Let G be a connected reductive complex algebraic group. This paper is devoted to the space Z of meromorphic quasimaps from a curve into an affine spherical G-variety X. The space Z may be thought of as an algebraic model for the loop space…
In this article we study the first, the second and the third homology groups of the elementary group $\textrm{E}_2(A)$, where $A$ is a commutative ring. In particular, we prove a refined Bloch-Wigner type exact sequence over a semilocal…
Let G be a closed subgroup of the isometry group of a proper CAT(0)-space X. We show that if G is non-elementary and contains a rank-one element then its second bounded cohomology group with coefficients in the regular representation is…
The Alexander dual of an arbitrary meet-semilattice is described explicitly. Meet-distributive meet-semilattices whose Alexander dual is level are characterized.
Consider an absolutely simple abelian variety X over a number field K. If the absolute endomorphism ring of X is commutative and satisfies certain parity conditions, then the reduction X_p is absolutely simple for almost all p. Conversely,…
For any 1-reduced simplicial set $K$ we define a canonical, coassociative coproduct on $\Om C(K)$, the cobar construction applied to the normalized, integral chains on $K$, such that any canonical quasi-isomorphism of chain algebras from…
Let G be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0, X an affine symplectic variety equipped with a Hamiltonian action of G. Further, let * be a G-invariant Fedosov star-product on X such that the…
We give a non-negative combinatorial formula, in terms of Littlewood-Richardson numbers, for the homology of the unitary representations of the cyclotomic rational Cherednik algebra, and as a consequence, for the graded Betti numbers for…
Let A be the moduli space of (1,p)-polarised abelian surfaces with a level structure, for p an odd prime. Let X be a desingularisation of any algebraic compactification of A. Then X is simply-connected.
The evaluation of Alexander-Spanier cochains over formal simplices in a topological space leads to a notion of integration of Alexander-Spanier cohomology classes over \v{C}ech homology classes. The integral defines an explicit and…
Let $K$ denote a field, and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. Consider a pair of linear transformations $A:V\to V$ and $A^*:V\to V$ that satisfy both conditions below: (i) There exists a basis for $V$…
We set up a homological algebra for N-complexes, which are graded modules together with a degree -1 endomorphism d satisfying d^N=0. We define Tor- and Ext-groups for N-complexes and we compute them in terms of their classical counterparts…
We give an example of a locally compact effective Hausdorff, minimal ample groupoid such that its rational homology differs from the $K$-theory of its reduced groupoid $C^*$-algebra. Moreover, we prove that such example satisfies Matui's…
Let $Q$ be an algebraic group and $V$ a $Q$-module. The index of $V$ is the minimal codimension of the $Q$-orbits in the dual space $V^*$. There is a general inequality, due to Vinberg, relating the index of $V$ and the index of…
The Riemann-Roch theorem on a graph G is related to Alexander duality in combinatorial commutive algebra. We study the lattice ideal given by chip firing on G and the initial ideal whose standard monomials are the G-parking functions. When…
The classical abelian invariants of a knot are the Alexander module, which is the first homology group of the the unique infinite cyclic covering space of S^3-K, considered as a module over the (commutative) Laurent polynomial ring, and the…
For a field $K$ of the second kind with respect to 2 and of characteristic different from 2, we consider the decomposition of the binomials $x^{2^n} - a$ into a product of irreducible factors over $K$ and find the explicit form of the…
Let G be a general (not necessarily finite dimensional compact) Lie group, let g be its Lie algebra, let Cg be the cone on g in the category of differential graded Lie algebras, and consider the functor which assigns to a chain complex V…
Let $E$ be a number field and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected variety defined over a characteristic $p$ finite field. Given an $n$-dimensional pure $E$-compatible system of semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale…
For line arrangements in P^2 with nice combinatorics (in particular, for those which are nodal away the line at infinity), we prove that the combinatorics contains the same information as the fundamental group together with the meridianal…
