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…

This article studies codimension one foliations on projective man-ifolds having a compact leaf (free of singularities). It explores the interplay between Ueda theory (order of flatness of the normal bundle) and the holo-nomy representation…

We study properties of compactly supported $p$-adic pro-\'etale cohomology of smooth partially proper rigid analytic varieties. In particular, we prove a comparison theorem, in a stable range, with compactly supported syntomic cohomology,…

We prove that given an analytic action of a compact $p$-adic Lie group on a Banach space over a field of positive characteristic, one can detect either the simultaneous vanishing or the simultaneous finite-dimensionality of all of the…

We give a length one projective resolution of the trivial module for the groupoid of a semi-saturated partial action (in the sense of Exel) of a free group on a compact Hausdorff and totally disconnected space. As a consequence we obtain an…

Let $G = \ZZ_p$, $p$ an odd prime, act freely on a finite-dimensional CW-complex $X$ with mod $p$ cohomology isomorphic to that of a lens space $L^{2m-1} (p;q_1,...,q_m)$. In this paper, we determine the mod $p$ cohomology ring of the orbit…

We prove that a Lie $p$-algebra of cohomological dimension one is one-dimensional, and discuss related questions.

Let \omega be a Pfaff system of differential forms on a projective space. Let S be its singular locus, and Y a solution of \omega=0. We prove Y\cap S is of codimension at most 1 in Y, just as Jouanolou suspected; he proved this result…

Many compactly generated pseudo-groups of local transformations on 1-manifolds are realizable as the transverse dynamic of a foliation of codimension 1 on a compact manifold of dimension 3 or 4.

We relate the dimensions of $L^p$ reduced cohomology spaces in degree k of an ALE manifold to the dimension of some spaces of decaying harmonic forms, depending both on p and on k. In this class of manifolds, this provides an extension to…

In order to have cohomological operations for de Rham p-adic cohomology with coefficients as manageable as possible, the main purpose of this paper is to solve intrinsically and from a cohomological point of view the lifting problem of…

We construct an example announced in the title. It answers in a strong way a well-known open problem in topological dynamics. In fact our construction is an existence theorem. It is based on a Borsuk-Ulam type theorem whose proof heavily…

An n-dimensional polytope P^n is called simple if exactly n codimension-one faces meet at each vertex. The lattice of faces of a simple polytope P^n with m codimension-one faces defines an arrangement of even-dimensional planes in R^{2m}.…

Let K be a p-adic field. We explore Igusa's p-adic zeta function, which is associated to a K-analytic function on an open and compact subset of K^n. First we deduce a formula for an important coefficient in the Laurent series of this…

We give a topological interpretation of the free metabelian group, following the plan described in [Ver1,Ver2]. This interpretation is based on considering the Caley graph of a finitely generated group G as one-dimensional complex; its…

We show that any free action of a connected Lie group of polynomial growth on a finite dimensional locally compact space has finite tube dimension. This is shown to imply that the associated crossed product C*-algebra has finite nuclear…

Let $X$ be a proper, non-compact CAT(-1) space, and $\Gamma$ a discrete cocompact subgroup of the isometries of $X$. We compactify the diagonal action of $\Gamma$ on $X \times X$ considering a domain of the horofunction boundary with…

THEOREM. For every prime $p$ and each $n=2, 3, ... \infty$, there is an action of $G=\prod_{i=1}^{\infty}(Z/ pZ)$ on a two-dimensional compact metric space $X$ with $n$-dimensional orbit space. This theorem was proved in [DW: A.N.…

We study hyperpolar actions on reducible symmetric spaces of the compact type. Our main result is that an indecomposable hyperpolar action on a symmetric space of the compact type is orbit equivalent to a Hermann action or of cohomogeneity…

For a sequence of blow up solutions of the Yamabe equation on non-locally confonformally flat compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension 10 or 11, we establish sharp estimates on its asymptotic profile near blow up points as well as sharp…
