We derive general Novikov-Morse type inequalities in a Conley type framework for flows carrying cocycles, therefore generalizing our results in [FJ2] derived for integral cocycle. The condition of carrying a cocycle expresses the nontriviality of integrals of that cocycle on flow lines. Gradient-like flows are distingu…

Refines equivariant integral cohomology using Cartan cocycles.
Paper calculates indices for group actions using cocycles.
In this note we prove that for any finite quandle and any 2-cocycle $φ\in Z^2_{Q\pm}(X; \mathds{Z})$, the cocycle invariant is trivial for all knots .
Defines a new knot integral related to Vassiliev invariants.
The paper studies metrics on Lie groups SO(2) and SO(3) and their integrability.
From the four normed division algebras--the real numbers, complex numbers, quaternions and octonions, of dimension k=1, 2, 4 and 8, respectively--a systematic procedure gives a 3-cocycle on the Poincare superalgebra in dimensions k+2=3, 4, 6 and 10, and a 4-cocycle on the Poincare superalgebra in dimensions k+3=4, 5, 7…
New Vassiliev invariant of order three derived from Fox-Hatcher cycles.
The paper constructs non-trivial cocycles for long embeddings with more than one loop.
Geometrically constructs central extensions of Poisson Lie algebra.
Associated to a differential character is an integral cohomology class, referred to as the characteristic class, and a closed differential form, referred to as the curvature. The characteristic class and curvature are equal in de Rham cohomology, and this is encoded in a commutative square. In the Hopkins--Singer model…
We present a geometric construction of central extensions of covering groups of the group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms, integrating central extensions of the Lie algebra of divergence free vector fields defined by Lichnerowicz cocycles. Certain covering spaces of non-linear Grassmannians can be realized as preq…
We study the relationship between trivial cocycles on the Torelli group and invariants of oriented integral homology 3-spheres. We give ncecessary and sufficient conditions for a function defined on the union of the Torelli groups to be an invariant of homology spheres. We apply this study to give a new purely algebrai…
Quantum field theory methods yield a physical interpretation of elliptic cohomology.
In this paper we show that via the configuration space integral construction a non-trivalent graph cocycle can also yield a non-zero cohomology class of the space of higher (and even) codimensional long knots. This simultaneously proves that the Browder operation induced by the operad action defined by R. Budney is not…
Constructs integer-valued cohomology classes from graph cocycles.
Lie's Third Theorem, asserting that each finite-dimensional Lie algebra is the Lie algebra of a Lie group, fails in infinite dimensions. The modern account on this phenomenon is the integration problem for central extensions of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, which in turn is phrased in terms of an integration proce…
Given a n-dimensional lamination endowed with a Riemannian metric, we introduce the notion of a multiplicative cocycle of rank d, where n and d are arbitrary positive integers. The holonomy cocycle of a foliation and its exterior powers as well as its tensor powers provide examples of multiplicative cocycles. Next, we …
We study the holonomy cocycle H of a holomorphic foliation \Fc by Riemann surfaces defined on a compact complex projective surface X satisfying the following two conditions: 1) its singularities E are all hyperbolic; 2) there is no holomorphic non-constant map \C\to X such that out of E the image of \C is locally conta…
A new geometric cocycle measures mass of hyperbolic manifolds.
Recent work applying higher gauge theory to the superstring has indicated the presence of `higher symmetry'. Infinitesimally, this is realized by a `Lie 2-superalgebra' extending the Poincare superalgebra in precisely the dimensions where the classical supersymmetric string makes sense: 3, 4, 6 and 10. In the previous …

Holomorphic functions from knot complements link to quantum modular forms.
New theory defines invariants for framed 3-manifolds using trivalent graphs with self-loops.
We show how the fundamental cocycles on current Lie algebras and the Lie algebra of symmetries for the sigma model are obtained via the current algebra functors. We present current group extensions integrating some of these current Lie algebra extensions.
In this paper we study perturbations of constant cocycles for actions of higher rank semi-simple algebraic groups and their lattices. Roughly speaking, for ergodic actions, Zimmer's cocycle superrigidity theorems implies that the perturbed cocycle is measurably conjugate to a constant cocycle modulo a compact valued co…
Extends Borel invariant to measurable cocycles of 3-manifold groups.
Study projective derivative cocycles for circle diffeomorphisms.
T. Mochizuki determined all 3-cocycles of the third quandle cohomologies of Alexander quandles on finite fields. We show that all the 3-cocycles, except those of 2-cocycle forms, are derived from group 3-cocycles of a meta-abelian group. Further, the quandle cocycle invariant of a link using Mochizuki's 3-cocycle is eq…
We describe natural abelian extensions of the Lie algebra $\aut(P)$ of infinitesimal automorphisms of a principal bundle over a compact manifold and discuss their integrability to corresponding Lie group extensions. Already the case of a trivial bundle is quite interesting. In this case, we show th…
New graph-based invariants from quandle cocycles.
Virtual index cocycles reformulate virtual link invariants.
We give a construction of quandle cocycles from group cocycles, especially, for any integer p \geq 3, quandle cocycles of the dihedral quandle R_p from group cocycles of the cyclic group Z/p. We will show that a group 3-cocycle of Z/p gives rise to a non-trivial quandle 3-cocycle of R_p. When p is an odd prime, since d…

Researchers compute a residue cocycle for Dirac-type operators using modified Getzler calculus.
We extend the Yang-Baxter cocycle invariants for virtual knots by augmenting Yang-Baxter 2-cocycles with cocycles from a cohomology theory associated to a virtual biquandle structure. These invariants coincide with the classical Yang-Baxter cocycle invariants for classical knots but provide extra information about virt…
New algebraic rules for 5D shapes based on 3D cocycles.
We consider cocycles of isometries on spaces of nonpositive curvature . We show that the supremum of the drift over all invariant ergodic probability measures equals the infimum of the displacements of continuous sections under the cocycle dynamics. In particular, if a cocycle has uniform sublinear drift, then there…
The theory of quandle (co)homology and cocycle knot invariants is rapidly being developed. We begin with a summary of these recent advances. One such advance is the notion of a dynamical cocycle. We show how dynamical cocycles can be used to color knotted surfaces that are obtained from classical knots by twist-spinnin…
