In this paper we outline a recent construction of a Chern-Weil isomorphism for the equivariant Brauer group of $\mathbb R^n$ actions on a principal torus bundle, where the target for this isomorphism is a "dimensionally reduced" \vCech…

Let $T$ be an algebraic torus defined over a global field $K$ and split over a finite cyclic extension. In this paper, we determine the Herbrand quotient of the ad\'{e}le class group of $T$. Our result can be seen as an extension of the…

We use the theory of Condensed Mathematics to build a condensed cohomology theory for the Weil group of a $p$-adic field. The cohomology groups are proved to be locally compact abelian groups of finite ranks in some special cases. This…

We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of non-trivial Steenrod actions on the mod-$2$ cohomology of 4-dimensional toric orbifolds. As applications, the stable homotopy type and the gauge groups of a $4$-dimensional…

We give a method for computing factorization homology of $\oper{E}_n$-algebra using as an input an algebraic version of higher Hochschild homology due to Pirashvili. We then show how to compute higher Hochschild homology and cohomology when…

In this paper, we introduce Adem-Cartan operads and prove that the cohomology of any algebra over such an operad is an unstable level algebra over the extended Steenrod algebra. Moreover we prove that this cohomology is endowed with…

We introduce the notion of Azumaya object in general homotopy-theoretic settings. We give a self-contained account of Azumaya objects and Brauer groups in bicategorical contexts, generalizing the Brauer group of a commutative ring. We go on…

We introduce a new cohomology for Lie algebroids, and prove that it provides a differential graded Lie algebra which ``controls'' deformations of the structure bracket of the algebroid. We also have a closer look at various special cases…

Minahan and the author recently proved results that allow the calculation of the second rational cohomology group of the Torelli group. This builds on two key ingredients: Hain's calculation of the image of the cup product pairing on the…

A theorem of Cantat and Urech says that an analog of the classical Tits alternative holds for the group of birational automorphisms of a compact complex Kaehler surface. We established in our previous paper the following Tits-type…

We show for bicommutative graded connected Hopf algebras that a certain distributive (Laplace) subgroup of the convolution monoid of 2-cochains parameterizes certain well behaved Hopf algebra deformations. Using the Laplace group, or its…

The purpose of this article is to investigate the intersection cohomology for algebraic varieties with torus action. Given an algebraic torus $\mathbb{T}$, one of our result determines the intersection cohomology Betti numbers of any normal…

A category of Brauer diagrams, analogous to Turaev's tangle category, is introduced, and a presentation of the category is given; specifically, we prove that seven relations among its four generating homomorphisms suffice to deduce all…

We provide a relation between Brauer-Manin obstruction and descent obstruction for torsors over open varieties under a connected linear algebraic group or a group of multiplicative type is given. Such a relation is further refined for…

The rational Borel equivariant cohomology for actions of a compact connected Lie group is determined by restriction of the action to a maximal torus. We show that a similar reduction holds for any compact Lie group $G$ when there is a…

We provide explicit generators for the torsion of the second cohomology of bielliptic surfaces, and we use this to study pullback map between Brauer group of a bielliptic surface and that of its canonical cover.

Let K be a complete discretely valued field with residue field k. If char(K) = 0, char(k) = 2 and the 2-rank of k is d, we prove that there exists an integer N depending on d such that the u-invariant of any function field in one variable…

We describe a method for computing the Cassels-Tate pairing on the 2-Selmer group of the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve. This can be used to improve the upper bound coming from 2-descent for the rank of the group of rational points on the…

We report on the computation of torsion in certain homology theories of congruence subgroups of SL(4,Z). Among these are the usual group cohomology, the Tate-Farrell cohomology, and the homology of the sharbly complex. All of these theories…
