Let G be a connected Lie group, G^d the underlying discrete group, and BG, BG^d their classifying spaces. Let R denote the radical of G. We show that all classes in the image of the canonical map in cohomology H^*(BG,R)->H^*(BG^d,R) are…

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a field k and let B be a Borel subgroup in G. We demonstrate how a number of results on the cohomology of line bundles on the flag manifold G/B have had interesting consequences in the…

For a compact Lie group G we show that if the representing spectrum for Borel cohomology generates its category of modules if G is connected. For a closed subgroup H of G we consider the map C^*(BG)--->C^*(BH) and establish the sense in…

We give a construction of the moduli space of stable maps to the classifying stack B\mu_r of a cyclic group by a sequence of r-th root constructions on M_{0, n}. We prove a closed formula for the total Chern class of \mu_r-eigenspaces of…

Let $G$ be a simple simply connected group scheme defined over ${\mathbb F}_{p}$ and $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Moreover, let $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ and $U$ be the unipotent radical of $B$. In this…

Let G be a connected complex Lie group. We show that any flat principal G-bundle over any finite CW-complex pulls back to a trivial bundle over some finite covering space of the base space if and only if each real characteristic class of…

We study cocycles of countable groups $\Gamma$ of Borel automorphisms of a standard Borel space $(X, \mathcal{B})$ taking values in a locally compact second countable group $G$. We prove that for a hyperfinite group $\Gamma$ the subgroup of…

A fundamental problem at the confluence of algebraic geometry and representation theory is to describe the cohomology of line bundles on flag varieties over a field of characteristic p. When p=0, the solution is given by the celebrated…

This note presents a general theorem about the cohomology of finite dimensional Lie algebras of arbitrary characteristic. As an application we compute the cohomology of the Borel subalgebra of sl(N).

We establish a theorem computing the cohomology groups of line bundles on homogeneous ind-varieties $G/B$ for diagonal ind-groups $G$. The main difficulty in proving this analog of the classical Bott-Borel-Weil theorem is in defining an…

We exhibit a finitely presented group whose second cohomology contains a weakly bounded, but not bounded, class. As an application, we disprove a long-standing conjecture of Gromov about bounded primitives of differential forms on universal…

Let $X$ be a general complete intersection of a given multi-degree in a complex projective space. Suppose that the anti-canonical line bundle of $X$ is ample. Using the cylinder homomorphism associated with the family of complete…

Suppose $L$ is a semisimple Levi subgroup of a connected Lie group~$G$, $X$ is a Borel $G$-space with finite invariant measure, and $\alpha \colon X \times G \to \GL_n(\real)$ is a Borel cocycle. Assume $L$ has finite center, and that the…

Let $G$ be a minimal locally compact groupoid with compact metrizable unit space and let $E$ be a continuous $G$-Hilbert bundle. We show that a bounded continuous cocycle $c: G\ra r^*E$ is necessarily a continuous coboundary. This is a…

Let F be the flag variety of a complex semi-simple group G, let H be an algebraic subgroup of G acting on F with finitely many orbits, and let V be an H-orbit closure in F. Expanding the cohomology class of V in the basis of Schubert…

Suppose G is a connected, simple, real Lie group with real rank at least two, M is an ergodic G-space with invariant probability measure, and f is a Homeo(T)-valued Borel cocycle, where Homeo(T) denotes the group of homeomorphisms of the…

In this manuscript we consider the extent to which an irreducible representation for a reductive Lie group can be realized as the sheaf cohomolgy of an equivariant holomorphic line bundle defined on an open invariant submanifold of a…

We give a definition of differentiable cohomology of a Lie group G (possibly infinite-dimensional) with coefficients in any abelian Lie group. This differentiable cohomology maps both to the cohomology of the group made discrete and to Lie…

We show the following geometric generalization of a classical theorem of W.H. Gottschalk and G.A. Hedlund: a skew action induced by a cocycle of (affine) isometries of a Hilbert space over a minimal dynamics has a continuous invariant…

We review some basic facts on vector fields, in the complex-analytic setting, thus, obtaining a rationality result and an extension of the Birkhoff-Grothendieck theorem, as follows: (1) Let $Z$ be a compact complex manifold endowed with a…
