We model problems as presheaves that assign sets of certificates to input instances, and we show how to use presheaf \v{C}ech cohomology to capture the precise ways in which local solutions fail to patch into global ones. Applied to…

We give a brief introduction to (upper) cluster algebras and their quantization using examples. Then we present several important families of bases for these algebras using topological models. We also discuss tropical properties of these…

Let $G = GL(n)$ and $K = GL(p) \times GL(q)$ with $p+q=n$, where the groups are taken over $\C$. In this paper we study a certain family of $K$-orbit closures on the flag variety $X$ of $G$. The geometry of these orbit closures plays a…

An odd index theorem for higher odd Chern characters of crossed product algebras is proved. It generalizes the Noether-Gohberg-Krein index theorem. Furthermore, a local formula for the associated cyclic cocycle is provided. When applied to…

We survey recent developments on rationality problems for algebraic varieties, with a particular emphasis on cycle-theoretic and combinatorial methods and their applications to hypersurfaces.

Generalized cycles can be thought of as the extension of form-cycle duality between holomorphic forms and cycles, to meromorphic forms and generalized cycles. They appeared as an ubiquitous tool in the study of spectral curves and…

We study whether a unital associative algebra $ A $ over a field admits a decomposition of the form $A = Z(A) + [A,A]$ where $ Z(A) $ is the center of $ A $ and $ [A,A] $ denotes the additive subgroup of $A$ generated by all additive…

This PhD thesis aims at describing the applications of noncommutative geometry to particle physics and quantum field theory. It includes a brief survey of the basic principles and definitions of noncommutative geometry such as spectral…

We show that Bloch's complex of relative zero-cycles can be used as a dualizing complex over perfect fields and number rings. This leads to duality theorems for torsion sheaves on arbitrary separated schemes of finite type over…

A theory of cyclic elements in semisimple Lie algebras is developed. It is applied to an explicit construction of regular elements in Weyl groups.

Several algebraic criteria, reflecting displacement properties of transformation groups, have been used in the past years to prove vanishing of bounded cohomology and stable commutator length. Recently, the authors introduced the property…

Nearly all practical applications of the theory of characteristic modes (CMs) involve the use of computational tools. Here in Paper 2 of this Series on CMs, we review the general transformations that move CMs from a continuous theoretical…

Let $V$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with residue field $\mathbb{F}$. We define a cyclic homology theory for algebras over $\mathbb{F}$, by lifting them to free algebras over $V$, which we enlarge to tube algebras and complete…

In this paper, we introduce variants of formal nearby cycles for a locally noetherian formal scheme over a complete discrete valuation ring. If the formal scheme is locally algebraizable, then our nearby cycle gives a generalization of…

We investigate the surjectivity of the real cycle class map from $I$-cohomology to classical intergral cohomology for some real smooth varieties, in particular surfaces. This might be considered as one of several possible incarnations of…

This paper describes a higher-categorical version of the theory of colored operads, giving applications to the study of commutative ring spectra.

This work builds on earlier work of the first three authors where a notion of congruence modules in higher codimension is introduced. The main new results are a criterion for detecting regularity of local rings in terms of congruence…

Let $G$ be a finite group and let $k$ be a sufficiently large finite field. Let $R(G)$ denote the character ring of $G$ (i.e. the Grothendieck ring of the category of ${\mathbb{C}}G$-modules). We study the structure and the representations…

This paper defines new intersection homology groups. The basic idea is this. Ordinary homology is locally trivial. Intersection homology is not. It may have significant local cycles. A local-global cycle is defined to be a family of such…

Goodwillie's rational isomorphism between relative algebraic K-theory and relative cyclic homology, together with the lambda decomposition of cyclic homology, illustrates the close relationships among algebraic K-theory, cyclic homology,…
