It is, by now, classical that lattices in higher rank semisimple groups have various rigidity properties. In this work, we add another such rigidity property to the list: uniform stability with respect to the family of unitary operators on…

We prove the existence of surface subgroups within any cocompact lattice $\Gamma$ in $\mathrm{SO}(2n,1)$ for $n\geq2$. This result addresses the cases missing from the work of Hamenst\"adt in 2015, who constructed surface subgroups in…

Following Feigin and Fuchs, we compute the first cohomology of the Lie superalgebra $\mathcal{K}(1)$ of contact vector fields on the (1,1)-dimensional real superspace with coefficients in the superspace of linear differential operators…

The ${\ell}^1$-convolution algebra of a semilattice is known to have trivial cohom ology in degrees 1,2 and 3 whenever the coefficient bimodule is symmetric. We ex tend this result to all cohomology groups of degree $\geq 1$ with symmetric…

We study cocycles of countable groups $\Gamma$ of Borel automorphisms of a standard Borel space $(X, \mathcal{B})$ taking values in a locally compact second countable group $G$. We prove that for a hyperfinite group $\Gamma$ the subgroup of…

We show local and cocycle rigidity for $\R^k \times \Z^l$ partially hyperbolic translation actions on homogeneous spaces $\mc G/ \Lambda$. We consider a large class of actions whose geometric properties are more complicated than previously…

The goal of the course was a review of results mainly due to M. Olbrich and the first author. We consider a discrete cocompact subgroup $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$. We relate the group cohomology of $\Gamma$ with coefficients in…

We study actions by higher-rank abelian groups on quotients of semisimple Lie groups with finite center. First, we consider actions arising from the flows of two commuting elements of the Lie algebra--one nilpotent, and the other…

In this article we study cocycles of discrete countable groups with values in l^2(G) and the ring of affiliated operators UG. We clarify properties of the first cohomology of a group G with coefficients in l^2(G) and answer several…

Consider a smooth, locally free, codimension-one action of a higher-rank, simple, split Lie group $G$ on a closed manifold $M$. Let $P$ be a minimal parabolic subgroup of $G$. If the action admits a $P$-invariant probability measure that is…

The space of differential operators acting on skewsymmetric tensor fields or on smooth forms of a smooth manifold are representations of its Lie algebra of vector fields. We compute the first cohomology spaces of these representations and…

We give a criterion for the complete reducibility of modules satisfying a composability condition for a meromorphic open-string vertex algebra $V$ using the first cohomology of the algebra. For a $V$-bimodule $M$, let…

Let $V$ be a grading-restricted vertex algebra and $W$ a $V$-module. We show that for any $m\in \mathbb{Z}_{+}$, the first cohomology $H^{1}_{m}(V, W)$ of $V$ with coefficients in $W$ introduced by the author is linearly isomorphic to the…

Suppose $L$ is a semisimple Levi subgroup of a connected Lie group~$G$, $X$ is a Borel $G$-space with finite invariant measure, and $\alpha \colon X \times G \to \GL_n(\real)$ is a Borel cocycle. Assume $L$ has finite center, and that the…

Let $\Gamma$ = SL 3 (Z[ 1 2 , i]), let X be any mod-2 acyclic $\Gamma$-CW complex on which $\Gamma$ acts with finite stabilizers and let Xs be the 2-singular locus of X. We calculate the mod-2 cohomology of the Borel constructon of Xs with…

Let G be a real reductive Lie group and H a closed reductive subgroup of G. We investigate the deformation of "standard" compact quotients of G/H, i.e., of quotients of G/H by discrete subgroups Gamma of G that are uniform lattices in a…

Let $G$ be $\text{SO}^\circ(n,1)$ for $n \geq 3$ and consider a lattice $\Gamma < G$. Given a standard Borel probability $\Gamma$-space $(\Omega,\mu)$, consider a measurable cocycle $\sigma:\Gamma \times \Omega \rightarrow…
