DG quotients of DG categories
TL;DR: In this paper, Keller introduced a notion of quotient of a differential graded category modulo a full differential graded subcategory which agrees with Verdier's notion of equivalence of a triangulated category modulae.
Journal Article
Tensor products of finite and infinite dimensional representations of semisimple Lie algebras
J. N. Bernstein,S. I. Gelfand +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an agreement with the Foundation Compositio Mathematica which implique l'accord avec les conditions generales d'utilisation (http://www.compositio.org/legal.php).
Book ChapterDOI
Kac-Moody Groups
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an outline of the construction of groups associated to a Kac-Moody Lie algebra with respect to Tits, and show that these groups can be constructed as the amalgamated product of these groups.

On the K-theory of finite algebras over witt vectors of perfect fields
Lars Hesselholt,Ib Madsen +1 more
TL;DR: Topological cyclic homology of W (k)-algebras is studied in this paper, where the topological Hochschild spectrum is represented by pointed monoids.
MonographDOI
Fundamental Groups of Compact Kähler Manifolds
TL;DR: The de Rham fundamental group of Kahler manifolds and groups is a fundamental group for infinite groups as discussed by the authors, which is a type of Hodge theory for fibering Kahler manifold and groups.
