We explicitly describe cohomology of the sheaf of differential forms with poles along a semiample divisor on a complete simplicial toric variety. As an application, we obtain a new vanishing theorem which is an analogue of the…

Classical Hodge theory endows the square integrable cohomology of a Shimura variety X with values in a locally homogeneous polarized variation of Hodge structure E with a natural Hodge decomposition. The theory of Morihiko Saito does the…

Let $(\mathsf{G},\mathsf{X})$ be a Shimura datum of Hodge type. Let $p$ be an odd prime such that $\mathsf{G}_{\mathbb{Q}_p}$ splits after a tamely ramified extension and $p\nmid |\pi_1(\mathsf{G}^{\rm der})|$. Under some mild additional…

We show that special cycles generate a large part of the cohomology of locally symmetric spaces associated to orthogonal groups. We prove in particular that classes of totally geodesic submanifolds generate the cohomology groups of degree…

The goal of this paper is to show that the cohomology of compact unitary Shimura varieties is concentrated in the middle degree and torsion-free, after localizing at a maximal ideal of the Hecke algebra satisfying a suitable genericity…

Let $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{Z})$ for all prime $p$. Borel--Serre demonstrated that the cohomology of $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ vanishes above degree $n^2$. We prove…

We generalize a theorem of Tate and show that the second cohomology of the Weil group of a global or local field with coefficients in $\C^*$ (or more generally, with coefficients in the complex points of a tori over $\C$) vanish, where the…

This paper contains a Kawamata-Viehweg-Koll\'ar type vanishing theorem for vector bundles. In order to formulate and prove this cleanly, we introduce a class of sheaves that automatically satisfies a vanishing theorem. This is obtained by…

This article contains a new argument which proves vanishing of the first cohomology for negative vector bundles over a complex projective variety if the rank of the bundle is smaller than the dimension of the base. Similar argument is…

We use Cox's description for sheaves on toric varieties and results about the local cohomology with respect to monomial ideals to give a characteristic free approach to vanishing results on arbitrary toric varieties. As an application, we…

We prove that the intersection cohomology of the Baily-Borel compactification of a complex Shimura variety is identified with the top weight quotient of the mixed Hodge structure on the reductive Borel-Serre compactification. This yields…

In this manuscript we consider the extent to which an irreducible representation for a reductive Lie group can be realized as the sheaf cohomolgy of an equivariant holomorphic line bundle defined on an open invariant submanifold of a…

Let $E$ be a vector bundle and $L$ be a line bundle over a smooth projective variety $X$. In this article, we give a condition for the vanishing of Dolbeault cohomology groups of the form $H^{p,q}(X,\SSS^{\alpha}E\otimes \wedge^{\beta}…

Given an embedded smooth projective variety Y in CP^n, we show how the existence of a hypersurface with high multiplicity along Y, but of relatively low degree and log canonical near Y implies vanishing of higher cohomology for certain…

We obtain non-vanishing of group $L^p$-cohomology of Lie groups for $p$ large and when the degree is equal to the rank of the group. This applies both to semisimple and to some suitable solvable groups. In particular, it confirms that…

We use the toric degeneration of Bott-Samelson varieties and the description of cohomolgy of line bundles on toric varieties to deduce vanishings results for the cohomology of lines bundles on Bott-Samelson varieties.

In a previous paper, the author (together with Matthew Emerton) proved that the completed cohomology groups of SL_N(Z) are stable in fixed degree as N goes to infinity (Z may be replaced by the ring O_F of integers of any number field). In…

A particular case of Bergeron-Venkatesh's conjecture predicts that torsion classes in the cohomology of Shimura varieties are rather rare. According to this and for Kottwitz-Harris-Taylor type of Shimura varieties, we first associate to…

Let $X$ be a closed equidimensional local complete intersection subscheme of a smooth projective scheme $Y$ over a field, and let $X_t$ denote the $t$-th thickening of $X$ in $Y$. Fix an ample line bundle $\mathcal{O}_Y(1)$ on $Y$. We prove…

We explore a relationship between the classical representation theory of a complex, semisimple Lie algebra \g and the resonance varieties R(V,K)\subset V^* attached to irreducible \g-modules V and submodules K\subset V\wedge V. In the…
