We study non-additive operations from algebraic Morava K-theories to oriented cohomology theories in algebraic geometry. For oriented cohomology theory $A$ that has a {$p^n$}-typical formal group law over a $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$-algebra we…

We prove a generalisation of the Khukhro--Makarenko theorem on large characteristic subgroups with laws. This general fact implies new results on groups, algebras, and even graphs and other structures. Concerning groups, we obtain, e.g., a…

We begin by explaining how a physical problem of studying the quantum Hall effect on a closed surface $C$ leads, via Laughlin's approach, to a mathematical question of describing the rank and the first Chern class of a particular vector…

Demushkin's Theorem says that any two toric structures on an affine variety X are conjugate in the automorphism group of X. We provide the following extension: Let an (n-1)-dimensional torus T act effectively on an n-dimensional affine…

For nonabelian $2^{\mathrm{nd}}$-cohomology of multiplicative Lie algebras, we properly generalize from the group case three classic results. We prove a Correspondence theorem which compares $2^{\mathrm{nd}}$-cohomology associated to a…

In this paper we construct a twisted version of quasi-elliptic cohomology. This theory can be constructed as a K-theory of a loop space. After establishing basic properties of the theory, including restriction, change-of-group and induction…

The goal of this paper is to prove Riemann-Roch type theorems for Deligne-Mumford algebraic stacks. To this end, we introduce a "cohomology with coefficients in representations" and a Chern character, and we prove a…

We establish a semistable generalization of the Beilinson-Bloch-Esnault-Kerz fiber square, relating the algebraic K-theory of a semistable scheme to its logarithmic topological cyclic homology. We prove that the obstruction to lifting…

We investigate a certain class of Ind-scheme morphisms corresponding to homomorphisms between the automorphism group of the $n$-th complex Weyl algebra and the group of Poisson structure-preserving automorphisms of the commutative complex…

We show that assuming lower bounds on the Ricci curvature and the injectivity radius the absolute value of certain characteristic numbers of a Riemannian manifold, including all Pontryagin and Chern numbers, is bounded proportionally to the…

We pursue an old conjecture of John Roe about the algebraic K-theory of the algebra of finite propagation, locally trace-class operators, namely that transgressing the algebraic coarse character map on this algebra to a Higson dominated…

The goal of the paper is two-fold. At first, we attempt to give a survey of some recent applications of symmetric polynomials and divided differences to intersection theory. We discuss: polynomials universally supported on degeneracy loci;…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional variety over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, regular in codimension 1 with singular locus $Z$. In this paper we study the negative $K$-theory of $X$, showing that when $Z$ is sufficiently nice, $K_{1-n}(X)$…

In 1995, Koll\'ar conjectured that a smooth complex projective $n$-fold $X$ with generically large fundamental group has Euler characteristic $\chi(X, K_X)\geq 0$. In this paper, we prove the conjecture assuming $X$ has linear fundamental…

The equivariant Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) class and the equivariant Motivic Chern (MC) class are important characteristic classes of singular varieties in cohomology and K theory---and their theory overlaps with the theory of…

Let X_0 be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus g with D_0\subset X_0 an ordered subset of cardinality n, and let E_G be a holomorphic principal G-bundle on X_0, where G is a complex reductive affine algebraic group, that admits a…

This write up attempts to clarify a preprint by Markarian [2] which proves This paper attempts to clarify a preprint of Markarian [2]. The preprint by Markarian [2] proves the relative Riemann-Roch theorem using a result describing how the…

The Chern isomorphism determines the free part of the K-groups from ordinary cohomology. Thus to really understand the implications of K-theory for physics one must look at manifolds with K-torsion. Unfortunately there are not many explicit…

We prove a Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg decomposition theorem for smooth proper schemes $X$ in characteristic $p$ when $\dim X\leq p$. The best known previous result of this kind, due to Yekutieli, required $\dim X<p$. Yekutieli's result…

Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson (CSM) classes generalize to singular and/or noncompact varieties the classical total homology Chern class of the tangent bundle of a smooth compact complex manifold. The theory of CSM classes has been extended to…
