We show that the first twisted cohomology group associated to closed 1-forms on compact manifolds is related to certain 2-dimensional representations of the fundamental group. In particular, we construct examples of nowhere-vanishing…

I determine the twisted K-theory of all compact simply connected simple Lie groups. The computation reduces via the Freed-Hopkins-Teleman theorem to the CFT prescription, and thus explains why it gives the correct result. Finally I analyze…

Given scheme-theoretic equations for a nonsingular subvariety, we prove that the higher cohomology groups for suitable twists of the corresponding ideal sheaf vanish. From this result, we obtain linear bounds on the multigraded…

Suppose, $G$ is a residually finite group of finite upper rank admitting an automorphism $\varphi$ with finite Reidemeister number $R(\varphi)$ (the number of $\varphi$-twisted conjugacy classes). We prove that such $G$ is soluble-by-finite…

We study twisted modules for (weak) quantum vertex algebras and we give a conceptual construction of (weak) quantum vertex algebras and their twisted modules. As an application we construct and classify irreducible twisted modules for a…

We study the vanishing of (co)homology along ring homomorphisms for modules that admit certain filtrations, and generalize a theorem of O. Celikbas-Takahashi. Our work produces new classes of rigid and test modules, in particular over local…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated polyfree group. If $G$ has nonzero Euler characteristic then we show that $Aut(G)$ has a finite index subgroup in which every automorphism has infinite Reidemeister number. For certain $G$ of length 2, we…

We decompose the twisted index obstruction $\theta(M)$ against positive scalar curvature metrics for oriented manifolds with spin universal cover into a pairing of a twisted $K$-homology with a twisted $K$-theory class and prove that…

We show that the set of totally positive unipotent lower-triangular Toeplitz matrices in $GL_n$ form a real semi-algebraic cell of dimension $n-1$. Furthermore we prove a natural cell decomposition for its closure. The proof uses properties…

The main aim of this article is to study the topology of real Bott towers as special and interesting examples of real toric varieties. We first give a presentation of the fundamental group of a real Bott tower and show that the fundamental…

Consider a simple complex Lie group $G$ acting diagonally on a triple flag variety $G/P_1\times G/P_2\times G/P_3$, where $P_i$ is parabolic subgroup of $G$. We provide an algorithm for systematically checking when this action has finitely…

We develop the geometric theory of equivariant quasisymmetry via a new ``quasisymmetric flag variety''. This is a toric complex in the flag variety whose fixed point set is the set of noncrossing partitions, and whose cohomology ring is the…

In this article, we give a class of examples of compact quantum groups and unitary 2-cocycles on them, such that the twisted quantum groups are non-compact, but still locally compact quantum groups (in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes).…

We prove a positivity result for the T-equivariant K-theory of flag varieties associated to any symmetrizable Kac-Moody group.

In recent years, researchers have discovered various large algebraic structures that have surprising finiteness properties, such as FI-modules and Delta-modules. In this paper, we add another example to the growing list: we show that…

In an earlier work, the author observed that Boolean inverse semi-groups, with semigroup homomorphisms preserving finite orthogonal joins, form a congruence-permutable variety of algebras, called biases. We give a full description of…

In this article, we investigate the toric Schubert varieties in partial flag varieties $G/P$ for a connected semisimple algebraic group $G$. Using Deodhar's decomposition of Richardson varieties and the work of Pasquier, we give an explicit…

We prove for residually finite groups the following long standing conjecture: the number of twisted conjugacy classes of an automorphism of a finitely generated group is equal (if it is finite) to the number of finite dimensional…

Twisted K-theory on a manifold X, with twisting in the 3rd integral cohomology, is dis- cussed in the case when X is a product of a circle T and a manifold M. The twist is assumed to be decomposable as a cup product of the basic integral…

We prove that any reduced twisted group C*-algebra of a selfless group with the rapid decay property is selfless. As an application, we show that twisted group C*-algebras of acylindrically hyperbolic groups (possibly with nontrivial finite…
