For finite dimensional free $C_p$-spaces, the calculation of the Bredon cohomology ring as an algebra over the cohomology of $S^0$ is used to prove the non-existence of certain $C_p$-maps. These are related to Borsuk-Ulam type theorems, and…

We study the question when a manifold that fibers over a sphere can be rationally essential, or even have positive simplicial volume. More concretely, we show that mapping tori of manifolds (whose fundamental groups can be quite arbitrary)…

We generalize and complete some of Maxim's recent results on Alexander invariants of a polynomial transversal to the hyperplane at infinity. Roughly speaking, and surprisingly, such a polynomial behaves both topologically and algebraically…

We consider a class of extensions of associative algebras, which we refer to as ``strongly proj-bounded extensions''. We prove that the finiteness of the left global dimension and the support of the Hochschild homology is preserved by…

We prove a new Morse-Sard type theorem for the asymptotic critical values of semi-algebraic mappings and a new fibration theorem at infinity for $C^2$ mappings. We show the equivalence of three different types of regularity conditions which…

Let X be a normal affine T-variety, where T stands for the algebraic torus. We classify Ga-actions on X arising from homogeneous locally nilpotent derivations of fiber type. We deduce that any variety with trivial Makar-Limanov (ML)…

We prove that a sum of free non-covariant duality-symmetric actions does not allow consistent, continuous and local self-interactions that deform the gauge transformations. For instance, non-Abelian deformations are not allowed, even in 4…

We construct a new class of two-dimensional field theories with target spaces that are finite multiparameter deformations of the usual coset G/H-spaces. They arise naturally, when certain models, related by Poisson-Lie T-duality, develop a…

The concept of covariant coordinates on noncommutative spaces leads directly to gauge theories with generalized noncommutative gauge fields of the type that arises in string theory with background B-fields. The theory is naturally expressed…

We examine the problem of the linearity of an algebraic torus action in the associative setting. We prove the free algebra analog of a classical theorem of BialynickiBirula, which establishes linearity of maximal torus action. Additionally,…

We prove an implicit function theorem for functions on infinite-dimensional Banach manifolds, invariant under the (local) action of a finite dimensional Lie group. Motivated by some geometric variational problems, we consider group actions…

We describe free differential algebras for non-abelian one and two form gauge potentials in four dimensions deriving the integrability conditions for the corresponding curvatures. We show that a realization of these algebras occurs in…

We consider smooth actions of lattices in higher-rank semisimple Lie groups on manifolds. We define two numbers $r(G)$ and $m(G)$ associated with the roots system of the Lie algebra of a Lie group $G$. If the dimension of the manifold is…

In this paper we are concerned with certain invariants of modules, called reducing invariants, which have been recently introduced and studied by Araya-Celikbas and Araya-Takahashi. We raise the question whether the residue field of each…

The aim of this paper is to study the triviality of $\lambda\phi^{4}$ theory in a classical gravitational model. Starting from a conformal invariant scalar tensor theory with a self-interaction term $\lambda\phi^{4}$, we investigate the…

In this paper we study the regularity of the local minima of integral functionals: in particular, not convexity (quasi-convexity, policonvexity or rank one convexity) hypothesis will be made on the density, neither structure hypothesis nor…

The question of building a local diff-invariant effective gravitational action for the trace anomaly is reconsidered. General Relativity (GR) combined with the existing action for the trace anomaly is an inconsistent low energy effective…

We prove that the number of parameters defining a complex of projective modules over a finite dimensional algebra is upper semi-continuous in families of algebras. Supposing that every algebra is either derived tame or derived wild, we get…

We develop a theory of measures, differential forms and Fourier tramsforms on some infinite-dimensional real vector spaces by generalizing the following two constructions: (a) The construction of the semiinfinite wedge power of a Tate…

Following the approach of Budzy\'nski and Kondracki, we define covariant differential algebras and connections on locally trivial quantum principal fibre bundles. We also consider covariant derivatives, connection forms and curvatures and…
