Extending Eilenberg-Mac Lane's methods, higher level cohomologies for commutative monoids are introduced and studied. Relationships with pre-existing theories (Leech, Grillet, ...) are stated. The paper includes a cohomological…
We study Chevalley-Eilenberg cohomology of physically relevant Lie superalgebras related to supersymmetric theories, providing explicit expressions for their cocycles in terms of their Maurer-Cartan forms. We then include integral forms in…
We compare three definitions of the equivariant cohomological dimension of a group with operators, coming from Takasu, Adamson and Bredon relative group cohomologies, giving examples of strict inequality in all cases where it can occur. We…
An equivalent description of a symmetric monoidal category is introduced in which, instead of separate associator and commutator isomorphisms satisfying the usual coherence axioms, we simply have associo-commutator isomorphisms satisfying…
In this paper, we introduce and investigate \emph{semicorings} over associative semirings and their categories of \emph{semicomodules.} Our results generalize old and recent results on corings over rings and their categories of comodules.…
Symmetric cohomology of groups, defined by M. Staic in [2], is similar to the way one defines the cyclic cohomology for algebras. We show that there is a well-defined restriction, conjugation and transfer map in symmetric cohomology, which…
Bounded-cohomological dimension of groups is a relative of classical cohomological dimension, defined in terms of bounded cohomology with trivial coefficients instead of ordinary group cohomology. We will discuss constructions that lead to…
On the basis of Brylinski's work, we introduce a notion of equivariant smooth Deligne cohomology group, which is a generalization of both the ordinary smooth Deligne cohomology and the ordinary equivariant cohomology. Using the cohomology…
We investigate the relationship between the symmetric, exterior and classical cohomologies of groups. The first two theories were introduced respectively by Staic and Zarelua. We show in particular, that there is a map from exterior…
Given a semigroup of local homeomorphisms on a compact space X we consider the corresponding semigroup of *-endomorphisms on C(X) and discuss the possibility of extending it to an interaction group, a concept recently introduced by the…
The aim of this manuscript is to give some basic notions related to numerical semigroups, and from these on the one hand describe a classical application to the study of singularities of plane algebraic curves, and on the other, show how…
We use semigroup theory to describe the group of automorphisms of some semigroups of interest in holomorphic dynamical systems. We show, with some examples, that representation theory of semigroups is related to usual constructions in…
The sectional category of a subgroup inclusion $H \hookrightarrow G$ can be defined as the sectional category of the corresponding map between Eilenberg--MacLane spaces. We extend a characterization of topological complexity of aspherical…
The parameter coclass has been used successfully in the study of nilpotent algebraic objects of different kinds. In this paper a definition of coclass for nilpotent semigroups is introduced and semigroups of coclass 0, 1, and 2 are…
We sketch the proof of a connection between the canonical (0-)dimension of semisimple split simply connected groups and cohomology of their full flag varieties. Using this connection, we get a new estimate of the canonical (0-)dimension of…
In this chapter we present transformation semigroups and their applications. We begin with Klein's approach to geometry based on invariants of transformation groups. Then we present symmetry groups in chemistry and in classical mechanics.…
We give an overview of differential cohomology from the point of view of algebraic topology. This includes a survey of several different definitions of differential cohomology groups, a discussion of differential characteristic classes, an…
We study how the partial group (co)homology of a group $G$ with coefficient in a partial representation $M$ can be described using the usual group (co)homology. To address this, we introduce the concept of the \textit{universal…
We determine the group of reductive cohomological degree $3$ invariants of all split semisimple groups of types $B$, $C$, and $D$. We also present a complete description of the cohomological invariants. As an application, we show that the…
We calculate the cohomology rings of a collection of seven dimensional manifolds supporting an S^3 x S^3-action with one dimensional orbit space. These manifolds are of interest to differential geometers studying non-negative and positive…
