Let $G = \ZZ_p$, $p$ an odd prime, act freely on a finite-dimensional CW-complex $X$ with mod $p$ cohomology isomorphic to that of a lens space $L^{2m-1} (p;q_1,...,q_m)$. In this paper, we determine the mod $p$ cohomology ring of the orbit…

We calculate mod-p cohomology of extended powers, and their group completions which are free infinite loop spaces. We consider the cohomology of all extended powers of a space together and identify a Hopf ring structure with divided powers…

Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-p})$ be a quadratic field for an odd prime $p$. We show that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ for which no elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ has torsion subgroup $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times…

We study ordered configuration spaces $C(n;p,q)$ of $n$ hard squares in a $p \times q$ rectangle, a generalization of the well-known "15 Puzzle". Our main interest is in the topology of these spaces. Our first result is to describe a…

We say that a space X admits a homology exponent if there exists an exponent for the torsion subgroup of the integral homology. Our main result states if an H-space of finite type admits a homology exponent, then either it is, up to…

We show that for every finitely presented pro-$p$ nilpotent-by-abelian-by-finite group $G$ there is an upper bound on $\dim_{\mathbb{Q}_p} (H_1(M, \mathbb{Z}_p) \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}_p} \mathbb{Q}_p )$, as $M$ runs through all pro-$p$…

We give a refinement of the stable Snaith splitting of the double loop space of a Moore space and use it to construct infinite $v_1$-periodic families of elements of order $p^{r+1}$ in the homotopy groups of mod $p^r$ Moore spaces. For odd…

We calculate the topological Hochschild homology groups of a maximal order in a central algebra over the rationals. Since the positive-dimensional THH groups consist only of torsion, we do this one prime ideal at a time for all the nonzero…

We investigate the (co)homological properties of two classes of Lie algebras that are constructed from any finite poset: the solvable class $\frak{gl}^\preceq$ and the nilpotent class $\frak{gl}^\prec$. We confirm the conjecture of…

Lyubeznik conjectured that local cohomology modules of regular rings have finitely many associated primes. We examine this conjecture for polynomial rings over the integers, and record some equational identities that arise from studying…

For a prime number p, we characterize the groups that may arise as torsion subgroups of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication defined over a number field of degree 2p. In particular, our work shows that a classification in the…

We provide a short proof that the dimensions of the mod $p$ homology groups of the unordered configuration space $B_k(T)$ of $k$ points in a torus are the same as its Betti numbers for $p>2$ and $k\leq p$. Hence the integral homology has no…

We show, for primes p less than or equal to 13, that a number of well-known MU_(p)-rings do not admit the structure of commutative MU_(p)-algebras. These spectra have complex orientations that factor through the Brown-Peterson spectrum and…

We establish a loop space decomposition for certain $CW$-complexes with a single top cell in the presence of a spherical pair, thereby generalizing several known decompositions of Poincar\'{e} duality complexes in which a loop of a product…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $K$ a number field that contains the $p$-th root of unity $\zeta_p$, $d$ a $p$-power-free integer and $L=K(\sqrt[p]{d})$. Let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with full $p$-torsion and $S,T \in E(K)[p]$ be the…

Let $N$ be a prime 3-manifold that is not a closed graph manifold. Building on a result of Hongbin Sun and using a result of Asaf Hadari we show that for every $k\in\Bbb{N}$ there exists a finite cover $\tilde{N}$ of $N$ such that…

We study the injectivity property of certain actions of higher Chow groups on refined unramified cohomology. As an application for every $p\geq1$ and for each $d\geq p+4$ and $n\geq2,$ we establish the first examples of smooth complex…

Let $p$ be a prime number, let $d$ be an integer and let $G$ be a $d$-generated finite $p$-group of nilpotency class smaller than $p$. Then the number of possible isomorphism types for the mod $p$ cohomology algebra $H^*(G;{\mathbb F}_p)$…

We describe torsion classes in the first cohomology group of $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. In particular, we obtain generalized Dickson's invariants for p-power polynomial rings. Secondly, we describe torsion classes in the zero-th homology…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $R$ a $p$-torsion-free commutative $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$-algebra. We compute the periodic cyclic homology over $R$ of the universal differential graded algebra $R//p$ which is obtained from $R$ by universally…
