The tautness for a cohomology theory is formulated and studied by various authors. However, the analogous property is not considered for a homology theory. In this paper, we will define and study this very property for the Massey homology…

Let $M$ be a $G$-manifold and $\om$ a $G$-invariant exact $m$-form on $M$. We indicate when these data allow us to constract a cocycle on a group $G$ with values in the trivial $G$-module $\mathbb R$ and when this cocycle is nontrivial.

This is a survey on the equivariant cohomology of Lie group actions on manifolds, from the point of view of de Rham theory. Emphasis is put on the notion of equivariant formality, as well as on applications to ordinary cohomology and to…

We construct a Thom class in complex equivariant elliptic cohomology extending the equivariant Witten genus. This gives a new proof of the rigidity of the Witten genus, which exhibits a close relationship to recent work on non-equivariant…

A generalization of Connes-Thom isomorphism is given for stable, homotopy invariant, and split exact functors on separable $C^*$-algebras. As examples of these functors, we concentrate on asymptotic and local cyclic cohomology and the…

In this paper I present a kind of proof for classical Euclidean geometric problems which relies on both synthetic and analytic geometry. Using the elementary tools of polynomial algebra and multivariate calculus we manage to reduce the…

We survey a geometric approach to the Johnson homomorphisms using the Goldman-Turaev Lie bialgebra.

We revisit the notion of one-sided recognizability of morphisms and its relation to two-sided recognizability.

A novel approach to an old symmetry problem is developed. A new proof is given for the following symmetry problem, studied earlier.

We give an overview of differential cohomology from the point of view of algebraic topology. This includes a survey of several different definitions of differential cohomology groups, a discussion of differential characteristic classes, an…

In this article we prove that the $KH$-asembly map, as defined by Bartels and L{\"u}ck, can be described in terms of the algebraic $KK$-theory of Cortinas and Thom. The $KK$-theory description of the $KH$-assembly map is similar to that of…

We explain a method for calculating the cohomology of line bundles on a toric variety in terms of the cohomology of certain constructible sheaves on the polytope. We show its effective use by means of some examples.

We motivate and survey the theory of BPS invariants of categories and BPS cohomology of stacks, indicating applications in enumerative geometry and representation theory, as well as recent advances.

We show that the category of numerically generated pointed spaces is complete, cocomplete, and monoidally closed with respect to the smash product, and then utilize these features to establish a simple but flexible method for constructing…

We introduce the notion of skew-holomorphic Lie algebroid on a complex manifold, and explore some cohomologies theories that one can associate to it. Examples are given in terms of holomorphic Poisson structures of various sorts.

We give several characterizations of relative homological epimorphisms in the setting of locally convex topological algebras, thereby correcting a gap in our earlier paper [Trans. Moscow Math. Soc. 2008, 27-104].

For an arbitrary compact Lie group G, we describe a model for rational G-spectra with toral geometric isotropy and show that there is a convergent Adams spectral sequence based on it. The contribution from geometric isotropy at a subgroup K…

Let Map(K,X) denote the space of pointed continuous maps from a finite cell complex K to a space X. Let E_* be a generalized homology theory. We use Goodwillie calculus methods to prove that under suitable conditions on K and X, Map(K, X)…

We give a cohomological characterization of Gromov relative hyperbolicity. As an application we prove a converse to the combination theorem for graphs of relatively hyperbolic groups given in a previous paper of the first author. We build…

We define a cotriple (co)homology of crossed modules with coefficients in a $\pi_1$-module. We prove its general properties, including the connection with the existing cotriple theories on crossed modules. We establish the relationship with…
