We consider the moduli spaces of flat $SL(n, C)$-bundles on Riemann surfaces with one puncture when we fix the conjugacy class ${\cal C}$ of the monodromy transformation around the puncture. We show that under a certain condition on the…

We extend the results of Riemannian geometry over finite groups and provide a full classification of all linear connections for the minimal noncommutative differential calculus over a finite cyclic group. We solve the torsion-free and…

We show that mapping class groups associated to all types of real algebraic curves are virtual duality groups. We also deduce some results about the orbifold homotopy groups of the moduli spaces of real algebraic curves. We achieve these…

The homology groups of the automorphism group of a free group are known to stabilize as the number of generators of the free group goes to infinity, and this paper relativizes this result to a family of groups that can be defined in terms…

In this paper, we examine the relation between certain subclasses of the classes of Gorenstein projective, Gorenstein flat and Gorenstein injective modules over a group algebra, which consist of the cofibrant, cofibrant-flat and fibrant…

We show that for any compact Lie group $G$ with identity component $N$ and component group $W=G/N$, the category of free rational $G$-spectra is equivalent to the category of torsion modules over the twisted group ring $H^*(BN)[W]$. This…

We find the automorphism group of the moduli space of parabolic bundles on a smooth curve (with fixed determinant and system of weights). This group is generated by: automorphisms of the marked curve, tensoring with a line bundle, taking…

We prove in this paper that the genus zero data of a modular functor determines the modular functor. We do this by establishing that the S-matrix in genus one with one point labeled arbitrarily can be expressed in terms of the genus zero…

We study the commutator subgroup of integral orthogonal groups belonging to indefinite quadratic forms. We show that the index of this commutator is 2 for many groups that occur in the construction of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, in…

Mapping class groups of Haken 3-manifolds enjoy many of the homological finiteness properties of mapping class groups of 2-manifolds of finite type. For example, H(M) has a torsionfree subgroup of finite index, which is geometrically finite…

The so-called class-invariant homomorphism $\psi$ measures the Galois module structure of torsors--under a finite flat group scheme $G$--which lie in the image of a coboundary map associated to an isogeny between (N\'eron models of) abelian…

In this note we prove injectivity and relative asphericity for "layered" systems of equations over torsion-free groups, when the exponent matrix is invertible over Z. We also give elementary geometric proofs of results due to Bogley-Pride…

We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of…

In this paper we compute the mapping class group of closed simply-connected 6-manifolds $M$ which look like complete intersections, i.~e.~ $H_2(M;\mathbb Z) \cong \mathbb Z $ and $x^3 \ne 0$ where $x \in H^2(M; \mathbb Z)$ is a generator.…

We introduce a new method to study rational conjugacy of torsion units in integral group rings using integral and modular representation theory. Employing this new method, we verify the first Zassenhaus Conjecture for the group…

In this paper, we classify several subcategories of the category of coherent sheaves on a noetherian divisorial scheme (e.g. a quasi-projective scheme over a commutative noetherian ring). More precisely, we classify the torsionfree (resp.…

Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and X be a spherical conjugacy class of G. We determine the decomposition of the coordinate ring of X into simple G-modules.

We construct projective moduli spaces for torsion-free sheaves on noncommutative projective planes. These moduli spaces vary smoothly in the parameters describing the noncommutative plane and have good properties analogous to those of…

We study algebras of meromorphic modular forms whose poles lie on Heegner divisors for orthogonal and unitary groups associated to root lattices. We give a uniform construction of $147$ hyperplane arrangements on type IV symmetric domains…

Our goal is to better understand the relationship between the polyhedron and the group associated with a fundamental domain in H^3. In this paper, we will study torsion-free groups and determine a formula for how many edge classes a given…
