The notion of $\Gamma$-symmetric space is a natural generalization of the classical notion of symmetric space based on $\z_2$-grading of Lie algebras. In our case, we consider homogeneous spaces $G/H$ such that the Lie algebra $\g$ of $G$…

For a compact, oriented, hyperbolic $n$-manifold $(M,g)$, realised as $M= \Gamma \backslash \mathbb{H}^{n}$ where $\Gamma$ is a torsion-free cocompact subgroup of $SO(n,1)$, we establish and study a relationship between differential…

A closed 3-form $H \in \Omega^3_0(M)$ defines an extension of $\Gamma(TM)$ by $\Omega^2_0(M)$. This fact leads to the definition of the group of $H$-twisted Hamiltonian symmetries $\Ham(M, \JJ; H)$ as well as Hamiltonian action of Lie group…

For a group $G$, we define a graph $\Delta(G)$ by letting $G^{\#} = G \setminus \{ 1 \}$ be the set of vertices and by drawing an edge between distinct elements $x,y\in G^{\#}$ if and only if the subgroup $\langle x,y\rangle$ is cyclic.…

We describe a graded extension of the usual Hecke algebra: it acts in a graded fashion on the cohomology of an arithmetic group $\Gamma$. Under favorable conditions, the cohomology is freely generated in a single degree over this graded…

In a previous paper [3] we computed cohomology groups H^5 (Gamma_0 (N), \C), where Gamma_0 (N) is a certain congruence subgroup of SL (4, \Z), for a range of levels N. In this note we update this earlier work by extending the range of…

Let $G$ be the group $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$, $P\subset G$ be the parabolic subgroup of upper triangular matrices and $\Gamma\subset G$ be a cocompact lattice. A right action of $P$ on $\Gamma\backslash G$ defines an orbit foliation…

This work represents the concept of an n-groupoid $ \Gamma^n $ and n-characters $ \chi_n $ on n-groupoids as complex-valued maps from spaces of different classes of morphisms satisfying the condition $ \chi_n (\psi \circ_k \varphi) = \chi_n…

$\Gamma$-structures are weak forms of multiplications on closed oriented manifolds. As shown by Hopf the rational cohomology algebras of manifolds admitting $\Gamma$-structures are free over odd degree generators. We prove that this…

The {\em topological symmetry group} of an embedding $\Gamma$ of an abstract graph $\gamma$ in $S^3$ is the group of automorphisms of $\gamma$ which can be realized by homeomorphisms of the pair $(S^3, \Gamma)$. These groups are motivated…

The paper examines machines of the type of the $\Gamma$-spaces of Segal which describe homotopy structures on topological spaces. The main result of the paper shows that for any such machine one can find an algebraic theory characterizing…

Suppose $\Gamma$ is an arithmetic group defined over a global field $K$, that the $K$-type of $\Gamma$ is $A_n$ with $n \geq 2$, and that the ambient semisimple group that contains $\Gamma$ as a lattice has at least two noncocompact…

Let $\Gamma$ be a word hyperbolic group with a cyclic JSJ decomposition that has only rigid vertex groups, which are all fundamental groups of closed surface groups. We show that any group $H$ quasi-isometric to $\Gamma$ is abstractly…

In this paper we consider all these nonassociative algebras defined by the action of invariant subspaces of the symmetric group $\Sigma_3$ on the associator of the considered laws.

The main goal of this note is to suggest an algebraic approach to the quasi-isometric classification of partially commutative groups (alias right-angled Artin groups). More precisely, we conjecture that if the partially commutative groups…

In the present paper we compute the Jacobian group of $\Delta$-graph $\Delta(n; k, l, m).$ The notion of $\Delta$-graph continues the list of families of $I$-, $Y$- and $H$-graphs well-known in the graph theory. In particular, graph…

We give an explicit characterization for group extensions that correspond to elements of the symmetric cohomology $HS^2(G,A)$. We also give conditions for the map $HS^n(G,A)\to H^n(G,A)$ to be injective.

In a series of papers the authors associated to an $L^2$-acyclic group $\Gamma$ an invariant $\mathcal{P}(\Gamma)$ that is a formal difference of polytopes in the vector space $H_1(\Gamma;\Bbb{R})$. This invariant is in particular defined…

In this note, we reformulate the invariant $\Delta (M, \omega)$ that we defined before, and show its relation with Reidemeister torsion. We calculate $\Delta (M, \omega)$ when the $3$-manifolds are lens spaces, and discuss the…

For a finite group $\Gamma$, acting on a finite group $G,$ we find necessary conditions for which the first $\Gamma_0$-equivariant Hochschild cohomology of the group algebra $kG$ is non-trivial, where $k$ is a field of characteristic $p$…
