A Riemann-Cartan manifold is a Riemannian manifold endowed with an affine connection which is compatible with the metric tensor. This affine connection is not necessarily torsion free. Under the assumption that the manifold is a homogeneous…

We present a short proof of Reisner's Theorem, characterizing which simplicial complexes have a Cohen-Macaulay face ring. In some cases, we can also express some homological invariants of the face ring in terms of the reduced homology of…

For a field of characteristic $\ne 2$ we study vector spaces that are graded by the weight lattice of a root system, and are endowed with linear operators in each simple root direction. We show that these data extend to a graded semisimple…

We establish homological stability for automorphisms of symmetric bilinear forms over a class of principal ideal domains that includes all fields, the integers, the Gaussian integers, and the Eisenstein integers. In conjunction with…

We extend the notion of face rings of simplicial complexes and simplicial posets to the case of finite-length (possibly infinite) simplicial posets with a group action. The action on the complex induces an action on the face ring, and we…

We study the Lyapunov spectrum of the Kontsevich--Zorich cocycle on $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$-invariant subbundles of the Hodge bundle over the support of a $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$-invariant probability measure on the moduli space of Abelian…

The main invariant to study the combinatorics of a simplicial complex $K$ is the associated face ring or Stanley-Reisner algebra. Reisner respectively Stanley explained in which sense Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein properties of the face…

We prove that the Seiberg-Witten invariants of a rational homology sphere are determined in a very explicit fashion by the Casson-Walker invariant and the Reidemeister torsion

We extend several $g$-type theorems for connected, orientable homology manifolds without boundary to manifolds with boundary. As applications of these results we obtain K\"uhnel-type bounds on the Betti numbers as well as on certain…

We study the regularized determinants ${\rm det}\, \Delta$ of various self-adjoint extensions of symmetric Laplacians acting in spinor bundles over compact Riemann surfaces with flat singular metrics $|\omega|^2$, where $\omega$ is a…

We prove the Hodge-Riemann bilinear relations, the hard Lefschetz theorem and the Lefschetz decomposition for compact Kahler manifolds in the mixed situation.

Assume that the link of a complex normal surface singularity is a rational homology sphere. Then its Seiberg-Witten invariant can be computed as the `periodic constant' of the topological multivariable Poincar\'e series (zeta function).…

We formulate a very general conjecture relating the analytical invariants of a normal surface singularity to the Seiberg-Witten invariants of its link provided that the link is a rational homology sphere. As supporting evidence, we…

We give a lower bound for the bottom of the $L^2$ differential form spectrum on hyperbolic manifolds, generalizing thus a well-known result due to Sullivan and Corlette in the function case. Our method is based on the study of the resolvent…

It is shown that for any piecewise-linear closed orientable manifold of odd dimension there exists an invariantly defined metric on the determinant line of cohomology with coefficients in an arbitrary flat bundle E over the manifold (E is…

The Hard Lefschetz theorem for intersection cohomology of nonrational polytopes was recently proved by K. Karu [Ka]. This theorem implies the conjecture of R. Stanley on the unimodularity of the generalized $h$-vector. In this paper we…

We prove non-trivial bounds for general bilinear forms in hyper-Kloosterman sums when the sizes of both variables may be below the P\'olya-Vinogradov range. We then derive applications to the second moment of holomorphic cusp forms twisted…

In this paper, we prove that the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch formula in Deligne cohomology computing the determinant of the cohomology of a holomorphic vector bundle on the fibers of a proper submersion between abstract complex manifolds is…

Let $\Delta$ be a triangulated homology ball whose boundary complex is $\partial\Delta$. A result of Hochster asserts that the canonical module of the Stanley--Reisner ring of $\Delta$, $\mathbb F[\Delta]$, is isomorphic to the…

This paper has two related parts. The first generalizes Hochster's formula on resolutions of Stanley-Reisner rings to a colorful version, applicable to any proper vertex-coloring of a simplicial complex. The second part examines a universal…
