For the nontrivial action by the cyclic group $C_3$ of order $3$ on the graded polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_2[a,b]$, we classify the $C_3$-invariant parameter ideals that are closed under Steenrod operations. The classification has…
The Steenrod operations (mod p) in Chow theory are defined for any prime p for a quasi-projective scheme, without appealing to the results of any domain but Milnor's K-theory. The new definition also gives a direct formula that depends only…
We present a formula describing the action of a generalised Steenrod operation of $\Z_2$-type on the cohomology class represented by a proper self-transverse immersion $f\co M\imm X$, in terms of the equivariant double points of $f$ and the…
We give a new construction of a weak form of Steenrod operations for Chow groups modulo a prime number p for a certain class of varieties. This class contains projective homogeneous varieties which are either split or over a field admitting…
Based on a relative Wu theorem in \'etale cohomology, we study the compatibility of Steenrod operations on Chow groups and on \'etale cohomology. Using the resulting obstructions to algebraicity, we construct new examples of non-algebraic…
Motivated by the loop space cohomology we construct the secondary operations on the cohomology $H^*(X; \mathbb{Z}_p)$ to be a Hopf algebra for a simply connected space $X.$ The loop space cohomology ring $H^*(\Omega X; \mathbb{Z}_p)$ is…
We define a chain map of the form $\E(k)\otimes BA^{\otimes k}\longrightarrow BA$, where $\E$ is a combinatorial $E_\infty$-operad called the sequence operad, and $BA$ is the bar complex of an $\E$-algebra $A$. We see that Steenrod-type…
In this very short note, we expand the Hu-Kriz computation of the $G$-equivariant Borel dual Steenrod algebra in characteristic $2$, from the group $G=C_2$ to all power-$2$ cyclic groups $G=C_{2^n}$.
Explicit extensions representing cocycles $x \in Ext_{A}^{s,t}(F_2,F_2)$ are useful in calculating Steenrod operations $Sq^i : Ext_{A}^{s,t}(F_2,F_2) \longrightarrow Ext_{A}^{s+i,2t}(F_2,F_2)$ by a method devised by the second author. This…
Power operations in the homology of infinite loop spaces, and $H_\infty$ or $E_\infty$ ring spectra have a long history in Algebraic Topology. In the case of ordinary mod p homology for a prime p, the power operations of Kudo, Araki, Dyer…
We describe the action of the mod $2$ Steenrod algebra on the cohomology of various polyhedral products and related spaces. We carry this out for Davis-Januszkiewicz spaces and their generalizations, for moment-angle complexes as well as…
For $X$ a smooth scheme acted on by a linear algebraic group $G$ and $p$ a prime, the equivariant Chow ring $CH^*_G(X)\otimes \mathbb{F}_p$ is an unstable algebra over the Steenrod algebra. We compute Lannes's $T$-functor applied to…
The study of the action of the Steenrod algebra on the mod $p$ cohomology of spaces has many applications to the topological structure of those spaces. In this paper we present combinatorial formulas for the action of Steenrod operations on…
Using non-selfadjoint techniques, we establish the Hao-Ng isomorphism for the reduced crossed product and all discrete groups. For the full crossed product an analogous result holds for all discrete groups but the C*-correspondences…
In Part I, we use Steenrod's construction to prove that the quantum Coulomb branch is a Frobenius-constant quantization. We will also demonstrate the corresponding result for the $K$-theoretic version of the quantum Coulomb branch. In Part…
We obtain lower bounds for the dimension of fixed loci of diagonalizable $p$-groups acting on smooth projective varieties. Those bounds depend on the modulo $p$ Chern numbers of the ambient variety, and are expressed in a natural way by…
The aim of this paper is to show the importance of the Steenrod construction of homology theories for the disassembly process in surgery on a generalized $n$-manifold $X^n$, in order to produce an element of generalized homology theory,…
We compute the action of the primitive Steenrod-Milnor operations on generators of algebras of invariants of subgroups of general linear group GL_n=GL(n,F_p) in the polynomial algebra with p an odd prime number.
We prove a relationship between quantum Steenrod operations and the quantum connection. In particular there are operations extending the quantum Steenrod power operations that, when viewed as endomorphisms of equivariant quantum cohomology,…
This paper studies the existence of non trivial $\mu_p$ actions on a canonically polarized surface X defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. In particular, an explicit function $f(K_X^2)$ is obtained such that if…
