Let $\bold G$ be a reductive algebraic group defined over $\Q$, and let $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $\bold G(\Q)$. Let $X$ be the symmetric space for $\bold G(\R)$, and assume $X$ is contractible. Then the cohomology (mod torsion)…

We apply the Atiyah-Singer index theorem and tensor products of elliptic complexes to the cohomology of transitive Lie algebroids. We prove that the Euler characteristic of a representation of a transitive Lie algebroid $A$ over a compact…

Let $X\to S$ be a smooth projective morphism. Katz proved the Grothendieck-Katz $p$-curvature conjecture for the Gauss-Manin connection on the $i$-th cohomology of $X/S$: if its $p$-curvature vanishes mod $p$ for infinitely many $p$, then…

We show that compact K\"ahler manifolds have the rational cohomology ring of complex projective space provided a weighted sum of the lowest three eigenvalues of the K\"ahler curvature operator is positive. This follows from a more general…

Let $-\im\Lie_\T$ (essentially Lie derivative with respect to $\T$, a smooth nowhere zero real vector field) and $P$ be commuting differential operators, respectively of orders 1 and $m\geq 1$, the latter formally normal, both acting on…

In this paper, we establish a logarithmic vanishing theorem on weakly pseudoconvex K\"ahler manifolds, where the divisor may have infinitely many irreducible components. This result serves as a generalization of Norimatsu's findings on…

If $X$ is a closed $2n$-dimensional aspherical manifold, i.e., the universal cover of $X$ is contractible, then the Chern-Hopf-Thurston conjecture predicts that $(-1)^n\chi(X)\geq 0$. We prove this conjecture when $X$ is a complex…

Let $G$ and $\tilde G$ be reductive groups over a local field $F$. Let $\eta : \tilde G \to G$ be a $F$-homomorphism with commutative kernel and commutative cokernel. We investigate the pullbacks of irreducible admissible…

This note is a follow-up to our previous work arXiv:2505.14496. For any (4n+2)-dimensional closed symplectic manifold, we find that the dimension of the even-degree part of its 1-filtered cohomology is even, similar to the vanishing…

A vanishing theorem for uniformly RC $k$-positive Hermitian holomorphic vector bundles is established. It turns out that the holomorphic tangent bundle of a compact complex manifold equipped with a positive $k$-Ricci curvature K\"{a}hler…

Using an intuition from metric geometry, we prove that any flag and normal simplicial complex satisfies the non-revisiting path conjecture. As a consequence, the diameter of its facet-ridge graph is smaller than the number of vertices minus…

To a graph, Hausel and Proudfoot associate two complex manifolds, B and D, which behave, respectively like moduli of local systems on a Riemann surface, and moduli of Higgs bundles. For instance, B is a moduli space of microlocal sheaves,…

We prove a Banach version of Garland's method of proving vanishing of cohomology for groups acting on simplicial complexes. The novelty of this new version is that our new condition applies to every reflexive Banach space. This new version…

Let $R_s M$ denote the Singer construction on an unstable module $M$ over the Steenrod algebra $A$ at the prime two; $R_s M$ is canonically a subobject of $P_s\otimes M$, where $P_s$ is the polynomial algebra on s generators of degree one.…

A conjecture due to Y. Han asks whether that Hochschild homology groups of a finite dimensional algebra vanish for sufficiently large degrees would imply that the algebra is of finite global dimension. We investigate this conjecture from…

Aimed at geometric applications, we prove the homology cobordism invariance of the $L^2$-betti numbers and $L^2$-signature defects associated to the class of amenable groups lying in Strebel's class $D(R)$, which includes some interesting…

In this note we show that the members of a certain class of local similarity groups are l2-invisible, i.e. the non-reduced group homology of the regular unitary representation vanishes in all degrees. This class contains for example…

We consider $k$-dimensional random simplicial complexes that are generated from the binomial random $(k+1)$-uniform hypergraph by taking the downward-closure, where $k\geq 2$. For each $1\leq j \leq k-1$, we determine when all cohomology…

Numerous structural findings of homology manifolds have been derived in various ways in relation to $g_2$-values. The homology $4$-manifolds with $g_2\leq 5$ are characterized combinatorially in this article. It is well-known that all…

We prove a Lichnerowicz type vanishing theorem for non-compact spin manifolds admiting proper cocompact actions. This extends a previous result of Ziran Liu who proves it for the case where the acting group is unimodular.
