The difference between the quadratic L-groups L_*(A) and the symmetric L-groups L^*(A) of a ring with involution A is detected by generalized Arf invariants. The special case A=Z[x] gives a complete set of invariants for the Cappell…

There is considerable current interest in applications of generalised Lie algebras graded by an abelian group $\Gamma$ with a commutative factor $\omega$. This calls for a systematic development of the theory of such algebraic structures.…

For a given finite dimensional Hopf algebra $H$ we describe the set of all equivalence classes of cocycle deformations of $H$ as an affine variety, using methods of geometric invariant theory. We show how our results specialize to the…

Upsilon is a homomorphism on the smooth concordance group of knots defined by Ozsv\'{a}th, Stipsicz and Szab\'{o}. In this paper, we define a generalization of upsilon for a family of embedded graphs in rational homolog spheres. We show…

We extend the construction of upsilon-type invariants to null-homologous knots in rational homology three-spheres. By considering $m$-fold cyclic branched covers with $m$ a prime power, this extension provides new knot concordance…

Using the Rost invariant for non split simply connected groups, we define a relative degree $3$ cohomological invariant for pairs of orthogonal or unitary involutions having isomorphic Clifford or discriminant algebras. The main purpose of…

The first part of this paper completes the classification of Whitney towers in the 4-ball that was started in three related papers. We provide an algebraic framework allowing the computations of the graded groups associated to geometric…

An alternative construction, using Witt's formalism, of the Arf-invariant of quadratic forms in characteristic 2.

We provide a simple presentation by generators and relations of the ring of $\omega$-invariant symmetric functions over the field $\mathbb{F}_{2}$. Here, $\omega$ denotes the standard involution on the ring of symmetric functions,…

We define a noncommutative analogue of invariant de Rham cohomology. More precisely, for a triple $(A,\mathcal{H},M)$ consisting of a Hopf algebra $\mathcal{H}$, an $\mathcal{H}$-comodule algebra $A$, an $\mathcal{H}$-module $M$, and a…

The u-invariant of a field is the supremum of the dimensions of anisotropic quadratic forms over the field. We define corresponding u-invariants for hermitian and generalised quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution in…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $H \le G$ a subgroup, $R$ a commutative ring, $A$ an $R$-algebra, and $\alpha$ an action of $G$ on $A$ by $R$-algebra automorphisms. We study the associated \emph{skew Hecke algebra}…

We give a combinatorial model for r-spin surfaces with parametrised boundary based on Novak (2015). The r-spin structure is encoded in terms of $\mathbb{Z}_r$-valued indices assigned to the edges of a polygonal decomposition. This…

For several objects of interest in geometric complexity theory, namely for the determinant, the permanent, the product of variables, the power sum, the unit tensor, and the matrix multiplication tensor, we introduce and study a fundamental…

This paper is a generalization of a previous paper by the author to connected unipotent linear algebraic groups. The notion of an $ \alpha $-pair answers when an open $ G $-stable, affine, sub-variety $ D(H) $ is a trivial bundle over $ G…

This paper presents a generalisation of Sylvester's law of inertia to real non-degenerate quadratic forms on a fixed real vector bundle over a connected locally connected paracompact Hausdorff space. By interpreting the classical inertia as…

We recall the definition of the quadratic helicity invariant and of the higher asymptotic ergodic $M$-invariant. We present a simpler new proof (in part) that the $M$-invariant is ergodic. The $M$-invariant is a higher invariant, this means…

Let $G=\Dc_{n}$ be the dicyclic group of order $4n$. Let $\varphi$ be an automorphism of $G$ of order $k$. We describe $\varphi$ and the generalized symmetric space $Q$ of $G$ associated with $\varphi$. When $\varphi$ is an involution, we…

Suppose a residually finite group $G$ acts cocompactly on a contractible complex with strict fundamental domain $Q$, where the stabilizers are either trivial or have normal $\mathbb{Z}$-subgroups. Let $\partial Q$ be the subcomplex of $Q$…

Let $R$ be a ring with $char(R)\neq2$ whose unit group are denoted by $\mathcal{U}(R)$, $G$ a group, and $RG$ its group ring. Let $*$ be an involution in $G$, $\sigma:G\rightarrow\mathcal{U}(R)$ be a nontrivial group homomorphism, with…
