In this article, we introduce the first degrees of a cochain complex associated to a strict Lie 2-group whose cohomology is shown to extend the classical cohomology theory of Lie groups. In particular, we show that the second cohomology…

We give a classification of real solvable Lie algebras whose non-trivial coadjoint orbits of corresponding simply connected Lie groups are all of codimension 2. These Lie algebras belong to a well-known class, called the class of…

We explicitly construct a set of quadratic equations defining the highest weight vector orbit for adjoint representations of Chevalley groups of types D_l, E_6, E_7, and E_8. The combinatorics of these equations is related to the…

We consider irreducible lowest-weight representations of Cherednik algebras associated to certain classes of complex reflection groups in characteristic p. In particular, we study maximal graded submodules of Verma modules associated to…

We use bisection to provide an algebraic proof that the Chern form on the convolution algebra of an \'etale groupoid is closed.

This article constructs a crossed module corresponding to the generator of the third cohomology group with trivial coefficients of a complex simple Lie algebra. This generator reads as <[,],>, constructed from the Lie bracket [,] and the…

In "On the asymptotics of the growth of 2-step nilpotent groups" (J. London Math. Soc. (2), 58 (1998)), we remarked that, contrary to 2-step nilpotent simply connected Lie groups, in 3-step nilpotent simply connected Lie groups it is…

This paper describes irreducible representations in category O of the rational Cherednik algebra H_c(H_3,h) associated to the exceptional Coxeter group H_3 and any complex parameter c. We compute the characters of all these representations…

It is shown that there are exactly seventy-eight 3-generator 2- groups of order 2^11 with trivial Schur multiplier. We then give 3-generator, 3-relation presentations for forty-eight of them proving that these groups have deficiency zero.

We investigate a family of correspondences associated to \'etale coverings of degree 3 of hyperelliptic curves. They lead to Prym-Tyurin varieties of exponent 3. We identify these varieties and derive some consequences.

Let p be an odd prime number. We show that there exists a finite group of order p^{p+3} whose the mod p cycle map from the mod p Chow ring of its classifying space to its ordinary mod p cohomology is not injective.

This paper was motivated by a remarkable group, the maximal subgroup $M=S_3\ltimes 2^{2+1}_{-}\ltimes3^{2+1}\ltimes2^{6+1}_{-}$ of the sporadic simple group ${\rm Fi}_{23}$, where $S_3$ is the symmetric group of degree 3, and $2^{2+1}_{-}$,…

We prove that for smooth projective threefolds whose anticanonical divisors are nef, the second Chern classes are pseudo-effective under a weak assumption. As an application, the pseudo-effectivity of the second Chern classes implies that…

We characterize in terms of the Goldman Lie algebra which conjugacy classes in the fundamental group of a surface with non empty boundary are represented by simple closed curves. We prove the following: A non power conjugacy class X…

We find a new representation of the simple Lie algebra of type $E_6$ on the polynomial algebra in 16 variables, which gives a fractional representation of the corresponding Lie group on 16-dimensional space. Using this representation and…

We show that under some assumptions on the monodromy group some combinations of higher Chern classes of flat vector bundles are torsion in the Chow group. Similar results hold for flat vector bundles that deform to such flat vector bundles…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of derivations of Lie 2-algebras and construct the associated derivation Lie 3-algebra. We prove that isomorphism classes of non-abelian extensions of Lie 2-algebras are classified by equivalence…

A group grading on a semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero is special if its identity component is zero; it is pure if at least one of its components, other than the identity component, contains a…

We introduce Chern classes in $U(m)$-equivariant homotopical bordism that refine the Conner-Floyd-Chern classes in the $MU$-cohomology of $B U(m)$. For products of unitary groups, our Chern classes form regular sequences that generate the…

The purpose of this paper is to construct a crepant resolution of quotient singularities by finite subgroups of SL(3,C) of monomial type, and prove that the Euler number of the resolution is equal to the number of conjugacy classes. This…
