For an arrangement with complement X and fundamental group G, we relate the truncated cohomology ring, H^{<=2}(X), to the second nilpotent quotient, G/G_3. We define invariants of G/G_3 by counting normal subgroups of a fixed prime index p,…

In this paper, we study pointed rank one Hopf algebras and Hopf-Ore extensions of group algebras, over an arbitrary field $k$. It is proved that the rank of a Hopf-Ore extension of a group algebra is one or two or infinite. It is also shown…

The Menichetti-Kaplansky theorem states that a finite semifield that is three-dimensional over its center is either a field or a twisted field of Albert. This implies that a quadratic homogeneous bijection of $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{F}_q)$ is…

In this paper we first show that many braid groups of low genus surfaces have their centers as direct factors. We then give a description of centralizers and normalizers of prime order elements in pure mapping class groups of surfaces with…

Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected simple complex algebraic group and let $\epsilon$ be a primitive $\ell$th root of unity with $\ell$ odd and coprime with $3$ if $G$ is of type $G_{2}$. We determine all Hopf algebra quotients of the…

We study the capitulation of $2$-ideal classes of an infinite family of imaginary biquadratic number fields consisting of fields $k =Q(\sqrt{pq_1q_2}, i)$, where $i=\sqrt{-1}$ and $q_1\equiv q_2\equiv-p\equiv-1 \pmod 4$ are different…

In this paper we continue to investigate a certain class of Hankel-like positive definite kernels using their associated orthogonal polynomials. The main result of this paper is about the structure of this kind of kernels.

We give a formula for the essential dimension of a cohomology class $\alpha$ in $H^d(K, \mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p (d))$ when $K$ is a strictly Henselian field. This formula is particularly explicit in the case, where $\alpha$ is a Brauer…

For an odd prime p and a number field F containing a primitive p-th root of unity, we describe the Kummer radical A_F of the first layers of all the Z_p-extensions of F in terms of universal norms of p-units along the cyclotomic tower of F…

Let $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{Z})$ for all prime $p$. Borel--Serre demonstrated that the cohomology of $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ vanishes above degree $n^2$. We prove…

In this paper, I show that if $p$ is an odd prime, and if $P$ is a finite $p$-group, then there exists an exact sequence of abelian groups $$0\to T(P)\to D(P)\to\lproj{P}\to H^1\big(\apdeux(P),\Z\big)^{(P)},$$ where $D(P)$ is the Dade group…

In this paper we study the low dimensional cohomology groups of Hom-Lie algebras and their relation with derivations, abelian extensions and crossed modules. On one hand, we introduce the notion of $\alpha$-abelian extensions and we obtain…

Restricted Heisenberg Lie superalgebras are studied over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p > 2. We use the ordinary 1- and 2-cohomology spaces with trivial coefficients to compute the restricted 2-cohomology spaces. As an…

Let $F$ be a local field over $\mathbf{Q}_p$ or $\mathbf{F}_p((t))$, and let $D$ be a central simple division algebra over $F$ of degree $d$. In the $p$-adic case, we assume $p>de+1$ where $e$ is the ramification degree over $\mathbf{Q}_p$;…

In this paper we compute extension groups in the category of strict polynomial superfunctors and thereby exhibit certain "universal extension classes" for the general linear supergroup. Some of these classes restrict to the universal…

We study Ruan's "cohomological crepant resolution conjecture" (see math.AG/0108195) for orbifolds with transversal ADE singularities. Let [Y] be such an orbifold, Y its coarse moduli space and Z the crepant resolution of Y. Following Ruan…

The Andr\'e-Quillen cohomology of an algebra with coefficients in a module is defined by deriving a functor based on K\"ahler differential forms. It can be computed using a cofibrant resolution of the algebra in a model category structure…

We define left and right kernels of representations of Hopf algebras. In the case of group algebras, left and right kernels coincide and they are the usual kernels of modules. In the general case we show that these kernels coincide with the…

We construct a covariant functor from a category of Abelian principal bundles over globally hyperbolic spacetimes to a category of *-algebras that describes quantized principal connections. We work within an appropriate differential…

For an arbitrary ring $A$, we study the abelianization of the elementary group $\textrm{E}_2(A)$. In particular, we show that for a commutative ring $A$ there exists an exact sequence \[ K_2(2,A)/C(2,A) \to A/M \to…
