We study Dolbeault--Koszul cohomology $H^{p,q}(M)$ of flat affine manifolds. We proove a K\"unneth formula \[ H^{p,q}(M\times N) \cong \bigoplus_{i,j} H^{i,j}(M)\otimes H^{p-i,q-j}(N) \] for flat affine manifolds $M,N$ with at least one…

This is the first of two papers in which we prove that a cell model of the moduli space of curves with marked points and tangent vectors at the marked points acts on the Hochschild co--chains of a Frobenius algebra. We also prove that a…

Based on a relative Wu theorem in \'etale cohomology, we study the compatibility of Steenrod operations on Chow groups and on \'etale cohomology. Using the resulting obstructions to algebraicity, we construct new examples of non-algebraic…

We compute the dual Steenrod algebra for Bredon homology with constant coefficients $\underline{\mathbb Z}$ and $\underline{\mathbb Z}/2$ in the category of modules over $MU^{((G))}$, the norm to $G=C_{2^n}$ of $MU_{\mathbb R}$. Using this…

An important breakthrough in understanding the geometry of Schubert varieties was the introduction of the notion of Frobenius split varieties and the result that the flag varieties G/P are Frobenius split. The aim of this article is to give…

Complex geometric properties of the orbits of a non-compact real form $G_0$ in a flag manifold $Z=G/Q$ of a complex semi-simple groups $G=G_0^\mathbb C$ are studied. Schubert varieties are used to construct a complex submanifold with…

For a K\"ahler Manifold $M$, the "symplectic Dolbeault operators" are defined using the symplectic spinors and associated Dirac operators, in complete analogy to how the usual Dolbeault operators, $\bar\partial$ and $\bar\partial^*$, arise…

We characterize primary operations in differential cohomology via stacks, and illustrate by differentially refining Steenrod squares and Steenrod powers explicitly. This requires a delicate interplay between integral, rational, and mod p…

We realise the cohomology ring of a flag manifold, more generally the coinvariant algebra of an arbitrary finite Coxeter group W, as a commutative subalgebra of a certain Nichols algebra in the Yetter-Drinfeld category over W. This gives a…

The Hochschild and cyclic homology groups are computed for the algebra of `cusp' pseudodifferential operators on any compact manifold with boundary. The index functional for this algebra is interpreted as a Hochschild 1-cocycle and…

We obtain general formulae expressing Hirzebruch genera of a manifold with Z/p-action in terms of invariants of this action (the sets of weights of fixed points). As an illustration, we consider numerous particular cases of well-known…

We propose a new approach to the multiplication of Schubert classes in the K-theory of the flag variety. This extends the work of Fomin and Kirillov in the cohomology case, and is based on the quadratic algebra defined by them. More…

Kirillov and Naruse have constructed double Grothendieck polynomials to represent the equivariant K-theory classes of Schubert varieties in the complete flag manifolds of types B, C, and D. We derive a recursive formula for these…

The Peterson variety is a subvariety of the flag manifold $G/B$ equipped with an action of a one-dimensional torus, and a torus invariant paving by affine cells, called Peterson cells. We prove that the equivariant pull-backs of Schubert…

In the present paper we provide a general algorithm to compute multiplicative cohomological operations on algebraic oriented cohomology of projective homogeneous G-varieties, where G is a split reductive algebraic group over a field of…

A *Gerstenhaber-Schack (G-S) bialgebra* consists of a graded Hopf algebra $H$ together with multilinear operations $\{\omega^1_3,\omega^2_2,\omega^3_1\}\subset \{Hom^{-1}(H^{\otimes m},H^{\otimes n}): m+n=4\},$ whose sum is the degree $-1$…

Schubert polynomials are a basis for the polynomial ring that represent Schubert classes for the flag manifold. In this paper, we introduce and develop several new combinatorial models for Schubert polynomials that relate them to other…

Let X=G/P be a homogeneous space of a complex semisimple Lie group G equipped with a hermitian metric. We study the action of the Hodge star operator on the space of harmonic differential forms on X. We obtain explicit combinatorial…

We consider the varieties of singular $m \times m$ complex matrices which may be either general, symmetric or skew-symmetric (with $m$ even). For these varieties we have shown in another paper that they had compact "model submanifolds", for…

In this article, we study compactifications of homogeneous spaces coming from equivariant, open embeddings into a generalized flag manifold $G/P$. The key to this approach is that in each case $G/P$ is the homogeneous model for a parabolic…
