The purpose of this work is to describe the (category of) Higgs bundles on a complex scheme X having a given cameral cover X~. We show that this category is a T_{X~}-gerbe, where T_{X~} is a certain sheaf of abelian groups on X, and we…
Let $X$ be a compact connected K\"ahler manifold equipped with an anti-holomorphic involution which is compatible with the K\"ahler structure. Let $G$ be a connected complex reductive affine algebraic group equipped with a real form…
Geodesically complete affine manifolds are quotients of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous action of a subgroup of affine Euclidean transformations. An equivalent definition is that the tangent bundle of such a manifold…
We formalize the ``metric bundle'' viewpoint by defining, for any smooth $n$--manifold $M$, the open fiberwise cones $\mathcal{G}^{p,q}\subset S^2\Tstar M$ of nondegenerate symmetric bilinear forms with fixed signature $(p,q)$, and we…
In this paper, we prove that the notions of Hilbert stability and Mumford stability agree for vector bundles of arbitrary rank over smooth curves. The notion of Hilbert stability was introduced by Gieseker and Morrison in 1984, and they…
Let $A$ be an Azumaya algebra over a field. If $G$ is the group of automorphisms of $A$ and $X$ denotes a projective homogeneous variety under $G$, we construct in a very explicit way and under suitable hypotheses a bundle $\mathcal{V}$ on…
We give a concrete description of the category of G-equivariant vector bundles on certain affine G-varieties (where G is a reductive linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0) in terms of linear algebra…
This paper attempts to investigate the space of various characteristic classes for smooth manifold bundles with local system on the total space inducing a finite holonomy covering. These classes are known as twisted higher torsion classes.…
We present three new inequalities tying the signature, the simplicial volume and the Euler characteristic of surface bundles over surfaces. Two of them are true for any surface bundle, while the third holds on a specific family of surface…
Givental has defined a Lagrangian cone in a symplectic vector space which encodes all genus-zero Gromov-Witten invariants of a smooth projective variety X. Let Y be the subvariety in X given by the zero locus of a regular section of a…
We study the geometry and topology of (filtered) algebra-bundles ${\bf\Psi}^{\mathbb Z}$ over a smooth manifold $X$ with typical fibre $\Psi^{\mathbb Z}(Z; V)$, the algebra of classical pseudodifferential operators of integral order on the…
In this paper we define an action by the symplectomorphisms on a symplectic manifold on the space of real singular polarizations. It is then shown that under some topological conditions, this action preserves quantization by a fixed…
We present bounds for the geometric degree of the tangent bundle and the tangential variety of a smooth affine algebraic variety $V$ in terms of the geometric degree of $V$. We first analyze the case of curves, showing an explicit relation…
We consider a Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group $G$ on a complete \ka manifold $M$ with a proper moment map. In a previous paper, we defined a regularized version of the Dolbeault cohomology of a $G$-equivariant holomorphic vector…
The notion of a pseudocycle is introduced by McDuff and Salamon (J-holomorphic curves and quantum cohomology, University Lecture Series, Vol. 6, AMS (1994)) to provide a framework for defining Gromov-Witten invariants and quantum…
The smooth action of a compact Lie group on a compact manifold can be resolved to an iterated space, as made explicit by Pierre Albin and the second author. On the resolution the lifted action has fixed isotropy type, in an iterated sense,…
Given a group G, we use involutary Hopf G-coalgebras to define a scalar invariant of flat G-bundles over 3-manifolds. When G=1, this invariant equals to the one of 3-manifolds constructed by Kuperberg from involutary Hopf algebras. We give…
The purpose of this paper is to extend the Donaldson-Corlette theorem to the case of vector bundles over cell complexes. We define the notion of a vector bundle and a Higgs bundle over a complex, and describe the associated Betti, de Rham…
The purpose of this paper is to explore the geometry and establish the slope stability of tautological vector bundles on Hilbert schemes of points on smooth surfaces. By establishing stability in general we complete a series of results of…
In the first part we use Gromov's K--area to define the K--area homology which stabilizes into singular homology on the category of pairs of compact smooth manifolds. The second part treats the questions of certain curvature gaps. For…
