Let $M$ be a 1-connected closed manifold of dimension $m$ and $LM$ be the space of free loops on $M$. M.Chas and D.Sullivan defined a structure of BV-algebra on the singular homology of $LM$, $H_{*}(LM;k)$. When the ring of coefficients is a field of characteristic zero, we prove that there exists a BV-algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology $H{H}^{*}(C^{*}\left(M\right);C^{*}\left(M\right))$ which extends the canonical structure of Gerstenhaber algebra. We construct then an isomorphism of BV-algebras between $H{H}^{*}(C^{*}\left(M\right);C^{*}\left(M\right))$ and the shifted homology $H_{*+m}(LM;k)$. We also prove...

The relative cohomology ${\mathrm{H}}_{\mathrm{diff}}^1(𝕂\left(1\right|3),\mathrm{𝔬𝔰𝔭}(2,3);{𝒟}_{\lambda ,\mu }\left(S^{1|3}\right))$ of the contact Lie superalgebra $𝕂\left(1\right|3)$ with coefficients in the space of differential operators ${𝒟}_{\lambda ,\mu }\left(S^{1|3}\right)$ acting on tensor densities on $S^{1|3}$, is calculated in N. Ben Fraj, I. Laraied, S. Omri (2013) and the generating $1$-cocycles are expressed in terms of the infinitesimal super-Schwarzian derivative $1$-cocycle $s\left(X_f\right)=D_1{D}_2{D}_3\left(f\right){\alpha }_3^{1/2}$, $X_f\in 𝕂\left(1\right|3)$ which is invariant with respect to the conformal subsuperalgebra $\mathrm{𝔬𝔰𝔭}(2,3)$ of $𝕂\left(1\right|3)$. In this work we study the supergroup case. We give an explicit construction of $1$-cocycles...

We use known results on the characteristic rank of the canonical $4$–plane bundle over the oriented Grassmann manifold ${\tilde{G}}_{n,4}$ to compute the generators of the ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$–cohomology groups $H^j\left({\tilde{G}}_{n,4}\right)$ for $n=8,9,10,11$. Drawing from the similarities of these examples with the general description of the cohomology rings of ${\tilde{G}}_{n,3}$ we conjecture some predictions.

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring, and $I$ and $J$ be two ideals of $R$. Let $S$ be a Serre subcategory of the category of $R$-modules satisfying the condition $C_I$ and $M$ be a $ZD$-module. As a generalization of the $S$-$\mathrm{depth}(I,M)$ and $\mathrm{depth}(I,J,M)$, the $S$-$\mathrm{depth}$ of $(I,J)$ on $M$ is defined as $S$-$\mathrm{depth}(I,J,M)=inf\{S$-$\mathrm{depth}(𝔞,M):𝔞\in \tilde{\mathrm{W}}(I,J)\}$, and some properties of this concept are investigated. The relations between $S$-$\mathrm{depth}(I,J,M)$ and $H_{I,J}^i\left(M\right)$ are studied, and it is proved that $S$-$\mathrm{depth}(I,J,M)=inf\{i:H_{I,J}^i\left(M\right)\notin S\}$, where $S$ is a Serre subcategory closed under taking injective hulls. Some conditions are provided that local cohomology...

Let $(R,𝔪)$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring, $𝔞$ be an ideal of $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module such that $𝔞M\ne M$ and $\mathrm{cd}(𝔞,M)-\mathrm{grade}(𝔞,M)\le 1$, where $\mathrm{cd}(𝔞,M)$ is the cohomological dimension of $M$ with respect to $𝔞$ and $\mathrm{grade}(𝔞,M)$ is the $M$-grade of $𝔞$. Let $D(-):={\mathrm{Hom}}_R(-,E)$ be the Matlis dual functor, where $E:=E(R/𝔪)$ is the injective hull of the residue field $R/𝔪$. We show that there exists the following long exact sequence $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill 0⟶& H_{𝔞}^{n-2}\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^{n-1}\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶H_{𝔞}^n\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^n\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶D\left(M\right)\\ \hfill ⟶& H_{𝔞}^{n-1}\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^{n-1}\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶H_{𝔞}^{n+1}\left(D\left(H_{𝔞}^n\left(M\right)\right)\right)\\ \hfill ⟶& H_{𝔞}^n\left(D\left(H_{(x_1,...,x_{n-1})}^{n-1}\left(M\right)\right)\right)⟶H_{𝔞}^n\left(D\left(H_{(}^{n-1}M\right)\right))⟶...,\end{array}$$ where $n:=\mathrm{cd}(𝔞,M)$ is a non-negative integer, $x_1,...,x_{n-1}$ is a regular sequence in $𝔞$ on $M$ and, for an $R$-module $L$, $H_{𝔞}^i\left(L\right)$ is the $i$th local cohomology module...

For $\varphi$ a normalized positive definite function on a locally compact abelian group $G$, let ${\pi }_{\varphi }$ be the unitary representation associated to $\varphi$ by the GNS construction. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the vanishing of 1-cohomology $H^1(G,{\pi }_{\varphi })$ and reduced 1-cohomology ${\overline{H}}^1(G,{\pi }_{\varphi })$. For example, ${\overline{H}}^1(G,{\pi }_{\varphi })=0$ if and only if either $\text{Hom}(G,ℂ)=0$ or ${\mu }_{\varphi }\left(1_G\right)=0$, where $1_G$ is the trivial character of $G$ and ${\mu }_{\varphi }$ is the probability measure on the Pontryagin dual $\widehat{G}$ associated to $\varphi$ by Bochner’s Theorem. This streamlines an argument of Guichardet...

The class of loop spaces of which the mod $p$ cohomology is Noetherian is much larger than the class of $p$-compact groups (for which the mod $p$ cohomology is required to be finite). It contains Eilenberg–Mac Lane spaces such as $ℂP^{\infty }$ and 3-connected covers of compact Lie groups. We study the cohomology of the classifying space $BX$ of such an object and prove it is as small as expected, that is, comparable to that of $BℂP^{\infty }$. We also show that $B$X differs basically from the classifying space of a $p$-compact...

Let $G$ be a split semisimple linear algebraic group over a field and let $T$ be a split maximal torus of $G$. Let $𝗁$ be an oriented cohomology (algebraic cobordism, connective $K$-theory, Chow groups, Grothendieck’s $K_0$, etc.) with formal group law $F$. We construct a ring from $F$ and the characters of $T$, that we call a formal group ring, and we define a characteristic ring morphism $c$ from this formal group ring to $𝗁(G/B)$ where $G/B$ is the variety of Borel subgroups of $G$. Our main result says that when the...

Let $𝒳$ be a Banach space of dimension $n>1$ and $𝔄\subset ℬ\left(𝒳\right)$ be a standard operator algebra. In the present paper it is shown that if a mapping $d:𝔄\to 𝔄$ (not necessarily linear) satisfies $$d\left(\right[[U,V],W\left]\right)=\left[\right[d\left(U\right),V],W]+\left[\right[U,d\left(V\right)],W]+\left[\right[U,V],d(W\left)\right]$$ for all $U,V,W\in 𝔄$, then $d=\psi +\tau$, where $\psi$ is an additive derivation of $𝔄$ and $\tau :𝔄\to 𝔽I$ vanishes at second commutator $\left[\right[U,V],W]$ for all $U,V,W\in 𝔄$. Moreover, if $d$ is linear and satisfies the above relation, then there exists an operator $S\in 𝔄$ and a linear mapping $\tau$ from $𝔄$ into $𝔽I$ satisfying $\tau \left(\right[[U,V],W\left]\right)=0$ for all $U,V,W\in 𝔄$, such that $d\left(U\right)=SU-US+\tau \left(U\right)$ for all $U\in 𝔄$.

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$. Let $t\in {\mathbb{N}}_0$ be an integer and $M$ an $R$-module such that ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^i(R/I,M)$ is minimax for all $i\le t+1$. We prove that if $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is ${\mathrm{FD}}_{\le 1}$ (or weakly Laskerian) for all $i<t$, then the $R$-modules $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ are $I$-cominimax for all $i<t$ and ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^i(R/I,H_I^t\left(M\right))$ is minimax for $i=0,1$. Let $N$ be a finitely generated $R$-module. We prove that ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^j(N,H_I^i\left(M\right))$ and ${\mathrm{Tor}}_j^R(N,H_I^i\left(M\right))$ are $I$-cominimax for all $i$ and $j$ whenever $M$ is minimax and $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is ${\mathrm{FD}}_{\le 1}$ (or weakly Laskerian) for all $i$.

Let ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to d}$ be the following algorithmic problem: Given a finite simplicial complex $K$ of dimension at most $k$, does there exist a (piecewise linear) embedding of $K$ into ${ℝ}^d$? Known results easily imply polynomiality of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to 2}$ ($k=1,2$; the case $k=1,d=2$ is graph planarity) and of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to 2k}$ for all $k\ge 3$. We show that the celebrated result of Novikov on the algorithmic unsolvability of recognizing the 5-sphere implies that ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{d\to d}$ and ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{(d-1)\to d}$ are undecidable for each ${}_d\ge 5$. Our main result is NP-hardness of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{2\to 4}$ and, more generally, of ${\mathrm{𝙴𝙼𝙱𝙴𝙳}}_{k\to d}$ for all...

Let $D$ be a ${𝒞}^d$ $q$-convex intersection, $d\ge 2$, $0\le q\le n-1$, in a complex manifold $X$ of complex dimension $n$, $n\ge 2$, and let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle of rank $N$ over $X$. In this paper, ${𝒞}^k$-estimates, $k=2,3,\cdots ,\infty$, for solutions to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with small loss of smoothness are obtained for $E$-valued $(0,s)$-forms on $D$ when $n-q\le s\le n$. In addition, we solve the $\overline{\partial }$-equation with a support condition in ${𝒞}^k$-spaces. More precisely, we prove that for a $\overline{\partial }$-closed form $f$ in ${𝒞}_{0,q}^k(X\setminus D,E)$, $1\le q\le n-2$, $n\ge 3$, with compact support and for $\epsilon$ with $0<\epsilon <1$ there...

We give the characterization of the unit group of ${𝔽}_{q}SL(2,{\mathbb{Z}}_5)$, where ${𝔽}_q$ is a finite field with $q=p^k$ elements for prime $p>5,$ and $SL(2,{\mathbb{Z}}_5)$ denotes the special linear group of $2\times 2$ matrices having determinant $1$ over the cyclic group ${\mathbb{Z}}_5$.

Let ${\Phi }_1,...,{\Phi }_{k+1}$ (with $k\ge 1$) be vector fields of class $C^k$ in an open set $U{\subset }^{N+m}$, let $𝕄$ be a $N$-dimensional $C^k$ submanifold of $U$ and define $$𝕋:=\{z\in 𝕄:{\Phi }_1\left(z\right),...,{\Phi }_{k+1}\left(z\right)\in T_z𝕄\}$$ where $T_z𝕄$ is the tangent space to $𝕄$ at $z$. Then we expect the following property, which is obvious in the special case when $z_0$ is an interior point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$: If $z_0\in 𝕄$ is a $(N+k)$-density point (relative to $𝕄$) of $𝕋$ then all the iterated Lie brackets of order less or equal to $k$ $${\Phi }_{i_1}\left(z_0\right),[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}]\left(z_0\right),[[{\Phi }_{i_1},{\Phi }_{i_2}],{\Phi }_{i_3}]\left(z_0\right),...(h,i_h\le k+1)$$ belong to $T_{z_0}𝕄$. Such a property has been proved in [9] for $k=1$ and its proof in the...
