In this work, we give a survey on non characteristic domains of Heisenberg groups. We prove that bounded domains which are diffeomorphic to the solid torus having the center of the group as rotation axis, are non characteristic. Then, we state the following conjecture : The bounded non characteristic domains of the Hei…

New Euler characteristic and Burnside group defined for definable groupoids.

New Euler characteristics for groupoids generalize orbifold Euler characteristics.

We compute the characteristic varieties and the Alexander polynomial of a finitely generated nilpotent group. We show that the first characteristic variety may be used to detect nilpotence. We use the Alexander polynomial to deduce that the only torsion-free, finitely generated nilpotent groups with positive deficiency…

This paper shows the reduced characteristic group of Lie LCP manifolds is simply connected.

We prove that the minimal Euler characteristic of a closed symplectic four-manifold with given fundamental group is often much larger than the minimal Euler characteristic of almost complex closed four-manifolds with the same fundamental group. In fact, the difference between the two is arbitrarily large for certain gr…

New framework for interpretable firm characteristics factors.

We introduce the $Γ$-Euler-Satake characteristics of a general orbifold $Q$ presented by an orbifold groupoid $\mathcal{G}$, generalizing to orbifolds that are not necessarily global quotients the generalized orbifold Euler characteristics of Bryan-Fulman and Tamanoi. Each of these Euler characteristics is defined as t…

New bounds on Euler characteristics for certain manifolds with finite groups.

We consider linear groups which do not contain unipotent elements of infinite order, which includes all linear groups in positive characteristic, and show that this class of groups has good properties which resemble those held by groups of non positive curvature and which do not hold for arbitrary characteristic zero l…

We show that the integral Euler characteristic of the outer automorphism group of the free group of rank 11 is -1202.

We determine the largest (i.e. smallest index) characteristic subgroup of surface groups not containing any simple loops.

The paper extends a theorem to number fields without infinite places.

A subset of a group is characteristic if it is invariant under every automorphism of the group. We study word length in fundamental groups of closed hyperbolic surfaces with respect to characteristic generating sets consisting of a finite union of orbits of the automorphism group, and show that the translation length o…

Integrability of mean curvature near degenerate points in Heisenberg group.

What are called secondary characteristic classes in Chern-Weil theory are a refinement of ordinary characteristic classes of principal bundles from cohomology to differential cohomology. We consider the problem of refining the construction of secondary characteristic classes from cohomology sets to cocycle spaces; and …

This paper describes the characteristic group of LCP structures and their construction.

New invariant $c_{sm}$ simplifies computing geometric invariants of recursive group orbits.

We assign to a finite $CW$-complex and an element in its first cohomology group a twisted version of the $L^2$-Euler characteristic and study its main properties. In the case of an irreducible orientable $3$-manifold with empty or toroidal boundary and infinite fundamental group we identify it with the Thurston norm. W…

The paper computes characteristic classes for Lie group representations.

Let $M^{r}$ be a connected orientable manifold with the Euler characteristic $χ(M)\not \equiv 0\operatorname{mod}6$. Denote by $\mathrm{SAut}(F_{n})$ the unique subgroup of index two in the automorphism group of a free group. Then any group action of $\mathrm{SAut}(F_{n})$ (and thus the special linear group $\mathrm{SL…

Study invariants of 3-manifold groups to determine Euler characteristics of 4-manifolds.

Paper characterizes foliated bundle classes via quasi-morphisms and studies their boundedness.

The present paper studies the structure of characteristic varieties of fundamental groups of graph manifolds. As a consequence, a simple proof of Papadima's question is provided on the characterization of algebraic links that have quasi-projective fundamental groups. The type of quasi-projective obstructions used here …

Two types of 4-manifolds disagree on minimum Euler characteristic.

We prove the vanishing of a certain characteristic class of flat vector bundles when the structure groups of the bundles are contained in GL(N,Z). We do so by explicitly writing the characteristic class as an exact form on the base of the bundle.

We show that J. Lott's equivariant higher analytic torsion for compact group actions depends only on the equivariant Euler characteristic.

Characteristic classes of oriented vector bundles can be identified with cohomology classes of the disjoint union of classifying spaces BSO_n of special orthogonal groups SO_n with n=0,1,... A characteristic class is stable if it extends to a cohomology class of a homotopy colimit BSO of classifying spaces BSO_n. Simil…

We classify those manifolds of positive euler characteristic on which a lie group G acts with cohomogeneity one, where G is classical simple

Making use of the extended flux homomorphism on the group of symplectomorphisms of a closed oriented surface of genus at least 2, we introduce new characteristic classes of foliated surface bundles with symplectic, equivalently area-preserving, total holonomy. These characteristic classes are stable with respect to the…

This note shows the compatibility of the differential geometric and the topological formulations of equivariant characteristic classes for a compact connected Lie group action.

For $Σ$ an orientable surface of finite topological type having genus at least 3 (possibly closed or possibly with any number of punctures or boundary components), we show that the mapping class group $Mod(Σ)$ has no faithful linear representation in any dimension over any field of positive characteristic.

The paper proves group actions on spheres with odd fixed points.

The paper corrects a previous work on manifold groups.

Based on a pair of cohomology operations on so called $δ-2$-formal spaces, we construct the integral cohomology rings of the classifying spaces of the Lie groups $Spin(n)$ and $Spin^{c}(n)$. As applications, we introduce characteristic classes for the reduced topological $K_{Spin}$ theory, determine the ring of integra…

We fully classify all Lagrangian submanifolds of a complex Grassmannian which are an orbit of a compact group of isometries and have positive Euler characteristic.

We present two results about the relationship between fundamental groups of quasiprojective manifolds and linear systems on a projectivization. We prove the existence of a plane curve with non-abelian fundamental group of the complement which does not admit a mapping onto an orbifold with non-abelian fundamental group.…

Algorithm calculates $L^2$-Euler characteristic for complex spaces.

We examine groups whose resonance varieties, characteristic varieties and Sigma-invariants have a natural arithmetic group symmetry, and we explore implications on various finiteness properties of subgroups. We compute resonance varieties, characteristic varieties and Alexander polynomials of Torelli groups, and we sho…

There are (at least) two different approaches to define equivariant analogue of the Euler charateristic for a space with a finite group action. The first one defines it as an element of the Burnside ring of the group. The second approach emerged from physics and includes the orbifold Euler characteristic and its higher…

Study non-vanishing $\ell^2$-Betti numbers for specific groups.

Using certain Thom spectra appearing in the study of cobordism categories, we show that the odd half of the Miller-Morita-Mumford classes on the mappping class group of a surface with negative Euler characteristic vanish in integral cohomology when restricted to the handlebody subgroup. This is a special case of a more…

This note provides a computation of the bordism groups of K-Witt spaces for fields K with characteristic 2. We provide a complete computation for the unoriented bordism groups. For the oriented bordism groups, a nearly complete computation is provided as well a discussion of the difficulty of resolving a remaining ambi…

Let $G$ be a Lie group and $G\to\Aut(G)$ be the canonical group homomorphism induced by the adjoint action of a group on itself. We give an explicit description of a 1-1 correspondence between Morita equivalence classes of, on the one hand, principal 2-group $[G\to\Aut(G)]$-bundles over Lie groupoids and, on the other …
