We study the automorphisms group action on a bounded domain in $\CC^n$ having a boundary point that is exponentially flat. Such a domain typically has a compact automorphism group. Our results enable us to generate many new examples.

Suppose $D$ is a finite dimensional C*-algebra carrying a continuous action $\overline{\Pi}$ of the circle group $\mathbb{T}$. We study the quantum symmetry group of $D$, taking $\overline{\Pi}$ into account. We show that they are braided…

We determine the automorphism groups of unbounded homogeneous domains with boundaries of light cone type. Furthermore we present the group-theoretic characterization of the domain. As a corollary we prove the non-existence of compact…

We show that biholomorphic maps between certain pairs of Runge domains in the complex affine space $\mathbb C^n$, $n>1$, are limits of holomorphic automorphisms of $\mathbb C^n$. A similar result holds for volume preserving maps and also in…

The tetrablock is a domain in 3-dimensional complex space that meets 3-dimensional Euclidean space in a regular tetrahedron. It is shown to be inhomogeneous and its automorphism group is determined. A type of Schwarz lemma for the…

We give an explicit description of smoothly bounded Reinhardt domains with noncompact automorphism groups. In particular, this description confirms a special case of a conjecture of Greene/Krantz.

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite connected graph. The (unlabelled) configuration space $UC^n \Gamma$ of $n$ points on $\Gamma$ is the space of $n$-element subsets of $\Gamma$. The $n$-strand braid group of $\Gamma$, denoted $B_n\Gamma$, is the…

Let $X$ be an arbitrary complex surface and $D \subset X$ a domain that has a non compact group of holomorphic automorphisms. A characterization of those domains $D$ that admit a smooth real analytic, finite type boundary orbit accumulation…

We prove that if $\Gamma$ is a lattice in a classical simple Lie group $G$, then the symmetric space of $G$ is $\Gamma$-equivariantly homotopy equivalent to a proper cocompact $\Gamma$-CW complex of dimension the virtual cohomological…

We give sufficient conditions for the quotient of a free, properly discontinuous action on a bounded domain of holomorphy to be a Stein manifold in terms of Poincar\'e series or limit sets for orbits. An immediate consequence is that the…

We show that the noncommutative spheres of Connes and Landi are quantum homogeneous spaces for certain compact quantum groups. We give a general construction of homogeneous spaces which support noncommutative spin geometries.

We study domains in complex $n$-space with automorphism group that does not depend on the full $n$ dimensions of the ambient space. A sufficient geometric condition is obtained to guarantee that a domain has such a "thin" automorphism…

The distinguishing number $D(\Gamma)$ of a graph $\Gamma$ is the least size of a partition of the vertices of $\Gamma$ such that no non-trivial automorphism of $\Gamma$ preserves this partition. We show that if the automorphism group of a…

We give an example of a bounded Stein domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$, with smooth boundary, which is not Runge and whose intersection with every complex line is simply connected.

Finite dimensional Stein spaces admitting a proper holomorphic embedding of the complex line are characterized, among all complex spaces, by their holomorphic endomorphism semigroup in the sense that any semigroup isomorphism induces either…

The density property for a Stein manifold X implies that the group of holomorphic diffeomorphisms of X is infinite-dimensional and, in a certain well-defined sense, as large as possible. We prove that if G is a complex semisimple Lie group…

We show that the Bergman metric of the ball quotients $\mathbb{B}^2/\Gamma$, where $\Gamma$ is a finite and fixed point free group, is K\"ahler-Einstein if and only if $\Gamma$ is trivial. As a consequence, we characterize the unit ball…

We study the geometry and dynamics of discrete subgroups $\Gamma$ of $\PSL(3,\mathbb{C})$ with an open invariant set $\Omega \subset \PC^2$ where the action is properly discontinuous and the quotient $\Omega/\Gamma$ contains a connected…

The paper is a survey of recent results in geometric representation theory describing group actions which induce multiplicity-free representations in the spaces of holomorphic functions. For connected compact Lie groups of automorphisms of…

We construct several new examples of homogeneous domains in complex space that do not have bounded realisations. They are equivalent to tubes over affinely homogeneous domains in real space and have a real-analytic everywhere Levi…
