We announce a generalization of Zimmer's cocycle superrigidity theorem proven using harmonic map techniques. This allows us to generalize many results concerning higher rank lattices to all lattices in semisimple groups with property $(T)$.…

We describe in elementary geometrical terms Teichm\" uller spaces of decorated and holed surfaces. We construct explicit global coordinates on them as well as on the spaces of measured laminations with compact and closed support…

Given a contact manifold $M_#$ together with a transversal infinitesimal automorphism $\xi$, we show that any local leaf space $M$ for the foliation determined by $\xi$ naturally carries a conformally symplectic (cs-) structure. Then we…

We study the homomorphism induced in homology by a closed correspondence between topological spaces, using projections from the graph of the correspondence to its domain and codomain. We provide assumptions under which the homomorphism…

In this paper we show that the homology of a certain natural compactification of the moduli space, introduced by Kontsevich in his study of Witten's conjectures, can be described completely algebraically as the homology of a certain…

We provide a formula (see Theorem 1.5) for the Matlis dual of the injective hull of $R/\mathfrak{p}$ where $\mathfrak p$ is a one dimensional prime ideal in a local complete Gorenstein domain $(R,\mathfrak{m})$. This is related to results…

We consider smooth, complex quasi-projective varieties $U$ which admit a compactification with a boundary which is an arrangement of smooth algebraic hypersurfaces. If the hypersurfaces intersect locally like hyperplanes, and the relative…

Let $S$ be a Riemann surface obtained by deleting a finite number of points, called cusps, from a compact Riemann surface. Let $\rho: \pi_1(S)\to Sl(n, \mathbb{C})$ be a semisimple linear representation of $\pi_1(S)$ which is unipotent near…

We prove that for every compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ there exists an $L$-infinity morphism, lifting the usual cup product in cohomology, from the Kodaira-Spencer differential graded Lie algebra to the suspension of the space of linear…

We show that the classical homology theory of Steenrod may be enriched with descriptive set-theoretic information. We prove that the resulting definable homology theory provides a strictly finer invariant than Steenrod homology for compact…

We prove that every continuous mapping from a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $X$ into $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ can be uniformly approximated by $C^\infty$ smooth mappings {\em with no critical points}. This kind of result can be…

For the model two-complex $K$ of the group presentation $\mathcal{P}=\langle x,y\,|\,x^{k+1}yxy \rangle$, with $k\geq1$ odd, we describe representatives for all free and based homotopy classes of maps from $K$ into the real projective plane…

We define Deligne-Beilinson cycle maps for Lichtenbaum cohomology $H_L^m(X, \mathbb Z(n))$ and that with compact supports $H_{c,L}^m(X, \mathbb Z(n))$ of an arbitrary complex algebraic variety $X.$ When $(m,n)=(2,1),$ the homological part…

We propose an explicit relation between the cohomology of compactified and noncompactified moduli spaces of algebraic curves with punctures. This relationship generalizes one between commutative algebras and Lie algebras proposed by Lazard,…

We prove that for any open Riemann surface $N,$ natural number $n\geq 3,$ non-constant harmonic map $h:N\to \mathbb{R}^{n-2}$ and holomorphic 2-form $H$ on $N,$ there exists a weakly complete harmonic map $X=(X_j)_{j=1,\ldots,n}:N \to…

A natural isomorphism between the cyclic object computing the relative cyclic homology of a homogeneous quotient-coalgebra-Galois extension, and the cyclic object computing the cyclic homology of a Galois coalgebra with SAYD coefficients is…

To any compact $K\subset\hat{\mathbb{C}}$ we associate a map $\lambda_K: \hat{\mathbb{C}}\rightarrow\mathbb{N}\cup\{\infty\}$ -- the lambda function of $K$ -- such that a planar continuum $K$ is locally connected if and only if…

We obtain an example of a compact locally conformal symplectic nilmanifold which admits no locally conformal K\"ahler metrics. This gives a new positive answer to a question raised by L. Ornea and M. Verbitsky.

We compute the Poincare polynomial and the cohomology algebra with rational coefficeints of the manifold M_n of real points of the moduli space of algebraic curves of genus 0 with n labeled points. This cohomology is a quadratic algebra,…
