We give a survey on recent results on inequalities between the ranks of homotopy and cohomology groups (resp., graded components of mixed Hodge structures on these groups) of rationally elliptic spaces (resp., quasi-projective varieties…

For a subgroup $H$ of a reductive group $G$, let $\mathfrak m\subset \mathfrak g^*$ be the cotangent space of $eH\in G/H$. The linear action $(H:\mathfrak m)$ is the coisotropy representation. It is known that the complexity and rank of…

We deduce an index jump formula for first order elliptic complexes over end-periodic manifolds, which generalizes the corresponding result for the DeRham complex. In the case of the anti-self-dual DeRham complex, we define the periodic rho…

We define new topological invariants for Anosov representations and study them in detail for maximal representations of the fundamental group of a closed oriented surface into the symplectic group.

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the prime field of order $p$. Consider a $2$-dimensional orthogonal group $G$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ acting on the standard representation $V$ and the dual space $V^*$. We compute the invariant…

For certain classes of knots we define geometric invariants called higher-order genera. Each of these invariants is a refinement of the slice genus of a knot. We find lower bounds for the higher-order genera in terms of certain von Neumann…

In this paper we study the Roe index of the signature operator of manifolds of bounded geometry. Our main result is the proof of the uniform homotopy invariance of this index. In other words we show that, given an orientation-preserving…

We define relative Ruan invariants that count embedded connected symplectic submanifolds which contact a fixed stable symplectic hypersurface V in a symplectic 4-manifold (X,w) at prescribed points with prescribed contact orders (in…

The f-invariant is a higher version of the e-invariant that takes values in the divided congruences between modular forms; in the situation of a cartesian product of two framed manifolds, the f-invariant can actually be computed from the…

Building on the theory of elliptic operators, we give a unified treatment of the following topics: - the problem of homotopy invariance of Novikov's higher signatures on closed manifolds; - the problem of cut-and-paste invariance of…

Let p be a prime number. The Hasse invariant is a modular form modulo p that is often used to produce congruences between modular forms of different weights. We show how to produce such congruences between forms of weights 2 and p+1, in…

The purpose of this note is to provide a simple relation between the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev SO(3) invariant and the Hennings invariant of 3-manifolds associated to quantum sl_2.

We prove that the higher harmonic signature of an even dimensional oriented Riemannian foliation of a compact Riemannian manifold with coefficients in a leafwise U(p,q)-flat complex bundle is a leafwise homotopy invariant. We also prove the…

This paper establishes a relation between two invariants of $3$-dimensional manifolds: the chromatic spherical invariant $\mathcal{K}$ and the Hennings-Kauffman-Radford invariant $\operatorname{HKR}$. We show that, for a spherical Hopf…

We define a new topological invariant of line arrangements in the complex projective plane. This invariant is a root of unity defined under some combinatorial restrictions for arrangements endowed with some special torsion character on the…

The study of homological invariants such as Tor, Ext and local cohomology modules constitutes an important direction in commutative algebra. Explicit descriptions of these invariants are notoriously difficult to find and often involve…

We introduce new polynomial invariants of a finite-dimensional semisimple and cosemisimple Hopf algebra A over a field by using the braiding structures of A. We investigate basic properties of the polynomial invariants including stability…

We prove that the higher signature for any close oriented manifold is a simple-homotopy invariant.

The Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev invariants extend the Jones polynomials of links in S^3 to invariants of links in 3-manifolds. Similarly, in a preceding paper, the authors constructed two 3-manifold invariants N_r and N^0_r which extend the…

Results are obtained on extending flat vector bundles or equivalently general representations from the fundamental group of S, a connected subsurface of the connected boundary of a compact, connected, oriented 3-dimensional manifold, to the…
