Beben and Wu showed that if $M$ is a $(2n-2)$-connected $(4n-1)$-dimensional Poincar\'{e} Duality complex such that $n\geq 3$ and $H^{2n}(M;\mathbb{Z})$ consists only of odd torsion, then $\Omega M$ can be decomposed up to homotopy as a…

Inspired by work of Szymik and Wahl on the homology of Higman-Thompson groups, we establish a general connection between ample groupoids, topological full groups, algebraic K-theory spectra and infinite loop spaces, based on the…

We establish the analogue of the Friedlander-Mazur conjecture for Teh's reduced Lawson homology groups of real varieties, which says that the reduced Lawson homology of a real quasi-projective variety $X$ vanishes in homological degrees…

In this paper we introduce homological and homotopical Poincar\'e polynomials $P_f(t)$ and $P^{\pi}_f(t)$ of a continuous map $f:X \to Y$ such that if $f:X \to Y$ is a constant map, or more generally, if $Y$ is contractible, then these…

We consider rationally connected complex projective manifolds M and show that their loop spaces--infinite dimensional complex manifolds--have properties similar to those of M. Furthermore, we give a finite dimensional application concerning…

In a previous paper by the author a universal ring of invariants for algebraic structures of a given type was constructed. This ring is a polynomial algebra that is generated by certain trace diagrams. It was shown that this ring admits the…

Let X be a 1-connected compact space such that the algebra H*(X;Z/2) is generated by one single element. We compute the cohomology of the free loop space H*(LX;Z/2) including the Steenrod algebra action. When X is a projective space CP^n,…

We study the homotopy types of spaces of algebraic (rational) maps from real projective spaces into complex projective spaces. In a previous paper we have shown that the inclusion of the first space into the second one is a homotopy…

In this paper we develop homology and cohomology theories which play the same role for real projective varieties that Lawson homology and morphic cohomology play for projective varieties respectively. They have nice properties such as the…

Let $Mod_{g}$ be the modular group of surfaces of genus $g$. Each element $[h]\in Mod_{g}$ induces in the integer homology of a surface of genus $g$ a symplectic automorphism $H([h])$ and Poincar\'{e} shown that $H:Mod_{g}\to…

In a 2009 paper, Dave Benson gave a description in purely algebraic terms of the mod $p$ homology of $\Omega(BG^\wedge_p)$, when $G$ is a finite group, $BG^\wedge_p$ is the $p$-completion of its classifying space, and $\Omega(BG^\wedge_p)$…

We compute the integer cohomology rings of the ``polygon spaces'' introduced in [Hausmann,Klyachko,Kapovich-Millson]. This is done by embedding them in certain toric varieties; the restriction map on cohomology is surjective and we…

In this article, we give a combinatorial approach to the exponents of the Moore spaces. Our result states that the projection of the $p^{r+1}$-th power map of the loop space of the $(2n+1)$-dimensional mod $p^r$ Moore space to its atomic…

Universal $T$-matrices, or Hopf algebra dual forms, for quantum groups are revisited, and their contraction theory is developed. As a first illustrative example, the (1+1) timelike $\kappa$-Poincar\'e $T$-matrix is explicitly worked out.…

We characterize Hopf spaces with finitely generated cohomology as an algebra over the Steenrod algebra. We "deconstruct" the original space into an H-space Y with finite mod p cohomology and a finite number of p-torsion Eilenberg-Mac Lane…

P. M. Akhmetiev used a controlled version of the stable Hopf invariant to show that any (continuous) map N -> M between stably parallelizable compact n-manifolds, n\ne 1,2,3,7, is realizable in R^{2n}, i.e. the composition of f with an…

Consider a rational map from a projective space to a product of projective spaces, induced by a collection of linear projections. Motivated by the the theory of limit linear series and Abel-Jacobi maps, we study the basic properties of the…

By explicitly eliminating all gauge degrees of freedom in the $3+1$-gauge description of a classical relativistic (open) membrane moving in $\Real^3$ we derive a $2+1$-dimensional nonlinear wave equation of Born-Infeld type for the graph…

Let $G$ be a connected complex Lie group. A real form of $G$ is a closed subgroup $H\subset G$ whose Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}$ is a real form of the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of $G$. A pair $(G,H)$ of this type is reductive, and the…

We give a survey on recent results on inequalities between the ranks of homotopy and cohomology groups (resp., graded components of mixed Hodge structures on these groups) of rationally elliptic spaces (resp., quasi-projective varieties…
