The regular \Z^r-covers of a finite cell complex X are parameterized by the Grassmannian of r-planes in H^1(X,\Q). Moving about this variety, and recording when the Betti numbers b_1,..., b_i of the corresponding covers are finite carves…

In this article, we give multiple situations when having one or two geometrically distinct closed geodesics on a complete Riemannian cylinder $M\simeq S^1\times\mathbb{R}$ or a complete Riemannian plane $M\simeq\mathbb{R}^2$ leads to having…

Let $T$ be a perfect binary tree and $I$ be its edge ideal in the polynomial ring $S$. We determine the vertex cover number, independent number, and establish the recursive formula to compute the number of minimal vertex covers. As a…

We consider a class of extensions of associative algebras, which we refer to as ``strongly proj-bounded extensions''. We prove that the finiteness of the left global dimension and the support of the Hochschild homology is preserved by…

This work is motivated by the papers [EG85] and [Ngu15] in which the following two problems are solved. Let $\mathcal{O}$ is a finitely generated $\mathbb{Z}$-algebra that is an integrally closed domain of characteristic zero, consider the…

The bounded gaps property of the prime numbers, as proven by Yitang Zhang, is considered for sequences of lengths of closed geodesics, which by the theory of Selberg zeta functions are the geometric analogue of the prime numbers. It turns…

We show if $A$ is a finite CW-complex such that algebraic theories detect mapping spaces out of $A$, then $A$ has the homology type of a wedge of spheres of the same dimension. Furthermore, if $A$ is simply connected then $A$ has the…

Let $X_n(K)$ be a building of Coxeter type $X_n = A_n$ or $X_n = D_n$ defined over a given division ring $K$ (a field when $X_n = D_n$). For a non-connected set $J$ of nodes of the diagram $X_n$, let $\Gamma(K) = Gr_J(X_n(K))$ be the…

Suppose that \Delta, \Delta' are two buildings each arising from a semisimpe algebraic group over a field, a topological field in the former case, and that for both the buildings the Coxeter diagram has no isolated nodes. We give conditions…

Let $k$ be a noetherian commutative ring and let $G$ be a finite flat group scheme over $k$. Let $G$ act rationally on a finitely generated commutative $k$-algebra $A$. We show that the cohomology algebra $H^*(G,A)$ is a finitely generated…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a rank one local system with field coefficient on the complement $M(\mathcal{A})$ of an essential complex hyperplane arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ in $\mathbb{C}^\ell$. Dimca-Papadima and Randell independently showed that…

Let G be a linear algebraic group defined over a field k. We prove that, under mild assumptions on k and G, there exists a finite k-subgroup S of G such that the natural map H^1(K, S) -> H^1(K, G) is surjective for every field extension…

This paper is about geometric and topological properties of a proper CAT(0) space $X$ which is cocompact - i.e. which has a compact generating domain with respect to the full isometry group. It is shown that geodesic segments in $X$ can…

Let K be any compact set. The C^*-algebra C(K) is nuclear and any bounded homomorphism from C(K) into B(H), the algebra of all bounded operators on some Hilbert space H, is automatically completely bounded. We prove extensions of these…

We study algebraic structures of certain submonoids of the monoid of homology cylinders over a surface and the homology cobordism groups, using Reidemeister torsion with non-commutative coefficients. The submonoids consist of ones whose…

Let $A=kQ/I$ be a finite dimensional basic algebra over an algebraically closed field $k$ which is a gentle algebra with the marked ribbon surface $(\mathcal{S}_A,\mathcal{M}_A,\Gamma_A)$. It is known that $\mathcal{S}_A$ can be divided…

We give new counterexamples to a question of Karsten Grove, whether there are only finitely many rational homotopy types among simply connected manifolds satisfying the assumptions of Gromov's Betti number theorem. Our counterexamples are…

We prove that the singular cohomology with finite coefficients of a finite-dimensional Stein space $S$ is isomorphic to the \'etale cohomology of the Stein algebra $\mathcal{O}(S)$. We deduce that any class in $H^k(S,\mathbb{Z})$ comes from…

We show that for any block algebra B of a finite group over an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic the dimension of HH^n(B) is bounded by a function depending only on the nonnegative integer n and the defect of B. The proof…

Developing an algorithm for computing the Betti numbers of semi-algebraic sets with singly exponential complexity has been a holy grail in algorithmic semi-algebraic geometry and only partial results are known. In this paper we consider the…
