Formality of derived intersections

We study derived intersections of smooth analytic cycles, and provide in some cases necessary and sufficient conditions for this intersection be formal. In particular, if X is a complex submanifold of a complex manifold Y, we prove that X can be quantized if and only if the derived intersection of XxX and \Delta_Y is formal in D(XxX).Comment: A mistake has been corrected in Section

On a conjecture of Kashiwara relating Chern and Euler classes of O-modules

In this note we prove a conjecture of Kashiwara, which states that the Euler class of a coherent analytic sheaf F on a complex manifold X is the product of the Chern character of F with the Todd class of X. As a corollary, we obtain a functorial proof of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem in Hodge cohomology for complex manifolds.Comment: Final versio

Infinitesimal deformations of rational surface automorphisms

If $X$ is a rational surface without nonzero holomorphic vector field and $f$ is an automorphism of $X$, we study in several examples the Zariski tangent space of the local deformation space of the pair $(X, f)$.Comment: Final versio

Variation of the holomorphic determinant bundle

In this paper, we prove that the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch formula in Deligne cohomology computing the determinant of the cohomology of a holomorphic vector bundle on the fibers of a proper submersion between abstract complex manifolds is invariant by deformation of the bundle.Comment: Comments are welcom

Chern classes in Deligne cohomology for coherent analytic sheaves

In this article, we construct Chern classes in rational Deligne cohomology for coherent sheaves on a smooth complex compact manifold. We prove that these classes verify the functoriality property under pullbacks, the Whitney formula and the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem for projective morphisms between smooth complex compact manifolds.Comment: Minor change

Automorphisms of rational surfaces with positive entropy

final versionInternational audienceA complex compact surface which carries an automorphism of positive topological entropy has been proved by Cantat to be either a torus, a K3 surface, an Enriques surface or a rational surface. Automorphisms of rational surfaces are quite mysterious and have been recently the object of intensive studies. In this paper, we construct several new examples of automorphisms of rational surfaces with positive topological entropy. We also explain how to define and to count parameters in families of birational maps of the complex projective plane and in families of rational surfaces

Loci in strata of meromorphic differentials with fully degenerate Lyapunov spectrum

International audienceWe construct explicit closed GL(2, R)-invariant loci in strata of meromorphic differentials of arbitrary large dimension with fully degenerate Lyapunov spectrum. This answers a question of Forni-Matheus-Zorich
