We generalize some of the fundamental results of algebraic topology from topological spaces to \v{C}ech's closure spaces, also known as pretopological spaces. Using simplicial sets and cubical sets with connections, we define three distinct…

Graded skew-commutative rings occur often in practice. Here are two examples: 1) The cohomology ring of a compact three-dimensional manifold. 2) The cohomology ring of the complement of a hyperplane arrangement (the Orlik-Solomon algebra).…

A generalization of Wilson loop observables for BF theories in any dimension is introduced in the Batalin-Vilkovisky framework. The expectation values of these observables are cohomology classes of the space of imbeddings of a circle. One…

We compute the equivariant complex K-theory ring of a cohomogeneity-one action of a compact Lie group at the level of generators and relations and derive a characterization of K-theoretic equivariant formality for these actions. Less…

We establish Monod's isomorphism conjecture in degree-three bounded cohomology for every complex simple Lie group of classical type. Our main ingredient is a bounded-cohomological stability theorem with an optimal range in degree three that…

Let $\mathcal{N}_g$ be the mapping class group of a non-orientable closed surface. We prove that the proper cohomological dimension, the proper geometric dimension, and the virtual cohomological dimension of $\mathcal{N}_g$ are equal…

We prove equivariant versions of the Beilinson-Lichtenbaum conjecture for Bredon motivic cohomology of smooth complex and real varieties with an action of the group of order two. This identifies equivariant motivic and topological…

For any right-angled Coxeter group $\Gamma$ on $k$ generators, we construct proper actions of $\Gamma$ on $\mathrm{O}(p,q+1)$ by right and left multiplication, and on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{o}(p,q+1)$ by affine transformations, for some…

We compare the notions of essential dimension and stable cohomological dimension of a finite group G, prove that the latter is bounded by the length of any normal series with cyclic quotients for G, and show that, however, this bound is not…

We consider the moduli space of rank two, odd degree, semi-stable Real vector bundles over a real curve, calculating the singular cohomology ring in odd and zero characteristic for most examples.

In this paper we construct a model for the classifying space, BVCG, of a crystallographic group G of rank n relative to the family VC of virtually-cyclic subgroups of G. The model is used to show that there exists no other model for the…

For any finite group G, we construct a spectral sequence for computing the Bredon cohomology of a G-CW complex X, starting with the cohomology of X^H/\cup_{K>H}X^K with suitable local coefficients, for various H \leq G.

We prove that if $\Gamma$ is a lattice in the group of isometries of a symmetric space of non-compact type without euclidean factors, then the virtual cohomological dimension of $\Gamma$ equals its proper geometric dimension.

We construct a CW decomposition $C_n$ of the $n$-dimensional half cube in a manner compatible with its structure as a polytope. For each $3 \leq k \leq n$, the complex $C_n$ has a subcomplex $C_{n, k}$, which coincides with the clique…

By a well known theorem of K.S. Brown an action of a discrete group on a simply-connected complex allows to construct a presentation of this group modulo the stabilizers of vertices. The main goal of the present paper is to provide a new…

We introduce a novel type of stabilization map on the configuration spaces of a graph, which increases the number of particles occupying an edge. There is an induced action on homology by the polynomial ring generated by the set of edges,…

It is well-known that a minimal graph of codimension one is stable, i.e. the second variation of the area functional is non-negative. This is no longer true for higher codimensional minimal graphs. In this note, we prove that a minimal…

For a finite group $G$, we compute the algebraic $K$-theory of the category of equivariant sheaves on a locally compact Hausdorff $G$-space, generalizing a result of Efimov, and determine the equivariant $E$-theory of the $C^*$-algebra of…

We calculate the cohomology of the extended Morava stabilizer group of height $n$, with trivial mod $p$ coefficients, for all heights $n$ and all primes $p>>n$. The result is an exterior algebra on $n$ generators. A brief sketch of the…
