Several authors have studied homomorphisms from first homology groups of modular curves to the second K-group of a cyclotomic ring or a modular curve X. These maps send Manin symbols in the homology groups to Steinberg symbols of cyclotomic…

Let (W,S) be a Coxeter system of finite rank (ie |S| is finite) and let A be the associated Coxeter (or Davis) complex. We study chains of pairwise parallel walls in A using Tits' bilinear form associated to the standard root system of…

Consider a compact Lie group and a closed subgroup. Generalizing a result of Klyachko, we give a necessary and sufficient criterion for a coadjoint orbit of the subgroup to be contained in the projection of a given coadjoint orbit of the…

The main goal of this paper is a calculation of the integral (co)homology of the group of symmetric automorphisms of a free product. We proceed by giving a geometric interpretation of symmetric automorphisms via a moduli space of certain…

Let $G$ be a simple graph on $d$ vertices. We define a monomial ideal $K$ in the Stanley-Reisner ring $A$ of the order complex of the Boolean algebra on $d$ atoms. The monomials in $K$ are in one-to-one correspondence with the proper…

We study final group topologies and their relations to compactness properties. In particular, we are interested in situations where a colimit or direct limit is locally compact, a k_\omega-space, or locally k_\omega. As a first application,…

In this paper, we deal with stable homology computations with twisted coefficients for mapping class groups of surfaces and of 3-manifolds, automorphism groups of free groups with boundaries and automorphism groups of certain right-angled…

In this paper, we give a concrete description of the higher homotopy groups (n>0) of the mapping space Map_{Alg}(R,S) for R and S unbounded differential graded algebras (DGA) over a commutative ring k. In the connective case, we describe…

Symmetric homology is an analog of cyclic homology in which the cyclic groups are replaced by symmetric groups. The foundations for the theory of symmetric homology of algebras are developed in the context of crossed simplicial groups using…

Let $k$ be a number field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $\mathfrak{F}_{k}^{G}(Q)$ be the family of number fields $K$ with absolute discriminant $D_K$ at most $Q$ such that $K/k$ is normal with Galois group isomorphic to $G$. If $G$ is the…

Every directed graph defines a Hilbert space and a family of weighted shifts that act on the space. We identify a natural notion of periodicity for such shifts and study their C*-algebras. We prove the algebras generated by all shifts of a…

In this paper, we evaluate the algebraic $K$-groups of a planar cuspidal curve over a perfect $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra relative to the cusp point. A conditional calculation of these groups was given earlier by Hesselholt, assuming a…

Let $\G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over a number field $K$, $\mathcal{S}$ a finite set of places of $K$, $K_\mathcal{S}$ the direct product of the completions $K_v, v \in \mathcal{S}$, and $\OO$ the ring of $\mathcal{S}$-integers of…

Suppose $D$ is a finite dimensional C*-algebra carrying a continuous action $\overline{\Pi}$ of the circle group $\mathbb{T}$. We study the quantum symmetry group of $D$, taking $\overline{\Pi}$ into account. We show that they are braided…

We show that the dominance complex $\mathcal{D}(G)$ of a graph $G$ coincides with the combinatorial Alexander dual of the neighborhood complex $\mathcal{N}(\overline{G})$ of the complement of $G$. Using this, we obtain a relation between…

We describe co-adjoint orbits and Casimir functions for two-step free-nilpotent Lie algebras. The symplectic foliation consists of affine subspaces of the Lie coalgebra of different dimensions. Further, we consider left-invariant…

We give a formula for homotopy limits and homotopy colimits of diagrams of chain complexes using the cobar and bar constructions, also known as the Bousfield--Kan formula. Along the way, we show that the Bousfield--Kan formula computes…

The purpose of this article is to describe connections between the loop space of the 2-sphere, Artin's braid groups, a choice of simplicial group whose homotopy groups are given by modules called Lie(n), as well as work of Milnor, and…

The direct sum of irreducible level one integrable representations of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebra of (affine) type $ADE$ carries a structure of $P/Q$-graded vertex operator algebra. There exists a filtration on this direct sum studied by…

k-graphs are higher-rank analogues of directed graphs which were first developed to provide combinatorial models for operator algebras of Cuntz-Krieger type. Here we develop the theory of covering spaces for k-graphs, obtaining a…
