We study the $H^3$ invariant of a group homomorphism $\phi:G \rightarrow \mathrm{Out}(A)$, where $A$ is a classifiable C$^*$-algebra. We show the existence of an obstruction to possible $H^3$ invariants arising from considering the unitary…

Let $Q$ be a quiver and $R$ an associative ring. A representation by $R$-modules of $Q$ is called strongly fp-injective if it admits a pure acyclic injective resolution in the category of representations. It is shown that such…

We describe the tensor products of two irreducible linear complex representations of the finite general linear group G = GL(3,q) in terms of induced representations by linear characters of maximal torii and also in terms of Gelfand-Graev…

This paper gives infinitely many examples of non L-space irreducible integer homology 3-spheres whose fundamental groups do not have nontrivial $\widetilde{PSL_2(\mathbb{R})}$ representations.

We formulate a "correct" version of the Quillen conjecture on linear group homology for certain arithmetic rings and provide evidence for the new conjecture. In this way we predict that the linear group homology has a direct summand looking…

A ring R is called an E-ring if the canonical homomorphism from R to the endomorphism ring End(R_Z) of the additive group R_Z, taking any r in R to the endomorphism left multiplication by r turns out to be an isomorphism of rings. In this…

For finite nilpotent groups $G$ and $G^{\prime}$, and a $G$-adapted ring $S$ (the rational integers, for example), it is shown that any isomorphism between the centers of the group rings $SG$ and $SG^{\prime}$ is monomial, i.e., maps class…

A Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{Q}$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is said to be $\mathbb{R}$-universal if every homomorphism from $\mathfrak{g}_\mathbb{Q}$ to $\mathfrak{gl}(n,\mathbb{R})$ is conjugate to a homomorphism into…

We prove that an integral homology 3-sphere is S^3 if and only if it admits four periodic diffeomorphisms of odd prime orders whose space of orbits is S^3. As an application we show that an irreducible integral homology sphere which is not…

Homography has an essential relationship with the special linear group and the embedding Lie algebra structure. Although the Lie algebra representation is elegant, few researchers have established the connection between homography and…

We propose a new framework for the study of homological properties for (compactly generated) triangulated categories such as regularity, finiteness of global or finitistic dimension, gorensteinness or injective generation and the relation…

Let $q=p^s$ be a prime power, $F$ a field containing a root of unity of order $q$, and $G_F$ its absolute Galois group. We determine a new canonical quotient $\mathrm{Gal}(F_{(3)}/F)$ of $G_F$ which encodes the full mod-$q$ cohomology ring…

We prove the conjectures of Yau-Zaslow and Gottsche concerning the number curves on K3 surfaces. Specifically, let X be a K3 surface and C be a holomorphic curve in X representing a primitive homology class. We count the number of curves of…

We study non-trivial deformations of the natural imbedding of the Lie algebra $\fh_1$ of lower triangular matrices (the Heisenberg Lie algebra) into $gl(3,\mathbb{K})$, where $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $|mathbb{C}$. Our first result is the…

For an infinite field $F$, we study the kernel of the map $H_{n}(\mathrm{GL}_{n-1}(F),\mathbb{Z}\Big[\frac{1}{(m-2)!}\Big]) \to H_{n}(\mathrm{GL}_{n}(F),\mathbb{Z}\Big[\frac{1}{(m-2)!}\Big])$ and the cokernel of…

Let $U(KG)$ be the group of units of the group ring $KG$ of the group $G$ over a commutative ring $K$. The anti-automorphism $g\mapsto g\m1$ of $G$ can be extended linearly to an anti-automorphism $a\mapsto a^*$ of $KG$. Let $S_*(KG)=\{x\in…

We prove that if an integer homology three-sphere contains an embedded incompressible torus, then its fundamental group admits irreducible SU(2)-representations. Our methods use instanton Floer homology, and in particular the surgery exact…

We consider groups G which have a cocompact, 3-manifold model for the classifying space \underline{E}G. We provide an algorithm for computing the rationalized equivariant K-homology of \underline{E}G. Under the additional hypothesis that…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ and let $G$ be a finite cyclic group of order $n$. In this note we prove, using induction on the number of prime divisors of $n$, that $R_K(G)/I \cong \mathbb{Z}[X]/\langle…

Building upon work of Y. Shalom we give a homological-algebra flavored definition of an induction map in group homology associated to a topological coupling. As an application we obtain estimates of the (co)homological dimension of groups G…
