The abelianization of the Johnson kernel
We prove that the first complex homology of the Johnson subgroup of the Torelli group is a non-trivial, unipotent -module for all and give an explicit presentation of it as a -module when . We do this by proving that, for a finitely generated group satisfying an assumption close to formality, the triviality of the restricted characteristic variety implies that the first homology of its Johnson kernel is a nilpotent module over the corresponding Laurent polynomial ring, isomorphic to the...
The cyclic groups and the free loop space.
The cyclic homology of p-adic reductive groups.
The S1-CW decomposition of the geometric realization of a cyclic set
We show that the geometric realization of a cyclic set has a natural, -equivariant, cellular decomposition. As an application, we give another proof of a well-known isomorphism between cyclic homology of a cyclic space and -equivariant Borel homology of its geometric realization.

Topology of arrangements and position of singularities
This work contains an extended version of a course given in Arrangements in Pyrénées. School on hyperplane arrangements and related topics held at Pau (France) in June 2012. In the first part, we recall the computation of the fundamental group of the complement of a line arrangement. In the second part, we deal with characteristic varieties of line arrangements focusing on two aspects: the relationship with the position of the singular points (relative to projective curves of some prescribed degrees)...
