Motivated by the usefulness of boundaries in the study of hyperbolic and CAT(0) groups, Bestvina introduced a general approach to group boundaries via the notion of a Z-structure on a group G. Several variations on Z-structures have been…

In this paper, we have introduced the notion of {\Gamma}-fuzzification in {\Gamma}-AG-groupoids which is in fact the generalization of fuzzy AG-groupoids. We have studied several properties of an intra-regular {\Gamma}-AG^{**}-groupoids in…

A concrete lower-bound for the Hochschild cohomological dimension of a commutative $k$-algebra, in terms of three other homological invariants is obtained. This result is then used to show that most $k$-algebras fail to be quasi-free, even…

For a non-compact finite thickness building whose Davis apartment is an orientable pseudomanifold, we compute the supremum of the set of $p>1$ such that its top dimensional reduced $\ell^p$-cohomology is nonzero. We adapt the non-vanishing…

We exhibit a class of Schottky subgroups of $\mathbf{PU}(1,n)$ ($n \geq 2$) which we call well-positioned and show that the Hausdorff dimension of the limit set $\Lambda_\Gamma$ associated with such a subgroup $\Gamma$, with respect to the…

We show that for any finite-rank free group $\Gamma$, any word-equation in one variable of length $n$ with constants in $\Gamma$ fails to be satisfied by some element of $\Gamma$ of word-length $O(\log (n))$. By a result of the first…

Let P be the right-angled dodecahedron or 120-cell in hyperbolic space, and let W be the group generated by reflections across codimension-one faces of P. We prove that if Gamma is a torsion-free subgroup of minimal index in W, then the…

Covariant Lagrangian formulation for free bosonic massless fields of arbitrary mixed-symmetry type in (A)dS(d) space-time is presented. The analysis is based on the frame-like formulation of higher-spin field dynamics [1] with higher-spin…

We provide an explicit computation of the cohomology groups (with untwisted coefficients) of semidirect products of the form $\mathbb{Z}^n\rtimes \mathbb{Z}/m$ with $m$ free of squares, by means of formulas that only depend on $n$, $m$ and…

We prove that finitely generated purely loxodromic subgroups of a right-angled Artin group $A(\Gamma)$ fulfill equivalent conditions that parallel characterizations of convex cocompactness in mapping class groups $\text{Mod}(S)$. In…

We strengthen the connection between the Ahlfors-regular (AR) conformal dimension Confdim$(Z)$ of a compact AR metric space $Z$ and a certain critical exponent of the Poincar\'e profiles $p_{\Lambda}$ of its hyperbolic cone $X$ in the sense…

A new mathematical structure, called the cross-dimensional mathematics (CDM), is proposed. The CDM considered in this paper consists of three parts: hyper algebra, hyper geometry, and hyper Lie group/Lie algebra. Hyper algebra proposes some…

Let G be a simple, simply connected algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic p. Let \sigma:G->G be a strict endomorphism (i. e., the subgroup G(\sigma) of \sigma-fixed points is finite). Also,…

We compare the homology of a congruence subgroup Gamma of GL_2(Z) with coefficients in the Steinberg modules over Q and over E, where E is a real quadratic field. If R is any commutative base ring, the last connecting homomorphism…

For a noncompact complex hyperbolic space form of finite volume $X=\mathbb{B}^n/\Gamma$, we consider the problem of producing symmetric differentials vanishing at infinity on the Mumford compactification $\overline{X}$ of $X$ similar to the…

Let $G$ be a connected algebraic semisimple real Lie group with finite center and no compact factors, and let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of $G$. We show that $\Gamma$ contains free, finitely generated subsemigroups whose…

The (co)homological dimension of homomorphism $\phi:G\to H$ is the maximal number $k$ such that the induced homomorphism is nonzero for some $H$-module. The following theorems are proven: THEOREM 1. For every homomorphism $\phi:G\to H$ of a…

For any rank-one Riemannian symmetric space S of non-compact type and any discrete, cofinite, non-cocompact, torsion-free group $\Gamma$ of orientation-preserving Riemannian isometries on S, we develop a cohomological interpretation for the…

An essentially free group action of $\Gamma$ on $(X,\mu)$ is called W*-superrigid if the crossed product von Neumann algebra $L^\infty(X) \rtimes \Gamma$ completely remembers the group $\Gamma$ and its action on $(X,\mu)$. We prove…

For $n\geq 2$, let $\Gamma\subset \mathrm{SU}((n,1),\mathcal{O}_{K})$ be a torsion-free, finite-index subgroup, where $\mathcal{O}_K$ denotes the ring of integers of a totally imaginary number field $K$ of degree $2$. Let $\mathbb{B}^n$…
