We make explicit some conditions on a semi-abelian category D such that, for any abelian group A in D and any object Y in D, the cohomology group homomorphisms with coefficients in A, induced by the inclusion of the abelian objects of D at…
We study branched covers of curves with specified ramification points, under a notion of equivalence derived from linear series. In characteristic 0, no non-constant families of covers with fixed ramification points exist. In positive…
For quasi-projective varieties over a higher local field $k_N$, we prove that its $K$-groups, above a suitable degree, are divisible-by-finite. We also prove the finiteness of the prime-to-$p$ torsion subgroup of certain higher Chow groups…
The union of a directed family of topological groups can be equipped with two noteworthy topologies: the finest topology making each injection continuous, and the finest group topology making each injection continuous. This begs the…
Group cohomology of polynomial growth is defined for any finitely generated discrete group, using cochains that have polynomial growth with respect to the word length function. We give a geometric condition that guarantees that it agrees…
We prove a cohomological property for a class of finite $p$-groups introduced earlier by M. Y. Xu, which we call semi-abelian $p$-groups. This result implies that a semi-abelian $p$-group has non-inner automorphisms of order $p$, which…
We show that the logarithmic version of the syntomic cohomology of Fontaine and Messing for semistable varieties over $p$-adic rings extends uniquely to a cohomology theory for varieties over $p$-adic fields that satisfies $h$-descent. This…
Given a CW-complex A we define an `A-shaped' homology theory which behaves nicely towards A-homotopy groups allowing the generalization of many classical results. We also develop a relative version of the Federer spectral sequence for…
In this note we extend some of the results of a previous paper \url{arXiv:math/0511593} to algebraically closed fields of finite characteristic. In particular, we show that there is an explicit expression in $n$ and $d$ which is divisible…
We introduce and investigate notions of persistent homology for p-groups and for coclass trees of p-groups. Using computer techniques we show that persistent homology provides fairly strong homological invariants for p-groups of order at…
Given a smooth and separated K(pi,1) variety X over a field k, we associate a "cycle class" in etale cohomology with compact supports to any continuous section of the natural map from the arithmetic fundamental group of X to the absolute…
We study cohomology for $p$-local finite groups with non-constant coefficient systems. In particular we show that under certain restrictions there exists a cohomology transfer map in this context, and deduce the standard consequences.
Lazard showed in his seminal work "Groupes analytiques $p$-adiques" that for rational coefficients continuous group cohomology of $p$-adic Lie-groups is isomorphic to Lie-algebra cohomology. We refine this result in two directions: firstly…
Using aritmethic conditions on affine semigroups we prove that for a simplicial toric variety of codimension 2 the property of being a set-theoretic complete intersection on binomials in characteristic $p$ holds either for all primes $p$,…
Recently, symmetric categorical groups are used for the study of the Brauer groups of symmetric monoidal categories. As a part of these efforts, some algebraic structures of the 2-category of symmetric categorical groups $\mathrm{SCG}$ are…
Over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$, we construct a ``Witt vector cohomology with compact supports'' for separated $k$-schemes of finite type, extending (after tensorisation with $\mathbb{Q}$) the classical theory for proper…
There are characteristic classes that are the obstructions to the vanishing of the differentials in the Lyndon-Hochischild-Serre spectral sequence of an extension of an integral lattice L by a group G. These characteristic classes exist in…
It is known that the etale cohomology of a potentially good abelian variety over a local field K is determined by its Euler factors over the extensions of K. We extend this to all abelian varieties, show that it is enough to take extensions…
This article introduces and studies the tight approximation property, a property of algebraic varieties defined over the function field of a complex or real curve that refines the weak approximation property (and the known cohomological…
The Hochschild cohomology of a differential graded algebra, or a differential graded category, admits a natural map to the graded center of its homology category: the characteristic homomorphism. We interpret it as an edge homomorphism in a…
