To study infinitesimal deformation problems with cohomology constraints, we introduce and study cohomology jump functors for differential graded Lie algebra (DGLA) pairs. We apply this to local systems, vector bundles, Higgs bundles, and…

We prove that the cohomology jump loci of rank one local systems on the complement in a small ball of a germ of a complex analytic set are finite unions of torsion translates of subtori. This is a generalization of the classical Monodromy…

We describe a method for counting maps of curves of given genus (and variable moduli) to $\Bbb P^2$, essentially by splitting the $\Bbb P^2$ in two; then specialising to the case of genus 0 we show that the method of quantum cohomology may…

Deletion-restriction is a fundamental tool in the theory of hyperplane arrangements. Various important results in this field have been proved using deletion-restriction. In this paper we use deletion-restriction to identify a class of toric…

Let X be a complex smooth quasi-projective variety with a fixed epimorphism $\nu\colon\pi_1(X)\twoheadrightarrow \mathbb{Z}$. In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behaviour of invariants such as Betti numbers with all possible field…

We show that the universal abelian cover of the complement to a germ of a reducible divisor on a complex space $Y$ with isolated singularity is $(dimY-2)$-connected provided that the divisor has normal crossings outside of the singularity…

For a topological space, we investigate its cohomology support loci, sitting inside varieties of (nonabelian) representations of the fundamental group. To do this, for a CDG (commutative differential graded) algebra, we define its…

Under a certain condition A we give a construction to calculate the intersection cohomology of a rank one local system on the complement to a hyperplane-like divisor

The cohomology jump loci of a space $X$ are of two basic types: the characteristic varieties, defined in terms of homology with coefficients in rank one local systems, and the resonance varieties, constructed from information encoded in…

We study cohomology with coefficients in a rank one local system on the complement of an arrangement of hyperplanes $\A$. The cohomology plays an important role for the theory of generalized hypergeometric functions. We combine several…

We determine an explicit presentation by generators and relations of the cohomology algebra $H^*(\mathbb P^2\setminus C,\mathbb C)$ of the complement to an algebraic curve $C$ in the complex projective plane $\mathbb P^2$, via the study of…

Cohomology support loci of rank one local systems of a smooth quasiprojective complex algebraic variety are finite unions of torsion-translated complex subtori of the character variety of the fundamental group. Tangent spaces of the…

We consider the complement to an arrangement of hyperplanes in a cartesian power of an elliptic curve and describe its cohomology with coefficients in a nontrivial rank one local system.

We compute the cohomology with group ring coefficients of the complement of a finite collection of affine hyperplanes in a finite dimensional complex vector space. It is nonzero in exactly one degree, namely the degree equal to the rank of…

We prove that the cohomology jump loci in the space of rank one local systems over a smooth quasi-projective variety are finite unions of torsion translates of subtori. The main ingredients are a recent result of Dimca-Papadima, some…

In this article a higher order support theory, called the cohomological jump loci, is introduced and studied for dg modules over a Koszul extension of a local dg algebra. The generality of this setting applies to dg modules over local…

We use augmented commutative differential graded algebra (ACDGA) models to study $G$-representation varieties of fundamental groups $\pi=\pi_1(M)$ and their embedded cohomology jump loci, around the trivial representation 1. When the space…

We use stratified Morse theory to construct a complex to compute the cohomology of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement with coefficients in a complex rank one local system. The linearization of this complex is shown to be the…

We examine logarithmic connections with vanishing p-curvature on smooth curves by studying their kernels, describing them in terms of formal local decomposition. We then apply our results in the case of connections of rank 2 on P^1,…
