We compute the equivariant $K$-homology of the classifying space for proper actions, for compact 3-dimensional hyperbolic reflection groups. This coincides with the topological $K$-theory of the reduced $C^\ast$-algebra associated to the…
After summarising the physical approach leading to twisted homotopy and after developing the cohomological approach further with respect to our previous work we propose a third alternative approach to twisted homotopy based on group…
Let $X$ be a toric $\mbox{hyperK\"ahler}$ manifold. The purpose of this note is to describe the topological $K$-ring $K^*(X)$ of $X$. We give a presentation for the topological $K$-ring in terms of generators and relations similar to the…
Certain versions of mimetic gravity have recently been claimed to present potential covariant theories of canonically modified spherically symmetric gravity, motivated by ingredients from loop quantum gravity. If such an equivalence were to…
The quantum geometry arising in Loop Quantum Gravity has been known to semi-classically lead to generalizations of length-geometries. There have been several attempts to interpret these so called twisted geometries and understand their role…
Let $G$ be a compact, connected, and simply-connected Lie group, equipped with a Lie group involution $\sigma_G$ and viewed as a $G$-space with the conjugation action. In this paper, we present a description of the ring structure of the…
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…
Twisted $U$- and twisted $U/K$-hierarchies are soliton hierarchies introduced by Terng to find higher flows of the generalized sine-Gordon equation. Twisted $\frac {O(J,J)}{O(J)\times O(J)}$-hierarchies are among the most important classes…
We show that when a torus $T$ acts on a smooth variety $X$, the twisted HKR isomorphism is equivariant. The main consequence is that the Bezrukavnikov- Lachowska isomorphism, relating the Hochschild cohomology of the principal block of the…
Recently, examples of an index theory for KMS states of circle actions were discovered, \cite{CPR2,CRT}. We show that these examples are not isolated. Rather there is a general framework in which we use KMS states for circle actions on a…
The M-theory fieldstrength and its dual, given by the integral lift of the left hand side of the equation of motion, both satisfy certain cohomological properties. We study the combined fields and observe that the multiplicative structure…
In this article we describe the equivariant and ordinary topological $K$-ring of a toric bundle with fiber a $T$-{\it cellular} toric variety. This generalizes the results in \cite{su} on $K$-theory of smooth projective toric bundles. We…
Virtual knot theory is a generalization of knot theory which is based on Gauss chord diagrams and link diagrams on closed oriented surfaces. A twisted knot is a generalization of a virtual knot, which corresponds to a link diagram on a…
Relative index theorems, which deal with what happens with the index of elliptic operators when cutting and pasting, are abundant in the literature. It is desirable to obtain similar theorems for other stable homotopy invariants, not the…
We introduce and study a $K$-theory of twisted bundles for associative algebras $A(\mathfrak g)$ of formal series with an infinite-Lie algebra coefficients over arbitrary compact topological spaces. Fibers of such bundles are given by…
We interpret certain equivariant Kasparov groups as equivariant representable K-theory groups. We compute these groups via a classifying space and as K-theory groups of suitable sigma-C*-algebras. We also relate equivariant vector bundles…
The primary goal of this paper is to study topological invariants in two dimensional twofold rotation and time-reversal symmetric spinful systems. In this paper, firstly we build a new homotopy invariant based on the lifting of the Wilson…
In this paper we introduce the notion of twisted symplectic reflection algebras and describe the category of representations of such an algebra associated to a non-faithful G-action in terms of those for faithful actions of G.
I describe a possible perspective on the current state of loop quantum gravity, at the light of the developments of the last years. I point out that a theory is now available, having a well-defined background-independent kinematics and a…
By using higher K-theory, we study deformation theory of K-theoretic cycles. As an application, we answer two questions posed by Mark Green and Philip Griffiths: (1). How to define tangent spaces to cycle class groups in general? (2).…
