Todd class as an Euler class
Let $X$ be a relatively nice scheme or topological space.
In various physics papers I've come accross, the Todd class $\text{Td}(T_X)$ is viewed as the Euler class of the normal bundle to $X\to LX$. ...

Grothendieck Riemann Roch is abelian localisation on loop spaces
Abelian localisation says approximately that for a proper equivaraint map $f:X\to Y$ between schemes with a $\mathbf{G}_m$ action, the pushforward on cohomology $f_*\omega$ can be computed by the ...

Sheafification of loop scheme/group
Let $X$ be a scheme over $K = k((t))$, where $k$ is a field. We define the loop scheme $LX$ to be the functor from the category of $k$-algebras to sets by $R \mapsto LX(R) := X(Spec (R((t))))$.
Do we ...

Homology of the free loop space of a Grassmanian
Is there any reference for calculation of the rational homology of the free loop space $H_*(\mathcal{L}Gr(k,n),\mathbb{Q})$ of a complex Grassmanian? More precisely, I am interested in computing ranks ...

Loop space in Topological sense v.s. Categorical sense
I know that the loop space of given pointed topological space $(X,\ast)$ is the set of pointed maps $\mathrm{Map}_\ast(S^1,X)$. I would denote it by $\Omega X$.
On the other hand, I saw an article in ...

Reconciling the affine grassmannian and the based loop group
I'm trying to reconcile the differences between the (algebraic) based loop group and the affine grassmannian. I once believed that I understood the relationship, but I just read a paper which has ...

Real varieties with enough algebraic loops
Let $(X,\sigma)$ be a complex variety with complex conjugation (equivalently, an algebraic variety over $\mathbb R$).
We use the notations $X(\mathbb R):=X^\sigma$ for the set of fixed points of $X$ ...

Geometric realization of Hochschild complex
Let $A$ be a commutative $\mathbb{C}$-algebra, and consider $C_{\bullet}(A,A)$ the simplicial Hochschild homology module of $A$ with respect to itself (i.e. $C_{n}(A,A)=A^{\otimes (n+1)}$). This is a ...

A question about the affine Grassmanian
For $SL(2, \mathbf{C} ((t)))$ the affine Grassmanian is defined as:
$$SL(2, \mathbf{C}((t))) / SL(2, \mathbf{C} [[t]])$$
Now that is fine but $SL(2, \mathbf{C} ((t)))$ has smaller parabolic subgroups. ...

parameterizing polynomial loops in $\mathbb{C}^\times$
Say $L\mathbb{C}^\times$ is the loop group of smooth maps $S^1 \to \mathbb{C}^\times$. There is a submonoid $L_{poly}\mathbb{C}^\times$ of loops that look like $w_0 + w_1z +w_2z^2 + \cdots + w_nz^n$ ...
