Let $P$ be a pseudogroup of local diffeomorphisms of an $n$-dimensional smooth manifold $M$. Following Losik we consider characteristic classes of the quotient $M/P$ as elements of the de~Rham cohomology of the second order frame bundles…

We compare three definitions of the equivariant cohomological dimension of a group with operators, coming from Takasu, Adamson and Bredon relative group cohomologies, giving examples of strict inequality in all cases where it can occur. We…

The main goal of this work is to construct and study a reasonable compactification of the strata of the moduli space of Abelian differentials. This allows us to compute the Kodaira dimension of some strata of the moduli space of Abelian…

For a discrete group G, we represent the Bredon cohomology with local coefficients as the homotopy classes of maps in the category of equivaraint crossed complexes. Subsequently, we construct a naive parametrized G-spectrum, such that the…

We survey old and new results about the cohomology of the moduli space $A_g$ of principally polarized abelian varieties of genus $g$ and its compactifications. The main emphasis lies on the computation of the cohomology for small genus and…

We initiate the study of analogues of symmetric spaces for the family of finite dihedral groups. In particular, we investigate the structure of the automorphism group, characterize the involutions of the automorphism group, and determine…

Given a group $G$ and an integer $n\geq 0$ we consider the family $\mathcal{F}_n$ of all virtually abelian subgroups of $G$ of rank at most $n$. In this article we prove that for each $n\ge2$ the Bredon cohomology, with respect to the…

We compute the dimensions of the Hochschild cohomology of symmetric groups over prime fields in low degrees. This involves us in studying some partition identities and generating functions of the dimensions in any fixed degree of the…

In this note we show the Bredon-analogue of a result by Emmanouil and Talelli, which gives a criterion when the homological and cohomological dimensions of a countable group $G$ agree. We also present some applications to groups of…

We give the characterisation of cohomological dimension of group homomorphisms. In particular, we show the analogue of the Stallings-Swan theorem in the case of group epimorphisms.

This paper is motivated by recent developments in group stability, high dimensional expansion, local testability of error correcting codes and topological property testing. In Part I, we formulate and motivate three stability problems: 1.…

The paper has three parts. It is conjectured that for every elementary amenable group G and every non-zero commutative ring k, the homological dimension of G over k is equal to the Hirsch length of G whenever G has no k-torsion. In Part I…

By considering the Bredon analogue of complete cohomology of a group, we show that every group in the class $\LHFF$ of type Bredon-$\FP_\infty$ admits a finite dimensional model for $\EFG$. We also show that abelian-by-infinite cyclic…

We study the problem of determining, for a polynomial function $f$ on a vector space $V$, the linear transformations $g$ of $V$ such that $f g = f$. In case $f$ is invariant under a simple algebraic group $G$ acting irreducibly on $V$, we…

This is a pedagogical exposition of holonomy groups intended for physicists. After some pertinent definitions, we focus on special holonomy manifolds, two per division algebras, and comment upon several cases of interest in physics,…

Coboundary expansion (with $\mathbb{F}_2$ coefficients), and variations on it, have been the focus of intensive research in the last two decades. It was used to study random complexes, property testing, and above all Gromov's topological…

We study graph complexes related to configuration spaces and diffeomorphism groups of highly connected manifolds of odd dimension. In particular we compute the cohomology in the "high genus" limit. This paper is a continuation of previous…

We obtain the equivariant K-homology of the classifying space \underline{E}W for W a right-angled or, more generally, an even Coxeter group. The key result is a formula for the relative Bredon homology of \underline{E}W in terms of Coxeter…

For some numerical semigroup rings of small embedding dimension, namely those of embedding dimension 3, and symmetric or pseudosymmetric of embedding dimension 4, presentations has been determined in the literature. We extend these results…

In high dimension, low sample size (HDLSS) settings, classifiers based on Euclidean distances like the nearest neighbor classifier and the average distance classifier perform quite poorly if differences between locations of the underlying…
