In the paper the \v{C}ech border homology and cohomology groups of closed pairs of normal spaces are constructed and investigated. These groups give intrinsic characterizations of \v{C}ech homology and cohomology groups based on finite open…

Let $\varphi$ and $\varphi'$ be two homotopic actions of the topological group $G$ on the topological space $X$. To an object $A$ in the $G$-equivariant derived category $D_{\varphi}(X)$ of $X$ relative to the action $\varphi$ we associate…

Using the topological technique of diagrams of spaces, we calculate the homology of the union and the complement of finite arrangements of subspaces of the form $D + SP^{n-d}(X)$ in symmetric products $SP^n(X)$ where $D\in SP^d(X)$. As an…

We give a combinatorial description (including explicit differential-form bases) for the cohomology groups of the space of n distinct nonzero complex numbers, with coefficients in rank-one local systems which are of finite monodromy around…

The holomorph of a free group $F_n$ is the semidirect product $F_n \rtimes Aut(F_n)$. Using the methods of Hatcher and Vogtmann, we derive stability results and calculate the mod-$p$ homology of these holomorphs for odd primes $p$ in…

A Lie group $G$ endowed with a left invariant Riemannian metric $g$ is called Riemannian Lie group. Harmonic and biharmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds is an important area of investigation. In this paper, we study different aspects…

The first goal of this article is to give a complete classification (up to Real biholomorphisms) of Real primary Hopf surfaces $(H,s)$, and, for any such pair, to describe in detail the following naturally associated objects : the group…

We study in this article stable homology of automorphism groups of free groups with coefficients twisted by a poynomial functor. We show that this homology is zero for a reduced covariant polynomial functor. For a reduced contravariant…

We compute the first, second, third, and fifth rational cohomology groups of the moduli space of stable n-pointed genus g curves, for all g and n, using (mostly) algebro-geometric techniques.

Let $(\X,\omega)$ be a compact symplectic orbifold. We define $\pi_1(Ham(\X, \omega))$, the fundamental group of the 2-group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of $(\X, \omega)$, and construct a group homomorphism from $\pi_1(Ham(\X, \omega))$…

Given a finite group action on a smooth manifold, we study the following question: if two equivariant diffeomorphisms are isotopic, must they be equivariantly isotopic? Birman-Hilden and Maclachlan-Harvey proved the answer is "yes" for most…

We introduce configured group cohomology, a variant of locally smooth cohomology built from well-configured tuples and geometric fillings. This framework yields explicit locally smooth $\R/\Z$-valued $3$-cocycles of Chern--Simons type on…

In a previous paper we have classified the smooth projective symmetric G-varieties with Picard number one (and G semisimple). In this work we give a geometrical description of such varieties. In particular, we determine their group of…

Let $R$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables with coefficients in a field $K$ of characteristic zero. Let $D_n$ be the $n$-th Weyl algebra over $K$. Suppose that $f \in R$ defines a hyperplane arrangement in the affine space $K^n$. Then…

In this paper, for a finite group, we discuss a method for calculating equivariant homology with constant coefficients. We apply it to completely calculate the geometric fixed points of the equivariant spectrum representing equivariant…

We study certain subgroups of the full group of Hopf algebra automorphisms of a biproduct. In the process interesting subgroups of certain permutation groups come into play.

We show that for a Hamiltonian action of a compact torus $G$ on a compact, connected symplectic manifold $M$, the $G$-equivariant cohomology is determined by the residual $S^1$ action on the submanifolds of $M$ fixed by codimension-1 tori.…

It is a classical result of Powell that pure mapping class groups of connected, orientable surfaces of finite type and genus at least three are perfect. In stark contrast, we construct nontrivial homomorphisms from infinite-genus mapping…

For every hyperbolic group and more general hyperbolic graphs, we construct an equivariant ideal bicombing: this is a homological analogue of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We then construct a cohomological invariant…

We produce first examples of p-local height three TAF homology theories. The corresponding one-dimensional formal groups arise as split summands of the formal groups of certain abelian three-folds, the Shimura variety of which can be…
