We introduce a theory of cohomological invariants with mod $p^r$ coefficients for algebraic stacks in characteristic $p$. Using these new tools we complete the computation of the Brauer group and cohomological invariants of the stack of…

We are familiar with properties and structure of topological spaces. One of the powerful tools, which help us to figure out the structure of topological spaces is (Leray- Serre) spectral sequence. Although Eilenberg-Maclane space plays…

A topological version of a longstanding conjecture of H. Hopf, originally proposed by W. Thurston, states that the sign of the Euler characteristic of a closed aspherical manifold of dimension $d=2m$ depends only on the parity of $m$.…

In this paper we establish a connection between the cohomology of a modular Lie algebra and its p-envelopes. We also compute the cohomology of Zassenhaus algebras and their minimal p-envelopes with coefficients in generalized baby Verma…

We obtain a precise relation between the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson class of a subvariety of projective space and the Euler characteristics of its general linear sections. In the case of a hypersurface, this leads to simple proofs of…

Let $X(P,\lambda)$ be a 4-dimensional toric orbifold associated to a polygon $P$ and a characteristic function $\lambda$. Assuming that $X(P,\lambda)$ is locally smooth over a vertex of $P$, we determine the integral cohomology ring…

We prove a uniform local non-collapsing volume estimate for a large family of singular metrics in the big cohomology classes, which are K\"ahler on an open Euclidean subset of the manifold. The key ingredient is a generalization of a mixed…

Let $G=Sp(4,\mathbb{R})$ and let $\pi$ be an irreducible, unitary representation of $G$ which is cohomological with respect to trivial coefficients. Using the inclusion from $SO(5,\mathbb{C})$ to $GL(5,\mathbb{C})$, we transfer $\pi$ to an…

A well-known question by Gromov asks whether the vanishing of the simplicial volume of oriented closed connected aspherical manifolds implies the vanishing of the Euler characteristic. We study various versions of Gromov's question and…

The purpose of this paper is to generalise Sullivan's rational homotopy theory to non-nilpotent spaces, providing an alternative approach to defining Toen's schematic homotopy types over any field k of characteristic zero. New features…

Combings of oriented compact 3-manifolds are homotopy classes of nowhere zero vector fields in these manifolds. A first known invariant of a combing is its Euler class, that is the Euler class of the normal bundle to a combing…

We re-examine the problem of gauging the Wess-Zumino term of a d-dimensional bosonic sigma-model. We phrase this problem in terms of the equivariant cohomology of the target space and this allows for the homological analysis of the…

The Getzler's formula relates the S_n-equivariant Hodge-Deligne polynomial of the space of ordered tuples of distinct points on a given variety X with the Hodge-Deligne polynomial of X. We obtain the analogue of this formula for the case…

In this paper we study the compatible family of degree-4 Scholl representations $\rho_{\ell}$ associated with a space $S$ of weight $\kappa> 2$ noncongruence cusp forms satisfying Quaternion Multiplications over a biquadratic field $K$. It…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated Fuchsian group of the first kind which has at least one parabolic class. Eichler introduced a cohomology theory for Fuchsian groups, called as "Eichler cohomology theory", and established the…

This survey summarizes the results discussed in a talk at "Bielefeld Geometry & Topology Days" held at Bielefeld University in July 2015. We are interested in quantitative and qualitative properties of Bott-Chern cohomology. We announce new…

It is well known that the Euler characteristic of an odd dimensional compact manifold is zero. An Euler complex is a combinatorial analogue of a compact manifold. We present here an elementary proof of the corresponding result for Euler…

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…

In this paper, we study some properties of Euler polynomials arising from umbral calculus. Finally, we give some interesting identities of Euler polynomials using our results. Recently, Dere and Simsek have studied umbral calculus related…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. For a compact Lie group $G$ and an elementary abelian $p$-group $A$ of $G$, one may define the Weyl group $W_A$ of $A$ in a similar fashion as defining the Weyl group of a maximal torus, such that $W_A$ acts on…
