In the paper titled "Bockstein basis and resolution theorems in extension theory" (arXiv:0907.0491v2), we stated a theorem that we claimed to be a generalization of the Edwards-Walsh resolution theorem. The goal of this note is to show that…

We extend the definition of Bockstein basis $\sigma(G)$ to nilpotent groups $G$. A metrizable space $X$ is called a {\it Bockstein space} if $\dim_G(X) = \sup\{\dim_H(X) | H\in \sigma(G)\}$ for all Abelian groups $G$. Bockstein First…

We prove the following Theorem: Let X be a nonempty compact metrizable space, let $l_1 \leq l_2 \leq...$ be a sequence of natural numbers, and let $X_1 \subset X_2 \subset...$ be a sequence of nonempty closed subspaces of X such that for…

We prove that for every compactum X with dim_Z X <= n >= 2 there is a cell-like resolution r: Z --> X from a compactum Z onto X such that dim Z <= n and for every integer k and every abelian group G such that dim_G X <= k >= 2 we have dim_G…

We generalize the Bernstein-Walsh-Siciak theorem on polynomial approximation in $\mathbb{C}^n$ to the case where the polynomial ring $\mathcal{P}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ is replaced by a subring $\mathcal{P}^S(\mathbb{C}^n)$ consisting of all…

We show that for each countable simplicial complex P the following conditions are equivalent: (1) $P \in AE(X)$ iff $P \in AE(\beta X)$ for any space X; (2) There exists a P-invertible map of a metrizable compactum X with $P \in AE(X)$ onto…

The Weinstein equation with complex coefficients is the equation governing generalized axisymmetric potentials (GASP) which can be written as $L_m[u]=\Delta u+\left(m/x\right)\partial_x u =0$, where $m\in\mathbb{C}$. We generalize results…

We study central extensions E of elementary abelian 2-groups by elementary abelian 2-groups. Associated to such an extension is a quadratic map which determines the extension uniquely. The components of the map determine a quadratic ideal…

Let G be a connected reductive quasisplit algebraic group over a field L which is a finite extension of the p-adic numbers. We construct an exact sequence modelled on (the dual of) the BGG resolution involving locally analytic principal…

A central extension of the form $E: 0 \to V \to G \to W \to 0$, where $V$ and $W$ are elementary abelian 2-groups, is called Bockstein closed if the components $q_i \in H^*(W, \FF_2)$ of the extension class of $E$ generate an ideal which is…

We resolve the Grothendieck-Serre question over an arbitrary base field $k$: for a smooth $k$-group scheme $G$ and a smooth $k$-variety $X$, we show that every generically trivial $G$-torsor over $X$ trivializes Zariski semilocally on $X$.…

Let $P$ be a Poisson algebra, $E$ a vector space and $\pi : E \to P$ an epimorphism of vector spaces with $V = {\rm Ker} (\pi)$. The global extension problem asks for the classification of all Poisson algebra structures that can be defined…

Let G be a reductive p-adic group. Let $\Phi$ be an invariant distribution on G lying in the Bernstein center Z(G). We prove that $\Phi$ is supported on compact elements in G if and only if it defines a constant function on every component…

We use topological methods to compute the mod p cohomology of certain p-groups. More precisely we look at central Frattini extensions of elementary abelian by elementary abelian groups such that their defining k-invariants span the entire…

We note a link between combinatorial results of Bollob\'as and Leader concerning sumsets in the grid, the Brunn-Minkowski theorem and a result of Freiman and Bilu concerning the structure of sets of integers with small doubling. Our main…

In this paper, we study the representation theory of the universal central extension $\mathcal{G}$ of the infinite-dimensional Galilean conformal algebra, introduced by Bagchi-Gopakumar, in $(2+1)$ dimensional space-time, which was named…

Let G be a split connected reductive group over a local non-archimedean field. We classify all irreducible complex G-representations in the principal series, irrespective of the (dis)connectedness of the centre of G. This leads to a local…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a complete non-Archimedean field $K$. The universal cover of the Berkovich space attached to $A$ reflects the reduction behaviour of $A$. In this paper the universal cover of the universal vector extension…

Let K be a finitely generated field over Q, and A an abelian variety over K. Let <, > : A(K^a) x A(K^a) --> R be an arithmetic height pairing on A, where K^a is the algebric closure of K. For x_1,..., x_l \in A(K^a), we denote det(<x_i,…

We prove that for every abelian group G and every compactum X with $\dim_G X \leq n \geq 2$ there is a G-acyclic resolution $r: Z \lo X$ from a compactum Z with $\dim_G Z \leq n$ and $\dim Z \leq n+1$ onto X.
