Let T_{n,k}(X) be the characteristic polynomial of the n-th Hecke operator acting on the space of cusp forms of weight k for the full modular group. We show that if there exists n>1 such that T_{n,k}(X) is irreducible and has the full…

Using superspace techniques we construct the general theory describing D=4, N=2 supergravity coupled to an arbitrary number of vector and scalar--tensor multiplets. The scalar manifold of the theory is the direct product of a special…

In this article we study some properties of the discrete convolution of Liouville function $S(n):=\sum_{m_{1}+m_{2}=n}\lambda\left(m_{1}\right)\lambda\left(m_{2}\right)$, which is a Goldbach-type counting function of representations. In…

For matrix analogues of embedded surfaces we define discrete curvatures and Euler characteristics, and a non-commutative Gauss--Bonnet theorem is shown to follow. We derive simple expressions for the discrete Gauss curvature in terms of…

We discuss the formalism of tautological characteristic classes of flat bundles. Applied to $PSL(2,K)$ it yields the Witt class of Nekovar. Applied to $PGL_+(2n,K)$, the general linear groups with positive determinant over an arbitrary…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We say that a polynomial automorphism f : K^n -> K^n is special if the Jacobian of f is equal to 1. We show that every (n - 1)-dimensional component H of the set Fix(f) of fixed…

Let A be an associative complex algebra and L an invariant linear functional on it (trace). Let i be an involutive antiautomorphism of A such that L(i(a))=L(a) for any a in A. Then A admits a symmetric invariant bilinear form (a, b)=L(a…

Haken n-manifolds have been defined and studied by B. Foozwell and H. Rubinstein in analogy with the classical Haken manifolds of dimension 3, based upon the the theory of boundary patterns developed by K. Johannson. The Euler…

H. Fischbacher-Weitz and B. K\"ock computed the equivariant Euler characteristic of a $G-$sheaf on a $G$-curve $X$ over a field. Using a form of the Riemann-Roch theorem for quotient stacks proved by the second author we extend their…

We investigate the cohomology of the Milnor fibre of a reflection arrangement as a module for the group $\Gamma$ generated by the reflections, together with the cyclic monodromy. Although we succeed completely only for unitary reflection…

We present a systematic study of ${\cal N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric non-linear sigma models on $S^2$ with the target being a K\"ahler manifold. We discuss their reformulation in terms of cohomological field theory. In the cohomological…

We construct new families of discrete vector orthogonal polynomials that have the property to be eigenfunctions of some difference operator. They are extensions of Charlier, Meixner and Kravchuk polynomial systems. The ideas behind our…

We consider the generalized eigenvalue problem for the classical Euler differential equation and demonstrate its intimate connection with Meijer's $G$-functions. In the course of deriving the solution of the generalized Euler eigenvalue…

We explore some of the special features with respect to Bredon cohomology of groups having all its finite subgroups either nilpotent or p-groups or cyclic p-groups. We get some results on dimensions and also a formula for the equivariant…

We show that the virtual Euler characteristics of the moduli spaces of $s$-pointed algebraic curves of genus $g$ can be determined from a polynomial in $1/\gamma$ where $\gamma$ permits specialization, through $\gamma=1,$ to the complex…
