In this paper we propose and partially carry out a program to use $K$-theory to refine the topological realization problem of unstable algebras over the Steenrod algebra. In particular, we establish a suitable form of algebraic models for…

Let $p$ be a prime number. Motivated by the local lifting problem for $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^n$ with $n>1$, we prove several new results on certain $\mathbb{F}_p$-vector spaces of logarithmic differential forms on the projective line in…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $S_2(\Gamma(p))$ be the space of weight $2$ cusp forms for the principal congruence subgroup $\Gamma(p)$. Then $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ acts on $S_2(\Gamma(p))$ in a natural way. Around 1928, Hecke proved…

The mod p cohomology of a space comes with an action of the Steenrod Algebra. L. Schwartz [A propos de la conjecture de non realisation due a N. Kuhn, Invent. Math. 134, No 1, (1998) 211--227] proved a conjecture due to N. Kuhn [On…

Let $\phi:\Z/p\to GL_{n}(\Z)$ denote an integral representation of the cyclic group of prime order $p$. This induces a $\Z/p$-action on the torus $X=\R^{n}/\Z^{n}$. The goal of this paper is to explicitly compute the cohomology groups…

The notion of highly structured ring spectra of prime characteristic is made precise and is studied via the versal examples S//p for prime numbers p. These can be realized as Thom spectra, and therefore relate to other Thom spectra such as…

Let $p$ be prime. We prove that, for $n$ odd, the $p$-torsion part of $\pi_q(S^{n})$ has cardinality at most $p^{2^{\frac{1}{p-1}(q-n+3-2p)}}$, and hence has rank at most $2^{\frac{1}{p-1}(q-n+3-2p)}$. For $p=2$ these results also hold for…

We define H{\"o}lder classes in the $L^p$ norm on a chord-arc curve in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and prove direct and inverse approximation theorems for functions from these classes by functions harmonic in a neighborhood of the curve. The…

Let $s$ be a fixed positive integer constant, $\varepsilon$ be a fixed small positive number. Then, provided that a prime $p$ is large enough, we prove that for any set $\{{\mathcal M}\subseteq \mathbb F_p^*$ of size $|{\mathcal M}|=…

The vertex algebras $V^{(p)}$ and $R^{(p)}$ introduced in [2] are very interesting relatives of the famous triplet algebras of logarithmic CFT. The algebra $V^{(p)}$ (respectively, $R^{(p)}$) is a large extension of the simple affine vertex…

Let $A$ be a differential graded algebra with cohomology ring $H^*A$. A graded module over $H^*A$ is called \emph{realisable} if it is (up to direct summands) of the form $H^*M$ for some differential graded $A$-module $M$. Benson, Krause…

The existence of a projective plane of order $p\equiv3\pmod{4}$, where $p$ is a prime power, is shown to be equivalent to the existence of a balancedly multi-splittable embeddable $p^2\times p(p+1)$ partial Hadamard matrix.

For a prime $p\equiv 3$ $(\text{mod }4)$, let $h(-8p)$ and $h(8p)$ be the class numbers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2p})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2p})$, respectively. Let $\Psi(\xi)$ be the Hirzebruch sum of a quadratic irrational $\xi$. We show…

Let $L/K$ be an extension of number fields that is ramified above $p$. We give a new obstruction to the descent to $K$ of smooth projective varieties defined over $L$. The obstruction is a matrix of $p$-adic numbers that we call ``ramified…

Let $S^{2n+1}\{p\}$ denote the homotopy fibre of the degree $p$ self map of $S^{2n+1}$. For primes $p \ge 5$, work of Selick shows that $S^{2n+1}\{p\}$ admits a nontrivial loop space decomposition if and only if $n=1$ or $p$.…

The Steenrod algebra can not be realised as an enveloping of any Lie superalgebra. We list several problems that suggest a need to modify the definition of the enveloping algebra, for example, to get rid of certain strange deformations…

``What kind of ring can be represented as the singular cohomology ring of a space?'' is a classic problem in algebraic topology, posed by Steenrod. In this paper, we consider this problem when rings are the graded Stanley-Reisner rings, in…

We prove a $p$-converse theorem for elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$ with complex multiplication by the ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ in which $p$ is ramified. Namely, letting $r_p =…

For a prime $p>3$, let $D$ be the discriminant of an imaginary quadratic order with $|D|< \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}\sqrt{p}$. We research the solutions of the class polynomial $H_D(X)$ mod $p$ in $\mathbb{F}_p$ if $D$ is not a quadratic residue in…

In this paper, we show the equivalence between the boundedness of the Riesz transform $d\Delta^{-1/2}$ on $L^p$, $p\in (2,p_0)$, and the equality $H^p=L^p$, $p\in(2,p_0)$, in the class of manifold whose measure is doubling and for which the…
