Chern class formulas for classical-type degeneracy loci [PDF]
Employing a simple and direct geometric approach, we prove formulas for a large class of degeneracy loci in types B, C, and D, including those coming from all isotropic Grassmannians.

Chern-Weil global symmetries and how quantum gravity avoids them
We draw attention to a class of generalized global symmetries, which we call “Chern-Weil global symmetries,” that arise ubiquitously in gauge theories. The Noether currents of these Chern-Weil global symmetries are given by wedge products of gauge field ...

Biharmonic almost complex structures
This project uses methods in geometric analysis to study almost complex manifolds. We introduce the notion of biharmonic almost complex structure on a compact almost Hermitian manifold and study its regularity and existence in dimension four.

Vertex operator algebras and topologically twisted Chern-Simons-matter theories
We consider several topologically twisted Chern-Simons-matter theories and propose boundary VOAs whose module categories should model the category of line operators of the 3d bulk.

We study the interplay between four-derivative 4d gauged supergravity, holography, wrapped M5-branes, and theories of class ℛ $$ \mathrm{\mathcal{R}} $$ .

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

An Algorithm to Compute the Topological Euler Characteristic, Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson Class and Segre Class of Projective Varieties [PDF]
Let $V$ be a closed subscheme of a projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$. We give an algorithm to compute the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class, Euler characteristic and Segre class of $ V$.

On Trivialities of Chern Classes [PDF]
A finite $CW$-complex $X$ is $C$-trivial if for every complex vector bundle $ $ over $X$, the total Chern class $c( )=1$. In this note we completely determine when each of the following spaces are $C$-trivial: suspensions of stunted real projective spaces, suspensions of stunted complex projective spaces and suspensions of stunted quaternionic ...

Chern Classes of Splayed Intersections [PDF]
AbstractWe generalize the Chern class relation for the transversal intersection of two nonsingular varieties to a relation for possibly singular varieties, under a splayedness assumption. We show that the relation for the Chern–Schwartz–MacPherson classes holds for two splayed hypersurfaces in a nonsingular variety, and under a strong splayedness ...

Chern class formulas for ₂ Schubert loci [PDF]
We define degeneracy loci for vector bundles with structure group $G_2$, and give formulas for their cohomology (or Chow) classes in terms of the Chern classes of the bundles involved.
