Lecture notes introduce differential geometry using sheaves and differential operators.

This paper deals with sheaves of differential operators on noncommutative algebras. The sheaves are defined by quotienting a the tensor algebra of vector fields (suitably deformed by a covariant derivative) to ensure zero curvature. As an example we can obtain enveloping algebra like relations for Hopf algebras with di…

The paper constructs Levi flat structures using structure sheaves and differential complexes.

In the framework of Abstract Differential Geometry, we show that to a given principal sheaf and a representation of its stuctural sheaf in $A^n$, where A is a sheaf of associative, commutative, unital algebras (over R or C), we associate a vector sheaf. Moreover, under some natural assumptions on the compatibility of t…

Sheaves on graphs link to noncommutative geometry.

Given a smooth projective toric variety $X_Σ$ of complex dimension $n$, Fang-Liu-Treumann-Zaslow \cite{FLTZ} showed that there is a quasi-embedding of the differential graded (dg) derived category of coherent sheaves $Coh(X_Σ)$ into the dg derived category of constructible sheaves on a torus $Sh(T^n, Λ_Σ)$. Recently, K…

Novel construction of Bauer--Furuta invariant using sheaves of spectra.

We study differential forms and their higher-order generalizations by interpreting them as functions on map spaces. We get a series of approximations of "generalized manifolds" (i.e. of sheaves and stacks) somewhat akin to Taylor series.

This paper defines and examines the basic properties of noncommutative analogues of almost complex structures, integrable almost complex structures, holomorphic curvature, cohomology, and holomorphic sheaves. The starting point is a differential structure on a noncommutative algebra defined in terms of a differential g…

This paper describes how, in the case of algebraic surfaces, the well-known theorem of Donaldson-Uhlenbeck-Yau can be proved in a framework of generalized 'multiplier ideal sheaves', following the ideas of Siu. The key concept is that the destabilizing sheaf satisfies a differential inclusion relation. This relation is…

Smooth structures on diffeological spaces and sheaves, resolving conjectures.

We study an $A_\infty$ category associated to Legendrian links in $\mathbb{R}^3$ whose objects are $n$-dimensional representations of the Chekanov-Eliashberg differential graded algebra of the link. This representation category generalizes the positive augmentation category and we conjecture that it is equivalent to a …

In this paper, we consider diffeological spaces as stacks over the site of smooth manifolds, as well as the "underlying" diffeological space of any stack. More precisely, we consider diffeological spaces as so-called concrete sheaves and show that the Grothendieck construction sending these sheaves to stacks has a left…

The article constructs differential operators for parabolic geometries.

New dg-algebras link graph colorings to sheaves.

Abstract reviews distributions and subbundles in differential geometry.

Derived differential manifolds are constructed using the usual homotopy theory of simplicial rings of smooth functions. They are proved to be equivalent to derived differential manifolds of finite type, constructed using homotopy sheaves of homotopy rings (D.Spivak), thus preserving the classical cobordism ring. This r…

The van Est map is a map from Lie groupoid cohomology (with respect to a sheaf taking values in a representation) to Lie algebroid cohomology. We generalize the van Est map to allow for more general sheaves, namely to sheaves of sections taking values in a (smooth or holomorphic) $G$-module, where $G$-modules are struc…

This paper develops a theory of graded manifolds in differential geometry.

We discuss intrinsic aspects of Krupka's approach to finite-order variational sequences. We give intrinsic isomorphisms of the quotient subsheaves of the short finite-order variational sequence with sheaves of forms on jet spaces of suitable order, obtaining a new finite-order (short exact) variational sequence which i…

Study co-Higgs sheaves on toric varieties, finding explicit examples.

We review the notion of Gieseker stability for torsion-free Higgs sheaves. This notion is a natural generalization of the classical notion of Gieseker stability for torsion-free coherent sheaves. We prove some basic properties that are similar to the classical ones for torsion-free coherent sheaves over projective alge…

Study sheaves of Lie-Rinehart algebras and their morphisms, generalizing Lie algebroid concepts.

For a real or complex semisimple Lie group $G$ and two nested parabolic subgroups $Q\subset P\subset G$, we study parabolic geometries of type $(G,Q)$. Associated to the group $P$, we introduce a class of relative natural bundles and relative tractor bundles and construct some basic invariant differential operators on …

New potentials found for sheaves on Calabi-Yau 4-folds.

Paper constructs Chern character for coherent sheaves.

This note is mostly an exposition of an unpublished result of Deligne, which introduces an analogue of perverse $t$-structure on the derived category of coherent sheaves on a Noetherian scheme with a dualizing complex. Construction extends to the category of coherent sheaves equivariant under an action of an algebraic …

Study Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for special sheaves on Kähler manifolds.

Develops equivariant Chern characters for coherent sheaves with group actions.

We classify the simple sheaves microsupported along the conormal bundle of a knot. We also establish a correspondence between simple sheaves up to local systems and augmentations, explaining the underlying reason why knot contact homology representations detect augmentations.

We consider the local analytic behavior for a family of holomorphic differentials on a family of degenerating annuli. Three results and discussion are presented. The first is the normal families Lemma 1. The second is an isomorphism of sheaves, formula (3), giving a direct description of families of regular $k$-differe…

The paper connects connections on sheaves to an $L_{\infty}$ morphism lifting semiregularity maps.

Defines sheaves and Čech cohomology for diffeological spaces and classifies principal bundles.

We establish a Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for the stable Higgs sheaves on a compact Kaehler manifold. Using it, we also obtain a Kobayashi-Hitchin correspondence for the stable Higgs G-sheaves, where G is any complex reductive linear algebraic group.

Develops a new method to study algebraic tangent cones of sheaves using valuations.

Partial AHS-structures extend G-structures and Cartan geometries to manifolds with involutive distributions.

We study the unwrapped Fukaya category of Lagrangian branes ending on a Legendrian knot. Our knots live at contact infinity in the cotangent bundle of a surface, the Fukaya category of which is equivalent to the category of constructible sheaves on the surface itself. Consequently, our category can be described as cons…

Given a $C^\infty$ real manifold $X$ and $\mathcal{C}^m_X$ its sheaf of $m$-times differentiable real-valued functions, we prove that the sheaf $\mathcal{D}^{m, r}_X$ of differential operators of order $\leq m$ with coefficient functions of class $C^r$ can be obtained in terms of the sheaf $\mathcal{H}om_{\mathbb{R}_X}…

Let $M$ be a hyperkaehler manifold, and $F$ a torsion-free and reflexive coherent sheaf on $M$. Assume that $F$ (outside of its singularities) admits a connection with a curvature which is invariant under the standard SU(2)-action on 2-forms. If the curvature is square-integrable, then $F$ is stable and its singulariti…

Unified framework for Morita invariant cohomology of Lie groupoids.

Generalized Nakano positivity for certain singular cases.

For (X,L) a polarized toric variety and G a torus of automorphisms of (X,L), denote by Y the GIT quotient X/G. We define a family of fully faithful functors from the category of torus equivariant reflexive sheaves on Y to the category of torus equivariant reflexive sheaves on X. We show, under a genericity assumption o…
