It is proved that the third Mac Lane cohomology group of a ring R with coefficients in a bimodule B classifies categorical rings having R as the ring of isomorphism classes of objects and B as the bimodule of automorphisms of the neutral…

We define the Hochschild (co)homology of a ringed space relative to a locally free Lie algebroid. Our definitions mimic those of Swan and Caldararu for an algebraic variety. We show that our (co)homology groups can be computed using…

The goal of this paper is to classify all minimal monads whose cohomology is a stable rank 2 bundle on $\mathbb{P}^3$ with Chern classes $c_1=0$ and $c_2=9$, with possible exception of two non-negative minimal monads, and thus we extend the…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g\geq 2$ over the complex numbers. Fix $n\geq 2$, and an integer $d$. A pair $(E,\phi)$ over $X$ consists of an algebraic vector bundle $E$ of rank $n$ and degree $d$ over $X$ and a section…

We give a few simple methods to geometically describe some polygon and chain-spaces in R^d. They are strong enough to give tables of m-gons and m-chains when m <= 6.

We consider the moduli space of flat $SO(2n+1)$-connections (up to gauge transformations) on a Riemann surface, with fixed holonomy around a marked point. There are natural line bundles over this moduli space; we construct geometric…

We consider the moduli spaces $\mathcal{M}_d(\ell)$ of a closed linkage with n links and prescribed lengths in d-dimensional Euclidean space. For d>3 these spaces are no longer manifolds generically, but they have the structure of a…

We prove that the cohomology rings of the moduli space $M_{d,\chi}$ of one-dimensional sheaves on the projective plane are not isomorphic for general different choices of the Euler characteristics. This stands in contrast to the…

We compute the group cohomology of $32\Gamma_3f$, a certain group of order 32. For this we construct explicit cocycle representatives of the cohomology generators. We thus lay to rest a discrepancy between several published computations of…

In this paper we present the notion of de Rham cohomology with compact support for diffeological spaces. Moreover we shall discuss the existence of three long exact sequences. As a concrete example, we show that long exact sequences exist…

We prove that the cyclic homology of a scheme with an ample line bundle coincides with the cyclic homology of its category of algebraic vector bundles. As a byproduct of the proof, we obtain a new construction of the Chern character of a…

We propose a new method of computing cohomology groups of spaces of knots in $\R^n$, $n \ge 3$, based on the topology of configuration spaces and two-connected graphs, and calculate all such classes of order $\le 3.$ As a byproduct we…

We determine the mod $2$ cohomology over the Steenrod algebra of the classifying spaces of the free loop groups $LG$ for compact groups $G=Spin(7)$, $Spin(8)$, $Spin(9)$, and $F_4$. Then, we show that they are isomorphic as algebras over…

Let M be a moduli space of stable vector bundles on a curve with rank and degree fixed and coprime. We give a simple proof that the rational cohomology of M is generated by the Kunneth components of the Chern classes of the universal…

Let X be a compact connected Riemann surface of genus at least two. Let r be a prime number and \xi a holomorphic line bundle on it such that r is not a divisor of degree(\xi). Let {\mathcal M}_\xi(r) denote the moduli space of stable…

In this paper we consider classifying spaces of a family of $p$-groups and we prove that mod $p$ cohomology enriched with Bockstein spectral sequences determines their homotopy type among $p$-completed CW-complexes. We end with some…

We describe the main properties of the $RO(C_2\times \Sigma_2)$-graded cohomology ring of a point and apply the results to compute the subring of motivic classes given by the Bredon motivic cohomology of real numbers and to compute…

We develop homological techniques for finding explicit combinatorial expressions of finite-type cohomology classes of spaces of knots in $R^n, n \ge 3,$ generalizing Polyak--Viro formulas for invariants (i.e. 0-dimensional cohomology…

Chen and Ruan [6] defined a very interesting cohomology theory for orbifolds, which is now called Chen-Ruan cohomology. The primary objective of this paper is to compute the Chen-Ruan cohomology rings of the weighted projective spaces, a…

Let $(X,\,D)$ be an $m$-pointed compact Riemann surface of genus at least $2$. For each $x \,\in\, D$, fix full flag and concentrated weight system $\alpha$. Let $P \mathcal{M}_{\xi}$ denote the moduli space of semi-stable parabolic vector…
