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...

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 $R$ 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...

Let $X\subset {\mathbb{P}}^n$ be an integral and non-degenerate $m$-dimensional variety defined over $ℝ$. For any $P\in {\mathbb{P}}^n\left(ℝ\right)$ the real $X$-rank $r_{X,ℝ}\left(P\right)$ is the minimal cardinality of $S\subset X\left(ℝ\right)$ such that $P\in \langle S\rangle$. Here we extend to the real case an upper bound for the $X$-rank due to Landsberg and Teitler.

Let $𝔞$, $I$, $J$ be ideals of a Noetherian local ring $(R,𝔪,k)$. Let $M$ and $N$ be finitely generated $R$-modules. We give a generalized version of the Duality Theorem for Cohen-Macaulay rings using local cohomology defined by a pair of ideals. We study the behavior of the endomorphism rings of $H_{I,J}^t\left(M\right)$ and $D\left(H_{I,J}^t\left(M\right)\right)$, where $t$ is the smallest integer such that the local cohomology with respect to a pair of ideals is nonzero and $D(-):={\mathrm{Hom}}_R(-,E_R\left(k\right))$ is the Matlis dual functor. We show that if $R$ is a $d$-dimensional complete Cohen-Macaulay...

We estimate the characteristic rank of the canonical $k$–plane bundle over the oriented Grassmann manifold ${\tilde{G}}_{n,k}$. We then use it to compute uniform upper bounds for the ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$–cup-length of ${\tilde{G}}_{n,k}$ for $n$ belonging to certain intervals.

Let $M$ be an $m$-dimensional manifold and $A={𝔻}_k^r/I=ℝ\oplus N_A$ a Weil algebra of height $r$. We prove that any $A$-covelocity $T_x^{A}f\in T_x^{A*}M$, $x\in M$ is determined by its values over arbitrary $max\{\mathrm{width}A,m\}$ regular and under the first jet projection linearly independent elements of $T_x^{A}M$. Further, we prove the rigidity of the so-called universally reparametrizable Weil algebras. Applying essentially those partial results we give the proof of the general rigidity result $T^{A*}M\simeq T^{r*}M$ without coordinate computations, which improves and generalizes the partial...

In this work we compute the Chen–Ruan cohomology of the moduli spaces of smooth and stable $n$-pointed curves of genus $1$. In the first part of the paper we study and describe stack theoretically the twisted sectors of ${ℳ}_{1,n}$ and ${\overline{ℳ}}_{1,n}$. In the second part, we study the orbifold intersection theory of ${\overline{ℳ}}_{1,n}$. We suggest a definition for an orbifold tautological ring in genus $1$, which is a subring of both the Chen–Ruan cohomology and of the stringy Chow ring.

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...

Let $M$ be any compact simply-connected oriented $d$-dimensional smooth manifold and let $𝔽$ be any field. We show that the Gerstenhaber algebra structure on the Hochschild cohomology on the singular cochains of $M$, $H{H}^{*}(S^{*}\left(M\right),S^{*}\left(M\right))$, extends to a Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra. Such Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra was conjectured to exist and is expected to be isomorphic to the Batalin-Vilkovisky algebra on the free loop space homology on $M$, $H_{*+d}\left(LM\right)$ introduced by Chas and Sullivan. We also show that the negative cyclic...

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...

We describe all ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $D:Q_{proj-proj}^{\tau }⇝Q{T}^{*}$ transforming projectable-projectable classical torsion-free linear connections $\nabla$ on fibred-fibred manifolds $Y$ into classical linear connections $D\left(\nabla \right)$ on cotangent bundles $T^{*}Y$ of $Y$. We show that this problem can be reduced to finding ${ℱ}^2{ℳ}_{m_1,m_2,n_1,n_2}$-natural operators $D:Q_{proj-proj}^{\tau }⇝(T^{*},{\otimes }^p{T}^{*}\otimes {\otimes }^{q}T)$ for $p=2$, $q=1$ and $p=3$, $q=0$.

Let ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ be the $i$-th ordered configuration space of all distinct points $H_1,...,H_h$ in the Grassmannian $Gr(k,n)$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of ${ℂ}^n$, whose sum is a subspace of dimension $i$. We prove that ${ℱ}_h^i(k,n)$ is (when non empty) a complex submanifold of $Gr{(k,n)}^h$ of dimension $i(n-i)+hk(i-k)$ and its fundamental group is trivial if $i=min(n,hk)$, $hk\ne n$ and $n\&gt;2$ and equal to the braid group of the sphere $ℂ$ $P^1$ if $n=2$. Eventually we compute the fundamental group in the special case of hyperplane arrangements, i.e. $k=n-1$.
