The first $l^p$-cohomology is an algebro-analytical object attached to a finitely generated discrete group and introduced by M. Gromov. It is well known that it is invariant under quasi-isometry. In this article, we prove that the…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated, infinite group, let $p>1$, and let $L^p(G)$ denote the Banach space $\{\sum_{x\in G} a_xx \mid \sum_{x\in G} |a_x |^p < \infty \}$. In this paper we will study the first cohomology group of $G$ with…

We prove that the first reduced cohomology with values in a mixing Lp-representation, p larger than 1, vanishes for a class of amenable groups including connected amenable Lie groups. In particular this solves for this class of amenable…

Let G be an infinite discrete group of type FP-infinity and let p>1 be a real number. We prove that the l^p-homology and cohomology groups of G are either 0 or infinite dimensional. We also show that the cardinality of the p-harmonic…

We obtain non-vanishing of group $L^p$-cohomology of Lie groups for $p$ large and when the degree is equal to the rank of the group. This applies both to semisimple and to some suitable solvable groups. In particular, it confirms that…

We show that the continuous $L^p$-cohomology of locally compact second countable groups is a quasi-isometric invariant. As an application, we prove partial results supporting a positive answer to a question asked by M.~Gromov, suggesting a…

We prove that there is a bound on the dimension of the first cohomology group of a finite group with coefficients in an absolutely irreducible in characteristic p in terms of the sectional p-rank of the group.

Let E/Q be an elliptic curve and p be a prime number, and let G be the Galois group of the extension of Q obtained by adjoining the coordinates of the p-torsion points on E. We determine all cases when the Galois cohomology group H^1(G,…

Let $p$ be a real number greater than one and let $G$ be a finitely generated, infinite group. In this paper we introduce the $p$-harmonic boundary of $G$. We then characterize the vanishing of the first reduced $\ell^p$-cohomology of $G$…

We initiate the investigation of critical exponents (in degree equal to the rank) for the vanishing of L^p-cohomology of higher rank Lie groups and related manifolds. We deal with the rank 2 case and exhibit such phenomena for SL$_3$(R) and…

Let G be a group of type FP_n and let p>1. In this paper we show that the reduced l^p-homology of G is dual to the reduced l^q-cohomology for \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=1. In our main theorem we show that for a group of type FP_n with a…

Consider a compact surface of genus at least two. We prove that the first cohomology group of the mapping class group with coefficients in the space of algebraic functions on the SL(2, C) moduli space vanishes.

The aim of the current paper is to explore the implications on the group $G$ of the non-vanishing of the cohomology in degree one of one of its representation $\pi$, given some mixing conditions on $\pi$. In one direction, harmonic cocycles…

We investigate the first two Galois cohomology groups of $p$-extensions over a base field which does not necessarily contain a primitive $p$th root of unity. We use twisted coefficients in a systematic way. We describe field extensions…
