2-Equivariant 2-Vector bundles and 2K-theories

We define 2-vector bundles over a Lie groupoid as pseudofunctors into the bicategory of finite-dimensional super algebras, bimodules, and intertwiners. The resulting 2K-theory, obtained as the Grothendieck completion of the homotopy category, is a category in which ordinary K-theory appears as the endomorphism ring of the trivial object and twisted K-theories as morphisms from the trivial object to twistings. We establish a biequivalence between this pseudofunctor model and the stacky model of Kristel-Ludewig-Waldorf. The theory is extended equivariantly for coherent Lie 2-groups, with explicit computations for abelian and discrete 2-groups that recover the representation rings predicted by Lurie's 2-equivariant elliptic cohomology. For the stringor bundle of Stolz-Teichner, we show that it is the filtered pseudocolimit of finite-dimensional approximants, embedding it into our 2K-theoretic framework. Finally, weak groupoid objects internal to a bicategory yield 2-orbifold 2-vector bundles and their 2K-theory, unifying the ordinary and equivariant settings.

Quasi-elliptic cohomology of 4-spheres

Quasi-elliptic cohomology is conjectured by Sati and Schreiber as a particularly suitable approximation to equivariant 4-th Cohomotopy, which classifies the charges carried by M-branes in M-theory in a way that is analogous to the traditional idea that complex K-theory classifies the charges of D-branes in string theory. In this paper we compute quasi-elliptic cohomology of 4-spheres under the action by some finite subgroups that are the most interesting isotropy groups where the M5-branes may sit.

Twisted Real quasi-elliptic cohomology

In this paper we construct twisted Real quasi-elliptic cohomology as the twisted KR-theory of loop groupoids. The theory systematically incorporates loop rotation and reflection. After establishing basic properties of the theory, we construct twisted elliptic Pontryagin characters and, without twists, Real analogues of the string power operation of quasi-elliptic cohomology. We also explore the relation of the theory to the Tate curve.

2-Representations of Lie 2-groups and 2-Vector Bundles

We develop a systematic 2-representation theory for coherent Lie 2-groups and its geometric incarnation via 2-vector bundles. For any coherent Lie 2-group $\mathcal{G}_{\bullet}$, we construct a bicategory 2Rep$(\mathcal{G}_{\bullet})$ of 2-representations valued in $k$-prelinear categories, and prove that biequivalent 2-groups induce biequivalent 2-representation bicategories. When $\mathcal{G}_{\bullet}$ arises from an action groupoid $H \ltimes G \rightrightarrows G$, we construct a functor from the category of faithful $H$-representations to 2Rep$(\mathcal{G}_{\bullet})$ that is injective on objects. Applied to the string 2-group String$_k(G)$, this yields, for each positive energy representation of the loop group, an associated 2-representation of the string 2-group. Geometrically, we construct 2-stacks of 2-vector bundles and principal 2-bundles, and establish an associated bundle construction as a strong transformation of 2-stacks. We further extend this to an equivariant framework over Lie groupoids, providing a foundation for higher gauge theories with symmetries.

Universal Finite Subgroup of the Tate Curve

In their book Katz and Mazur discuss the moduli problem of the subgroup-schemes of elliptic curves. We give the classification of the finite subgroups of the Tate curve before. Moreover, Katz and Mazur define the universal finite subgroup of an elliptic curve. In this paper we give an explicit construction of the universal finite subgroup of the Tate curve via isogenies and the stringy power operation of Tate K-theory.

Twisted equivariant quasi-elliptic cohomology and M-brane charge

In this paper we construct a twisted version of quasi-elliptic cohomology. This theory can be constructed as a K-theory of a loop space. After establishing basic properties of the theory, including restriction, change-of-group and induction maps, we construct the Chern character map. And we compute the twisted quasi-elliptic cohomology theories of representation 4-spheres acted by the finite subgroups of SU(2), which, as conjectured by Sati and Schreiber, can produce good observables on M-brane charge in a Tate-elliptic enhancement of D-brane charge in twisted equivariant K-theory.

Level structures on $p$-divisible groups from the Morava $E$-theory of abelian groups

The close relationship between the scheme of level structures on the universal deformation of a formal group and the Morava $E$-cohomology of finite abelian groups has played an important role in the study of power operations for Morava $E$-theory. The goal of this paper is to explore the relationship between level structures on the $p$-divisible group given by the trivial extension of the universal deformation by a constant $p$-divisible group and the Morava $E$-cohomology of the iterated free loop space of the classifying space of a finite abelian group.

Almost Global Homotopy Theory

In this paper we develop the definition of a global orthogonal spectrum and its unitary version. It relates $G-$equivariant spectra by equivariant weak equivalence in a coherent way. This category of global spectra has a model structure Quillen equivalent to the global model structure on orthogonal spectra. We also show that there is a large family of equivariant cohomology theories, including quasi-elliptic cohomology, that can be globalized in the new context. Starting from one global ring spectrum, we can construct infinitely many distinct global ring spectra. Moreover, in light of the results in this paper, we ask whether we have the conjecture that the globalness of a cohomology theory is completely determined by the formal component of its divisible group and when the $\acute{e}$tale component of it varies the globalness does not change.

Quasi-theories and their equivariant orthogonal spectra

In this paper we construct orthogonal $G-$spectra up to a weak equivalence for the quasi-theory $QE_{n, G}^*(-)$ corresponding to certain cohomology theories $E$. The construction of the orthogonal $G-$spectrum for quasi-elliptic cohomology can be applied to the constructions for quasi-theories.

Quasi-theories

In this paper we define a family of theories, quasi-theories, motivated by quasi-elliptic cohomology. They can be defined from constant loop spaces. With them, the constructions on certain theories can be made in a neat way, such as those on generalized Tate K-theories. We set up quasi-theories and discuss their properties.

Quasi-Elliptic Cohomology I

Quasi-elliptic cohomology is a variant of elliptic cohomology theories. It is the orbifold K-theory of a space of constant loops. For global quotient orbifolds, it can be expressed in terms of equivariant K-theories. Thus, the constructions on it can be made in a neat way. This theory reflects the geometric nature of the Tate curve. In this paper we provide a systematic introduction of its construction and definition.

Quasi-Elliptic Cohomology and its Power Operations

Quasi-elliptic cohomology is a variant of Tate K-theory. It is the orbifold K-theory of a space of constant loops. For global quotient orbifolds, it can be expressed in terms of equivariant K-theories. In this paper we show how this theory is equipped with power operations. We also prove that the Tate K-theory of symmetric groups modulo a certain transfer ideal classify the finite subgroups of the Tate curve.

Quasi-elliptic cohomology and its Spectrum

Ginzburg, Kapranov and Vasserot conjectured the existence of equivariant elliptic cohomology theories. In this paper, to give a description of equivariant spectra of the theories, we study an intermediate theory, quasi-elliptic cohomology. We formulate a new category of orthogonal G-spectra and construct explicitly an orthogonal G-spectrum of quasi-elliptic cohomology in it. The idea of the construction can be applied to a family of equivariant cohomology theories, including Tate K-theory and generalized Morava E-theories. Moreover, this construction provides a functor from the category of global spectra to the category of orthogonal G-spectra. In addition, from it we obtain some new idea what global homotopy theory is right for constructing global elliptic cohomology theory.
