Lannes' t functor on injective unstable modules and harish-chandra restriction

In the 1980's, the magic properties of the cohomology of elementary abelian groups as modules over the Steenrod algebra initiated a long lasting interaction between topology and modular representation theory in natural characteristic. The Adams-Gunawardena-Miller theorem in particular, showed that their decomposition is governed by the modular representations of the semi-groups of square matrices. Applying Lannes' T functor on the summands L P := Hom Mn(Fp) (P, H * (F p) n) defines an intriguing construction in representation theory. We show that T(L P) $\sim$ = L P $\oplus$ H * V 1 $\otimes$ L $δ$(P) , defining a functor $δ$ from F p [M n (F p)]-projectives to F p [M n--1 (F p)]-projectives. We relate this new functor $δ$ to classical constructions in the representation theory of the general linear groups.

Spaces with Noetherian cohomology

Is the cohomology of the classifying space of a p-compact group, with Noetherian twisted coefficients, a Noetherian module? This note provides, over the ring of p-adic integers, such a generalization to p-compact groups of the Evens-Venkov Theorem. We consider the cohomology of a space with coefficients in a module, and we compare Noetherianity over the field with p elements, with Noetherianity over the p-adic integers, in the case when the fundamental group is a finite p-group.

Power reductivity over an arbitrary base

Our starting point is Mumford's conjecture, on representations of Chevalley groups over fields, as it is phrased in the preface of "Geometric Invariant Theory". After extending the conjecture appropriately, we show that it holds over an arbitrary commutative base ring. We thus obtain the first fundamental theorem of invariant theory (often referred to as Hilbert's fourteenth problem) over an arbitrary Noetherian ring. We also prove results on the Grosshans graded deformation of an algebra in the same generality. We end with tentative finiteness results for rational cohomology over the integers.

Strict polynomial functors and coherent functors

We build an explicit link between coherent functors in the sense of Auslander and strict polynomial functors in the sense of Friedlander and Suslin. Applications to functor cohomology are discussed.

Cohomology of bifunctors

We initiate the study of the cohomology of (strict polynomial) bifunctors by introducing the foundational formalism, establishing numerous properties in analogy with the cohomology of functors, and providing computational techniques. Since one of the initial motivations for the study of functor cohomology was the determination of the cohomology of GL(k) with coefficients in a tensor product of a symmetric and an exterior power of the adjoint representation, we keep this challenging example in mind as we achieve numerous computations which illustrate our methods.

Cohomologie de de Rham entiere (Integral de Rham cohomology)

The Cartier isomorphism allows a nice description of the Bockstein spectral sequence of the de Rham complex over the integers. It is used to compute the integral de Rham cohomology of affine spaces. ----- On decrit la suite spectrale de Bockstein issue du complexe de de Rham sur les entiers. L'isomorphisme de Cartier intervient comme un endomorphisme du complexe de de Rham modulo p qui identifie les pages successives de la suite spectrale de Bockstein. On en deduit la cohomologie de de Rham entiere des espaces affines.

General linear and functor cohomology over finite fields

In recent years, there has been considerable success in computing Ext-groups of modular representations associated to the general linear group by relating this problem to one of computing Ext-groups in functor categories. In this paper, we extend our ability to make such Ext-group calculations by establishing several fundamental results. Throughout this paper, we work over fields of positive characteristic p.
