We show that there is an action of the symmetric group on the Hochschild cochain complex of a twisted group algebra with coefficients in a bimodule. This allows us to define the symmetric Hochschild cohomology of twisted group algebras,…

In recent years, we have established the iteration theory of the index for symplectic matrix paths and applied it to periodic solution problems of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems. This paper is a survey on these results.

In this paper we complete the classification of topological symmetry groups for complete graphs $K_n$ by characterizing which $K_n$ can have a cyclic group, a dihedral group, or a subgroup of $D_m \times D_m$ where $m$ is odd, as its…

We present an approach to cyclic homology of A_{\infty} algebras. Our main technical tool is the concept of X-complex due to Cuntz and Quillen. This, in particular, enables us to compute the periodic cyclic homology of an A_{\infty} algebra…

The article presents the procedure of the index calculation for the elements of the algebra generated by one dimensional singular integral operators with discontinuous oscillating coefficients.

In this paper, we investigate the common index divisors of cyclic cubic fields. Let $a,b,c,d$ and $k$ are integers, we then solve the following Thue cubic equations:: \[ax^3+bx^2y+cxy^2+dy^3= k\ \] when $a,bc+d$ are odd and $3$ doesn't…

A numerical index is introduced for semigroups of completely positive maps of $\Cal B(H)$ which generalizes the index of E_0-semigroups. It is shown that the index of a unital completely positive semigroup agrees with the index of its…

For a finite group $G$, let $a_n(G)$ be the number of subgroups of order $n$ and define $\zeta_G(s)=\sum_{n\ge 1} a_n(G)n^{-s}$. Examples are known of non-isomorphic finite groups with the same group zeta function. However, no general…

The algebraic method for computing the complete point symmetry group of a system of differential equations is extended to finding the complete equivalence group of a class of such systems. The extended method uses the knowledge of the…

The Grassmannian admits an action by a finite cyclic group via the cyclic shift map. We give a simple description of the points fixed by each element of this cyclic group, extending Karp's description of the points fixed by the cyclic shift…

For any three nonzero vectors $a,b,c$ in $\mathbb R^2$, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the sum of the three pairwise angles between these vectors to equal $2\pi$. As an easy consequence of this, a proof of Euclid's…

We introduce a geometric invariant that we call the index of symmetry, which measures how far is a Riemannian manifold from being a symmetric space. We compute, in a geometric way, the index of symmetry of compact naturally reductive…

We construct Morse homology groups associated with any regular function on a smooth complex algebraic variety, allowing singular and non-compact critical loci. These groups are generated by critical points of a certain large pertubation of…

We study index theory for manifolds with Baas-Sullivan singularities using geometric K-homology with coefficients in a unital C*-algebra. In particular, we define a natural analog of the Baum-Connes assembly map for a torsion-free discrete…

We formulate the Chern-Simons action for any compact Lie group using Deligne cohomology. This action is defined as a certain function on the space of smooth maps from the underlying 3-manifold to the classifying space for principal bundles.…

The enumeration of Hamiltonian cycles on 2n*2n grids of nodes is a longstanding problem in combinatorics. Previous work has concentrated on counting all cycles. The current work enumerates nonisomorphic cycles -- that is, the number of…

We classify compact homogeneous geometries of irreducible spherical type and rank at least 2 which admit a transitive action of a compact connected group, up to equivariant 2-coverings. We apply our classification to polar actions on…

We estimate from below the number of lines meeting each of given 4 disjoint smooth closed curves in a given cyclic order in the real projective 3-space and in a given linear order in the Euclidean 3-space. Similarly, we estimate the number…

Let p be a prime and let A be a subset of F_p. For k<p let X_{A,k} be the (k-1)-dimensional complex on the vertex set F_p with a full (k-2)-skeleton whose (k-1)-faces are k-subsets S of F_p such that the sum of the elements of S belongs to…

We compute the homology of the space of equivariant loops on the classifying space of a simplicial monoid $M$ with anti-involution, provided $\pi_0 (M)$ is central in the homology ring of $M$. The proof is similar to McDuff and Segal's…
