We show that the universal abelian cover of the complement to a germ of a reducible divisor on a complex space $Y$ with isolated singularity is $(dimY-2)$-connected provided that the divisor has normal crossings outside of the singularity…

We give a purely combinatorial proof for a two-fold generalization of van der Waerden-Brauer's theorem and Hindman's theorem. We also give tower bounds for a finite version of it.

Given a fibration over the circle, we relate the eigenspace decomposition of the algebraic monodromy, the homological finiteness properties of the fiber, and the formality properties of the total space. In the process, we prove a more…

We extend some classical results - such as Quillen's Theorem A, the Grothendieck construction, Thomason's Theorem and the characterisation of homotopically cofinal functors - from the homotopy theory of small categories to polynomial monads…

We prove an analogue of Klein combination theorem for Anosov subgroups by using a local-to-global principle for Morse quasigeodesics.

We study algebraic aspects of Kontsevich integrals as generating functions for intersection theory over moduli space and review the derivation of Virasoro and KdV constraints. 1. Intersection numbers 2. The Kontsevich integral 2.1. The main…

Many of the conjectures of current interest in the representation theory of finite groups in characteristic $p$ are local-to-global statements, in that they predict consequences for the representations of a finite group $G$ given data about…

We define and study the derived categories of the first kind for curved DG and A-infinity algebras complete over a pro-Artinian local ring with the curvature elements divisible by the maximal ideal of the local ring. We develop the Koszul…

This paper is motivated by a relatively recent work by Joyce in special Lagrangian geometry, but the basic idea of the present paper goes back to an earlier pioneering work of Donaldson in Yang--Mills gauge theory; Donaldson discovered a…

We establish a relative version of the abstract "affine representability" theorem in ${\mathbb A}^1$--homotopy theory from Part I of this paper. We then prove some ${\mathbb A}^1$--invariance statements for generically trivial torsors under…

For the module category of a hereditary ring, the Ext-orthogonal pairs of subcategories are studied. For each Ext-orthogonal pair that is generated by a single module, a 5-term exact sequence is constructed. The pairs of finite type are…

We prove Behrend's conjecture on the rationality of the canonical reduction of principal bundles and reductive group schemes for classical groups and give new bounds for the conjecture for exceptional groups. However we find a…

We provide a reduction in the classification problem for non-compact, homogeneous, Einstein manifolds. Using this work, we verify the (Generalized) Alekseevskii Conjecture for a large class of homogeneous spaces.

An example is constructed of a local ring and a module of finite type and finite projective dimension over that ring such that the module is not rigid. This shows that the rigidity conjecture is false.

We develop an algebro-analytic framework for the systematic study of the continuous bounded cohomology of Lie groups in large degree. As an application, we examine the continuous bounded cohomology of PSL(2,R) with trivial real coefficients…

We categorify the notion of an infinitesimal braiding in a linear strict symmetric monoidal category, leading to the notion of a (strict) infinitesimal 2-braiding in a linear symmetric strict monoidal 2-category. We describe the associated…

We consider a combinatorial problem occurring naturally in a group theoretical setting and provide a constructive solution in a special case. More precisely, in 1999 the author established a logarithmic bound for the derived length of the…

We show that the Virasoro conjecture in Gromov--Witten theory holds for the the total space of a toric bundle $E \to B$ if and only if it holds for the base $B$. The main steps are: (i) we establish a localization formula that expresses…

A completeness conjecture is advanced concerning the free small-colimit completion P(A) of a (possibly large) category A. The conjecture is based on the existence of a small generating-cogenerating set of objects in A. We sketch how the…

We study a measure-theoretic notion of connectedness for sets of finite perimeter in the setting of doubling metric measure spaces supporting a weak $(1,1)$-Poincar\'{e} inequality. The two main results we obtain are a decomposition theorem…
