If a finite group $G$ acts on a rational homology manifold, then the orbit space is well-known to be a rational homology manifold again. We consider here actions on spaces that may be much more singular. If the $G$-space is a Witt…

We study some automorphic cohomology classes of degree one on the Griffiths-Schmid varieties attached to some unitary groups in 3 variables. Using partial compactifications of those varieties, constructed by K. Kato and S. Usui, we define…

A Q-manifold is a graded manifold endowed with a vector field of degree one squaring to zero. We consider the notion of a Q-bundle, that is, a fiber bundle in the category of Q-manifolds. To each homotopy class of ``gauge fields'' (sections…
