Let $\bk $ be a field of characteristic $p\geq 0$ and $X$ a simply connected finite CW complex. In this text, we prove that: {\sl if the cohomology algebra $H^*(X;\bk)$ is generated, as an algebra, by at least two linearly independent…

The aim of the article is to show that there are many finite extensions of arithmetic groups which are not residually finite. Suppose $G$ is a simple algebraic group over the rational numbers satisfying both strong approximation, and the…

Let $G$ be a discrete group. We give a decomposition theorem for the Hochschild cohomology of $\ell^1(G)$ with coefficients in certain $G$-modules. Using this we show that if $G$ is commutative-transitive, the canonical inclusion of bounded…

The idea that the cohomology of finite groups might be fruitfully approached via the cohomology of ambient semisimple algebraic groups was first shown to be viable in the papers [CPS75] and [CPSvdK77]. The second paper introduced, through a…

Let $G$ be a group which is the semidirect product of a normal subgroup $N$ and a subgroup $T$, and let $M$ be a $G$-module with not necessarily trivial $G$-action. Then we embed the simultaneous restriction map $res=(res^G_N,res^G_T)^t :…

Building on previous work by Lambert, Plagne and the third author, we study various aspects of the behavior of additive bases in infinite abelian groups and semigroups. We show that, for every infinite abelian group $T$, the number of…

Let G be a semisimple Lie group with associated symmetric space D, and let Gamma subset G be a cocompact arithmetic group. Let L be a lattice inside a Z Gamma-module arising from a rational finite-dimensional complex representation of G.…

Higher order cohomology of arithmetic groups is expressed in terms of (g,K)-cohomology. Generalizing results of Borel, it is shown that the latter can be computed using functions of (uniform) moderate growth. A higher order versions of…

Let $\pi$ be a set of primes containing $2$ and an odd prime $p$. It is proved that if a finite group $G$ has a Hall $\pi$-subgroup $H$, then the non-$p$-soluble length of $G$ is bounded above by the generalized Fitting height of $H$. The…

We establish that for the type I Lie superalgebras $sl(m/n)$ and $osp(2/2n)$, each Kac module admits a 1 parameter family of indecomposable double extensions. The result follows from the explicit evaluation of the $H^1$ Lie superalgebra…

Many integer sequences arise as numbers of $G$-orbits on $\binom{X}{n}$ as $n$ varies, for a permutation group $G\subseteq \operatorname{Sym}(X)$. For finite $X$, Stanley proved that these finite sequences increase towards the middle using…

Let k be a finite field, a global field or a local non-archimedean field. Let H_1 and H_2 be two split, connected, semisimple algebraic groups defined over k. We prove that if H_1 and H_2 share the same set of maximal k-tori up to…

Let $U_1, U_2$ be connected commutative unipotent algebraic groups defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a bimultiplicative $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_\ell$-local system on $U_1\times…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ a finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Building on recent work of Breuil, Herzig, Hu, Morra and Schraen, we study the smooth mod $p$ representations of $\mathrm{GL}_2(K)$ appearing in a tower of…

Let $G$ be a countable group acting properly on a metric space with contracting elements and $\{H_i:1\le i\le n\}$ be a finite collection of Morse subgroups in $G$. We prove that each $H_i$ has infinite index in $G$ if and only if the…

For a reductive group $G$ over a finite field $k$, and a smooth projective curve $X/k$, we give a motivic counting formula for the number of absolutely indecomposable $G$-bundles on $X$. We prove that the counting can be expressed via the…

Let $G$ be an acylindrically hyperbolic group on a $\delta$-hyperbolic space $X$. Assume there exists $M$ such that for any finite generating set $S$ of $G$, the set $S^M$ contains a hyperbolic element on $X$. Suppose that $G$ is…

We get asymptotics for the volume of large balls in an arbitrary locally compact group G with polynomial growth. This is done via a study of the geometry of G and a generalization of P. Pansu's thesis. In particular, we show that any such G…

Let F be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p. The third author and Will Turner gave an explicit description of the extension algebra of Weyl modules for GL_2(F). This, in particular, produced an explicit basis. We…

Let $F$ be a field of characteristic $p$. We show that $\Hom_{F\Sigma_n}(S^\lambda, S^\mu)$ can have arbitrarily large dimension as $n$ and $p$ grow, where $S^\lambda$ and $S^\mu$ are Specht modules for the symmetric group $\Sigma_n$.…
