We present some results on reductions and the copolarity of isometric group actions, which we obtained in our thesis. We also describe a resolution construction for isometric actions with respect to a reduction and give examples.

Motivated by an application to LDPC (low density parity check) algebraic geometry codes described by Voloch and Zarzar, we describe a computational procedure for establishing an upper bound on the arithmetic or geometric Picard number of a…

We compare algebraic objects related to a compact quantum group action on a unital C*-algebra in the sense of Podle\'s and Baum et al. and show that they differ by the kernel of the morphism describing the action. Then we address ways to…

We study actions of discrete groups on contractible topological spaces in which either (1) all stabilizers lie in the family of subgroups of prime power order or (2) all stabilizers lie in the family of finite subgroups. We compare the…

We investigate coherency properties of certain completed integral group rings, precisely for compact $p$-adic Lie groups.

We show that topological amenability of an action of a countable discrete group on a compact space is equivalent to the existence of an invariant mean for the action. We prove also that this is equivalent to vanishing of bounded cohomology…

We compute some particular examples of cohomological Chow groups for varieties with isolated singularities. For higher-dimensional varieties, we compute the cohomological Chow groups of codimension one, provided that the dual complex…

We compute the p-adic geometric pro-\'etale cohomology of the affine space (in any dimension). This cohomogy is non-zero, contrary to the \'etale cohomology, and can be described by means of differential forms.

We construct locally compact groups with no non-trivial Invariant Random Subgroups and no non-trivial Uniformly Recurrent Subgroups.

In this paper we compute the integral cohomology of the discrete groups SL(2,Z[1/p]), where p is any prime.

For groups with a uniform bound on the length of chains of finite subgroups, we study the relationship between the Bredon cohomological dimension for proper actions and the notions of cohomological dimension one obtains by restricting the…

Let Delta_{n-1} denote the (n-1)-dimensional simplex. Let Y be a random k-dimensional subcomplex of Delta_{n-1} obtained by starting with the full (k-1)-dimensional skeleton of Delta_{n-1} and then adding each k-simplex independently with…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We construct a non-abelian extension $\Gamma$ of $S^1$ by $Z/p \times Z/p$, and prove that any finite subgroup of $\Gamma$ acts freely and smoothly on $S^{2p-1} \times S^{2p-1}$. In particular, for each odd prime…

We prove that there is a bound on the dimension of the first cohomology group of a finite group with coefficients in an absolutely irreducible in characteristic p in terms of the sectional p-rank of the group.

Let X be a an affine smooth symplectic variety over $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z},$ and A be its deformation quantization over the p-adic integers. We prove that for all $n\geq 1,$ the Hochschild cohomogy of $A/p^nA$ is isomorphic to the de…

We show that there is no simple congruence formula for the number of points of the mod p reduction of a regular model of a smooth proper variety defined over a local field with $\ell$-adic cohomology supported in codimension $\ge \kappa$.

In this paper we prove the discrete compactness property for a wide class of p-version finite element approximations of non-elliptic variational eigenvalue problems in two and three space dimensions. In a very general framework, we find…

This work deals with the presence of topological defects in k-field models, where the dynamics is generalized to include higher order power in the kinetic term. We investigate kinks in (1,1) dimensions and vortices in (2,1) dimensions,…

Let $F\hookrightarrow E\twoheadrightarrow B$ be a fibration whose base space $B$ is a finite simply-connected CW-complex of dimension $\leq p$ and whose total space $E$ is a path-connected CW-complex of dimension $\leq p-1$. If $\alpha\in…

We give an anecdotal discussion of the problem of searching for polynomials with all roots on the unit circle, whose coefficients are rational numbers subject to certain congruence conditions. We illustrate with an example from a…
