We define a version of stable maps into the classifying stack $B\mathrm{GL}_N$, and develop a corresponding notion of $K$-theoretic Gromov-Witten invariants. In this setting, the evaluation morphisms are not of finite type; the definition…

We make precise conjectures relating the genus zero Gromov-Witten theory of a nonabelian GIT quotient X//G to that of the associated abelian quotient X//T by a maximal torus T in G.These conjectures imply in particular closed formulas for…

We introduce an generalization of the theta divisor to the theory of holomorphic triples on a smooth projective curve $X$. We show that a given triple $T=(E_1 \to E_0)$ is $\alpha$-semistable iff there exists an orthogonal tripe $S=(F_1 \to…

In this article we study covering spaces of symplectic toric orbifolds and symplectic toric orbifold bundles. In particular, we show that all symplectic toric orbifold coverings are quotients of some symplectic toric orbifold by a finite…

This paper introduces a quaternionic analogue of toric geometry by developing the theory of local $Q^n := Sp(1)^n$-actions on 4n-dimensional manifolds, modeled on the regular representation. We identify obstructions that measure the failure…

We generalize the Tutte polynomial of a matroid to a morphism of matroids via the K-theory of flag varieties. We introduce two different generalizations, and demonstrate that each has its own merits, where the trade-off is between the ease…

A theorem of Delzant states that any symplectic manifold $(M,\om)$ of dimension $2n$, equipped with an effective Hamiltonian action of the standard $n$-torus $\T^n = \R^{n}/2\pi\Z^n$, is a smooth projective toric variety completely…

Let G --> G' be an embedding of semisimple complex Lie groups, let B and B' be a pair of nested Borel subgroups, and let f:G/B --> G'/B' be the associated equivariant embedding of flag manifolds. We study the pullbacks of cohomologies of…

We construct explicit complex structures and transversely K\"ahler holomorphic foliations on $SU(3)$ corresponding to variations of real quadratic equations on a complex quadric in $\mathbb{C}^{6}$ as generalizations of left-invariant…

The main result of this paper is a proof that for any integrable function $f$ on the torus, any sequence of its orthogonal projections $(\widetilde{P}_n f)$ onto periodic spline spaces with arbitrary knots $\widetilde{\Delta}_n$ and…

We show that a weight variety, which is a quotient of a flag variety by the maximal torus, admits a flat degeneration to a toric variety. In particular, we show that the moduli spaces of spatial polygons degenerate to polarized toric…

We consider the symplectic vortex equations for a linear Hamiltonian torus action. We show that the associated genus zero moduli space itself is homotopic (in the sense of a homotopy of regular G-moduli problems) to a toric manifold with…

The paper computes the Witt-sheaf cohomology rings of partial flag varieties in type A in terms of the Pontryagin classes of the subquotient bundles. The proof is based on a Leray-Hirsch-type theorem for Witt-sheaf cohomology for the…

Let P be a parabolic subgroup of a semisimple complex Lie group G defined by a subset \Sigma of simple roots of G, and let E_\phi be a homogeneous vector bundle over the flag manifold G/P corresponding to a linear representation \phi of P.…

For $1\le r\le n-1,$ let $G_{r,n}$ denote the Grassmannian parametrizing $r$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^{n}.$ Let $(r,n)=1.$ In this article we show that the GIT quotients of certain Richardson varieties in $G_{r,n}$ for the…

Semi-topological Galois theory associates a canonical finite splitting covering to a monic Weierstrass polynomial. The inverse limit of the corresponding deck groups defines the absolute semi-topological Galois group, $\PiST(X,x)$. This…

In this paper we will investigate torus actions on complete manifolds with calibrations. For Calabi-Yau manifolds M^2n with a Hamiltonian structure-preserving k-torus action we show that any symplectic reduction has a natural holomorphic…
