Orbits of coadjoint representations of classical compact Lie groups have a lot of applications. They appear in representation theory, geometrical quantization, theory of magnetism, quantum optics etc. As geometric objects the orbits were…
In these notes, we survey the homology of the loop group Omega(K) of a compact group K, also known as the affine Grassmannian of a complex loop group. Using the Bott picture of H_*(Omega(K)), the homology algebra or Pontryagin ring, we…
We give a criterion for the Kostant-Kirillov form on an adjoint orbit in a real semisimple Lie group to be exact. We explicitly compute the second cohomology of all the nilpotent adjoint orbits in every complex simple Lie algebras.
This is an expository article. We survey some fundamental trends in representation theory of symmetric groups and related objects which became apparent in the last fifteen years. The emphasis is on connections with Lie theory via…
In this note, generalizing earlier work of Nakajima and Vasserot, we study the (equivariant) cohomology rings of Hilbert schemes of certain toric surfaces and establish their connections to Fock space and Jack polynomials.
We provide a Cuntz-Pimsner model for graph of groups $C^*$-algebras. This allows us to compute the $K$-theory of a range of examples and show that graph of groups $C^*$-algebras can be realised as Exel-Pardo algebras. We also make a…
On the category of pairs of topological spaces having a homotopy type of $CW$ complexes the singular (co)homology theory was axiomatically studied by J.Milnor. In particular, Milnor gave additivity axiom for a (co)homology theory and proved…
Group cohomology of polynomial growth is defined for any finitely generated discrete group, using cochains that have polynomial growth with respect to the word length function. We give a geometric condition that guarantees that it agrees…
We define a version of Hochschild homology and cohomology suitable for a class of algebras admitting compatible actions of bialgebras, called module algebras. We show this (co)homology, called Hopf--Hochschild (co)homology, can also be…
We introduce two families of symmetric functions with an extra parameter t that specialize to Schubert representatives for cohomology and homology of the affine Grassmannian when t = 1. The families are defined by a statistic on…
We introduce the concept of 3-Lie-Rinehart superalgebra and systematically describe a cohomology complex by considering coefficient modules. Furthermore, we study the relationships between a Lie-Rinehart superalgebra and its induced…
The homology cobordism group of homology cylinders is a generalization of both the mapping class group of surfaces and the string link concordance group. We consider extensions of Johnson homomorphisms of a mapping class group, Milnor…
We show how an approach to Smith Theory about group actions on CW-complexes using Bredon cohomology can be adapted to work for algebraic varieties.
This is an expository paper discussing various versions of Khovanov homology theories, interrelations between them, their properties, and their applications to other areas of knot theory and low-dimensional topology.
We study $T$-linear schemes, a class of objects that includes spherical and Schubert varieties. We provide a localization theorem for the equivariant Chow cohomology of these schemes that does not depend on resolution of singularities.…
We derive the Pimsner-Voiculescu sequence calculating the K-theory of a $C^{*}$- algebra with $\mathbb{Z}$-action using constructions with equivariant coarse K-homology theory. We then investigate to which extend this idea extends to more…
These notes are based on a series of lectures given by the author at the Centre Bernoulli (EPFL) in July 2016. They aim at illustrating the importance of the mod-$\ell$ cohomology of Deligne--Lusztig varieties in the modular representation…
In this paper we compute Lawson homology groups and semi-topological K-theory for some threefolds and fourfolds. We consider smooth complex projective varieties whose zero cycles are supported on a proper subvariety. Rationally connected…
The purpose of this paper is to compute the second adjoint cohomology group of q-deformed Witt superalgebras. They are Hom-Lie superalgebras obtained by q-deformation of Witt Lie superalgebra, that is one considers $\sigma$-derivations…
Let $\mathcal C$ be a small category with cofibrations. In this paper, we define the $K$-theory and Hochschild homology groups of $\mathcal C$ of order $Y$, where $Y$ is an ordered finite simplicial set with basepoint. Further, we construct…
