In a previous paper, we showed that all the cohomological invariants of Weyl groups are completely determined by their restrictions to the abelian subgroups generated by reflections. Using this principle, we describe all the cohomological…

Let K/F be a cyclic extension of prime degree l over a number field F. If F has class number coprime to l, we study the structure of the l-Sylow subgroup of the class group of K. In particular, when F contains the l-th roots of unity, we…

Motivated by the work of Lubotzky, we use Galois cohomology to study the difference between the number of generators and the minimal number of relations in a presentation of the Galois group $G_S(k)$ of the maximal extension of a global…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valued field of characteristic zero with residue field $k_K$ of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $L/K$ be a finite Galois extension with the Galois group $G$ and suppose that the induced extension of residue fields…

We show that the Andr\'{e} motive of a hyper-K\"{a}hler variety $X$ over a field $K \subset \mathbb{C}$ with $b_2(X)>6$ is governed by its component in degree $2$. More precisely, we prove that if $X_1$ and $X_2$ are deformation equivalent…

For any type of fundamental groupoid scheme, we construct an algebraic cohomology theory for varieties with coefficients in the base field. This is a minor variant of \'etale cohomology, involving neither de Rham complexes nor…

Let $F$ be a global function field of characteristic $p>0$, $K/F$ an $\ell$-adic Lie extension ($\ell\neq p$) and $A/F$ an abelian variety. We provide Euler characteristic formulas for the $Gal(K/F)$-module $Sel_A(K)_\ell$.

Suppose $X$ is a smooth projective geometrically irreducible curve over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. Let $G$ be a finite group acting faithfully on $X$ over $k$ such that $G$ has non-trivial, cyclic Sylow…

We show that if a group $G$ has a finite normal subgroup $L$ such that $G/L$ is hypercentral, then the index of the hypercenter of $G$ is bounded by a function of the order of $L$. This completes recent results generalizing classical…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective geometrically connected variety defined over a number field $K$. We prove that the geometric \'etale cohomology of $X$ with $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$-coefficients has finitely many classes invariant under the…

We establish that any finite extension of function fields of genus greater than 1 whose relative class group is trivial is Galois and cyclic. This depends on a result from a preceding paper which establishes a finite list of possible Weil…

We generalize a theorem of Tate and show that the second cohomology of the Weil group of a global or local field with coefficients in $\C^*$ (or more generally, with coefficients in the complex points of a tori over $\C$) vanish, where the…

In \cite{BKN} the authors initiated a study of the representation theory of classical Lie superalgebras via a cohomological approach. Detecting subalgebras were constructed and a theory of support varieties was developed. The dimension of a…

We show that the mod $\ell$ cohomology of any finite group of Lie type in characteristic $p$ different from $\ell$ admits the structure of a module over the mod $\ell$ cohomology of the free loop space of the classifying space $BG$ of the…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ a field of characteristic $p$. We conjecture that if $M$ is a $kG$-module with $H^*(G,M)$ finitely generated as a module over $H^*(G,k)$ then as an element of the stable module category…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $F$ a totally real number field unramified at places above $p$. Let $\bar{r}:\operatorname{Gal}(\bar F/F)\rightarrow\operatorname{GL}_2(\bar{\mathbb{F}_p})$ be a modular Galois representation which satisfies…

In this paper we define complex equivariant K-theory for actions of Lie groupoids using finite-dimensional vector bundles. For a Bredon-compatible Lie groupoid, this defines a periodic cohomology theory on the category of finite equivariant…

By a result of Gerstenhaber and Schack the simplicial cohomology ring $H^*(\mathcal{C};k)$ of a poset $\mathcal{C}$ is isomorphic to the Hochschild cohomology ring $HH^*(k\mathcal{C})$ of the category algebra $k\mathcal{C}$, where the poset…

It is known that Hochschild cohomology groups are represented by crossed extensions of associative algebras. In this paper, we introduce crossed $n$-fold extensions of a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ by a module $M$, for $n \geq 2$. The…

Let $K$ be a field finitely generated over the field of rational numbers, $K(c)$ the extension of $K$ obtained by adjoining all roots of unity, $L$ an infinite Galois extension of $K$, $X$ an abelian variety defined over $K$. We prove that…
