Let $G$ be a simple linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p \geqslant 0$, let $H$ be a proper closed subgroup of $G$ and let $V$ be a nontrivial finite dimensional irreducible rational $KG$-module.…

We show that finite-dimensional Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero such that the second cohomology group in every finite-dimensional module vanishes, are, essentially, semisimple.

We compute the Hochschild cohomology algebras of Ringel-self-dual blocks of polynomial representations of $\GL_2$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>2$, that is, of any block whose number of simple modules is a power of…

We calculate the cohomology of $\mathfrak{sl}_3(k)$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>3$ with coefficients in simple modules and Weyl modules. We also give descriptions of the corresponding cohomology of…

A closed subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group is called irreducible if it lies in no proper parabolic subgroup. In this paper we classify all irreducible subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups $G$ which are connected, closed and…

We generalize the theory of the second invariant cohomology group $H^2_{\rm inv}(G)$ for finite groups $G$, developed in [Da2,Da3,GK], to the case of affine algebraic groups $G$, using the methods of [EG1,EG2,G]. In particular, we show that…

In [5], the notion of polynomial cocycles is used to give an expression for the second cohomology of T-groups with coefficients in a torsion-free nilpotent module. We make this expression concrete in the case of a T-group G of nilpotency…

For D an infinite set, k>1 and W the set of k-sets from D, there is a natural closed permutation group G_k which is a non-split extension of \mathbb{Z}_2^W by \Sym(D). We classify the closed subgroups of G_k which project onto \Sym(D)$. The…

The l-adic parabolic cohomology groups attached to noncongruence subgroups of SL_2(Z) are finite-dimensional representations of Gal(Qbar/F) for some number field F. We exhibit examples (with F=Q) giving rise to Galois representations whose…

Using techniques developed in a recent article by the authors, it is proved that the 2-cohomology of the Lie superalgebra sl(m|1); m > 1, with coefficients in its enveloping algebra is trivial. The obstacles in solving the analogous problem…

Over a field of characteristic $p>2,$ the first cohomology of the 3-dimensional simple Lie algebra $\frak{sl}(2)$ with coefficients in all simple modules is determined, which implies Whitehead's first lemma is not true in prime…

Let $G=G_1 \times G_2$ be a finite group. We know that the second cohomology group $H^2(G,\mathbb C^\times)$ is isomorphic to $H^2(G_1,\mathbb C^\times) \times H^2(G_2,\mathbb C^\times) \times Hom(G_1/G_1' \otimes_\mathbb Z G_2/G_2',…

Let $G$ be the group scheme $SL_2$ defined over a noetherian ring $k$. If $G$ acts on a finitely generated commutative $k$-algebra $A$, then $H^*(G,A)$ is a finitely generated $k$-algebra.

Let $SL_2$ be the rank one simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. The paper presents a new method for computing the dimension of the cohomology spaces $\text{H}^n(SL_2,V(m))$ for Weyl…

We prove analogues of the fundamental theorem of algebraic K-theory for the second and third homology of SL_2 over an infinite field k. The statements involve Milnor-Witt K-theory and scissors congruence groups. We use these results to…

We compute the mod $p$ cohomology algebra of a family of infinite discrete Kac-Moody groups of rank two defined over finite fields of characteristic different from $p$.

In this paper we study the cohomology of (strict) Lie 2-groups. We obtain an explicit Bott-Shulman type map in the case of a Lie 2-group corresponding to the crossed module $A\to 1$. The cohomology of the Lie 2-groups corresponding to the…

We develop a mechanism for classication of isomorphism types of non-trivial semisimple Hopf algebras whose group of grouplikes $G(H)$ is abelian of prime index $p$ which is the smallest prime divisor of $|G(H)|$. We describe structure of…

We give an algebraic proof for the result of Eilenberg and Mac Lane that the second cohomology group of a simplicial group G can be computed as a quotient of a fibre product involving the first two homotopy groups and the first Postnikov…

Let $G$ be a split reductive group over a local field $\bK$, and let $G((t))$ be the corresponding loop group. In \cite{GK} we have introduced the notion of a representation of (the group of $\bK$-points) of $G((t))$ on a pro-vector space.…
