In the present notes we generalize the classical work of Demazure [Invariants sym\'etriques entiers des groupes de Weyl et torsion] to arbitrary oriented cohomology theories and formal group laws. Let G be a split semisemiple linear…

This article is motivated by the original Casson invariant regarded as an integral lifting of the Rochlin invariant. We aim to defining an integral lifting of the Adams e-invariant of stably framed 3-manifolds, perhaps endowed with some…

In the absence of any symmetry constraints we address universal properties of the boundary charge $Q_B$ for a wide class of nearest-neighbor tight-binding models in one dimension with one orbital per site but generic modulations of on-site…

We introduce the vertical \(\widehat{A}\)-cowaist, a codimension-one invariant for partitioned manifolds. It extends the concept of infinite vertical \(\widehat{A}\)-cowaist for bands to arbitrary partitioned manifolds, which may be…

We define an (equivariant) quaternionic analytic torsion for antiselfdual vector bundles on quaternionic Kaehler manifolds, using ideas by Leung and Yi. We compute this torsion for vector bundles on quaternionic homogeneous spaces with…

It is known that the fundamental group homomorphism $\pi_1(T^2) \to \pi_1(S^3\setminus K)$ induced by the inclusion of the boundary torus into the complement of a knot $K$ in $S^3$ is a complete knot invariant. Many classical invariants of…

In this paper we propose unifying the categories of cochain complexes $\text{Ch}(\mathcal{C})$ and modules $\widehat{A}\text{-mod}$ over a repetitive algebra $\widehat{A}$. Motivated by their striking similarities and importance, we…

Let M be a closed enlargeable spin manifold. We show non-triviality of the universal index obstruction in the K-theory of the maximal $C^*$-algebra of the fundamental group of M. Our proof is independent from the injectivity of the…

Every smooth manifold contains particles which propagate. These form objects and morphisms of a category equipped with a functor to the category of Abelian groups, turning this into a 0+1 topological field theory. We investigate the…

Let p: M -> B be a family of compact manifolds equipped with a unitarily flat vector bundle F -> M. We generalize Igusa's higher Franz-Reidemeister torsion \tau(M/B;F) to the case that the fibre-wise cohomology H^*(M/B;F) -> B carries a…

The general purpose bitensorially gauge-covariant differentiation procedure set up in the preceding article is specialised to the particular case of bundles with nonlinear fibres that are endowed with a torsion free Riemannian or…

Let $C$ be a complete, algebraically closed non-archimedean extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and $X$ be a proper rigid-analytic variety over $C$. We show that the category of pro-\'etale vector bundles on $X$ is equivalent to the category of…

We prove that any rigid additive symmetric monoidal category can be mapped to a rigid abelian symmetric monoidal category in a universal way. This yields a novel approach to Grothendieck's standard conjecture D and Voevodsky's smash…

We study the unipotent completion $\Pi^{DR}_{un}(x_0, x_1, X_K)$ of the de Rham fundamental groupoid [De] of a smooth algebraic variety over a local non-archimedean field K of characteristic 0. We show that the vector space…

We provide a characterization of complex tori using holomorphic symmetric differentials. With the same method we show that compact complex manifolds of Kodaira dimension 0 having some symmetric power of the cotangent bundle globally…

We study a certain type of wild harmonic bundles in relation with a Toda equation. We explain how to obtain a classification of the real valued solutions of the Toda equation in terms of their parabolic weights, from the viewpoint of the…

This paper attempts to investigate the space of various characteristic classes for smooth manifold bundles with local system on the total space inducing a finite holonomy covering. These classes are known as twisted higher torsion classes.…

We describe polar homology groups for complex manifolds. The polar k-chains are subvarieties of complex dimension k with meromorphic forms on them, while the boundary operator is defined by taking the polar divisor and the Poincare residue…

"Quaternionic" vector bundles are the objects which describe the topological phases of quantum systems subjected to an odd time-reversal symmetry (class AII). In this work we prove that the FKMM invariant provides the correct fundamental…

We introduce a large class of bicovariant differential calculi on any quantum group $A$, associated to $Ad$-invariant elements. For example, the deformed trace element on $SL_q(2)$ recovers Woronowicz' $4D_\pm$ calculus. More generally, we…
