariant quantum $K$-theory, and combine it with existing theorems of Givental to obtain a twisting result for general characteristic classes of the virtual tangent bundle.…

We consider some conditions under which a smooth projective variety X is actually the projective space. We also extend to the case of positive characteristic some results in the theory of vector bundle adjunction. We use methods and…

Let $k$ be a field, let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $k$, and let $V$ be a linear representation of $G$. Geometric invariant theory involves the study of the $k$-algebra of $G$-invariant polynomials on $V$, and the relation…

In this article we study the normal bundle and the deformation to the normal cone functors to get deformation Lie groupoids that allow us to construct pushforward maps in any suitable (co)homology theory for Lie groupoids (not only…

For a field $k$ we compute the $K$-theory of the exact category of $k[t_1,\dots,t_n]$-modules that are finite-dimensional over $k$, generalising the work of Kelley and Spanier.

We prove a generalization of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for Verdier-localizing functors by extending the proof for algebraic K-theory of spaces to the realm of stable $\infty$-categories. The formula behaves much better…
