This paper consists of two related parts. In the first part we give a self-contained proof of homological stability for the spaces C_n(M;X) of configurations of n unordered points in a connected open manifold M with labels in a…

We give new classes of examples of orbits of the diagonal group in the space of unit volume lattices in R^d for d > 2 with nice (homogeneous) orbit closures, as well as examples of orbits with explicitly computable but irregular orbit…

It is proved that localizations of injective $R$-modules of finite Goldie dimension are injective if $R$ is an arithmetical ring satisfying the following condition: for every maximal ideal $P$, $R_P$ is either coherent or not semicoherent.…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated graded module over a Noetherian homogeneous ring $R = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{N}_0}R_n$. For each $i \in \mathbb{N}_0$ let $H^i_{R_{+}}(M)$ denote the $i$-th local cohomology module of $M$ with respect to…

Matrices over a finite field having fixed rank and restricted support are a natural $q$-analogue of rook placements on a board. We develop this $q$-rook theory by defining a corresponding analogue of the hit numbers. Using tools from coding…

Hyperplanes of the form x_j = x_i + c are called affinographic. For an affinographic hyperplane arrangement in R^n, such as the Shi arrangement, we study the function f(M) that counts integral points in [1,M]^n that do not lie in any…

We describe a family of hyperplane arrangements depending on a positive integer parameter $r$, which we refer to as the $r$-braid arrangements, and which can be viewed as a generalization of the classical braid arrangement. The wonderful…

We consider matrices with entries in a local ring, Mat(m,n,R). Fix a group action, G on Mat(m,n,R), and a subset of allowed deformations, \Sigma\subseteq Mat(m,n,R). The standard question of Singularity Theory is the…

We study representations of lattices of PU(m,1) into PU(n,1). We show that if a representation is reductive and if m is at least 2, then there exists a finite energy harmonic equivariant map from complex hyperbolic m-space to complex…

For $n\ge5$, it is well known that the moduli space $\mathfrak{M_{0,\:n}}$ of unordered $n$ points on the Riemann sphere is a quotient space of the Zariski open set $K_n$ of $\mathbb C^{n-3}$ by an $S_n$ action. The stabilizers of this…

We prove tight probabilistic bounds for the shortest vectors in module lattices over number fields using the results of arXiv:2308.15275. Moreover, establishing asymptotic formulae for counts of fixed rank matrices with algebraic integer…

We investigate integral forms of simple modules of symmetric groups over fields of characteristic $0$ labelled by hook partitions. Building on work of Plesken and Craig, for every odd prime $p$, we give a set of representatives of the…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring and $M,N$ be finitely generated $R$-modules. We prove a number of results of the form: if $\mbox{Hom}_R(M,N)$ has some nice properties and $\mbox{Ext}^{1 \leq i \leq n}_R(M,N)=0$ for some $n$,…

Let $\bbK=\mathbb R, \mathbb C, \mathbb H$ be the field of real, complex or quaternionic numbers and $M_{p, q}(\bbK)$ the vector space of all $p\times q$-matrices. Let $X$ be the matrix unit ball in $M_{n-r, r}(\bbK)$ consisting of…

In this article we give a survey of homology computations for moduli spaces $\mathfrak{M}_{g,1}^m$ of Riemann surfaces with genus $g\geqslant 0$, one boundary curve, and $m\geqslant 0$ punctures. While rationally and stably this question…

We develop the affine sieve in the context of orbits of congruence subgroups of semi-simple groups acting linearly on affine space. In particular we give effective bounds for the saturation numbers for points on such orbits at which the…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of $R$. Suppose $M$ is a finitely generated $R$-module and $N$ is an Artinian $R$-module. We define the concept of filter coregular sequence to determine the infimum of…

Let $G$ be a real reductive algebraic group with maximal compact subgroup $K$, and let $F_r$ be a rank $r$ free group. We show that the space of closed orbits in $\mathrm{Hom}(F_r,G)/G$ admits a strong deformation retraction to the orbit…

We derive a fixed-point formula for integrals on moduli spaces of stable maps to projective spaces of even dimension. This gives a formula for the equivariant open Gromov-Witten invariants of (RP^{2m},CP^{2m}) and the structure constants of…
