Let m,n ∈ ℕ. We define [Formula: see text] to be the set of (n+m)-braids of the sphere whose associated permutation lies in the subgroup Sn × Sm of the symmetric group Sn+m on n+m letters. In a previous paper [13], we showed that if n ≥ 3, then there exists the following generalisation of the Fadell–Neuwirth short exact sequence: [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] is the group homomorphism (defined for all n ∈ ℕ) given geometrically by forgetting the last m strings. In this paper we study the splitting of this short exact sequence, as well as the existence of a cross-section for the fibration [Formula: see text] of the quotients of the corresponding configuration spaces. Our main results are as follows: if n = 1 (respectively, n = 2) then the homomorphism p* and the fibration p admit (respectively, do not admit) a section. If n = 3, then p* and p admit a section if and only if m ≡ 0,2 (mod 3). If n ≥ 4, we show that if p* and p admit a section then m ≡ ε1(n - 1)(n - 2) - ε2n(n - 2) (mod n(n - 1)(n - 2)), where ε1,ε2 ∈ {0,1}. Finally, we show that [Formula: see text] is generated by two of its torsion elements.

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 purpose of this paper is to generalize the seven terms exact sequence given by Chase, Harrison and Rosenberg [8]. Our work was motivated by Kanzaki [16] and, of course, [8], [9]. The main theorem holds for any generalized crossed product, which is a more general one than that in Kanzaki [16]. In §1, we define a group P(A/B) for any ring extension A/B, and prove some preliminary exact sequences. In §2, we fix a group homomorphism J from a group G to the group of all invertible two-sided B-submodules of A.

AbstractWill J. Merry computed Rabinowitz Floer homology above Mañé's critical value in terms of loop space homology in [14] by establishing an Abbondandolo–Schwarz short exact sequence. The purpose of this paper is to provide an alternative proof of Merry's result. We construct a continuation homomorphism for symplectic deformations which enables us to reduce the computation to the untwisted case. Our construction takes advantage of a special version of the isoperimetric inequality which above Mañé's critical value holds true.

AbstractWe compare three different ways of defining group cohomology with coefficients in a crossed module: (1) explicit approach via cocycles; (2) geometric approach via gerbes; (3) group theoretic approach via butterflies. We discuss the case where the crossed module is braided and the case where the braiding is symmetric. We prove the functoriality of the cohomologies with respect to weak morphisms of crossed modules and also prove the ‘long’ exact cohomology sequence associated to a short exact sequence of crossed modules and weak morphisms.

Abstract The mapping class group $\Gamma ^k(N_g)$ of a non-orientable surface with punctures is studied via classical homotopy theory of configuration spaces. In particular, we obtain a non-orientable version of the Birman exact sequence. In the case of ${\mathbb{R}} \textrm{P}^2$, we analyze the Serre spectral sequence of a fiber bundle $F_k({\mathbb{R}}{\textrm{P}}^{2}) / \Sigma _k \to X_k \to BSO(3)$ where $X_k$ is a $K(\Gamma ^k({\mathbb{R}} \textrm{P}^2),1)$ and $F_k({\mathbb{R}}{\textrm{P}}^{2}) / \Sigma _k$ denotes the configuration space of unordered $k$-tuples of distinct points in ${\mathbb{R}} \textrm{P}^2$. As a consequence, we express the mod-2 cohomology of $\Gamma ^k({\mathbb{R}} \textrm{P}^2)$ in terms of that of $F_k({\mathbb{R}}{\textrm{P}}^{2}) / \Sigma _k$.

Various authors have obtained an eight term exact sequence in homologyfrom a short exact sequence of groups,the term V varying from author to author (see [7] and [2]; see also [5] for the simpler case where N is central in G, and [6] for the case where N is central and N ⊂ [G, G]). The most satisfying version of the sequence is obtained by Brown and Loday [2] (full details of [2] are in [3]) as a corollary to their van Kampen type theorem for squares of spaces: they give the term V as the kernel of a map G ∧ N → N from a “non-abelian exterior product” of G and N to the group N (the definition of G ∧ N, first published in [2], is recalled below). The two short exact sequencesandwhere F is free, together with the fact that H2(F) = 0 and H3(F) = 0, imply isomorphisms..The isomorphism (2) is essentially the description of H2(G) proved algebraically in [11]. As noted in [2], the isomorphism (3) is the analogue for H3(G) of the Hopf formula for H2(G).

AbstractLet X be an algebraic curve with a faithful action of a finite group G over a field k. We show that if the Hodge–de Rham short exact sequence of X splits G-equivariantly then the action of G on X is weakly ramified. In particular, this generalizes the result of Köck and Tait for hyperelliptic curves. We discuss also converse statements and tie this problem to lifting coverings of curves to the ring of Witt vectors of length 2.
