We introduce a new notion of a periodic pencil of flat connections on a smooth algebraic variety $X$. This is a family $\nabla(s_1,...,s_n)$ of flat connections on a trivial vector bundle on $X$ depending linearly on parameters…

Let h^{*} be a multiplicative cohomology theory, h_{*} its dual homology theory and \hat{h}^{*} a differential refinement. We first construct the natural pairing between h_{*} and the flat part of \hat{h}^{*}, generalizing the holonomy of a…

We study the structure underlying Ng's conjecture, which relates the degree $0$ abelian knot contact homology of a knot $K$ to the coordinate ring of the $SL_2(\mathbf{C})$-character variety $X(\Sigma_2 K)$ of the $2$-fold branched cover of…

We investigate restricted Lie algebras arising as analogues of (twisted) right-angled Artin groups and right-angled Coxeter groups over fields of characteristic two. These algebras are defined via quadratic relations determined by decorated…

The main goal of this paper is to develop the structure theory of Hom-Lie superalgebras in characteristic 2. We discuss their representations, semidirect product, $\alpha^k$-derivations and provide a classification in low dimension. We…

Motivated by the work of Esnault-Hai, one has the notion of de Rham $K(\pi,1)$ schemes, defined as follows. Given a smooth proper geometrically connected scheme $X$ over a field $k$ of characteristic 0 and a base point $x \in X (k)$, one…

We develop the theory of linear algebra over a (Z_2)^n-commutative algebra (n in N), which includes the well-known super linear algebra as a special case (n=1). Examples of such graded-commutative algebras are the Clifford algebras, in…

We discuss a version of the Chevalley--Eilenberg cohomology in characteristic $2$, where the alternating cochains are replaced by symmetric ones.

Let G be a connected reductive affine algebraic group. In this short note we define the "variety of G-characters" of a finitely generated group F and show that the quotient of the G-character variety of F by the action of the trace…

We prove that holomorphic normal projective connections on compact complex surfaces are flat. We show that a holomorphic torsion-free affine connection $\nabla$ on a compact complex surface is locally modelled on a translations-invariant…

The deep interconnection between linear algebra and graph theory allows one to interpret classical matrix invariants through combinatorial structures. To each square matrix A over a commutative ring K, one can associate a weighted directed…

Let $M$ be a closed connected smooth manifold and $G=\textmd{Diff}_0(M)$ denote the connected component of the diffeomorphism group of $M$ containing the identity. The natural action of $G$ on $M$ induces the trace homomorphism on homology.…

We prove that the vanishing of the functoriality morphism for the \'etale fundamental group between smooth projective varieties over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ forces the same property for the fundamental groups…

This note presents a general theorem about the cohomology of finite dimensional Lie algebras of arbitrary characteristic. As an application we compute the cohomology of the Borel subalgebra of sl(N).

In previous work, we established a duality between the algebraic de Rham cohomology of a flat algebraic connection on a smooth quasi-projective surface over the complex numbers and the rapid decay homology of the dual connection relying on…

We study a trace formula for tamely ramified abelian varieties $A$ over a complete discretely valued field, which expresses the Euler characteristic of the special fiber of the N\'eron model of $A$ in terms of the Galois action on the…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $S$ be a smooth projective variety over $k$ and let $p_S:X\rightarrow S$ be a family of smooth projective curves over $S$. Let $E$ be a vector bundle over $X$. For $s\in…

Two automorphisms of a simple stable AF algebra with a finite dimensional lattice of lower semicontinuous traces are shown to be outer conjugate if they act in the same way on the K-group and the extremal traces are scaled by numbers which…

Let $X/S$ be a smooth family of smooth projective varieties, where $S$ is a smooth affine curve over a field $k$ of characteristic $0.$ We relate the differential fundamental groupoid scheme of $X/k$ with the differential fundamental…
