We extend the work of Ash and Stevens [Ash-Stevens 97] on p-adic analytic families of p-ordinary arithmetic cohomology classes for GL(N,Q) by introducing and investigating the concept of p-adic rigidity of arithmetic Hecke eigenclasses. An…

Group lattices (Cayley digraphs) of a discrete group are in natural correspondence with differential calculi on the group. On such a differential calculus geometric structures can be introduced following general recipes of noncommutative…

We look more closely at the higher nonabelian de Rham cohomology of a smooth projective variety or family of varieties that had been defined in some previous papers. We formalize using $n$-stacks the notion of shape underlying this…

We examine the topological characteristic cohomology classes of complexified vector bundles. In particular, all the classes coming from the real vector bundles underlying the complexification are determined.

The classification of algebraic vector bundles of rank 2 over smooth affine fourfolds is a notoriously difficult problem. Isomorphism classes of such vector bundles are not uniquely determined by their Chern classes, in contrast to the…

We prove a topological rigidity result for simple, thick, hyperbolic P-manifolds of dimension 2: isomorphism of the fundamental groups implies homeomorphism of the P-manifolds. An immediate application is a diagram rigidity theorem for…

In very rough terms, the main theorem is that the set, which consists of semistable vector bundles with trivial rational Chern classes and nontrivial kth cohomology on a smooth complex projective variety, is a degeneration of a union of…

In this paper, we define the cohomology of a modified Rota-Baxter Leibniz algebra with coefficients in a suitable representation. As applications of our cohomology, we study formal one-parameter deformations and abelian extensions of…

We define a morphism from the deformation complex of a Lie groupoid to the Hochschild complex of its convolution algebra, and show that it maps the class of a geometric deformation to the algebraic class of the induced deformation in…

In this paper, we study deformations of crossed homomorphisms on Lie groups by means of the cohomology which controls them. Using the Moser type argument, we obtain several rigidity results of crossed homomorphisms on Lie groups. We further…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{\Theta }=G/P_{\Theta }$ be a flag manifold associated to a non-compact real simple Lie group $G$ and the parabolic subgroup $% P_{\Theta }$. This is a closed subgroup of $G$ determined by a subset $% \Theta $ of simple…

When $X=\Gamma\backslash \H^n$ is a real hyperbolic manifold, it is already known that if the critical exponent is small enough then some cohomology spaces and some spaces of $L^2$ harmonic forms vanish. In this paper, we show rigidity…

Rota-Baxter operators have been paid much attention in the last few decades as they have many applications in mathematics and physics. In this paper, our object of study is modified Rota-Baxter operators on Leibniz algebras. We investigate…

In this note we consider a few interesting properties of discrete connections on principal bundles when the structure group of the bundle is an abelian Lie group. In particular, we show that the discrete connection form and its curvature…

We review Haefliger's differentiable cohomology for the pseudogroup of diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{R}^q$. We investigate the structure needed to define such a cohomology, which, remarkably, is related to the so called Cartan distribution…

We prove that Schubert and Richardson varieties in flag manifolds are uniquely determined by their equivariant cohomology classes, as well as a stronger result that replaces Schubert varieties with closures of Bialynicki-Birula cells under…

In this article, we give Maurer-Cartan characterizations of equivariant Lie superalgebra structures. We introduce equivariant cohomology and equivariant formal deformation theory of Lie superalgebras. As an application of equivariant…

For complex parallelisable manifolds $\Gamma\backslash G$, with $G$ a solvable or semisimple complex Lie group, the Fr\"olicher spectral sequence degenerates at the second page. In the solvable case, the de-Rham cohomology carries a pure…

In this article, we introduce a deformation cohomology of Leibniz superalgebras. Also, we introduce formal deformation theory of Leibniz superalgebras. Using deformation cohomology we study the formal deformation theory of Leibniz…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…
