We show that any action of a finite group on a finitely presentable group arises as the action of the group of self-homotopy equivalences of a space on its fundamental group. In doing so, we prove that any finite connected (abstract)…

For a local field $F$ we consider tamely ramified principal series representations $V$ of $G={\rm GL}_{d+1}(F)$ with coefficients in a finite extension $K$ of ${\mathbb Q}_p$. Let $I_0$ be a pro-$p$-Iwahori subgroup in $G$, let ${\mathcal…

The main objective of this paper is to compute $RO(G)$-graded cohomology of $G$-orbits for the group $G=C_n$, where $n$ is a product of distinct primes. We compute these groups for the constant Mackey functor $\underline{Z}$ and for the…

We study a closed differential form on the symmetric space of positive definite matrices, which is defined using the Pfaffian and is $\mathsf{GL}_{2n}(\mathbb{Z})$ invariant up to a sign. It gives rise to an infinite family of unstable…

We continue the analysis of definably compact groups definable in a real closed field $\mathcal{R}$. In [3], we proved that for every definably compact definably connected semialgebraic group $G$ over $\mathcal{R}$ there are a connected…

We construct some inverse-closed algebras of bounded integral operators with operator-valued kernels, acting in spaces of vector-valued functions on locally compact groups. To this end we make systematic use of covariance algebras…

We construct some new cohomology theories for topological groups and Lie groups and study some of its basic properties. For example, we introduce a cohomology theory based on measurable cochains which are continuous in a neighbourhood of…

We show how the classical notions of cohomology with local coefficients, CW-complex, covering space, homeomorphism equivalence, simple homotopy equivalence, tubular neighbourhood, and spinning can be encoded on a computer and used to…

We show that if a finite dimensional Hopf algebra over ${\bf C}$ has a basis such that all the structure constants are non-negative, then the Hopf algebra must be given by a finite group $G$ and a factorization $G=G_+G_-$ into two…

We study the density of periodic configurations for shift spaces defined on (the Cayley graph of) a finitely generated group. We prove that in the case of a full shift on a residually finite group and in that of a group shift space on an…

Let $H$ be a group acting on a simply-connected diagrammatically reducible combinatorial 2-complex $X$ with fine 1-skeleton. If the fixed point set $X^ H$ is non-empty, then it is contractible. Having fine 1-skeleton is a weaker version of…

This article is a sequel to hep-th/9411050, q-alg/9412017, q-alg/9503013. Given a collection of $m$ finite factorizable sheaves $\{\CX_k\}$, we construct here some perverse sheaves over configuration spaces of points on a projective line…

We provide a complete classification of the possible cofinal structures of the families of precompact (totally bounded) sets in general metric spaces, and compact sets in general complete metric spaces. Using this classification, we…

For each countable ordinal $\alpha$, we introduce an ideal $conv_\alpha$ and use it to characterize the class of all compact countable spaces which are homeomorphic to the space $\omega^{\alpha}\cdot n+1$ with the order topology. The…

Let G be a finite group acting tamely on a proper reduced curve C over an algebraically closed field. We study the G-module structure on the cohomology groups of a G-equivariant locally free sheaf F on C, and give formulas of…

The class of locally compact near abelian groups is introduced and investigated as a class of metabelian groups formalizing and applying the concept of scalar multiplication. The structure of locally compact near abelian groups and its…

Consider a pseudogroup on (C,0) generated by two local diffeomorphisms having analytic conjugacy classes a priori fixed in Diff(C,0). We show that a generic pseudogroup as above is such that every point has (possibly trivial) cyclic…

We investigate this class of groups originally called ulf (universal locally finite groups) of cardinality $\lambda$. We prove that for every locally finite group $G$ there is a canonical existentially closed extention of the same…

Using spaces of homomorphisms and the descending central series of the free groups, simplicial spaces are constructed for each integer q>1 and every topological group G, with realizations B(q,G) that filter the classifying space BG. In…

Finite topological spaces are in bijective correspondence with preorders on finite sets. We undertake their study using combinatorial tools that have been developed to investigate general discrete structures. A particular emphasis will be…
