Let ($M$, $\Omega$) be a smooth symplectic manifold and $f:M\rightarrow M$ be a symplectic diffeomorphism of class $C^l$ ($l\geq 3$). Let $N$ be a compact submanifold of $M$ which is boundaryless and normally hyperbolic for $f$. We suppose…

We provide lower and upper bounds on the minimum size of a maximum stable set over graphs of flag spheres, as a function of the dimension of the sphere and the number of vertices. Further, we use stable sets to obtain an improved Lower…

Given a real semisimple connected Lie group $G$ and a discrete subgroup $\Gamma < G$ we prove a precise connection between growth rates of the group $\Gamma$, polyhedral bounds on the joint spectrum of the ring of invariant differential…

Let $p$ be a prime. Consider a tower of smooth projective geometrically irreducible curves over $\mathbb F_p$, $\mathscr C:\cdots\rightarrow C_n\rightarrow\cdots\rightarrow C_1\rightarrow C_0=\mathbb P^1$ whose Galois group is isomorphic to…

Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a book of $I$-bundles, all of whose pages are surfaces of negative Euler characteristic. In this short note, we prove that torsion in the first homology of $\mathcal{B}$ grows subexponentially in the index along any…

The James fibrations give rise to the geometric EHP sequences of homotopy groups of spheres. Using techniques from the Lambda algebra, \cite{BCKQRS66} shows that there are similar long exact sequences of Ext groups defining the $E_{2}-$page…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and fix integers $m$ and $n$ such that $0<m<n\leq (p-1)(p-2)$. We give a $p$-local homotopy decomposition for the loop space of the complex Stiefel manifold $W_{n,m}$. Similar decompositions are given for the loop…

We present a detailed analysis of 2-complete stable homotopy groups, both in the classical context and in the motivic context over C. We use the motivic May spectral sequence to compute the cohomology of the motivic Steenrod algebra over C…

We describe the first stem of the stable homotopy groups of spheres by using some Puppe sequences, Thom complexes, K-Theory and Adams operations following the ideas of J. Frank Adams. We also touch upon the second and the third stems in…

We show that a non-empty subset of an abelian group with a small edge boundary must be large; in particular, if $A$ and $S$ are finite, non-empty subsets of an abelian group such that $S$ is independent, and the edge boundary of $A$ with…

The first main result is a topological rigidity theorem for complete immersed hypersurfaces of spherical space forms which extends similar results due to do Carmo/Warner, Wang/Xia and Longa/Ripoll. Under certain sharp conditions on the…

We establish new results on the possible growth rates for the sequence (f_n) counting the number of orbits of a given oligomorphic group on unordered sets of size n. Macpherson showed that for primitive actions, the growth is at least…

Let p be an odd prime, K a finite extension of Q_p, G=Gal(\bar K/K) the Galois group and e=e(K/Q_p) the ramification index. Suppose T is a p^n torsion representation such that T is isomorphic to a quotient of two G-stable Z_p-lattices in a…

We study the image of a transfer homomorphism in the stable homotopy groups of spheres. Actually, we show that an element of order 8 in the 18 dimensional stable stem is in the image of a double transfer homomorphism, which reproves a…

We prove a general homological stability theorem for certain families of groups equipped with product maps, followed by two theorems of a new kind that give information about the last two homology groups outside the stable range. (These…

We establish a differential $d_2(D_1)=h_0^2h_3g_2$ in the $51$-stem of the Adams spectral sequence at the prime $2$, which gives the first correct calculation of the stable 51 and 52 stems. This differential is remarkable since we know of…

For d=2n+1 a positive odd integer, we consider sequences of arithmetic subgroups of SO_0(d,1) and Spin(d,1) yielding corresponding hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume and show that, under appropriate and natural assumptions, the torsion…

In a previous paper, the author (together with Matthew Emerton) proved that the completed cohomology groups of SL_N(Z) are stable in fixed degree as N goes to infinity (Z may be replaced by the ring O_F of integers of any number field). In…

We consider a sequence of $C^2$ (or $C^3$) Anosov maps of the two-dimensional torus that satisfy a common cone condition, and show that if their $C^2$ (respectively, $C^3$) norms are uniformly bounded, then the non-stationary stable…

We compute the spoke-graded $C_3$-equivariant stable homotopy groups of spheres $\pi_{i, j}^{C_3}$, for stems less than 25 (i.e. $i\leq 25$) and for weights between -16 and 16 (i.e. $-16\leq j\leq 16$). In particular, for $j=2k$, this…
