In a previous paper, we have constructed, for an arbitrary Lie group G and any of the fields F=R or C, a good equivariant cohomology theory KF_G^*(-) on the category of proper $G$-CW-complex and have justified why it deserved the label…
We prove Eilenberg-Watts Theorem for 2-categories of the representation categories $\C\x\Mod$ of finite tensor categories $\C$. For a consequence we obtain that any autoequivalence of $\C\x\Mod$ is given by tensoring with a representative…
We investigate the complexity of deciding, given a multiplication table representing a semigroup S, a subset X of S and an element t of S, whether t can be expressed as a product of elements of X. It is well-known that this problem is…
Over the complex numbers, the complement of a collection of hyperplanes is a widely-studied object; the cohomology ring, in particular, is known to have a structure depending only on the combinatorial properties of the intersection of…
Let $X$ be a \text{\rm{2}}-connected and \text{\rm{6}}-dimensional CW-complex $X$ such that $H_{3}(X)\otimes\Z_2=0$. This paper aims to describe the group $\E(X)$ of the self-homotopy equivalences of $X$ modulo its normal subgroup…
It is well known that cohomology with compact supports is not a homotopy invariant but only a proper homotopy one. However, as the proper category lacks of general categorical properties, a Brown representability theorem type does not seem…
Globular complexes were introduced by E. Goubault and the author in arXiv:math/0107060 to model higher dimensional automata. Globular complexes are topological spaces equipped with a globular decomposition which is the directed analogue of…
Results on the finiteness of induced crossed modules are proved both algebraically and topologically. Using the Van Kampen type theorem for the fundamental crossed module, applications are given to the 2-types of mapping cones of…
Given a finite and connected two-dimensional $CW$-complex $K$ with fundamental group $\Pi$ and second integer cohomology group $H^2(K;\mathbb{Z})$ finite of odd order, we prove that: (1) for each local integer coefficient system…
We define an order relation among oriented $PD_4$-complexes. We show that with respect to this relation, two $PD_4$-complexes over the same complex are homotopy equivalent if and only if there is an isometry between the second homology…
The paper investigates two invariants for totally disconnected locally compact groups: the number of ends and the rational discrete cohomological dimension. For such a compactly generated group $G$ it is shown that its number of ends can be…
Given a finite CW complex $K$, we use a version of the Goodwillie-Weiss tower to formulate an obstruction theory for embedding $K$ into a Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$. For $2$-dimensional complexes in $\mathbb{R}^4$, a geometric analogue…
The classical Waring problem deals with expressing every natural number as a sum of g(k) kth powers. Similar problems for finite simple groups have been studied recently, and in this paper we study them for finite quasisimple groups G. We…
We construct a "diagonal" cofibrantly generated model structre on the category of simplicial objects in the category of topological categories sCat_{Top}, which is the category of diagrams [\Delta^{op}, Cat_{Top}]. Moreover, we prove that…
We construct the finite-dimensional continuous complex representations of $\mathrm{SL}_2$ over compact discrete valuation rings of even residual characteristic. We also prove that the complex group algebras of $\mathrm{SL}_2$ over finite…
The aim of this paper is to construct exact model structures from so called extendable cotorsion pairs. Given a hereditary Hovey triple $(\mathcal{C}, \mathcal{W}, \mathcal{F})$ in a weakly idempotent complete exact category with enough…
We show that if a complex has free finitely generated reduced homology groups for two consecutive dimensions and trivial homology for all other dimensions, then it must have the homotopy type of a wedge of spheres of two consecutive…
Using the geometry of the associated Calogero-Moser space, R. Rouquier and the author have attached to any finite complex reflection group $W$ several notions (Calogero-Moser left, right or two-sided cells, Calogero-Moser cellular…
We study three exceptional theta correspondences for p-adic groups, where one member of the dual pair is the exceptional group G2. We prove the Howe duality conjecture for these dual pairs and a dichotomy theorem, and determine explicitly…
This is the second installment of an exposition of an ACL2 formalization of finite group theory. The first, which was presented at the 2022 ACL2 workshop, covered groups and subgroups, cosets, normal subgroups, and quotient groups,…
