We prove a homological stability theorem for moduli spaces of simply-connected manifolds of dimension $2n > 4$, with respect to forming connected sum with $S^n \times S^n$. This is analogous to Harer's stability theorem for the homology of…
We calculate the representation-graded Bredon homology rings of all elementary abelian 2-groups with coefficients in the constant mod-2 Mackey functor. We exhibit minimal presentations for these rings as quotients of the polynomial algebra…
Asaeda, Przytycki and Sikora defined a generalization of Khovanov homology for links in $I$-bundles over compact surfaces. We prove that for a link $L\subset (-1,1)\times T^2$, the Asaeda-Przytycki-Sikora homology of $L$ has rank $2$ with…
We prove an existence theorem for gauge invariant $L^2$-normal neighborhoods of the reduction loci in the space ${\cal A}_a(E)$ of oriented connections on a fixed Hermitian 2-bundle $E$. We use this to obtain results on the topology of the…
In this paper, we deal with stable homology computations with twisted coefficients for mapping class groups of surfaces and of 3-manifolds, automorphism groups of free groups with boundaries and automorphism groups of certain right-angled…
We define a period pairing for flat, irregular singular, rank one connections, satisfying a technical condition regarding its stationary set, on complex surfaces between de Rham cohomology of the connection and a modified singular homology,…
We describe a new technique for calculating instanton effects in supersymmetric gauge theories applicable on the Higgs or Coulomb branches. In these situations the instantons are constrained and a potential is generated on the instanton…
Bredon has constructed a 2-dimensional compact cohomology manifold which is not homologically locally connected, with respect to the singular homology. In the present paper we construct infinitely many such examples (which are in addition…
We introduce a class of links strictly containing quasi-alternating links for which mod 2 reduced Khovanov homology is always thin. We compute the framed instanton homology for double branched covers of such links. Aligning certain dotted…
We compute the stable cohomology groups of the mapping class groups of compact orientable surfaces with one boundary, with twisted coefficients given by the homology of the unit tangent bundle of the surface. This stable twisted cohomology…
We compute the first, second, third, and fifth rational cohomology groups of the moduli space of stable n-pointed genus g curves, for all g and n, using (mostly) algebro-geometric techniques.
We compute: * the cohomology with group ring coefficients of Artin groups (or actually, of their associated Salvetti complexes), Bestvina-Brady groups, and graph products of groups, * the L^2-Betti numbers of Bestvina-Brady groups and of…
We explicitly compute the homology groups with coefficients in a field of characteristic zero of cocyclic subgroups or even Artin groups of FC-type. We also give some partial results in the case when the coefficients are taken in a field of…
We provide a description of the moduli space of framed autodual instanton bundles on projective space, focusing on the particular cases of symplectic and orthogonal instantons. Our description will use the generalized ADHM equations which…
The SO(3) instanton homology recently introduced by the authors associates a finite-dimensional vector space over the field of two elements to every embedded trivalent graph (or "web"). The present paper establishes a skein exact triangle…
A simplicial complement P is a sequence of subsets of [m] and the simplicial complement P corresponds to a unique simplicial complex K with vertices in [m]. In this paper, we defined the homology of a simplicial complement…
We study the $S$-arithmetic (co)homology of reductive groups over number fields with coefficients in (duals of) certain locally algebraic and locally analytic representations for finite sets of primes $S$. We use our results to construct…
Consider the ring R:=\Q[\tau,\tau^{-1}] of Laurent polynomials in the variable \tau. The Artin's Pure Braid Groups (or Generalized Pure Braid Groups) act over R, where the action of every standard generator is the multiplication by \tau. In…
We present a method for computing $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy invariants of singularity categories of rings admitting suitable gradings. Using this we describe any such invariant, e.g. homotopy K-theory, for the stable categories of…
The holonomy of an SU(2) N-instanton in the x^4-direction gives a map from R^3 into SU(2), which provides a good model of an N-Skyrmion. Combining this map with the standard Hopf map from SU(2)=S^3 to S^2 gives a configuration for a Hopf…
