The Chern character maps are one of the most important working tools in mathematics. Although they admit numerous different constructions, they are not yet fully understood at the conceptual level. In this note we eliminate this gap by…

We develop an appropriate dihedral extension of the Connes-Moscovici characteristic map for Hopf *-algebras. We then observe that one can use this extension together with the dihedral Chern character to detect non-trivial $L$-theory classes…

In this article, we construct Chern classes in rational Deligne cohomology for coherent sheaves on a smooth complex compact manifold. We prove that these classes verify the functoriality property under pullbacks, the Whitney formula and the…

We show that the Duflo-Serganova functor on the category of finite-dimensional modules over a finite-dimensional contragredient Lie superalgebra induces a ring homomorphism on a natural quotient of the Grothendieck ring, which is isomorphic…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, $M$ a finite $R$--module and $X$ an arbitrary $R$--module. Here, we show that, in the Serre subcategories of the category of $R$--modules, how the…

Let $A$ be a $(G, \chi)$-Hopf algebra with bijection antipode and let $M$ be a $G$-graded $A$-bimodule. We prove that there exists an isomorphism \mathrm{HH}^*_{\rm gr}(A, M)\cong{\rm Ext}^*_{A{-}{\rm gr}} (\K, {^{ad}(M)}), where $\K$ is…

We construct a functor, from the category of schemes to the category of graded rings, that is an initial object for having a theory of Chern classes with an additive first Chern class. For any scheme $X$, the graded ring that our functor…

For a Lie-Rinehart algebra (A,L) such that, as an A-module, L is finitely generated and projective of finite constant rank, the relationship between generators of the Gerstenhaber bracket and connections on the highest A-exterior power of L…

For a Lie-Rinehart algebra (A,L), generators for the Gerstenhaber algebra \Lambda_A L correspond bijectively to right (A,L)-connections on A in such a way that B-V structures correspond to right (A,L)-module structures on A. When L is…

Using symmetrized Grassmannians we give an algebraic geometric presentation, in the level of classifying spaces, of the Chern character and its relation to Chern classes. This allows one to define, for any projective variety $X$, a Chern…

The main purpose of this article is to define a quadratic analog of the Chern character, the so-called Borel character, which identifies rational higher Grothendieck-Witt groups with a sum of rational MW-motivic cohomologies and rational…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group. We show that the category $\mathbf{Loc}_{\infty}(BG)$ of $\infty$-local systems on the classifying space of $G$, can be described infinitesimally as the category…

In this expository paper, we give a complete proof of van den Essen's theorem that the de Rham cohomology spaces of a holonomic D-module are finite-dimensional in the case of a formal power series ring over a field of characteristic zero.…

A root system $\Phi$ of rank $n$ determines an $n$-dimensional smooth projective toric variety $X(\Phi)$ associated with the fan of its Weyl chambers. For the root system of type $A_n$, this variety is the well-known permutohedral variety…

In this article, we study the Chern-Weil theory for Hopf-Galois extensions originally introduced by Hajac and Maszczyk in the context of coalgebra extensions. We show that the cyclic homology Chern-Weil homomorphism defines natural…

Let $A$ be a commutative Noetherian ring containing a field of characteristic zero. Let $R= A[X_1, \ldots, X_m]$ be a polynomial ring and $A_m(A) = A \langle X_1, \ldots, X_m, \partial_1, \ldots, \partial_m \rangle$ be the $m^{th}$ Weyl…

Let $A$ be a Noetherian domain and $R$ be a finitely generated $A$-algebra. We study several features regarding the generic freeness over $A$ of an $R$-module. For an ideal $I \subset R$, we show that the local cohomology modules ${\rm…

In "Chern classes for coherent sheaves", H.I. Green constructs Chern classes in de Rham cohomology of coherent analytic sheaves. We construct here a formal $(\infty,1)$-categorical framework into which we can place Green's work and…

In this short review article we sketch some developments which should ultimately lead to the analogy of the Chern-Weil homomorphism for principal bundles in the realm of non-commutative differential geometry. Principal bundles there should…

We prove a general local rigidity theorem for pull-backs of homogeneous forms on reductive symmetric spaces under representations of discrete groups. One application of the theorem is that the volume of a closed manifold locally modelled on…
