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…

In this essay we explore the notion of essential dimension using the theory of valuations of fields. Given a field extension K/k and a valuation on K that is trivial on k, we prove that the rank of the valuation cannot exceed the…

Let $P$ be a finite set of points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ or $\mathbb{C}^d$. We answer a question of Purdy on the conditions under which the number of hyperplanes spanned by $P$ is at least the number of $(d-2)$-flats spanned by $P$. In answering…

One of the important open problems in the theory of central simple algebras is to compute the essential dimension of $\operatorname{GL}_n/\mu_m$, i.e., the essential dimension of a generic division algebra of degree $n$ and exponent…

This paper determines the Brauer $p$-dimension Brd$_{p}(K)$ and the absolute Brauer $p$-dimension abrd$_{p}(K)$ of a Henselian valued field $(K, v)$, for a prime $p \neq {\rm char}(\widehat K)$, under restrictions on the residue field…

We compute the equivariant cohomology of complex projective spaces associated to finite-dimensional representations of $C_2$, using ordinary cohomology graded on representations of the fundamental groupoid, with coefficients in the Burnside…

We prove that the essential dimension of the spinor group Spin_n grows exponentially with n; in particular, we give a precise formula for this essential dimension when n is not divisible by 4. We use this result to show that the number of…

For $X$ a smooth, proper complex variety we show that for $p\gg 0$, the restriction of the mod $p$ cohomology $H^i(X,\mathbb{F}_p)$ to any Zariski open has dimension at least $h^{0,i}_X$. The proof uses the prismatic cohomology of…

We prove that the essential dimension of central simple algebras of degree $p^{\ell m}$ and exponent $p^m$ over fields $F$ containing a base-field $k$ of characteristic $p$ is at least $\ell+1$ when $k$ is perfect. We do this by observing…

The well-known theorem of Eilenberg and Ganea expresses the Lusternik - Schnirelmann category of an aspherical space as the cohomological dimension of its fundamental group. In this paper we study a similar problem of determining…

In this paper we develop the theory of essential dimension of group schemes over an integral base. Shortly we concentrate over a local base. As a consequence of our theory we give a result of invariance of the essential dimension over a…

We compute the cohomology with trivial coefficients of Lie algebras $\mathfrak{m}_0$ and $\mathfrak{m}_2$ of maximal class over the field $\mathbb{Z}_2$. In the infinite-dimensional case, we show that the cohomology rings…

The p-cohomology of an algebraic variety in characteristic p lies naturally in the category $D_{c}^{b}(R)$ of coherent complexes of graded modules over the Raynaud ring (Ekedahl-Illusie-Raynaud). We study homological algebra in this…

For an odd prime p the cohomology ring of an elementary abelian p-group is polynomial tensor exterior. We show that the ideal of essential classes is the Steenrod closure of the class generating the top exterior power. As a module over the…

The essential dimension is a numerical invariant of an algebraic group G which may be thought of as a measure of complexity of G-torsors over fields. A recent theorem of N. Karpenko and A. Merkurjev gives a simple formula for the essential…

We give a simple formula for the essential dimension of a finite pseudo-reflection group at a prime p and determine the absolute essential dimension for most irreducible pseudo-reflection groups. We also study the "poor man's essential…

Let k be a base field, K be a field containing k and L/K be a field extension of degree n. The essential dimension ed(L/K) over k is a numerical invariant measuring "the complexity" of L/K. Of particular interest is $\tau$(n) = max {…

Let $\Sigma_d$ denote the symmetric group of degree $d$ and let $K$ be a field of positive characteristic $p$. For $p>2$ we give an explicit description of the first cohomology group $H^1(\Sigma_d,{\rm{Sp}}(\lambda))$, of the Specht module…

We study the essential dimension of a finite group G over a field K. A generalization of the central extension theorem of Buhler and Reichstein (Compositio Math. 106 (1997) 159-179, Theorem 5.3) is obtained. We also get lower bounds of…

In this short note, we derive dimension formulas for spaces of Drinfeld cusp forms corresponding to harmonic cocycles invariant under the group $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_q[t])$ and with values in absolutely irreducible…
