In this paper we provide a wildness criterion for any finite dimensional Hopf algebra with finitely generated cohomology. This generalizes a result of Farnsteiner to not necessarily cocommutative Hopf algebras over ground fields of…

We describe algebraic obstruction theories for realizing an abstract coalgebra K_* over the mod p Steenrod algebra as the homology of a topological space, and for distinguishing between the p-homotopy types of different realizations. The…

We study the moduli spaces which classify smooth surfaces along with a complex line bundle. There are homological stability and Madsen--Weiss type results for these spaces (mostly due to Cohen and Madsen), and we discuss the cohomological…

We construct, study, and apply a characteristic map from the relative periodic cyclic homology of the quotient map for a group action to the periodic Hopf-cyclic homology with coefficients associated with inertia of the action. This result…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite group and $k$ is a field of characteristic $p>0$. A ghost map is a map in the stable category of finitely generated $kG$-modules which induces the zero map in Tate cohomology in all degrees. In an earlier paper…

For the nontrivial action by the cyclic group $C_3$ of order $3$ on the graded polynomial ring $\mathbb{F}_2[a,b]$, we classify the $C_3$-invariant parameter ideals that are closed under Steenrod operations. The classification has…

This paper is about cohomology of mapping class groups from the perspective of arithmetic groups. For a closed surface $S$ of genus $g$, the mapping class group $Mod(S)$ admits a well-known arithmetic quotient $Mod(S)\rightarrow Sp(2g, Z)$,…

In this article, we study the mod $\ell$ cohomology of some Deligne-Lusztig varieties for $\operatorname{GL}_n(q)$. We prove that the cohomology groups of these varieties are torsion-free under some conditions on the characteristic. Under…

G. Walker and R. Wood proved that in degree $2^n-1-n$, the space of indecomposable elements of $\Bbb F_2[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, considered as a module over the mod 2 Steenrod algebra, is isomorphic to the Steinberg representation of $GL_n(\Bbb…

We prove an analogue of the Madsen-Weiss theorem for high dimensional manifolds. For example, we explicitly describe the ring of characteristic classes of smooth fibre bundles whose fibres are connected sums of g copies of S^n x S^n, in the…

We calculate the mod-two cohomology of all alternating groups together, with both cup and transfer product structures, which in particular determines the additive structure and ring structure of the cohomology of individual groups. We show…

Let $G$ be a group acting continuously on a space $X$ and let $X/G$ be its orbit space. Determining the topological or cohomological type of the orbit space $X/G$ is a classical problem in the theory of transformation groups. In this paper,…

The apparatus of motivic stable homotopy theory provides a notion of Euler characteristic for smooth projective varieties, valued in the Grothendieck-Witt ring of the base field. Previous work of the first author and recent work of…

In this paper we explore the isotropic stable motivic homotopy category constructed from the usual stable motivic homotopy category, following the work of Vishik on isotropic motives (see [29]), by killing anisotropic varieties. In…

Special generic maps are smooth maps between smooth manifolds with only definite fold points as their singularities. The problem of whether a closed $n$-manifold admits a special generic map into Euclidean $p$-space for $1 \leq p \leq n$…

We extend Wood's graph theoretic interpretation of certain quotients of the mod $2$ dual Steenrod algebra to quotients of the mod $p$ dual Steenrod algebra where $p$ is an odd prime and to quotients of the $C_2$-equivariant dual Steenrod…

In this article we prove that the numerical Grothendieck group of every smooth proper dg category is invariant under primary field extensions, and also that the mod-n algebraic K-theory of every dg category is invariant under extensions of…

We use motivic colimits to construct power operations on the homotopy groups of normed motivic spectra admitting a (normed) map from HF_2. We establish enough of their standard properties to prove that the motivic dual Steenrod algebra is…

We give several resolutions of the Steinberg representation St_n for the general linear group over a principal ideal domain, in particular over Z. We compare them, and use these results to prove that the computations in [AGM4] are…

Consider the general linear group $G=GL_{n}(K)$ defined over an infinite field $K$ of positive characteristic $p$. We denote by $\Delta(\lambda)$ the Weyl module of $G$ which corresponds to a partition $\lambda$. Let $\lambda, \mu $ be…
