One of the main themes of this long article is the study of projective varieties which are K(H,1)'s, i.e. classifying spaces BH for some discrete group H. After recalling the basic properties of such classifying spaces, an important class…
The well-known theorem of Eilenberg and Ganea expresses the Lusternik - Schnirelmann category of an aspherical space as the cohomological dimension of its fundamental group. In this paper we study a similar problem of determining…
We give a new solution of the "homotopy periods" problem, as highlighted by Sullivan, which places explicit geometrically meaningful formulae first dating back to Whitehead in the context of Quillen's formalism for rational homotopy theory…
We apply a theorem of J. Lurie to produce cohomology theories associated to certain Shimura varieties of type U(1,n-1). These cohomology theories of topological automorphic forms (TAF) are related to Shimura varieties in the same way that…
We investigate Hopf algebroids in the category of $L$-complete modules over a commutative Noetherian regular complete local ring. The main examples are provided by the Hopf algebroids associated to Lubin-Tate spectra in the K(n)-local…
We construct a spectral sequence converging to the Morava $E$-theory of unordered configuration spaces and identify its E$^2$-page as the homology of a Chevalley-Eilenberg-like complex for Hecke Lie algebras. Based on this, we compute the…
The study of the pentagon (fusion) equation leds to the Structure and the Classification theorem for finite dimenasional Hopf algebras: there exists a one to one correspondence between the set of types of n-dimensional Hopf algebtras and…
We construct moduli spaces of complex affine and dilation surfaces. Using ideas of Veech, we show that the the moduli space of affine surfaces with fixed genus and with cone points of fixed complex order is a holomorphic affine bundle over…
We compute the completed E(n) cohomology of the classifying spaces of the symmetric groups, and relate the answer to the theory of finite subgroups of formal groups.
We calculate the $K(n-1)$-localized $E_n$ theory for symmetric groups, and deduce a modular interpretation of the total power operation $\psi^p_F$ on $F=L_{K(n-1)}E_n$ in terms of augmented deformations of formal groups and their subgroups.…
In this paper we consider the category $C (\tilde k, \tilde H)$ of the $(\tilde k, \tilde H)$-modules, including all the Verma modules, where $k$ is some compact Lie algebra and H some Cartan subgroup, $\tilde k$ and $\tilde H$ are the…
We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively…
We give infinite series of groups Gamma and of compact complex surfaces of general type S with fundamental group Gamma such that 1) Any surface S' with the same Euler number as S, and fundamental group Gamma, is diffeomorphic to S. 2) The…
We extend Halphen's theorem which characterizes the solutions of certain $n$th-order differential equations with rational coefficients and meromorphic fundamental systems to a first-order $n \times n$ system of differential equations. As an…
We obtain some new results on classical solutions of two dimensional Euclidean sigma models. From earlier work of Din-Zakrzewski, Glaser-Stora, and numerous differential geometers, one knows explicit solutions in the case of the…
We establish that $E_n$-operads satisfy a rational intrinsic formality theorem for $n\geq 3$. We gain our results in the category of Hopf cooperads in cochain graded dg-modules which defines a model for the rational homotopy of operads in…
We compute the fundamental group of the "moduli space" of classical solutions of the two dimensional Euclidean $S^n$-model.
Given a maximal finite subgroup G of the nth Morava stabilizer group at a prime p, we address the question: is the associated higher real K-theory EO_n a summand of the K(n)-localization of a TAF-spectrum associated to a unitary similitude…
We establish duality between real forms of the quantum deformation of the 4-dimensional orthogonal group studied by Fioresi et al. and the classification work made by Borowiec et al.. Classically these real forms are the isometry groups of…
A well-known result by Larson and Sweedler shows that integrals on a Hopf algebra can be obtained by applying the Structure Theorem for Hopf modules to the rational part of its linear dual. This fact can be rephrased by saying that taking…
