We show that a modification of the proof of a result of Gulliksen gives an elementary proof of the following important theorem by Avramov: if $(A,k) \to (B,l)$ is a homomorphism of noetherian local rings and $B$ is of finite flat dimension…

We prove the following theorem: Let $\bar\F_p$ be an algebraic closure of a finite field of characteristic $p$. Let $\rho$ be a continuous homomorphism from the absolute Galois group of $\Q$ to $\GL(3,\bar\F_p)$ which is isomorphic to a…

We verify that universal classes in the cohomology of $GL_N$ determine explicit cohomology classes of Frobenius kernels $G_{(r)}$ of various linear algebraic groups $G$ . We consider the relationship of $\varprojlim_r H^*(U_{(r)},k)$ to the…

Let $G$ be an algebraic group over a field $k$, and $M$ and $N$ be $G$-modules. In 1961, Hochschild showed how one can define the cohomology groups $\text{Ext}_{G}^{i}(M,N)$. Kimura, in 1965, showed that one can generalize this to get…

For every $n\geq 1$, we calculate the Hochschild homology of the quantum monoids $M_q(n)$, and the quantum groups $GL_q(n)$ and $SL_q(n)$ with coefficients in a 1-dimensional module coming from a modular pair in involution.

Let Rep(F;K) denote the category of functors from finite dimensional F-vector spaces to K-modules, where F is a field and K is a commutative ring. We prove that, if F is a finite field, and Char F is invertible in K, then the K-linear…

Given a complex projective algebraic variety, write H(X) for its cohomology with complex coefficients and IH(X) for its Intersection cohomology. We first show that, under some fairly general conditions, the canonical map H(X)\to IH(X) is…

We propose a general quantum Hamiltonian formalism of a renormalization group (RG) flow with an emphasis on generalized symmetry by interpreting the elementary relationship between homomorphism, quotient ring, and projection. In our…

Given a closed, oriented surface X of genus g>1, and a semisimple Lie group G, let R_G be the moduli space of reductive representations of the fundamental group of X in G. We determine the number of connected components of R_PGL(n,R), for…

In this paper we define higher pre-Bloch groups p_n(F) of a field F. When our base field is algebraically closed we study its connection to the homology of the general linear groups with finite coefficient Z/l where l is a positive integer.…

Let $G$ be the universal Chevalley-Demazure group scheme corresponding to a reduced irreducible root system of rank $\geq 2$, and let $R$ be a commutative ring. We analyze the linear representations $\rho \colon G(R)^+ \to GL_n (K)$ over an…

For a triple $(G,A,\kappa)$ (where $G$ is a group, $A$ is a $G$-module and $\kappa:G^3\to A$ is a 3-cocycle) and a $G$-module $B$ we introduce a new cohomology theory $_2H^n(G,A,\kappa;B)$ which we call the secondary cohomology. We give a…

The conjugation representation of a finite group $G$ is the complex permutation module defined by the action of $G$ on itself by conjugation. Addressing a problem raised by Hain motivated by the study of a Hecke action on iterated Shimura…

We determine the ring structure of the loop homology of some global quotient orbifolds. We can compute by our theorem the loop homology ring with suitable coefficients of the global quotient orbifolds of the form $[M/G]$ for $M$ being some…

The idea that the cohomology of finite groups might be fruitfully approached via the cohomology of ambient semisimple algebraic groups was first shown to be viable in the papers [CPS75] and [CPSvdK77]. The second paper introduced, through a…

Let $R$ be an exchange ring. We prove that the relative elementary subgroups $E_n(R,I)$ are normal in the general linear group $GL_n(R)$ if $n\geq 1$ and that the standard commutator formula $E_n(R,I)=[E_n(R),E_n(R,I)]=[E_n(R),C_n(R,I)]$…

Let $\mathcal{O}$ be the ring of integers of a number field, and let $n\geq 3$. This paper studies bi-interpretability of the ring of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ with the special linear group $\text{SL}_n(\mathcal{O})$, the general linear group…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number. Peyre shows that there is a group $G$ of order $p^{12}$ such that $H_{nr}^3(\bm{C}(G), \bm{Q}/\bm{Z})$ is non-trivial. Using Peyre's method, we are able to prove that the same conclusion is true for some…

Let $G$ be a nonabelian, simple group with a nontrivial conjugacy class $C \subseteq G$. Let $K$ be a diagram of an oriented knot in $S^3$, thought of as computational input. We show that for each such $G$ and $C$, the problem of counting…

In our previous joint papers with Roozbeh Hazrat and Alexei Stepanov we established commutator formulas for relative elementary subgroups in $GL(n,R)$, $n\ge 3$, and other similar groups, such as Bak's unitary groups, or Chevalley groups.…
