In Remarks on Galois Cohomology and Definability [2], Pillay introduced definable Galois cohomology, a model-theoretic generalization of Galois cohomology. Let $M$ be an atomic and strongly $\omega$-homogeneous structure over a set of…

The holomorph of a discrete group $G$ is the universal semi-direct product of $G$. In chapter 1 we describe why it is an interesting object and state main results. In chapter 2 we recall the classical definition of the holomorph as well as…

We describe new combinatorial methods for constructing an explicit free resolution of Z by ZG-modules when G is a group of fractions of a monoid where enough least common multiples exist (``locally Gaussian monoid''), and, therefore, for…

For each connected complex reductive group G, we find a family of new examples of complex quasi-Hamiltonian G-spaces with G-valued moment maps. These spaces arise naturally as moduli spaces of (suitably framed) meromorphic connections on…

We generalize and strengthen the theorem of Gromov that every compact Riemannian manifold of diameter at most D has a set of generators g_1,...,g_k of length at most 2D and relators of the form g_ig_m = g_j . In particular, we obtain an…

Let F be a finitely generated discrete group. Given a covering map H to G of Lie groups with G either compact or complex reductive, there is an induced covering map Hom(F, H) to Hom(F, G). We show that when the fundamental group of G is…

We show that \'etale correspondences between ample groupoids induce homomorphisms of homology groups. To complement this we explore the module categories of ample groupoids. We construct an induction-restriction adjunction for subgroupoids,…

The main purpose of this work is the study of the homotopy theory of dg-categories up to quasi-equivalences. Our main result provides a natural description of the mapping spaces between two dg-categories $C$ and $D$ in terms of the nerve of…

In this paper, we use homotopical algebra (or abstract homotopical methods) to study smooth homotopical problems of infinite-dimensional $C^\infty$-manifolds in convenient calculus. More precisely, we discuss the smoothing of maps,…

We introduce a graded homology theory for graded \'etale groupoids. For $\mathbb Z$-graded groupoids, we establish an exact sequence relating the graded zeroth-homology to non-graded one. Specialising to the arbitrary graph groupoids, we…

Let G be a group of automorphisms of a compact K\"ahler manifold X of dimension n and N(G) the subset of null-entropy elements. Suppose G admits no non-abelian free subgroup. Improving the known Tits alternative, we obtain that, up to…

The goal of this paper is to first define a Hodge theoretic fundamental group for smooth connected complex algebraic varieties and then prove and study a right exact sequence of Hodge theoretic fundamental groups associated to a smooth…

Let $X$ be a compact smooth manifold, possibly with boundary. Denote by $X_1,\dots,X_r$ the connected components of $X$. Assume that the integral cohomology of $X$ is torsion free and supported in even degrees. We prove that there exists a…

The purpose of this paper is to generalise Sullivan's rational homotopy theory to non-nilpotent spaces, providing an alternative approach to defining Toen's schematic homotopy types over any field k of characteristic zero. New features…

I explicitly compute the Eilenberg-Mac Lane homology of a completely simple semigroup using topological means. I also complete Gray and Pride's investigation into the homological finiteness properties of completely simple semigroups, as…

Let G be a (not necessarily Hausdorff) locally compact groupoid. We introduce a notion of properness for G, which is invariant under Morita-equivalence. We show that any generalized morphism between two locally compact groupoids which…

We show that if $\kappa \leq \omega$ and there exists a group topology without non-trivial convergent sequences on an Abelian group $H$ such that $H^n$ is countably compact for each $n<\kappa$ then there exists a topological group $G$ such…

Let G be a locally compact group, let X be a universal proper G-space, and let Z be a G-equivariant compactification of X that is H-equivariantly contractible for each compact subgroup H of G. Let W be the resulting boundary. Assuming the…

Let $M=G/H$ be a compact connected isotropy irreducible Riemannian homogeneous manifold, where $G$ is a compact Lie group (may be, disconnected) acting on $M$ by isometries. This class includes all compact irreducible Riemannian symmetric…

Around twenty years ago Ghys conjectured that finite subgroups of the diffeomorphism group of a compact smooth manifold M have an abelian normal subgroup of index at most a(M), where a(M) depends only on M. First we construct a family of…
