Quasi-Projectivity of Weighted Right-Angled Artin Groups

Yongqiang Liu, Xiaobin Xu

Weighted right-angled Artin groups generalize right-angled Artin groups by adding weights to the edges of the defining graphs. We classify the weighted right-angled Artin groups th…

Spectral sequences, Massey products and homology of covering spaces

Yongqiang Liu, Laurentiu Maxim, Botong Wang

We revisit the equivariant spectral sequence considered by Papadima-Suciu, and show that all its differentials are computed by higher order Massey products. As a first application,…

Maximal twisted Betti numbers of complex hyperplane arrangement complements

Yongqiang Liu, Laurentiu Maxim, Botong Wang

We show that the Betti numbers of a local system on the complement of an essential complex hyperplane arrangement are maximized precisely when the local system is constant. This re…

Brylinski-Radon transformation and generic projections

Yongqiang Liu, Laurentiu Maxim, Botong Wang

Using the Brylinski-Radon transformation, we prove that under a generic surjective linear map from C^n to C^m, the pushforward of a perverse sheaf is perverse, modulo shifts of con…

Cohomology of -local systems on complex hyperplane arrangement complements

Yongqiang Liu, Laurenţiu Maxim, Botong Wang

We prove a Cohen-Dimca-Orlik type theorem for rank one -local systems on complex hyperplane arrangement complements. This settles a recent conjecture of S. Sugawara.

Non-abelian Mellin Transformations and Applications

Yongqiang Liu, Laurenţiu Maxim, Botong Wang

We study non-abelian versions of the Mellin transformations, originally introduced by Gabber-Loeser on complex affine tori. Our main result is a generalization to the non-abelian c…
