We investigate the integral cohomology ring and the Chow ring of the classifying space of the complex projective linear group PGL_p, when p is an odd prime. In particular, we determine its additive structure completely, and we reduce the…

We construct a finite 1-connected CW complex X such that $H_*(\Omega X; Z)$ has p-torsion for the infinitely many primes satisfying p ~ 5,7,17,19 mod 24, but no p-torsion for the infinitely many primes satisfying p ~ 13 or 23 mod 24.

Let $R$ be a regular semilocal integral domain containing an infinite field $k$. Let $f\in R$ be an element such that for all maximal ideals $\mathfrak m$ of $R$ we have $f\notin\mathfrak m^2$. Let $\mathbf G$ be a reductive group scheme…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We prove that the $P=W$ conjecture for $\mathrm{SL}_p$ is equivalent to the $P=W$ conjecture for $\mathrm{GL}_p$. As a consequence, we verify the $P=W$ conjecture for genus 2 and $\mathrm{SL}_p$. For the proof, we…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $n\in \N$ be an integer. We show that the $n^{\text{th}}$ mod-$p$ cohomology of a solvable saturable pro-$p$ group is isomorphic to the $n^{\text{th}}$ mod-$p$ cohomology of its associated $\Z_p$-Lie algebra…

We prove that for every reductive algebraic group $H$ with centre of positive dimension and every integer $K$ there is a smooth and projective variety $X$ and an algebraic $H$-torsor $P \to X$ such that the classifying map $X \to \Bclass H$…

In this short note we show that the homotopy category of smooth compactifications of smooth algebraic varieties is equivalent to the homotopy category of smooth varieties over a field of characteristic zero. As an application we show that…

To initiate a systematic study on the applications of perfectoid methods to Noetherian rings, we introduce the notions of perfectoid towers and their tilts. We mainly show that the tilting operation preserves several homological invariants…

We generalize the logarithmic purity theorem of Fujiwara-Kato to torsors which arise in the Kummer log flat topology under finite flat linearly reductive group schemes. As an application, we construct the logarithmic Nori fundamental group…

The goal of this paper is to obtain restrictions on the prime to p quotient of the \'etale fundamental group of a smooth projective variety in characteristic $p\ge 0$. The results are analogues some theorems in the study of K\"ahler groups.…

We establish the flat cohomology version of the Gabber-Thomason purity for \'{e}tale cohomology: for a complete intersection Noetherian local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ and a commutative, finite, flat $R$-group $G$, the flat cohomology…

We prove that the coherent cohomology of a proper morphism of noetherian schemes can be made arbitrarily p-divisible by passage to proper covers (for a fixed prime p). Under some extra conditions, we also show that p-torsion can be killed…

Let $G$ be a simple, simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic $p>0$. Recent work of Kildetoft and Nakano and of Sobaje has shown close connections between two long-standing conjectures of…

We establish an analogue of the Zariski--Nagata purity theorem for finite \'etale covers on smooth schemes over Pr\"ufer rings by demonstrating Auslander's flatness criterion in this non-Noetherian context. We derive an Auslander--Buchsbaum…

Let $p$ be a prime. We resolve a question posed by Min\'a\v{c}-Rogelstad-T\^an. We relate the Zassenhaus and the lower central series of pro-$p$ groups under a torsion-freeness condition. We also study graph products of (pro-$p$) groups…

The purpose of this paper is to generalise Sullivan's rational homotopy theory to non-nilpotent spaces, providing an alternative approach to defining Toen's schematic homotopy types over any field k of characteristic zero. New features…

We consider algebras defined over a complete, local and noetherian ground ring. They are gentle algebras in case the ground ring is a field. The unbounded homotopy category of complexes of projective modules is considered. Complexes with…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring that is free of rank $k$ as an abelian group, $p$ a prime, and $SL(n,R)$ the special linear group. We show that the Lie algebra associated to the filtration of $SL(n,R)$ by $p$-congruence subgroups is…

In the integral cohomology ring of the classifying space of the projective linear group $PGL_n$ (over $\mathbb{C}$), we find a collection of $p$-torsions $y_{p,k}$ of degree $2(p^{k+1}+1)$ for any odd prime divisor $p$ of $n$, and $k\geq…

Let $A$ be a commutative noetherian ring, containing a field $k$, with $1/2\in k$, $\dim A=d$, and let $P$ be a projective $A$-module or $rank(P)=n$. In continuation of \cite{MM}, we study Homotopy obstructions for $P$ to split off a free…
