We survey the cohomology jumping loci and the Alexander-type invariants associated to a space, or to its fundamental group. Though most of the material is expository, we provide new examples and applications, which in turn raise several…
The cohomology jump loci of a space $X$ are of two basic types: the characteristic varieties, defined in terms of homology with coefficients in rank one local systems, and the resonance varieties, constructed from information encoded in…
We study the integral, rational, and modular Alexander invariants, as well as the cohomology jump loci of groups arising as extensions with trivial algebraic monodromy. Our focus is on extensions of the form $1\to K\to G\to Q\to 1$, where…
We investigate the relationship between the geometric Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants of a space (or of a group), and the jump loci for homology with coefficients in rank 1 local systems over a field. We give computable upper bounds…
We explore the relationship between a certain "abelian duality" property of spaces and the propagation properties of their cohomology jump loci. To that end, we develop the analogy between abelian duality spaces and those spaces which…
We study the spectral sequence associated to the filtration by powers of the augmentation ideal on the (twisted) equivariant chain complex of the universal cover of a connected CW-complex X. In the process, we identify the d^1 differential…
We describe some of the connections between the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel-Renz invariants, the Dwyer-Fried invariants, and the cohomology support loci of a space X. Under suitable hypotheses, the geometric and homological finiteness properties…
Given a bounded constructible complex of sheaves $\mathcal{F}$ on a complex Abelian variety, we prove an equality relating the cohomology jump loci of $\mathcal{F}$ and its singular support. As an application, we identify two subsets of the…
We present a method for deciding when a regular abelian cover of a finite CW-complex has finite Betti numbers. To start with, we describe a natural parameter space for all regular covers of a finite CW-complex X, with group of deck…
We apply the method of Dimca-Papadima to study the cohomology jump loci in the representation variety and the moduli space of vector bundles with vanishing chern classes for a compact K\"ahler manifold. We introduce modules over…
Two decades ago, as part of their work of generic vanishing theorems, Green-Lazarsfeld showed that over a compact Kahler manifold $X$, the cohomology jump loci in the $Pic^\tau(X)$ are all translates of subtori. In this paper, we generalize…
We give two applications of the exponential Ax-Lindemann Theorem to local systems. One application is to show that for a connected topological space, the existence of a finite model of the real homotopy type implies linearity of the…
Given any subvariety of a complex torus defined over $\mathbb{Z}$ and any positive integer $k$, we construct a finite CW complex $X$ such that the $k$-th cohomology jump locus of $X$ is equal to the chosen subvariety, and the $i$-th…
We study $\textrm{Sym}(\infty)$-orbit closures of not necessarily closed points in the Zariski spectrum of the infinite polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x_{ij}:\, i\in\mathbb{N},\,j\in[n]]$. Among others, we characterize invariant prime ideals…
This is a survey of recent results related to cohomology jump loci. It emphasizes connections with deformations with cohomology constraints, global structural results for rank one local systems and line bundles, some connections with…
We extend the notion of absolute subsets of Betti moduli spaces of smooth algebraic varieties to the case of normal varieties. As a consequence we prove that twisted cohomology jump loci in rank one over a normal variety are a finite union…
There is a natural stratification of the character variety of a finitely presented group coming from the jumping loci of the first cohomology of one-dimensional representations. Equations defining the jumping loci can be effectively…
We explore the relation between cohomology jump loci in a finite Galois cover, formality properties and algebraic monodromy action. We show that the jump loci of the base and total space are essentially the same, provided the base space is…
We use a Mayer-Vietoris-like spectral sequence to establish vanishing results for the cohomology of complements of linear and elliptic hyperplane arrangements, as part of a more general framework involving duality and abelian duality…
We establish a "second vanishing theorem" for local cohomology modules over regular rings of unramified mixed characteristic, which relates the connectedness of the spectrum of a ring with the vanishing of local cohomology. Applying this,…
