A bound on the exponent of the cohomology of BC-bundles
We give a lower bound for the exponent of certain elements in the integral cohomology of the total spaces of principal BC-bundles for C a finite cyclic group. As applications we give a proof of the theorem of A. Adem and H.-W. Henn that a p-group is elementary abelian if and only if its integral cohomology has exponent p, and we exhibit some infinite groups of finite virtual cohomological dimension whose Tate-Farrell cohomology contains torsion of order greater than the l.c.m. of the orders of their finite subgroups. We also give an upper bound for the exponent of all but finitely many of the …

p-local finite group cohomology
We study cohomology for $p$-local finite groups with non-constant coefficient systems. In particular we show that under certain restrictions there exists a cohomology transfer map in this context, and deduce the standard consequences.

Bredon cohomology of finite dimensional $C_p$-spaces
For finite dimensional free $C_p$-spaces, the calculation of the Bredon cohomology ring as an algebra over the cohomology of $S^0$ is used to prove the non-existence of certain $C_p$-maps. These are related to Borsuk-Ulam type theorems, and equivariant maps related to the topological Tverberg conjecture. For certain finite dimensional $C_p$-spaces which are formed out of representations, it is proved that the cohomology is a free module over the cohomology of a point. All the calculations are done for the cohomology with constant coefficients $\mathbb{Z}/p$.

The etale cohomology of the general linear group over a finite field and the Deligne and Lusztig variety
Let $p\not =\ell$ be primes. We study the etale cohomology $H^{*}_{et}(BGL_n(\bF_{p^s});\bZ/{\ell})$ over the algebraically closed field $\bar \bF_p$ by using the stratification methods from Molina-Vistoli. To compute this cohomology, we use the Delinge-Lusztig variety.

Cohomology of finite monogenic self-distributive structures
A shelf is a set with a binary operation~$\op$ satisfying $a \op (b \op c) = (a \op b) \op (a \op c)$. Racks are shelves with invertible translations $b \mapsto a \op b$; many of their aspects, including cohomological, are better understood than those of general shelves. Finite monogenic shelves (FMS), of which Laver tables and cyclic racks are the most famous examples, form a remarkably rich family of structures and play an important role in set theory. We compute the cohomology of FMS with arbitrary coefficients. On the way we develop general tools for studying the cohomology of shelves. Mor…

On a Conjecture of Mahowald on the Cohomology of Finite Sub-Hopf algebras of the Steenrod Algebra
Mahowald's conjecture arose as part of a program attempting to view chromatic phenomena in stable homotopy theory through the lens of the classical Adams spectral sequence. The conjecture predicts the existence of nonzero classes in the cohomology of the finite sub-Hopf algebras $A(n)$ of the mod 2 Steenrod algebra that correspond to generators in the homotopy rings of certain periodic spectra. The purpose of this note is to present a proof of the conjecture.

Exponents of Zero divisors in the Cohomology ring of a finite group
It is well known that the positive degree cohomology of a finite group G is annihilated by |G|. We improve on this bound in the case of odd degree elements in the integer cohomology ring and show that $e_{odd}(G)$, the exponent of the $\oplus_{k=0}^{\infty} H^{2k+1}(G,\mathbb{Z})$ satisfies $e_{odd}(G)^2$ divides 2|G| and in particular $e_{odd}(G) \leq \sqrt{2|G|}.$ We also provide examples to show this bound for $e_{odd}(G)$ is sharp as a general bound over all finite groups G. The result comes from a fact about zero divisors having "complementary exponent" which we prove using duality in Tat…

On the Product in Negative Tate Cohomology for Finite Groups
Our aim in this paper is to give a geometric description of the cup product in negative degrees of Tate cohomology of a finite group with integral coefficients. By duality it corresponds to a product in the integral homology of $BG$: {\[H_{n}(BG,\mathbb{Z})\otimes H_{m}(BG,\mathbb{Z})\rightarrow H_{n+m+1}(BG,\mathbb{Z})\]} for $n,m>0$. We describe this product as join of cycles, which explains the shift in dimensions. Our motivation came from the product defined by Kreck using stratifold homology. We then prove that for finite groups the cup product in negative Tate cohomology and the Kreck pr…

The cohomology of exotic 2-local finite groups
There exist spaces BSol(q) which are the classifying spaces of a family of 2-local finite groups based on certain fusion system over the Sylow 2-subgroups of Spin_7(q). In this paper we calculate the cohomology of BSol(q) as an algebra over the Steenrod algebra A_2. We also provide the calculation of the cohomology algebra over A_2 of the finite group of Lie type G_2(q).

Some cohomology of finite general linear groups
We prove that the degree $r(2p-3)$ cohomology of any (untwisted) finite group of Lie type over $\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$, with coefficients in characteristic $p$, is nonzero as long as its Coxeter number is at most $p$. We do this by providing a simple explicit construction of a nonzero element. Furthermore, for the groups $GL_n\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$, when $p=2$ or $r=1$, we calculate the cohomology in degree $r(2p-3)$, for all $n$.

On cohomology of quasitoric manifolds over a vertex cut of a finite product of simplices
In this paper, we classify the characteristic matrices associated to quasitoric manifolds over a vertex cut of a finite product of simplices. We discuss the integral cohomology rings of these quasitoric manifolds with possibly minimal generators and show several relations among the product of these generators. We classify integral cohomology rings (up to isomorphism as graded rings) of the quasitoric manifolds over the vertex cut of a finite product of simplices.

Isogenies of supersingular elliptic curves over finite fields and operations in elliptic cohomology
We investigate stable operations in supersingular elliptic cohomology using isogenies of supersingular elliptic curves over finite fields. Our main results provide a framework in which we give a conceptually simple proof of an elliptic cohomology version of the Morava change of rings theorem and also gives models for explicit stable operations in terms of isogenies and morphisms in certain enlarged isogeny categories. We relate our work to that of G. Robert on the Hecke algebra structure of the ring of supersingular modular forms.

O-minimal cohomology: finiteness and invariance results
We prove that the cohomology groups of a definably compact set over an o-minimal expansion of a group are finitely generated and invariant under elementary extensions and expansions of the language. We also study the cohomology of the intersection of a definable decreas-ing family of definably compact sets, under the additional assumption that the o-minimal structure expands a field.

Coarse sheaf cohomology
A certain Grothendieck topology assigned to a metric space gives rise to a sheaf cohomology theory which sees the coarse structure of the space. Already constant coefficients produce interesting cohomology groups. In degree 0 they see the number of ends of the space. In this paper a resolution of the constant sheaf via cochains is developed. It serves to be a valuable tool for computing cohomology. In addition coarse homotopy invariance of coarse cohomology with constant coefficients is established. This property can be used to compute cohomology of Riemannian manifolds. The Higson corona of a…

Dyer-Lashof operations on Tate cohomology of finite groups
Let k be the field with p>0 elements, and let G be a finite group. By exhibiting an E-infinity-operad action on Hom(P,k) for a complete projective resolution P of the trivial kG-module k, we obtain power operations of Dyer-Lashof type on Tate cohomology H*(G; k). Our operations agree with the usual Steenrod operations on ordinary cohomology. We show that they are compatible (in a suitable sense) with products of groups, and (in certain cases) with the Evens norm map. These theorems provide tools for explicit computations of the operations for small groups G. We also show that the operations in…

Remarks on the cohomology of finite fundamental groups of 3-manifolds
Computations based on explicit 4-periodic resolutions are given for the cohomology of the finite groups G known to act freely on S^3, as well as the cohomology rings of the associated 3-manifolds (spherical space forms) M = S^3/G. Chain approximations to the diagonal are constructed, and explicit contracting homotopies also constructed for the cases G is a generalized quaternion group, the binary tetrahedral group, or the binary octahedral group. Some applications are briefly discussed.
