We introduce a new statistic on the hyperoctahedral groups (Coxeter groups of type B), and give a conjectural formula for its signed distributions over arbitrary descent classes. The statistic is analogous to the classical Coxeter length…
The main theme of this paper is higher virtual algebraic fibering properties of right-angled Coxeter groups (RACGs), with a special focus on those whose defining flag complex is a finite building. We prove for particular classes of finite…
In this paper, we give a class of reflection rigid Coxeter systems. Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system. Suppose that (1) for each $s,t\in S$ such that $m(s,t)$ is odd, $\{s,t\}$ is a maximal spherical subset of $S$, (2) there does not exist a…
Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system, let $G$ be a finite solvable group of automorphisms of $(W,S)$ and let $\varphi$ be a weight function which is invariant under $G$. Let $\varphi_G$ denote the weight function on $W^G$ obtained by restriction…
We prove that a finitely generated virtually RFRS group of cohomological dimension at most $2$ is coherent if and only if its second $L^{2}$-Betti number vanishes if and only if it is virtually free-by-cyclic. The non-vanishing of the…
We discuss some consequences of the fact that symmetry groups appearing in compactified (super-)gravity may be non-simply connected. The possibility to add fermions to a theory results in a simple criterion to decide whether a 3-dimensional…
We review the Burghelea conjecture, which constitutes a full computation of the periodic cyclic homology of complex group rings, and its relation to the algebraic Baum-Connes conjecture. The Burghelea conjecture implies the Bass conjecture.…
In this paper, we establish the rationality conjecture raised in \cite{FKS} for any $(r-1)$-connected ($r\geq 2$) $kr$-dimensional CW-complex $X$ ($k\geq 2$) having a unique spherical cohomology class $u\in \tilde{H}^r(X, \mathbb{Z})$ such…
In this paper, we investigate a relation between finite graphs, simplicial flag complexes and right-angled Coxeter groups, and we provide a class of reconstructible finite graphs. We show that if $\Gamma$ is a finite graph which is the…
We introduce a graph-theoretic condition, called $(n,m)$--branching, that ensures a combinatorial round tree with controlled branching parameters can be quasi-isometrically embedded in the Davis complex of the right-angled Coxeter group…
We provide a complete description of the automorphism group $\Aut (W)$ of a Coxeter group $W$ admitting a star-shaped finite Coxeter diagram. We prove that each automorphism decomposes as a product of inner and diagram automorphisms, along…
The Wehrl entropy conjecture for coherent (highest weight) states in representations of the Heisenberg group, which was proved in 1978 and recently extended by us to the group $SU(2)$, is further extended here to symmetric representations…
We discuss the dimensional reduction of various effective actions, particularly that of the closed Bosonic string and pure gravity, to two and three dimensions. The result for the closed Bosonic string leads to coset symmetries which are in…
In this paper, I give a generalized analogue of the string topology results of Chas and Sullivan, and of Cohen and Jones. For a finite simplicial complex $X$ and $k \geq 1$, I construct a spectrum $Maps(S^k, X)^{S(X)}$, and show that the…
We investigate the asymptotic Tower Weak Gravity Conjecture in weak coupling limits of open string theories with minimal supersymmetry in four dimensions, focusing for definiteness on gauge theories realized on 7-branes in F-theory.…
In this fourth part, (with the notations of the preceding parts) we make the following hypothesis: $(W,S)$ is a Coxeter system, irreducible, $2$-spherical and $S$ is finite. Let $R:W\to GL(M)$ be a reducible reflection representation of…
The weight-monodromy conjecture claims the coincidence of the weight filtration and the monodromy filtration, up to shift, on the $l$-adic \'etale cohomology of a proper smooth variety over a complete discrete valuation field. Although it…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $\Bbbk$ of characteristic $p \ge 0$, and let $\mathcal{N}$ be its nilpotent cone. Under mild hypotheses, we construct for each nilpotent $G$-orbit $C$ and…
Let $W$ be a $2$-dimensional Coxeter group, that is, a one with $\frac{1}{m_{st}}+\frac{1}{m_{sr}}+\frac{1}{m_{tr}}\leq 1$ for all triples of distinct $s,t,r\in S$. We prove that $W$ is biautomatic. We do it by showing that a natural…
This paper investigates stable cohomotopy groups in codimensions two and three from complementary algebraic and geometric viewpoints. For general CW complexes, we give a complete characterization of stable cohomotopy in codimension two and…
