Mapping class groups satisfy cohomological stability. In this note we show how results by Bestvina and Fujiwara imply that the bounded cohomology does not stabilize, additionally we show that stabily polynomials in the Mumford-Morita-Miller…

We consider finite-sheeted, regular, possibly branched covering spaces of compact surfaces with boundary and the associated liftable and symmetric mapping class groups. In particular, we classify when either of these subgroups coincides…

We give an algebraic analog of the functional equation of Riemann's theta function. More precisely, we define a `theta multiplier' line bundle over the moduli stack of principally polarized abelian schemes with theta characteristic and…

Let $\mathfrak{A}$ be a finite abelian group. In this article, we classify harmonic $\mathfrak{A}$-covers of a tropical curve $\Gamma$ (which allow dilation along edges and at vertices) in terms of the cohomology group of a suitably defined…

We present an explicit and computationally actionable blueprint for constructing vector-valued Siegel modular forms associated to real multiplication (RM) abelian surfaces, leveraging the theta correspondence for the unitary dual pair…

Birman-Lubotzky-McCarthy proved that any abelian subgroup of the mapping class groups for orientable surfaces is finitely generated. We apply Birman-Lubotzky-McCarthy's arguments to the mapping class groups for non-orientable surfaces. We…

The adjacency matrix of a symplectic dual polar graph restricted to the eigenspaces of an abelian automorphism subgroup is shown to act as the adjacency matrix of a weighted subspace lattice. The connection between the latter and…

In this paper, we determine the abelianization of the level d mapping class group for d=2 and odd d. We also extend the homomorphism of the Torelli group defined by Heap to a homomorphism of the level 2 mapping class group.

Let $X$ be an Abelian cover $\mathbb{CP}^{1}$ ramified at $mr$ points, $\lambda_1...\lambda_{mr}.$ we define a class of non positive divisors on $X$ of degree $g-1$ supported in the pre images of the branch points on $X$, such that the…

We prove the following converse of Riemann's Theorem: let (A,\Theta) be an indecomposable principally polarized abelian variety whose theta divisor can be written as a sum of a curve and a codimension two subvariety \Theta=C+Y. Then C is…

We consider Thompson's groups from the perspective of mapping class groups of surfaces of infinite type. This point of view leads us to the braided Thompson groups, which are extensions of Thompson's groups by infinite (spherical) braid…

We study the hyperbolicity of compactifications of quotients of bounded symmetric domains by arithmetic groups. We prove that, up to an \'etale cover, they are Kobayashi hyperbolic modulo the boundary. Applying our techniques to Siegel…

Let \Theta be a smooth compact oriented manifold without boundary, embedded in a euclidean space and let \gamma be a smooth map \Theta into a riemannian manifold \Lambda. An unknown state \theta \in \Theta is observed via X=\theta+\epsilon…

We study the modular representation theory of the symmetric and alternating groups. One of the most natural ways to label the irreducible representations of a given group or algebra in the modular case is to show the unitriangularity of the…

We describe the two-generated limits of abelian-by-(infinite cyclic) groups in the space of marked groups using number theoretic methods. We also discuss universal equivalence of these limits.

The study of noncommutative solitons is greatly facilitated if the field equations are integrable, i.e. result from a linear system. For the example of a modified but integrable U(n) sigma model in 2+1 dimensions we employ the dressing…

From a resolution graph with certain conditions, Neumann and Wahl constructed an equisingular family of surface singularities called splice quotients. For this class some fundamental analytic invariants have been computed from their…

The Chillingworth subgroup of the mapping class group of a compact oriented surface of genus $g$ with one boundary component is defined as the subgroup whose elements preserve nonvanishing vector fields on the surface up to homotopy. In…

We compute the Schwartzman group associated with an ergodic affine automorphism of a compact connected abelian group given by the composition of an automorphism of the group and a translation by an element in the path component of the…

The present work is devoted to characterize the family of symmetric undirected Cayley graphs over finite Abelian groups for degrees 4 and 6.
