Let A a k-algebra, H a Hopf algebra, E = A#H a general crossed product and M an E-bimodule. We obtain a complex simpler than the canonical one, giving the Hochschild homology of E with coefficients in M. This complex is eqquiped with a…

Let $G$ be a connected and non-necessarily compact Lie group acting on a connected manifold $M$. In this short note we announce the following result: for a $G$-invariant closed differential form on $M$, the existence of a closed equivariant…

The main result of this paper is non-vanishing of the image of the index map from the $G$-equivariant $K$-homology of a proper $G$-compact $G$-manifold $X$ to the $K$-theory of the $C^{*}$-algebra of the group $G$. Under the assumption that…

If $G$ is a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center and $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of G, then the Lie algebra of $G$ admits a Cartan decomposition $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{k}\oplus\mathfrak{p}$. This allows us to define the…

This is the third of a series of papers on a new equivariant cohomology that takes values in a vertex algebra, and contains and generalizes the classical equivariant cohomology of a manifold with a Lie group action a la H. Cartan. In this…

Let $(\pi, \mathcal H)$ be a continuous unitary representation of the (infinite dimensional) Lie group $G$ and $\gamma \: \mathbb R \to \mathrm{Aut}(G)$ define a continuous action of $\mathbb R$ on $G$. Suppose that $\pi^\#(g,t) = \pi(g)…

We study the core of a proper action by a Lie group $G$ on a smooth manifold $M$, extending the construction for $G$ compact by Skjelbred and Straume. Moreover, we show that many properties of a proper $G$-action on $M$ are determined by…

Given a smooth free action of a compact connected Lie group $G$ on a smooth compact manifold $M$, we show that the space of $G$-invariant Riemannian metrics on $M$ whose automorphism group is precisely $G$ is open dense in the space of all…

A foliation F on a Riemannian manifold M is homogeneous if its leaves coincide with the orbits of an isometric action on M. A foliation F is polar if it admits a section, that is, a connected closed totally geodesic submanifold of M which…

If $R$ is a commutative ring, $M$ a compact $R$-oriented manifold and $G$ a finite graph without loops or multiple edges, we consider the graph configuration space $M^G$ and a Bendersky-Gitler type spectral sequence converging to the…

By the work of Li, a compact co-K\"ahler manifold $M$ is a mapping torus $K_\varphi$, where $K$ is a K\"ahler manifold and $\varphi$ is a Hermitian isometry. We show here that there is always a finite cyclic cover $\bar M$ of the form $\bar…

In this note we show that the second homotopy group of $B(2,G)$, the classifying space for commutativity for a compact Lie group $G$, contains a direct summand isomorphic to $\pi_1(G)\oplus\pi_1([G,G])$, where $[G,G]$ is the commutator…

Let the circle act holomorphically on a compact K\"ahler manifold $M$ of complex dimension $n$ with moment map $\phi\colon M\to\R$. Assume the critical set of $\phi$ consists of 3 connected components, the extrema being isolated points. We…

A singular Riemannian foliation $F$ on a complete Riemannian manifold $M$ is called a polar foliation if, for each regular point $p$, there is an immersed submanifold $\Sigma$, called section, that passes through $p$ and that meets all the…
