Consider the infinite dimensional flag manifold $LK/T$ corresponding to the simple Lie group $K$ of rank $l$ and with maximal torus $T$. We show that, for $K$ of type $A$, $B$ or $C$, if we endow the space $H^*(LK/T)\otimes…

We define a homology theory for a certain class of posets equipped with a representation. We show that when restricted to Boolean lattices this homology is isomorphic to the homology of the "cube" complex defined by Khovanov.

Let $L$ be a countable CW-complex and $F\colon X\to Y$ be upper semicontinuous $UV^{[L]}$-valued mapping of a paracompact space $X$ to a complete metric space $Y$. We prove that if $X$ is a C-space of extension dimension $\ed X \le [L]$,…

We explore the complex associated to a link in the geometric formalism of Khovanov's (n=2) link homology theory, determine its exact underlying algebraic structure and find its precise universality properties for link homology functors. We…

Let K be a finite extension of Q_p with residue field F_q and let P(T) = T^d + a_{d-1}T^{d-1} + ... +a_1 T, where d is a power of q and a_i is in the maximal ideal of K for all i. Let u_0 be a uniformizer of O_K and let {u_n}_{n \geq 0} be…

This is an expository account of the following result: we can construct a group by means of twisted Z_2-graded vectorial bundles which is isomorphic to K-theory twisted by any degree three integral cohomology class.

The Kantor-Koecher-Tits construction associates a Lie algebra to any Jordan algebra. We generalize this construction to include also extensions of the associated Lie algebra. In particular, the conformal realization of so(p+1,q+1)…

We give a possible generalization of Lutz twist to all dimensions. This reproves the fact that every contact manifold can be given a non-fillable contact structure and also shows great flexibility in the manifolds that can be realized as…

Using a theorem from pcf theory, we show that for any singular cardinal nu, the product of the Cohen forcing notions on kappa, kappa < nu adds a generic for the Cohen forcing notion on nu^+. This solves Problem 5.1 in Miller's list…

Two simple homotopy equivalent 2-complexes K2 and L2 are related by an algebraic criterion of their corresponding presentations as stated in [HoMeSier]. Frank Quinn set it into a topological context (see [Qu1]) and call these 2-complexes…

In a number of recent papers, (k+l)-graphs have been constructed from k-graphs by inserting new edges in the last l dimensions. These constructions have been motivated by C*-algebraic considerations, so they have not been treated…

Presented is a structure theorem for the Leibniz Homology, HL_*, of an Abelian extension of a simple real Lie algebra g. As applications, results are stated for affine extensions of the classical Lie algebras sl_n(R), so_n(R), and sp_n(R).…

We construct a class of symplectic non--Kaehler and complex non--Kaehler string theory vacua, extending and providing evidence for an earlier suggestion by Polchinski and Strominger. The class admits a mirror pairing by construction.…

A cohomology theory, associated to a $n$-Lie algebra and a representation space of it, is introduced. It is observed that this cohomology theory is qualified to encode the generalized derivation extensions, and that it coincides, for $n=3$,…

We study high dimensional expansion beyond simplicial complexes (posets) and focus on $q$-complexes which are complexes whose basic building blocks are linear spaces. We show that the complete $q$-complex (consists of all subspaces of a…

An important result for regular foliations is their formal semi-local triviality near simply connected leaves. We extend this result to singular foliations for all 2-connected leaves and a wide class of 1- connected leaves by proving a…

Let $\tilde{K}_{3,n}$, $n\geq 3$, be the simple graph obtained from $K_{3,n}$ by adding three edges to a vertex part of size three. We prove that if $H$ is a hyperplane of a 3-connected matroid $M$ and $M \not\cong M^*(\tilde{K}_{3,n})$,…

Let $\mathbf{S}_k$ denote a maximal torus in the complex Lie group $\mathbf{G} = \mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{C})/C_k$ and let $T_k$ denote a maximal torus in its compact real form $\mathrm{SU}_n(\mathbb{C})/C_k$, where $k$ divides $n$. Let $W$…

Let $\mathbb K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, $A = \mathbb K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ the polynomial ring, and let $W_n(\mathbb K)$ denote the Lie algebra of all $\mathbb K$-derivations on $A$. The Lie algebra $W_n :=…

We generalize to arbitrary dimension our previous construction of simply connected weakly-special but not special varieties. We show that they satisfy the function field and complex analytic part of Campana's conjecture. Moreover, we give…
