We show this Chow ring is $\Z \oplus \Z$. We do this by partitioning the space into 2n subvarieties each of which is fibered over $Gl(2n-2,\C)/SO(2n-2,\C)$.

We record various properties of twisted Becker-Gottlieb transfer maps and study their multiplicative properties analogous to Becker-Gottlieb transfer. We show these twisted transfer maps factorise through Becker-Schultz-Mann-Miller-Miller…

In Part 1 of this paper we construct a spectral sequence converging to the relative Lie algebra cohomology associated to the action of any subgroup $G$ of the symplectic group on the polynomial Fock model of the Weil representation, see…

Let $G$ be a simply connected solvable Lie group with a lattice $\Gamma$ and $N$ the nilradical of $G$. For a complex valued representation $\rho: G\to GL(V_{\rho})$ such that the restriction $\rho_{|_{N}}$ is unipotent, as an advanced…

In this article we consider a space B_{com}G assembled from commuting elements in a Lie group G first defined in [Adem, Cohen, Torres-Giese 2012]. We describe homotopy-theoretic properties of these spaces using homotopy colimits, and their…

We calculate the ordinary $C_2$-cohomology, with Burnside ring coefficients, of $BU(2)$, the classifying space for $C_2$-equivariant complex 2-plane bundles, using an extended grading that allows us to capture a more natural set of…

We develop an algebro-analytic framework for the systematic study of the continuous bounded cohomology of Lie groups in large degree. As an application, we examine the continuous bounded cohomology of PSL(2,R) with trivial real coefficients…

Consider the space Hom(Z^n,G) of pairwise commuting n-tuples of elements in a compact Lie group G. This forms a real algebraic variety, which is generally singular. In this paper, we construct a desingularization of the generic component of…

In this paper, we first give a short account on the indecomposable sl(2,C) modules in the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand (BGG) category O. We show these modules naturally arise for homogeneous integrable nonlinear evolutionary systems. We then…

We study the singular cohomology of the moduli space of rank 2 parabolic bundles on a Riemann surface where the weights are all 1/4. We give a formula, based on work of Boden, for the Poincar\'e polynomial of this moduli space in general,…

Let $G:=SO(2n)$ be the even special orthogonal group over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $M_{2n}^+$ (resp. $M_{2n}^-$) be the space of symmetric (resp. skew-symmetric) complex matrices with respect to the usual transposition. We study the structure…

A $(G,n)$-complex is an $n$-dimensional CW-complex with fundamental group $G$ and whose universal cover is $(n-1)$-connected. If $G$ has periodic cohomology then, for appropriate $n$, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence…

We give a simple proof for the fact that algebra generators of the mod 2 cohomology of classifying spaces of exceptional Lie groups are given by Chern classes and Stiefel-Whitney classes of certain representations.

We establish a novel connection between the central binomial coefficients $\binom{2n}{n}$ and Gould's sequence through the construction of a specialized multivariate polynomial quotient ring. Our ring structure is characterized by ideals…

In the integral cohomology ring of the classifying space of the projective linear group $PGL_n$ (over $\mathbb{C}$), we find a collection of $p$-torsions $y_{p,k}$ of degree $2(p^{k+1}+1)$ for any odd prime divisor $p$ of $n$, and $k\geq…

Let $O$ be a closed Poisson conjugacy class of the complex algebraic Poisson group GL(n) relative to the Drinfeld-Jimbo factorizable classical r-matrix. Denote by $T$ the maximal torus of diagonal matrices in GL(n). With every $a\in O\cap…

Using the higher analytic torsion form of Bismut and Lott we construct a characteristic class for smooth sphere bundles. We calculate this class in the case where the sphere bundle comes from a complex vector bundle. Related to these…

We study the classifying space of a twisted loop group $L_{\sigma}G$ where $G$ is a compact Lie group and $\sigma$ is an automorphism of $G$ of finite order modulo inner automorphisms. Equivalently, we study the $\sigma$-twisted adjoint…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $V$ be a $G$-representation. We investigate the $RO(G)$-graded Bredon cohomology with constant integral coefficients of the space of ordered configurations in $V$. In the case that $V$ contains a trivial…

For the split group $G_{2}$ defined over $\mathbb{Z},$ we show that the de Rham cohomology ring of $B(G_{2})_{\mathbb{F}_{2}}$ is isomorphic to the singular cohomology ring with $\mathbb{F}_{2}$-coefficients of $B(G_{2})_{\mathbb{C}}.$ For…
