Let p be an odd prime number. We show that there exists a finite group of order p^{p+3} whose the mod p cycle map from the mod p Chow ring of its classifying space to its ordinary mod p cohomology is not injective.

For all positive powers of primes $p\geq 5$, we prove the existence of infinitely many linear congruences between the exponents of twisted Borcherds products arising from a suitable scalar-valued weight $1/2$ weakly holomorphic modular form…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $q=p^m$, with $m \geq 1$ if $p \neq 2,3$ and $m>1$ otherwise. Let $\Omega$ be any non-trivial twist for the complex group algebra of $\mathbf{PSL}_2(q)$ arising from a $2$-cocycle on an abelian subgroup of…

Let $m$ be a positive integer and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ with the property that $m\mid#E(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for a density $1$ set of primes $p$. Building upon work of Katz and Harron-Snowden, we study the probability…

Let $P$ be a finite poset. We will show that for any reasonable $P$-persistent object $X$ in the category of finite topological spaces, there is a $P-$ weighted graph, whose clique complex has the same $P$-persistent homology as $X$.

For each $m\geq 1$, there exist infinitely many primes $p_1<p_2<\ldots<p_{m+1}$ such that $p_{m+1}-p_1=O(m^4e^{8m})$ and $p_j+2$ has at most $\frac{16m}{\log 2}+\frac{5\log m}{\log 2}+37$ prime divisors for each $j$.

Given a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ with large Mordell-Weil rank, we explain how one can build, for suitable small primes $p$, infinitely many fields of degree $p^2-1$ whose ideal class group has a large $p$-torsion…

Theorem: The topological partition relation omega^{*}-> (Y)^{1}_{2} (a) fails for every space Y with |Y| >= 2^c ; (b) holds for Y discrete if and only if |Y| <= c; (c) holds for certain non-discrete P-spaces Y ; (d) fails for Y= omega cup…

Recent results of Bourgain and Shparlinski imply that for almost all primes $p$ there is a multiple $mp$ that can be written in binary as $mp= 1+2^{m_1}+ \cdots +2^{m_k}, \quad 1\leq m_1 < \cdots < m_k,$ with $k=66$ or $k=16$, respectively.…

We answer a weaker version of the classification problem for the homotopy types of $(n-2)$-connected closed orientable $(2n-1)$-manifolds. Let $n\geq 6$ be an even integer, and $X$ be a $(n-2)$-connected finite orientable Poincar\'e…

A new method is given for computing generators of the homology groups with integer coefficients for any finite $T_0$-space. An important role in this method is played by irreducible cycles which are defined here and give rise to continuous…

Let p be a prime ideal in a commutative noetherian ring R. It is proved that if an R-module M satisfies Tor^R_n(k(p),M) = 0 for some n \geq dim R_p, where k(p) is the residue field at p, then Tor^R_i(k(p),M) = 0 holds for all i \geq n.…

This paper contains some results about the topology of $\M_{0,n+1}/\Sigma_n$, where $\M_{0,n+1}$ is the moduli space of genus zero Riemann surfaces with marked points. We show that $\M_{0,n+1}/\Sigma_n$ is not a topological manifold for…

We first show that simply connected co-$H$-spaces and connected $H$-spaces can be uniquely decomposed into prime factors in the homotopy category of pointed $p$-local spaces of finite type, which is used to develop a $p$-local version of…

Octonion algebras over rings are, in contrast to those over fields, not determined by their norm forms. Octonion algebras whose norm is isometric to the norm q of a given algebra C are twisted forms of C by means of the Aut(C)-torsor O(q)…

We show that the mod $\ell$ cohomology of any finite group of Lie type in characteristic $p$ different from $\ell$ admits the structure of a module over the mod $\ell$ cohomology of the free loop space of the classifying space $BG$ of the…

We introduce a novel sieve for prime numbers based on detecting topological obstructions in a M\"obius-transformed rational metric space. Unlike traditional sieves which rely on divisibility, our method identifies primes as those numbers…

Let $p$ be an odd prime, and fix integers $m$ and $n$ such that $0<m<n\leq (p-1)(p-2)$. We give a $p$-local homotopy decomposition for the loop space of the complex Stiefel manifold $W_{n,m}$. Similar decompositions are given for the loop…

Suppose a residually finite group $G$ acts cocompactly on a contractible complex with strict fundamental domain $Q$, where the stabilizers are either trivial or have normal $\mathbb{Z}$-subgroups. Let $\partial Q$ be the subcomplex of $Q$…

We study the $p$-\emph{torsion function} and the corresponding $p$-\emph{torsional rigidity} associated with $p$-Laplacians and, more generally, $p$-Schr\"odinger operators, for $1<p<\infty$, on possibly infinite combinatorial graphs. We…
