Duality between K-theory and K-homology in the non-compact, spin$^c$ case
Let $M$ be a compact spin$^c$ manifold, so that it has a fundamental class $[M] \in K_n(M)$. It is well-known that the cap product with $[M]$ induces Poincare duality isomorphisms $K^\ast(M) \cong K_\...

In what sense is a generically submersive morphism of varieties subermersive over singular points?
Background/Motivation
I'm currently interested in the duality theorem for projective varieties and more specifically in properties of the conormal variety over the dual variety.
Let $V$ be a $k$-...

Confusion about the dual/predual to the tangent plane to a Teichmüller space
I apologize in advance if this question is not considered research-level.
I am reading material on Teichmüller theory and I am getting confused as to the nature of the space $Q(R)$ of all integrable, ...

hyperfunctions and analytic duals
Let $A(\mathbb R^n)$ be the real analytic functions and $\mathscr B(\mathbb R^n)$ the hyperfunctions, dual to $A(\mathbb R^n)$. Further let $W\subset \mathbb C$ be a cone in the complex plane with ...

Frobenius upper shriek/flat of a dualizing complex
Let $X$ be a separated connected scheme of characteristic $p > 0$. I am going to assume that $F : X \to X$ (the absolute Frobenius) is a finite map. This condition is called being $F$-finite.

Poincaré Duality of a quasi-free algebra
I'm completely stumped on this one (yet I feel it is obviously true or obviously false)
If $A$ is a quasi-free algebra, then must it satisfy Poincaré duality?
All i need to find is a protective ...

"L^2_loc mod constants" as a reflexive space
In an article of Sten Kaijser ("A note on dual Banach spaces") I find the assertion that $E = L^2_{\text{loc}}({\mathbb R})$ modulo constants is a reflexive space.
Question 1: which is the '...

Generalized fourier transform and convolution?
Let $a(t)$ and $b(t)$ be two equal length sequences indexed by time index $t$.
We know that $a(t) * b(t)$ corresponds to $A(\omega) \odot B(\omega)$ in the frequency domain where $A(\omega)$ and $B(\...

Is there a direct way to compute the higher derived image sheaves of a family of $\mathbb{P}^n$s?
Let $V\rightarrow Y$ be a vector bundle of rank $n+1$ over $Y$, with $Y$ reasonably nice (I care about the case of smooth, irreducible affine). Let $X=\mathbb{P}(V)$ be the projectivization of $V$, so ...

Looking for a uniform explanation of algebras with canonical generators.
Let $\mathcal{V}$ be a finitary variety i.e. the algebras for a signature whose operations have finite arity and for some arbitrary set of equations. Then any algebra $A \in \mathcal{V}$ has a ...
