We use the Boothby-Wang fibration to construct certain simply connected K-contact manifolds and we give sufficient and necessary conditions on when such K-contact manifolds are homeomorphic to the odd dimensional spheres. If the symplectic…

In this article we construct a new family of simply connected symplectic 4-manifolds with $b_2^+ =1$ and $c_1^2 =2$ which are not diffeomorphic to rational surfaces by using rational blow-down technique. As a corollary, we conclude that a…

We introduce the Andre-Quillen cohomology of lambda-rings and Psi-rings, this is different to the lambda-ring cohomology defined by Yau in 2005. We show that there is a natural transformation connecting the cohomology of the K-theory of…

Let G be a topological group such that its homology H(G) with coefficients in a principal ideal domain R is an exterior algebra, generated in odd degrees. We show that the singular cochain functor carries the duality between G-spaces and…

Over the complex numbers, the complement of a collection of hyperplanes is a widely-studied object; the cohomology ring, in particular, is known to have a structure depending only on the combinatorial properties of the intersection of…

The main goal of this article is to study the cohomology rings and their applications of moment-angle complexes associated to Gorenstein* complexes, especially, the applications in combinatorial commutative algebra and combinatorics. First,…

De Rham cohomology, $d_V$- and $d_H$-cohomology of the differential algebra of locally pull-back exterior forms on the infinite-order jet manifold of a smooth fibre bundle are calculated.

We prove that the moment-angle complex $\mathcal Z_K$ corresponding to a 3-dimensional simplicial sphere $K$ has the cohomology ring isomorphic to the cohomology ring of a connected sum of products of spheres if and only if either (a) $K$…

We compute the rational cohomology of the moduli space of non-singular complex projective curves of genus 3 with two marked points.

We call an integral homology sphere $\textit{non-trivially}$ bounds a rational homology ball if it is obstructed from bounding an integral homology ball. After Fintushel and Stern's well-known example $\Sigma(2,3,7)$, Akbulut and Larson…

We classify singular Enriques surfaces in characteristic two supporting a rank nine configuration of smooth rational curves. They come in one-dimensional families defined over the prime field, paralleling the situation in other…

We discover a host of infinite periodic families in the 2-primary stable homotopy groups of spheres. We also confirm the existence of many families predicted by Hopkins--Mahowald. These families appear in nineteen different congruence…

The rational homology of unordered configuration spaces of points on any surface was studied by Drummond-Cole and Knudsen. We compute the rational cohomology of configuration spaces on a closed orientable surface, keeping track of the mixed…

In the present paper, as a generalization of the classical periodic rings, we explore those rings whose elements are additively generated by two (or more) periodic elements by calling them additively periodic. We prove that, in some major…

Let $f \colon R \to B$ be a surjective homomorphism of rings with kernel $I$. Gulliksen (when $I$ is generated by a regular sequence) and later Mehta (in general) showed that for any $B$-modules $M$ and $N$, $\mathrm{Ext}_B^{\ast}(M,N)$ has…

A purely combinatorial construction of the quantum cohomology ring of the flag manifold $G/B$ is presented. We show that the ring we construct is commutative, associative and satisfies the usual grading condition. By using results of two of…

We express the rational cohomology of the unordered configuration space of a compact oriented manifold as a representation of its mapping class group in terms of a weight-decomposition of the rational cohomology of the mapping space from…

We build a ring spectrum representing Milnor-Witt motivic cohomology, as well as its \'etale local version and show how to deduce out of it three other theories: Borel-Moore homology, cohomology with compact support and homology. These…

The cohomology ring with coefficients in $\Z_p$, where $p$ is a prime integer, of a Seifert manifold $M$, orientable or not orientable is obtained from a simplicial decomposition of $M$. Many choices must be made before applying…

Stable cohomology is a generalization of Tate cohomology to associative rings, first defined by Pierre Vogel. For a commutative local ring $R$ with residue field $k$, stable cohomology modules $\widehat{\mathrm{Ext}}{\vphantom…
