The existence of nontrivial cup products or Massey products in the cohomology of a manifold leads to inequalities of systolic type, but in general such inequalities are not optimal (tight). Gromov proved an {optimal} systolic inequality for…

Let $p$ be a prime. We resolve a question posed by Min\'a\v{c}-Rogelstad-T\^an. We relate the Zassenhaus and the lower central series of pro-$p$ groups under a torsion-freeness condition. We also study graph products of (pro-$p$) groups…

We show that the existence of a nontrivial Massey product in the cohomology ring H^*(X) imposes global constraints upon the Riemannian geometry of a manifold X. Namely, we exhibit a suitable systolic inequality, associated to such a…

Let p be a prime. We study pro-p groups of p-absolute Galois type, as defined by Lam-Liu-Sharifi-Wake-Wang. We prove that the pro-p completion of the right-angled Artin group associated to a chordal simplicial graph is of p-absolute Galois…

We introduce a cochain complex for ample groupoids $\mathcal G$ using a flat resolution defining their homology with coefficients in $\mathbb Z$. We prove that the cohomology of this cochain complex with values in a $\mathcal G$-module $M$…

We give formulas for 3-fold Massey products in the \'etale cohomology of the ring of integers of a number field and use these to find the first known examples of imaginary quadratic fields with class group of $p$-rank two possessing an…

We show that, in general, there exist non-vanishing triple Massey products in the cohomology with finite field coefficients of a complex hypersurface complement. In contrast, the Massey products, triple and higher, in the rational…

We study the $p$-adic loop group Iwahori-Hecke algebra $\mathcal{H}(G^+,I)$ constructed by Braverman, Kazhdan, and Patnaik and give positive answers to two of their conjectures. First, we algebraically develop the "double coset basis" of…

We show that the Galois cohomology groups of $p$-adic representations of a direct power of $\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}_p}/\mathbb{Q}_p)$ can be computed via the generalization of Herr's complex to multivariable…

We study the vanishing of triple Massey products for absolutely irreducible smooth projective curves over a number field. For each genus $g > 1$ and each prime $\ell > 3$, we construct examples of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ for which…

We compare two maps that arise in study of the cohomology of number fields with ramification restricted to a finite set S of primes. One of these maps, which we call an S-reciprocity map, interpolates the values of cup products in…

Let $(\mathcal{K},\mathcal{O},k)$ be a $p$-modular system with $k$ algebraically closed, let $b$ be a block of the normal subgroup $H$ of $G$ having defect pointed group $Q_\delta$ in $H$ and $P_\gamma$ in $G$, and consider the block…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension $d$ and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Let $G$ be the associated graded ring of $A$ \wrt \ $I$ and let $\R = A[It,t^{-1}]$ be the extended Rees ring of $A$ with…

We compute the ${\mathbb F}_p$-dimension of an $n$-th graded piece $G_{(n)}/G_{(n+1)}$ of the Zassenhaus filtration for various finitely generated pro-$p$-groups $G$. These groups include finitely generated free pro-$p$-groups, Demushkin…

Let $G$ be a group which is the semidirect product of a normal subgroup $N$ and some subgroup $T$. Let $I^n(G)$, $n\ge 1$, denote the powers of the augmentation ideal $I(G)$ of the group ring $\Z(G)$. Using homological methods the groups…

Let G be a compact p-adic analytic group. We study K-theoretic questions related to the representation theory of the completed group algebra kG of G with coefficients in a finite field k of characteristic p. We show that if M is a finitely…

We study the cup product on the Hochschild cohomology of the stack quotient [X/G] of a smooth quasi-projective variety X by a finite group G. More specifically, we construct a G-equivariant sheaf of graded algebras on X whose G-invariant…

We prove that the vanishing of the module of universal norms associated with a de Rham Galois representation whose Hodge-Tate weights are not all non-positive characterises the algebraic extensions of the field of $p$-adic numbers whose…

We develop the foundations of effective ultraproducts of fields and their Galois groups using the methods of computability theory. These computability-theoretic analogs of ultraproducts are called cohesive products, since the role of an…

The graded Iwahori--Matsumoto involution $\mathbb{IM}$ is an algebra involution on a graded Hecke algebra closely related to the more well-known Iwahori--Matsumoto involution on an affine Hecke algebra. It induces an involution on the…
