A 2-plectic manifold is a manifold equipped with a closed nondegenerate 3-form, just as a symplectic manifold is equipped with a closed nondegenerate 2-form. In 2-plectic geometry we meet higher analogues of many structures familiar from…

In 1994, Orlik and Terao introduced a commutative Artinian analog S/I(A) of the Orlik-Solomon algebra of a hyperplane arrangement A to answer a question of Aomoto. A central topic of investigation in the study of Artinian algebras is the…

Let R be a commutative ring, and let A be a Poisson algebra over R. We construct an (R,A)-Lie algebra structure, in the sense of Rinehart, on the A-module of K\"ahler differentials of A depending naturally on A and the Poisson bracket. This…

It is proved that the broken circuit complex of an ordered matroid is Gorenstein if and only if it is a complete intersection. Several characterizations for a matroid that admits such an order are then given, with particular interest in the…

We compute the cohomology ring of the complement of a toric arrangement with integer coefficients and investigate its dependency from the arrangement's combinatorial data. To this end, we study a morphism of spectral sequences associated to…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $K$ a closed connected subgroup. Assume that the order of any torsion element in the integral cohomology of $G$ and $K$ is invertible in a given principal ideal domain $k$. It is known that in…

We elucidate the key role played by formality in the theory of characteristic and resonance varieties. We define relative characteristic and resonance varieties, V_k and R_k, related to twisted group cohomology with coefficients of…

A real toric space is a topological space which admits a well-behaved $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-action. Real moment-angle complexes and real toric varieties are typical examples of real toric spaces. A real toric space is determined by a pair of a…

Let $\MS_g$ be the moduli space of stable holomorphic vector bundles of rank 2 and fixed determinant of odd degree over a smooth complex projective curve of genus $g$. This paper proves various properties of the rational cohomology ring…

We determine an explicit presentation by generators and relations of the cohomology algebra $H^*(\mathbb P^2\setminus C,\mathbb C)$ of the complement to an algebraic curve $C$ in the complex projective plane $\mathbb P^2$, via the study of…

We give natural descriptions of the homology and cohomology algebras of regular quotient ring spectra of even E-infinity ring spectra. We show that the homology is a Clifford algebra with respect to a certain bilinear form naturally…

An associative algebra is nothing but an odd quadratic codifferential on the tensor coalgebra of a vector space, and an A-infinity algebra is simply an arbitrary odd codifferential. Hochschild cohomology classifies the deformations of an…

We refine a conjecture by Lehrer and Solomon on the structure of the Orlik-Solomon algebra of a finite Coxeter group $W$ and relate it to the descent algebra of $W$. As a result, we claim that both the group algebra of $W$, as well as the…

We study the L-infinity-formality problem for the Hochschild complex of the universal enveloping algebra of some examples of Lie algebras such as Cartan-3-regular quadratic Lie algebras (for example semisimple Lie algebras and in more…

2-group symmetries arise in physics when a 0-form symmetry $G^{[0]}$ and a 1-form symmetry $H^{[1]}$ intertwine, forming a generalised group-like structure. Specialising to the case where both $G^{[0]}$ and $H^{[1]}$ are compact, connected,…

We provide a unique normal form for rank two irregular connections on the Riemann sphere.In fact, we provide a birational model where we introduce apparent singular points and where the bundlehas a fixed Birkhoff-Grothendieck decomposition.…

Originally motivated by connections to integrable systems, two natural subalgebras of the rational Cherednik algebra have been considered in the literature. The first is the subalgebra of all degree zero elements and the second is the Dunkl…

First, I construct an isomorphism between the categories of (topological) groups of nilpotency class 2 with 2-divisible center and (topological) Lie rings of nilpotency class 2 with 2-divisible center. That isomorphism allows us to…

Over the complex numbers, the complement of a collection of hyperplanes is a widely-studied object; the cohomology ring, in particular, is known to have a structure depending only on the combinatorial properties of the intersection of…

We give a criterion for the Kostant-Kirillov form on an adjoint orbit in a real semisimple Lie group to be exact. We explicitly compute the second cohomology of all the nilpotent adjoint orbits in every complex simple Lie algebras.
