In this paper we prove that the quotient of any real or complex moment-angle complex by any closed subgroup in the naturally acting compact torus on it is equivariantly homotopy equivalent to the homotopy colimit of a certain toric diagram.…
Suppose $G$ is a finite group and $A\subseteq G$ is such that $\{gA:g\in G\}$ has VC-dimension strictly less than $k$. We find algebraically well-structured sets in $G$ which, up to a chosen $\epsilon>0$, describe the structure of $A$ and…
We discuss connections of toroidal compactifications and Borel--Serre compactifications in view of the fundamental diagram of extended period domains. We give a complement to a work of Goresky--Tai.
The paper is devoted to the study of topologies on the group Aut(X,B) of all Borel automorphisms of a standard Borel space $(X, B)$. Several topologies are introduced and all possible relations between them are found. One of these…
The group of homeomorphisms of the closed interval that are absolutely continuous and have an absolutely continuous inverse was shown by Solecki to admit a natural Polish group topology $\tau_{ac}$. We show that, under mild conditions on a…
A garland based on a manifold $P$ is a finite set of manifolds homeomorphic to $P$ with some of them glued together at marked points. Fix a manifold $M$ and consider a space $\NN$ of all smooth mappings of garlands based on $P$ into $M$. We…
We introduce nonassociative geometric objects generalising naturally Lie groupoids and called (smooth) quasiloopoids and loopoids. We prove that the tangent bundles of smooth loopoids are canonically smooth loopoids again (it is nontrivial…
We prove new vanishing results on the growth of higher torsion homologies for suitable arithmetic lattices, Artin groups and mapping class groups. The growth is understood along Farber sequences, in particular, along residual chains. For…
The smooth rational homology cobordism group of rational homology three spheres, T, contains subgroups T_p generated by 3-manifolds with first homology p-torsion, where p is a prime. Rochlin's theorem and gauge theoretic methods show that…
This work forms a foundational study of factorization homology, or topological chiral homology, at the generality of stratified spaces with tangential structures. Examples of such factorization homology theories include intersection…
This paper considers the links between the geometry of the various flag manifolds of loop groups and bundles over families of rational curves. Aa an application, a stability result for the moduli on a rational ruled surface of G-bundles…
We study geodesically complete and locally compact Hadamard spaces X whose Tits boundary is a connected irreducible spherical building. We show that X is symmetric iff complete geodesics in X do not branch and a Euclidean building…
We introduce and study a notion of analytic loop group with a Riemann-Hilbert factorization relevant for the representation theory of quantum affine algebras at roots of unity with non trivial central charge. We introduce a Poisson…
We will prove that, for any abelian group $G$, the canonical (surjective and continuous) mapping $\boldsymbol{\beta}G \to {\frak b}G$ from the Stone-\v{C}ech compactification $\boldsymbol{\beta}G$ of $G$ to its Bohr compactfication ${\frak…
We study the homology groups of the complement of a complexified real line arrangement with coefficients in complex rank-one local systems. Using Borel--Moore homology, we establish an algorithm computing their dimensions via the real…
Garoufalidis and Levine introduced the homology cobordism group of homology cylinders over a surface. This group can be regarded as a generalization of the mapping class group. Using torsion invariants, we show that the abelianization of…
We introduce the group-compact coarse structure on a Hausdorff topological group in the context of coarse structures on an abstract group which are compatible with the group operations. We develop asymptotic dimension theory for the…
We show for very general classes of measures on locally compact second countable groups that every Borel measurable quasimorphism is at bounded distance from a quasi-biharmonic one. This allows us to deduce non-degenerate central limit…
We investigate stability properties of the reductive Borel-Serre categories; these were introduced as a model for unstable algebraic K-theory in previous work. We see that they exhibit better homological stability properties than the…
In this paper, we construct good toroidal and minimal compactifications in the sense of Lan-Stroh for integral models of abelian-type Shimura varieties. We start with finding suitable types of cusp labels and cone decompositions which are…
