A notion of heaps of modules as an affine version of modules over a ring or, more generally, over a truss, is introduced and studied. Basic properties of heaps of modules are derived. Examples arising from geometry (connections, affine…

Let H be a Hopf algebra. By definition a modular crossed H-module is a vector space M on which H acts and coacts in a compatible way. To every modular crossed H-module M we associate a cyclic object Z(H,M). The cyclic homology of Z(H,M)…

Let $V$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with residue field $\mathbb{F}$. We define a cyclic homology theory for algebras over $\mathbb{F}$, by lifting them to free algebras over $V$, which we enlarge to tube algebras and complete…

In this paper, we construct a new homology theory for semi-groups satisfying the self distributivity axiom or the idempotency axiom. Next, we consider the geometric realization corresponding to the homology theory. We continue with the…

We develop the rudiments of a tropical homology theory, based on "triples" and "systems." Results include a version of Schanuel's lemma, projective dimension, the homology semi-module, and a weak Snake lemma.

The combinatorial approach to knot theory treats knots as diagrams modulo Reidemeister moves. Many constructions of knot invariants (e.g., index polynomials, quandle colorings, etc.) use elements of diagrams such as arcs and crossings by…

We prove that free pre-Lie algebras, when considered as Lie algebras, are free. Working in the category of S-modules, we define a natural filtration on the space of generators. We also relate the symmetric group action on generators with…

In this article, we give a characterisation of crossed homomorphisms on Lie superalgebras as a Maurer-Cartan element of a graded Lie algebra. Using this characterisation we study cohomology of these crossed homomorphisms. As an application…

Let R be a local ring and A a connected differential graded algebra over R which is free as a graded R-module. Using homological perturbation theory techniques, we construct a minimal free multi model for A having properties similar to that…

We give some basics about homological algebra of difference representations. We consider both the difference-discrete and the difference-rational case. We define the corresponding cohomology theories and show the existence of spectral…

Homology theories for associative algebraic structures are well established and have been studied for a long time. More recently, homology theories for self-distributive algebraic structures motivated by knot theory, such as quandles and…

This paper has partially a novel and partially a survey character. We start with a short review of rack (two term) homology of self distributive algebraic structures (shelves) and their connections to knot theory. We concentrate on a…

A differential module is a module equipped with a square-zero endomorphism. This structure underpins complexes of modules over rings, as well as differential graded modules over graded rings. We establish lower bounds on the class--a…

We address the (pointed) homotopy theory of 2-crossed modules (of groups), which are known to faithfully represent Gray 3-groupoids, with a single object, and also connected homotopy 3-types. The homotopy relation between 2-crossed module…

The collection of open sets of a topological space forms a Heyting algebra, which leads to the idea of a Heyting algebra as a generalized topological space. In fact, a sober topological space may be reconstructed from its locale of open…

We introduce tautological system defined by prehomogenous actions of reductive algebraic groups. If the complement of the open orbit is a linear free divisor satisfying a certain finiteness condition, we show that these systems underly…

For a Lie algebroid, divergences chosen in a classical way lead to a uniquely defined homology theory. They define also, in a natural way, modular classes of certain Lie algebroid morphisms. This approach, applied for the anchor map,…

Let $H$ be a crossed group-cograded Hopf quasigroup. We first introduce the notion of $p$-Yetter-Drinfeld quasimodule over $H$. If the antipode of $H$ is bijective, we show that the category $\mathscr Y\mathscr D\mathscr Q(H)$ of…

We compute the rational homology of the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}$ of objects in the derived category of certain smooth complex projective varieties $X$ including toric varieties, flag varieties, curves, surfaces, and some 3- and 4-folds.…

We define pullback and separated presentations of modules over pullback rings, and, if the ring is a pullback of epimorphisms over a semisimple ring, an algorithm reducing such a presentation of a module to an $R$-diagram. The latter is the…
