Let G be a connected complex Lie group. We show that any flat principal G-bundle over any finite CW-complex pulls back to a trivial bundle over some finite covering space of the base space if and only if each real characteristic class of…

We distinguish between faint, weak, strong and strict localizations of categories at morphism families and show that this framework captures the different types of derived functors that are considered in the literature. More precisely, we…

For a certain full additive subcategory X of an additive category A, one defines the lower extension groups in relative homological algebra. We show that these groups are isomorphic to the suspended Hom groups in the Verdier quotient…

Quantum homogeneous supervector bundles arising from the quantum general linear supergoup are studied. The space of holomorphic sections is promoted to a left exact covariant functor from a category of modules over a quantum parabolic…

A class of C*-algebras is described for which the homomorphism from $C_0(0,1]$ to the algebra may be classified by means of the Cuntz semigroup functor. Examples are given of algebras--simple and non-simple--for which this classification…

We construct explicit models of universal $H \mathbb{Z}[J^{-1}]$-acyclic spaces $\mathcal M$, for any subset $J$ of the prime numbers. The corresponding nullification functors provide thus plus construction functors for ordinary homology…

We prove that an action $\rho:A\to M(C_0(\mathbb{G})\otimes A)$ of a locally compact quantum group on a $C^*$-algebra has a universal equivariant compactification, and prove a number of other category-theoretic results on…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an additive category. The nilpotent category $\mathrm{Nil} (\mathcal{C})$ of $\mathcal{C}$, consists of objects pairs $(X, x)$ with $X\in\mathcal{C}, x\in\mathrm{End}_{\mathcal{C}}(X)$ such that $x^n=0$ for some…

In this article we extend evaluations of the Kauffman bracket on regular isotopy classes of knots and links to a variety of functors defined on the category of framed tangles. We show that many such functors exist, and that they correspond…

We investigate the representation theory of finite sets. The correspondence functors are the functors from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. They have various…

In this paper, we are going to look at the $c$-nilpotent multiplier of a group $G$, ${\cal N}_cM(G)$, as a functor from the category of all groups, ${\cal G}roup$, to the category of all abelian groups, ${\cal A}b$, and focusing on some…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a Lie group with solvable connected component and finitely-generated component group and $\alpha\in H^2(\mathbb{G},\mathbb{S}^1)$ a cohomology class. We prove that if $(\mathbb{G},\alpha)$ is of type I then the same…

Let G be a connected complex reductive affine algebraic group, and let K be a maximal compact subgroup. Let X be a compact connected K\"ahler manifold whose fundamental group Gamma is virtually nilpotent. We prove that the character variety…

Homotopical localizations with respect to a set of maps are known to exist in cofibrantly generated model categories (satisfying additional assumptions). In this paper we expand the existing framework, so that it will apply to not…

The extension problem asks whether positive semi-definite functions on a symmetric unital subset of a discrete group can be extended to positive semi-definite functions on the whole group. It has been known at least since the work of Rudin…

The analogue of Lagrangians for symplectic forms over finite groups is studied, motivated by the fact that symplectic G-forms with a normal Lagrangian N<G are in one-to-one correspondence, up to inflation, with bijective 1-cocycle data on…

In this paper, we define a class of relative derived functors in terms of left or right weak flat resolutions to compute the weak flat dimension of modules. Moreover, we investigate two classes of modules larger than that of weak injective…

We construct a functor from the category of graphs to the category of groups which is faithful and "almost" full, in the sense that it induces bijections of the Hom sets up to trivial homomorphisms and conjugation in the category of groups.…

Let $G$ and $\tilde G$ be reductive groups over a local field $F$. Let $\eta : \tilde G \to G$ be a $F$-homomorphism with commutative kernel and commutative cokernel. We investigate the pullbacks of irreducible admissible…

In this paper we study contravariant functors from the category of rings to the category of sets whose restriction to the full subcategory of commutative rings is isomorphic to the prime spectrum functor Spec. The main result reveals a…
