Twisted Wirtinger presentations are generalizations of the classical Wirtinger presentations of knot and link groups. In this paper, we prove that if a finitely generated group admitting a twisted Wirtinger presentation is Gromov…
We classify a class of complex representations of an arbitrary Coxeter group via characters of the integral homology of certain graphs. Such representations can be viewed as a generalization of the geometric representation and correspond to…
We give a new technique for constructing presentations by generators and relations for representations of groups like $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$ and $Sp_{2g}(\mathbb{Z})$. Our results play an important role in recent work of the authors calculating…
We develop a theory of equivariant group presentations and relate them to the second homology group of a group. Our main application says that the second homology group of the Torelli subgroup of the mapping class group is finitely…
We determine the second homology group of the homological Goldman Lie algebra for an oriented surface.
Structures of commuting semigroups of isometries under certain additional assumptions like double commutativity or dual double commutativity are found.
Computations in the cohomology of finite groups.
We give formulas for the second and third integral homology of an arbitrary finitely generated Coxeter group, solely in terms of the corresponding Coxeter diagram. The first of these calculations refines a theorem of Howlett, while the…
Geometry of buildings is used to prove some homological properties of the category of smooth representations of a reductive p-adic group (Kazhdan's "pairing conjecture", Bernstein's description of homological duality in terms of…
An axiomatic approach to the representation theory of Coxeter groups and their Hecke algebras was presented in [1]. Combinatorial aspects of this construction are studied in this paper. In particular, the symmetric group case is…
We initiate (co)homology theory for quasigroups of Bol-Moufang type based on analysis of their extensions by affine quasigroups of the same type. We use these extensions to define second and third boundary operations, $\partial_2(x,y)$ and…
Finite groups with given systems of permuteral and strongly permuteral subgroups are studied. New characterizations of w-supersoluble and supersoluble groups are received.
We introduce the notion of a symmetric group parametrized by elements of a group. We show that this group is an extension of a certain subgroup of the wreath product $G \wr S_n$ by $\mathrm{H}_2(G, \mathbb{Z})$. We also discuss the…
We study second adjointness in the context of tempered admissible representations of a real reductive group. Compared to a recent result of Crisp and Higson, this generalizes from $SL_2$ to a general group, but specializes to only…
In "On the homotopy theory of arrangements," published in 1986, the authors gave a comprehensive survey of the subject. This article updates and continues the earlier article, noting some key open problems.
In this note we show that the known relation between double groupoids and matched pairs of groups may be extended, or seems to extend, to the triple case. The references give some other occurrences of double groupoids.
The paper investigates exterior and symmetric (co)homologies of groups. We introduce symmetric homology of groups and compute exterior and symmetric (co)homologies of some finite groups. We also compare the classical, exterior and symmetric…
We show that under suitable hypotheses, the second homotopy group of the coned-off space associated to a $C(9)$ cubical presentation is trivial, and use this to provide classifying spaces for proper actions for the fundamental groups of…
The article gives the second part of the treatise on Regular Algebraic $K$-theory (Sections V & VI) of the author. Regular algebraic $K$-theory for groups is a homology theory for discrete groups closely connected to (but different from)…
We develop a cohomology theory of groups based on partial actions and explore its relation with the partial Schur multiplier as well as with cohomology of inverse semigroups.
