For any topological space X and integer n ≥ 1, denote by Cn(X) the configuration spaceThe symmetric group Sn acts by permuting coordinates on Cn(X) and we are concerned in this note with the induced graded representation of Sn on the cohomology space H*(Cn(X)) = ⊕iHi (Cn(X), ℂ), where Hi denotes (singular or de Rham) cohomology. When X = ℂ, Cn(X) is a K(π, 1) space, where π is the n-string pure braid group (cf. [3]). The corresponding representation of Sn in this case was determined in [5], using the fact that Cn(C) is a hyperplane complement and a presentation of its cohomology ring appears in [1] and in a more general setting, in [8] (see also [2]).

AbstractThe symmetric group 𝓢n acts on the power set 𝓟(n) and also on the set of square free polynomials in n variables. These two related representations are analyzed from the stability point of view. An application is given for the action of the symmetric group on the cohomology of the pure braid group.

The group of planar (or flat) pure braids on [Formula: see text] strands, also known as the pure twin group, is the fundamental group of the configuration space [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] labeled points in [Formula: see text] no three of which coincide. The planar pure braid groups on 3, 4 and 5 strands are free. In this note, we describe the planar pure braid group on 6 strands: it is a free product of the free group on 71 generators and 20 copies of the free abelian group of rank two.

We investigate the space [Formula: see text] of images of linearly embedded finite simplicial complexes in [Formula: see text] isomorphic to a given complex [Formula: see text], focusing on two special cases: [Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]-skeleton [Formula: see text] of an [Formula: see text]-simplex, and [Formula: see text] is the [Formula: see text]-skeleton [Formula: see text] of an [Formula: see text]-simplex, so [Formula: see text] has codimension 2 in [Formula: see text], in both cases. The main result is that for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] (for either [Formula: see text]) deformation retracts to a subspace homeomorphic to the double mapping cylinder [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the alternating group and [Formula: see text] the symmetric group. The resulting fundamental group provides an example of a generalization of the braid group, which is the fundamental group of the configuration space of points in the plane.

The inverse problem of the Calculus of Variations for Lagrangians and Euler–Lagrange equations invariant under a pseudogroup [Formula: see text] of local transformations of the base manifold is considered. Exploiting some ideas of Krupka, a theorem is proved showing that, if the configuration space consists of sections of tensor bundles or of local maps of a manifold into another, then such inverse problem is solvable whenever a certain cohomology class of [Formula: see text]-invariant forms on the configuration space is vanishing. In addition, for a few pseudogroups, the cohomology groups considered in the main result are explicitly determined in terms of the de Rham cohomology of the configuration space.

De Rham cohomology it is very obvious that it relies heavily on both topology as well as analysis. We can say it creates a natural bridge between the two. To understand and be able to explain what exactly de Rham cohomology is to the world of mathematics we need to know de Rham groups. This is the reasons to calculate the de Rham cohomology of a manifold. This is usually quite difficult to do directly. We work with manifold. Manifold is a generalization of curves and surfaces to arbitrary dimension. A topological space M is called a manifold of dimension k if : · M is a topological Hausdorff space . · M has a countable topological base. · For all m∈M there is an open neighborhood U⊂M such that U is homeomorphic to an open subset V of ℝk. There are many different kinds of manifolds like topological manifolds, ℂk - manifolds, analytic manifolds, and complex manifolds, we concerned in smooth manifolds. A smooth manifold can described as a topological space that is locally like the Euclidian space of a dimension known. An important definion is homeomorphism. Let X, Y be topological spaces, and let f: X⟶Y e a bijection. If both f and the inverse function f−1: X⟶Y are continuous, then f is called a homeomorphism We introduce one of the useful tools for this calculating, the Mayer – Vietoris sequence. Another tool is the homotopy axiom. In this material I try to explain the Mayer – Vietoris sequence and give same examples. A short exact sequence of cochain complexes gives rise to a long exact sequence in cohomology, called the Mayer - Vietories sequence. Cohomology of the circle (S^1), cohomology of the spheres (S^2). Homeomorphism between vector spaces and an open cover of a manifold. we define de Rham cohomology and compute a few examples.

We establish that the intrinsic distance dE associated with an indecomposable plane set E of finite perimeter is infinitesimally Euclidean; namely, in E. By this result, we prove through a standard argument that a conservative vector field in a plane set of finite perimeter has a potential. We also provide some applications to complex analysis. Moreover, we present a collection of results that would seem to suggest the possibility of developing a De Rham cohomology theory for integral currents.

Abstract Building upon work of Epstein, May and Drury, we define and investigate the mod p Steenrod operations on the de Rham cohomology of smooth algebraic stacks over a field of characteristic $p>0$ . We then compute the action of the operations on the de Rham cohomology of classifying stacks for finite groups, connected reductive groups for which p is not a torsion prime and (special) orthogonal groups when $p=2$ .
