Topological gravity in Minkowski space
Jack Morava
The two-category with three-manifolds as objects, h-cobordisms as morphisms, and diffeomorphisms of these as two-morphisms, is extremely rich; from the point of view of classical p…
Thom Prospectra for Loopgroup representations
Nitu Kitchloo, Jack Morava
We construct an S^1-equivariant prospectrum that models the Atiyah dual of a free loop space of a manifold. By applying a suitably completed S^1-equivariant K-theory to the Atiyah…
HKR characters and higher twisted sectors
Jack Morava
This is the writeup of an expository talk. It is intended as an introduction to the work of Hopkins, Kuhn, and Ravenel on generalized group characters, which seems to fit very well…
Braids, trees, and operads
Jack Morava
The space of unordered configurations of distinct points in the plane is aspherical, with Artin's braid group as its fundamental group. Remarkably enough, the space of ordered conf…
Tate cohomology of circle actions as a Heisenberg group
Jack Morava
We study the Madsen-Tillman spectrum \CP^\infty_{-1} as a quotient of the Mahowald pro-object \CP^\infty_{-\infty}, which is closely related to the Tate cohomology of circle action…
A renormalized Riemann-Roch formula and the Thom isomorphism for the free loop space
Matthew Ando, Jack Morava
Let E be a circle-equivariant complex-orientable cohomology theory. We show that the fixed-point formula applied to the free loopspace of a manifold X can be understood as a Rieman…
