Over a local ring $R$, the theory of cohomological support varieties attaches to any bounded complex $M$ of finitely generated $R$-modules an algebraic variety $V_R(M)$ that encodes homological properties of $M$. We give lower bounds for…

We define inductively a sequence of purely algebraic invariants - namely, classes in the Quillen cohomology of the Pi-algebra \pi_* X - for distinguishing between different homotopy types of spaces. Another sequence of such cohomology…

A periodic cell complex, $K$, has a finite representation as the quotient space, $q(K)$, consisting of equivalence classes of cells identified under the translation group acting on $K$. We study how the Betti numbers and cycles of $K$ are…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a projective birational morphism, between complex quasi-projective varieties. Fix a bivariant class $\theta \in H^0(X\stackrel{f}\to Y)\cong Hom_{D^{b}_{c}(Y)}(Rf_*\mathbb A_X, \mathbb A_Y)$ (here $\mathbb A$ is a…

Since 2005 a new powerful invariant of an algebra emerged using earlier work of Horv\'ath, H\'ethelyi, K\"ulshammer and Murray. The authors studied Morita invariance of a sequence of ideals of the centre of a finite dimensional algebra over…

Modified Derksen invariant HD*(X) of an affine variety X is a subalgebra in K[X] generated by kernels of all locally nilpotent derivations of K[X] with slices. If there is a locally nilpotent derivation of K[X] with a slice then X is a…

We compute explicit homological invariants of a trimmed graded double Ore extension of the quantum plane. For a pilot family of type (14641), we determine the minimal graded free resolution and graded Betti numbers of the trivial right…

For any open, connected and bounded set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb C^m$, let $\mathcal A$ be a natural function algebra consisting of functions holomorphic on $\Omega$. Let $\mathcal M$ be a Hilbert module over the algebra $\mathcal A$ and…

We study differential forms invariant under a finite reflection group over a field of arbitrary characteristic. In particular, we prove an analogue of Saito's freeness criterion for invariant differential 1-forms. We also discuss how…

Let $X$ be a complex smooth quasi-projective variety with a fixed epimorphism $\nu\colon\pi_1(X)\twoheadrightarrow H$, where $H$ is a finitely generated abelian group with $\mathrm{rank}H\geq 1$. In this paper, we study the asymptotic…

We consider the ring of coinvariants for modular representations of cyclic groups of prime order. For all cases for which explicit generators for the ring of invariants are known, we give a reduced Gr\"obner basis for the Hilbert ideal and…

In these lectures we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. A subfactor with a braiding determines a matrix $Z$ which is obtained as a coupling…

We compute the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariants $\Sigma^1$ for the generalized solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $\Gamma_n$ and their finite index subgroups. Using $\Sigma^1$, we show that certain finite index subgroups of $\Gamma_n$ cannot…

We study invariant divisors on the total spaces of the homogeneous deformations of rational complexity-one T-varieties constructed by Ilten and Vollmert. In particular, we identify a natural subgroup of the Picard group for any general…

Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…

We introduce in this paper a hypercohomology version of the resonance varieties and obtain some relations to the characteristic varieties of rank one local systems on a smooth quasi-projective complex variety $M$, see Theorem (3.1) and…

The paper concerns the affine varieties that are homogeneous with respect to a (non-standard) graduation over the group Z^m. Among the other properties it is shown that every such a variety can be embedded in its Zariski tangent space at…

Notes of three talks given at the workshop 'Hilbert schemes, non-commutative algebra and the McKay correspondence' CIRM-Luminy (France) October 2003. If A is an order over a central normal affine variety X having a stability structure such…

We consider Open Gromov-Witten invariants for noncompact Calabi-Yau in the case the Lagrangian has the topology of $\R^2 \times S^1$. The definition of the invariant involves the choice of a frame for the Lagrangian, in accord with string…

We show that the Hilbert space with basis indexed by infinite permutations and the cohomology ring of the infinite flag variety can be seen as representations of the Heisenberg algebra, which are isomorphic using the back-stable Schubert…
