Let $\mathcal{J}^1$ be the real form of complex simple Jordan algebra with the automorphism group $G$ of type $F_{4(-20)}$. Explicitly, we give the orbit decomposition of $\mathcal{J}^1$ under the action of $G$ and determine the Lie group…

Given an automorphism of a smooth complex algebraic curve, there is an induced action on the moduli space of semi-stable rank 2 holomorphic bundles with fixed determinant. We give a complete description of the fixed variety in terms of…

Let $\pi$ be a group satisfying the Farrell-Jones conjecture and assume that $B\pi$ is a 4-dimensional Poincar\'e duality space. We consider topological, closed, connected manifolds with fundamental group $\pi$ whose canonical map to $B\pi$…

In this paper we prove criteria for a nonnormal toric variety to be flexible, to be rigid and to be almost rigid. For rigid and almost rigid toric varieties we describe the automorphism group explicitly.

In positive characteristic, algebraic curves can have many more automorphisms than expected from the classical Hurwitz's bound. There even exist algebraic curves of arbitrary high genus g with more than 16g^4 automorphisms. It has been…

We prove for the automorphism group of an arbitrary parabolic geometry that the $C^0$ and $C^{\infty}$ topologies coincide, and the group admits the structure of a Lie group in this topology. We further show that this automorphism group is…

In a recent paper, the second author and Joana Cirici proved a theorem that says that given appropriate hypotheses, $n$-formality of a differential graded algebraic structure is equivalent to the existence of a chain-level lift of a…

To any free group automorphism, we associate a real pretree with several nice properties. First, it has a rigid/non-nesting action of the free group with trivial arc stabilizers. Secondly, there is an expanding pretree-automorphism of the…

For bounded pseudoconvex domains with finite type we give a precise description of the automorphism group: if an orbit of the automorphism group accumulates on at least two different points of the boundary, then the automorphism group has…

The cohomological rigidity problem for toric orbifolds asks when an integral cohomology isomorphism implies a homotopy equivalence. In this paper we reformulate the cohomological rigidity problem in the context of $4$-dimensional toric…

A systematic study is made, for an arbitrary finite relational language with at least one symbol of arity at least 2, of classes of nonrigid finite structures. The well known results that almost all finite structures are rigid and that the…

The first-order theory of the automorphism group of an infinite resplendent model in a finite language is undecidable.

We give upper bounds on the order of the automorphism group of a simple graph

In this thesis I study the automorphism tower of free nilpotent groups. Our main tool in studying the automorphism tower is to embed every group as a lattice in some Lie group. Using known rigidity results the automorphism group of the…

Given a positive definite even lattice and a commutative ring, there is a standard construction of a lattice vertex algebra over the commutative ring, and it admits a natural grading by non-negative integers. We describe the groups of…

We describe computational results about undirected graphs having $10$ vertices and automorphism group isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}$.

The study of automorphisms of computable and other structures connects computability theory with classical group theory. Among the noncomputable countable structures, computably enumerable structures are one of the most important objects of…

Scheme-theoretic methods are used to classify ternary quadratic forms with values in line bundles over arbitrary schemes and to canonically determine the isomorphisms between them. The association of a quadratic bundle to its even Clifford…

A characterization is given of the subsets of a group that extend to the positive cone of a right order on the group and used to relate validity of equations in lattice-ordered groups (l-groups) to subsets of free groups that extend to…

We show that the action of Cremona transformations on the real points of quadrics exhibits the full complexity of the diffeomorphisms of the sphere, the torus, and of all non-orientable surfaces. The main result says that if X is rational,…
