The cohomology ring of the Hilbert scheme of 3 points on a smooth projective variety.
In this paper, a finite dimensional algebraic completely integrable system is considered. We show that the intersection of levels of integrals completes into an abelian surface (a two dimensional complex algebraic torus) of polarization and that the flow of the system can be linearized on it.
The cohomology ring of a finite group, with coefficients in a finite field, can be computed by a machine, as Carlson has showed. Here “compute” means to find a presentation in terms of generators and relations, and involves only the underlying (graded) ring. We propose a method to determine some of the extra structure: namely, Stiefel-Whitney classes and Steenrod operations. The calculations are explicitly carried out for about one hundred groups (the results can be consulted on the Internet).Next,...
