We develop the geometric theory of equivariant quasisymmetry via a new ``quasisymmetric flag variety''. This is a toric complex in the flag variety whose fixed point set is the set of noncrossing partitions, and whose cohomology ring is the…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group that acts on a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and let $E$ be a $G$-equivariant algebraic vector bundle over $X$. A section of $E$ is regular if it is transversal to the zero…

Suppose that $n\neq p^k$ and $n\neq 2p^k$ for all $k$ and all primes $p$. We prove that for any Hausdorff compactum $X$ with a free action of the symmetric group $\mathfrak S_n$ there exists an $\mathfrak S_n$-equivariant map $X \to…

Let G be an absolutely almost simple algebraic group defined over a non-archimedean local field K. Let X be a projective homogeneous variety for G and let L be an ample line bundle on X. Then there exists a unique G-linearisation of L. We…

Since the sixties it is well known that there are no non-trivial closed holomorphic $1$-forms on the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_g$ of smooth projective curves of genus $g>2$. In this paper, we strengthen such result proving that for $g\geq…

Given a finite group $G$ with a normal subgroup $N$, the simple graph $\Gamma_\textit{G}( \textit{N} )$ is a graph whose vertices are of the form $|x^G|$, where $x\in{N\setminus{Z(G)}}$, and $x^G$ is the $G$-conjugacy class of $N$…

We give a simple counterexample to the plausible conjecture that Adams-type maps of ring spectra are stable under composition. We then show that over a field, this failure is quite extreme, as any map of $\mathbb{E}_{\infty}$-algebras is a…

An action of a complex reductive group $\mathrm G$ on a smooth projective variety $X$ is regular when all regular unipotent elements in $\mathrm G$ act with finitely many fixed points. Then the complex $\mathrm G$-equivariant cohomology…

We determine that there is no partial geometry ${\cal G}$ with parameters $(s,t,\alpha)=(4,27,2)$. The existence of such a geometry has been a challenging open problem of interest to researchers for almost 40 years. The particular interest…

We construct a new family of distance-biregular graphs related to hyperovals and a new sporadic example of a distance-biregular graph related to Mathon's perp system. The infinite family can be explained using 2-$\bipartB$-homogeneity,…

A graph H is called common if the total number of copies of H in every graph and its complement asymptotically minimizes for random graphs. A former conjecture of Burr and Rosta, extending a conjecture of Erdos asserted that every graph is…

A graph homomorphism between two graphs is a map from the vertex set of one graph to the vertex set of the other graph, that maps edges to edges. In this note we study the range of a uniformly chosen homomorphism from a graph G to the…

It was recently determined exactly through how many general points a nondegenerate curve with nonspecial hyperplane section can pass. This gives rise to a method of constructing reducible curves $C_1 \cup_\Gamma C_2 \to \mathbb{P}^r$ with…

Let $G$ be a (finite or infinite) group such that $G/Z(G)$ is not simple. The non-commuting, non-generating graph $\Xi(G)$ of $G$ has vertex set $G \setminus Z(G)$, with vertices $x$ and $y$ adjacent whenever $[x,y] \ne 1$ and $\langle x, y…

We classify non-linear proper Fredholm maps between Hilbert spaces, up to proper homotopy, in terms of the stable homotopy groups of spheres. We show that there is a surjective map from the stable homotopy groups of spheres to the set of…

We show that the existence of a universal structure implies the existence of a generic structure for any approximable class $\mathcal{C}$ of countable structures. We also show that the converse is not true. As a consequence, we provide…

Let G be a connected complex semi-simple group, B a Borel subgroup of G, and T a maximal torus in B. We construct a class of smooth T-stable subvarieties inside the flag variety G/B, each of which is an embedding of a product of projective…

We associate to every divisorial (e.g. smooth) variety $X$ with only constant invertible global functions and finitely generated Picard group a $Pic(X)$-graded homogeneous coordinate ring. This generalizes the usual homogeneous coordinate…

Assume that R is a local regular ring containing an infinite perfect field, or that R is the local ring of a point on a smooth scheme over an infinite field. Let K be the field of fractions of R and the characteristic of K is not 2. Let X…

We develop a general theory for irreducible homogeneous spaces $M= G/H$, in relation to the nullity $\nu$ of their curvature tensor. We construct natural invariant (different and increasing) distributions associated with the nullity, that…
