Let the finite group $G$ act linearly on the vector space $V$ over the field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. If $H<G$ is a subgroup the extension of invariant rings $k[V]^G\subset k[V]^H$ is studied using modules of covariants. An example…

A homogeneous Riemannian space $(M= G/H,g)$ is called a geodesic orbit space (shortly, GO-space) if any geodesic is an orbit of one-parameter subgroup of the isometry group $G$. We study the structure of compact GO-spaces and give some…

Given an irreducible non-spherical non-affine (possibly non-proper) building $X$, we give sufficient conditions for a group $G < \Aut(X)$ to admit an infinite-dimensional space of non-trivial quasi-morphisms. The result applies to all…

Consider a field k of characteristic p > 0, G_r the r-th Frobenius kernel of a smooth algebraic group G, DG_r the Drinfeld double of G_r, and M a finite dimensional DG_r-module. We prove that the cohomology algebra H*(DG_r,k) is finitely…

In this dissertation we study the Hodge-Witt cohomology of the $d$-dimensional Drinfeld's upper half space $\mathcal{X} \subset \mathbb{P}_k^d$ over a finite field $k$. We consider the natural action of the $k$-rational points $G$ of the…

It is well known that the moduli space of flat connections on a trivial principal bundle MxG, where G is a connected Lie group, is isomorphic to the representation variety Hom(\pi_1(M), G)/G. For a tiling T, viewed as a marked copy of R^d,…

A space is defined to be "$n$-spheroidal" if it has the homotopy type of an $n$-dimensional CW-complex $X$ with $H_{n}(X, \mathbb{Z})$ not zero and finitely generated. A group $G$ is called "$n$-spheroidal" if its classifying space $K(G,1)$…

Let $G$ be an affine algebraic group defined over field $k$ of characteristic zero. We study the derived moduli space of G-local systems on a pointed connected CW complex X trivialized at the basepoint of $X$. This derived moduli space is…

Let $V$ be a linear representation of a connected complex reductive group $G$. Given a choice of character $\theta$ of $G$, Geometric Invariant Theory defines a locus $V^{ss}_\theta(G) \subseteq V$ of semistable points. We give necessary,…

Let $(X,J) $ be an almost complex manifold with a (smooth) involution $\sigma:X\to X$ such that fix($\sigma$) is non-empty. Assume that $\sigma$ is a complex conjugation, i.e, the differential of $\sigma$ anti-commutes with $J$. The space…

Given the action of a group $G$ on a set $X$, an endomorphism of $X$ is a function $f:X \rightarrow X$ which is $G$-equivariant, that is, it commutes with the action, i.e., $f(g\cdot x)= g\cdot f(x)$, for all $x\in X$. The set of…

In this paper, we develop methods for calculating equivariant homology from equivariant Morse functions on a closed manifold with the action of a finite group. We show how to alter $G$-equivariant Morse functions to a stable one, where the…

Apart from global topological problems an affine homogeneous space is locally described by its curvature, its torsion and a slightly less tangible object called its connection in a given base point. Using this description of the local…

We find modular transformations of normalized characters for the following $W$-algebras: (a) $W^{min}_k(\frak{g})$, where $\frak{g}=D_n \, (n \geq 4)$, or $E_6$, $E_7$, $E_8$, and $k$ is a negative integer $\geq -2$, or $\geq…
