Let $S$ be a closed Shimura variety uniformized by the complex $n$-ball. The Hodge conjecture predicts that every Hodge class in $H^{2k} (S, \Q)$, $k=0, \ldots, n$, is algebraic. We show that this holds for all degree $k$ away from the…

A group $G$ is called subgroup conjugacy separable if for every pair of non-conjugate finitely generated subgroups of $G$, there exists a finite quotient of $G$ where the images of these subgroups are not conjugate. It is proved that the…

For a finite group $A$ with normal subgroup $G$, a subgroup $U$ of $G$ is an $A$-prime-power-covering subgroup if $U$ meets every $A$-conjugacy-class of elements of $G$ of prime power order. It is conjectured that $|G:U|$ is bounded by some…

Let $p: S\to S_g$ be a finite covering of an orientable closed surface of genus $g$. We prove that, for $g\geq 3$, the rational homology group $H_1(S;{\mathbb Q})$ is generated by cycles supported on simple closed curves $\gamma\subset S$…

We show that the Fibered Isomorphism Conjecture (FIC) of Farrell and Jones corresponding to the stable topological pseudoisotopy functor is true for the fundamental groups of a large class of 3-manifolds. We also prove that if the FIC is…

In this note, we exhibit a method to prove the Baum-Connes conjecture (with coefficients) for extensions with finite quotients of certain groups which already satisfy the Baum-Connes conjecture. Interesting examples to which this method…

In this note we study a class of finite groups for which the orders of subgroups satisfy a certain inequality. In particular, characterizations of the well-known groups $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{Z}_2$ and $S_3$ are obtained.

A subset S of a group G invariably generates G if G = <s^(g(s)) | s in S> for each choice of g(s) in G, s in S. In this paper we study invariable generation of infinite groups, with emphasis on linear groups. Our main result shows that a…

Let $p$ be an odd prime number and $F$ a field containing a primitive $p$th root of unity. We prove a new restriction on the group-theoretic structure of the absolute Galois group $G_F$ of $F$. Namely, the third subgroup $G_F^{(3)}$ in the…

In the topological category, the classification of homotopy ribbon discs is known when the fundamental group $G$ of the exterior is $\mathbb{Z}$ and the Baumslag-Solitar group $BS(1,2)$. We prove that if a group $G$ is geometrically…

We use the properties of the refined Bloch group of a field to prove that H_3 of SL_2 of a global field is never finitely generated, and to calculate - up to some 2-torsion - H_3 of SL_2 of local fields with finite residue field of odd…

For all sufficiently large odd integers $n$, the following version of Higman's embedding theorem is proved in the variety ${\cal B}_n$ of all groups satisfying the identity $x^n=1$. A finitely generated group $G$ from ${\cal B}_n$ has a…

Let KG be a group algebra of a finite p-group G over a finite field K of characteristic p. We compute the order of the unitary subgroup of the group of units when G is either an extraspecial 2-group or the central product of such a group…

As a consequence of Kirchberg's work, Connes' Embedding Conjecture is equivalent to the property that every homomorphism of the group $F_\infty\times F_\infty$ into the unitary group $U(\ell^2)$ with the strong topology is pointwise…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $\Bbbk$ a field of characteristic $p$ and $G$ a finite $p$-group. Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional linear representation of $G$ over $\Bbbk$. Write $S = \mathrm{Sym} V^*$. For a class of $p$-groups which we call…

Let $\mathfrak{g}\neq \mathfrak{so}_8$ be a simple Lie algebra of type $A,D,E$ with $\widehat{\mathfrak{g}}$ the corresponding affine Kac-Moody algebra and $\mathfrak{n}_-\subset \widehat{\mathfrak{g}}$ a nilpotent subalgebra. Given…

We prove that the quotients of the group algebra of the braid group on 3 strands by a generic quartic and quintic relation respectively, have finite rank. This is a special case of a conjecture by Brou\'{e}, Malle and Rouquier for the…

We develop a framework that generalizes Budney-Gabai's $W_3$ invariant on $\pi_0\textrm{Diff}(S^1\times D^3,\partial)$ to 4-manifolds with 1-handles. As applications, we show that if $M=(S^1\times D^3)\natural \hat M$ where $\hat M$ either…

In this paper, we show that general homogeneous manifolds $G/P$ satisfy Conjecture $\mathcal{O}$ of Galkin, Golyshev and Iritani which `underlies' Gamma conjectures I and II of them. Our main tools are the quantum Chevalley formula for…

It is well known that the inequivalent unitary irreducible representations (UIR's) of the mapping class group $G$ of a 3-manifold give rise to ``theta sectors'' in theories of quantum gravity with fixed spatial topology. In this paper, we…
