We prove that, for a Poisson vertex algebra V, the canonical injective homomorphism of the variational cohomology of V to its classical cohomology is an isomorphism, provided that V, viewed as a differential algebra, is an algebra of…

We propose a way of computing 4-manifold invariants, old and new, as chiral correlation functions in half-twisted 2d $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ theories that arise from compactification of fivebranes. Such formulation gives a new interpretation of…

In this paper, we give Maurer-Cartan characterizations as well as a cohomology theory for compatible Lie algebras. Explicitly, we first introduce the notion of a bidifferential graded Lie algebra and thus give Maurer-Cartan…

We consider a central extension of the sheaf of Lie algebras of maps from a manifold into a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra, together with the sheaf of vector fields. Using vertex algebra methods we construct sheaves of modules for…

We present an Eilenberg-Steenrod-like axiomatic framework for equivariant coarse homology and cohomology theories. We also discuss a general construction of such coarse theories from topological ones and the associated transgression maps. A…

This paper focuses on the study of a new category of vector bundles. The objects of this category, called chiral vector bundles, are pairs given by a complex vector bundle along with one of its automorphisms. We provide a classification for…

We introduce an algebro-geometric version of the free loop space for any scheme X of finite type. This is an ind-scheme of ind-infinite type containing the scheme of formal germs of curves on X. Then, we give a direct geometric…

We use differential cohomology to systematically construct a large class of topological actions in physics, including Chern-Simons terms, Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten terms, and theta terms (continuous or discrete). We introduce a notion of…

In this paper, we develope an equivariant theory of Chern characters for coherent sheaves on compact complex manifolds with finite group actions, taking values in Bott-Chern cohomology classes. Furthermore, we establish the corresponding…

We present a deRham model for Chen-Ruan cohomology ring of abelian orbifolds. We introduce the notion of \emph{twist factors} so that formally the stringy cohomology ring can be defined without going through pseudo-holomorphic orbifold…

This paper belongs to a series devoted to the study of the cohomology of classifying spaces. Generalizing the Weil algebra of a Lie algebra and Kalkman's BRST model, here we introduce the Weil algebra $W(A)$ associated to any Lie algebroid…

A new cohomology, induced by a vector field, is defined on pairs of differential forms ($1$--differentiable forms) in a manifold. It is proved a link with the classical de Rham cohomology and an $1$-differentable cohomology of Lichnerowicz…

In this article, we will discuss a new operator $d_{C}$ on $W(\mathfrak{g})\otimes\Omega^{*}(M)$ and to construct a new Cartan model for equivariant cohomology. We use the new Cartan model to construct the corresponding BRST model and Weil…

In this article, we introduce equivariant formal deformation theory of associative algebra morphisms. We introduce an equivariant deformation cohomology of associative algebra morphisms and using this we study the equivariant formal…

Aim of this paper is to define a new type of cohomology for multiplicative Hom-Leibniz algebras which controls deformations of Hom-Leibniz algebra structure. The cohomology and the associated deformation theory for Hom-Leibniz algebras as…

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…

This survey article on relative homological algebra in bivariant K-thoery is mainly intended for readers with a background knowledge in triangulated categories. We briefly recall the general theory of relative homological algebra in…

Given an associative unital algebra $A$ over a perfect field $k$ of odd positive characteristic, we construct a non-commutative generalization of the Cartier isomorphism for $A$. The role of differential forms is played by Hochschild…

We describe the integral equivariant cohomology ring of a weighted projective space in terms of piecewise polynomials, and thence by generators and relations. We deduce that the ring is a perfect invariant, and prove a Chern class formula…

We construct equivariant and Bott-type Seiberg-Witten Floer homology and cohomology for 3-manifolds, in particular rational homology spheres, and prove their diffeomorphism invariance. We present several versions of the equivariant theory:…
