We determine an upper bound for the cohomological dimension of the complement of a closed subset in a projective variety which possesses an appropriate stratification. We apply the result to several particular cases, including the…
We investigate the similarities between adic finiteness and homological finiteness for chain complexes over a commutative noetherian ring. In particular, we extend the isomorphism properties of certain natural morphisms from homologically…
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 study actions of discrete groups on contractible topological spaces in which either (1) all stabilizers lie in the family of subgroups of prime power order or (2) all stabilizers lie in the family of finite subgroups. We compare the…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$. We construct a new inflation functor for cohomological Mackey functors for finite groups over $k$. Using this inflation functor, we give an explicit presentation of the graded algebra of self…
We show that any finite group admits actions on simple AF algebras with unique trace which have arbitrarily large finite values of Rokhlin dimension with commuting towers. We show similar results for actions of compact Lie groups, with AH…
We find new bounds on the conformal dimension of small cancellation groups. These are used to show that a random few relator group has conformal dimension 2+o(1) asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.). In fact, if the number of relators…
Over the real numbers with $\Z/2-$coefficients, we compute the $C_2$-equivariant Borel motivic cohomology ring, the Bredon motivic cohomology groups and prove that the Bredon motivic cohomology ring of the real numbers is a proper subring…
A class $\mathcal F$ of objects of an abelian category $\mathcal A$ is said to define a \emph{homological dimension} if for any object in $\mathcal A$ the length of any $\mathcal F$-resolution is uniquely determined. In the present paper we…
We show that a finite collection of stable subgroups of a finitely generated group has finite height, finite width and bounded packing. We then use knowledge about intersections of conjugates to characterize finite families of…
Let T be a torus. We present an exact sequence relating the relative equivariant cohomologies of the skeletons of an equivariantly formal T-space. This sequence, which goes back to Atiyah and Bredon, generalizes the so-called…
We extend McCarthy's stabilization construction to exact $\infty$-categories. This is achieved by constructing, for any functor from exact $\infty$-categories to a fixed stable $\infty$-category $\mathcal{A}$, a coherent chain complex in…
We obtain a rigidity phenomena of rational cohomology automorphisms of certain homogeneous spaces, in the presence of external cohomology classes arising from spaces with trivial cup product in rational cohomology algebra. We classify…
We present a general method of deriving the effective action for conformal anomalies in any even dimension, which satisfies the Wess-Zumino consistency condition by construction. The method relies on defining the coboundary operator of the…
This is a report on the present state of the problem of determining the dimension of the Nichols algebra associated to a rack and a cocycle. This is relevant for the classification of finite-dimensional complex pointed Hopf algebras whose…
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…
Given an $S^1$-manifold with isolated fixed points, some recent papers are concerned with the relationship between the least number of fixed points and the characteristic numbers of this manifold, and their proofs have some similar…
Exact sequences are a well known notion in homological algebra. We investigate here the more vague properties of 'homotopical exactness', appearing for instance in the fibre or cofibre sequence of a map. Such notions of exactness can be…
We introduce the category of bicomodules for a comonad in a Grothendieck category whose underlying functor is right exact and preserves direct sums. We characterize comonads with a separable forgetful functor by means of cohomology groups…
In this work the equivariant signature of a manifold with proper action of a discrete group is defined as an invariant of equivariant bordisms. It is shown that the computation of this signature can be reduced to its computation on fixed…
