In this article, we'll introduce a $q$-variant of Witt vectors and de Rham-Witt complexes. This variant is closely related to the Habiro ring of a number field constructed by Garoufalidis, Scholze, Wheeler, and Zagier, to $q$-Hodge…

In this paper we consider a class of connected closed $G$-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each $M$ of which is totally non-homologous to zero in $M_G$ (or $G$-equivariantly formal), where $G={\Bbb Z}_2$. With the help of…

Extending ideas of twisted equivariant $K$-theory, we construct twisted versions of the representation rings for Lie superalgebras and Lie supergroups, built from projective $\Z_{2}$-graded representations with a given cocycle. We then…

A strong version of the quantization conjecture of Guillemin and Sternberg is proved. For a reductive group action on a smooth, compact, polarized variety (X,L), the cohomologies of L over the GIT quotient X // G equal the invariant part of…

We combine Lurie's generalization of the Hopkins-Miller theorem with work of Zink-Lau on displays to give a functorial construction of even-periodic commutative ring spectra, concentrated in chromatic layers 2 and above, associated to…

We extend the theory of equivariant orthogonal spectra from finite groups to profinite groups, and more generally from compact Lie groups to compact Hausdorff groups. The G-homotopy theory is "pieced together" from the G/U-homotopy theories…

We show that, for a finite spectrum $X$, Spanier-Whitehead duality induces an isomorphism between the cohomological and homological Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequences. As an application, it follows that Poincar\'e duality for a Poincar\'e…

We compute the equivariant complex K-theory ring of a cohomogeneity-one action of a compact Lie group at the level of generators and relations and derive a characterization of K-theoretic equivariant formality for these actions. Less…

This paper studies the foundations of the geometric fixed point functor in multiplicative equivariant stable homotopy theory. We introduce a new class of equivariant orthogonal spectra called generalized orbit desuspension spectra and…

This article proposes a framework for the study of periodic maps $T$ from a (typically finite) set $X$ to itself when the set $X$ is equipped with one or more real- or complex-valued functions. The main idea, inspired by the time-evolution…

Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a small category $I$. We study functors $X \colon I \to \mathscr{C}$ equipped with families of compatible natural transformations that give a kind of generalized $G$-action on $X$. Such objects are called…

The classical Witt vectors are a ubiquitous object in algebra and number theory. They arise as a functorial construction that takes perfect fields k of prime characteristic p > 0 to p-adically complete discrete valuation rings of…

We provide foundations for dealing with the equivariant structure of "smash powers" of commutative orthogonal ring spectra. The category of commutative orthogonal ring spectra $A$ is tensored over spaces $X$, so that $A \otimes X$ is a…

Let T be a compact torus and X a nice compact T-space (say a manifold or variety). We introduce a functor assigning to X a "GKM-sheaf" F_X over a "GKM-hypergraph" G_X. Under the condition that X is equivariantly formal, the ring of global…

We give equivalences between given properties of a commutative ring, and other properties on its ring of Witt vectors. Amongst them, we characterise all commutative rings whose rings of Witt vectors are Noetherian. We define a new category…

Let $B$ denote the upper triangular subgroup of $SL_2(C)$, $T$ its diagonal torus and $U$ its unipotent radical. A complex projective variety $Y$ endowed with an algebraic action of $B$ such that the fixed point set $Y^U$ is a single point,…

In this paper we develop a novel approach to Witt vector rings and to the (relative) de Rham Witt complex. We do this in the generality of arbitrary commutative algebras and arbitrary truncation sets. In our construction of Witt vector…

We show that various flavors of Witt vectors are functorial with respect to multiplicative polynomial laws of finite degree. We then deduce that the $p$-typical Witt vectors are functorial in multiplicative polynomial maps of degree at most…

We extend the theorem of Hausel and the author from arXiv:2212.11836 that relates equivariant cohomology rings and algebras of functions on zero schemes. This paper combines three separate results. We prove that for a reductive group G…

We construct the stable (representable) homotopy category of finite orbispectra, whose objects are formal desuspensions of finite orbi-CW-pairs by vector bundles and whose morphisms are stable homotopy classes of (representable) relative…
