  1. Characteristic classes for cohomology of split Hopf algebra extensions.

    Abstract

    We introduce characteristic classes for the spectral sequence associated to a
    split short exact sequence of Hopf algebras. We show that these characteristic
    classes can be seen as obstructions for the vanishing of differentials in the
    spectral sequence and prove a decomposition theorem. We also interpret our
    results in the settings of group and Lie algebra extensions and prove some
    interesting corollaries concerning the collapse of the
    (Lyndon-)Hochschild-Serre spectral sequence and the order of characteristic
    classes.

  2. New Action-Induced Nested Classes of Groups and Jump (Co)homology.

    Abstract

    Using fixed-point-free group actions, we set up a scheme to define nested
    classes of groups indexed over ordinals. Restricting to cellular actions on
    CW-complexes, we find new classes as well as new characterizations for some
    well-known classes, such as virtually polycyclic groups. We generalize
    properties of the virtual cohomological dimension of a group to groups with
    jump (co)homology and prove that a core subclass of a new class of groups has
    jump (co)homology.
