This manuscript represents the author's PhD dissertation thesis.The first part studies decision problems in Thompson's groups F,T,V and some generalizations. The simultaneous conjugacy problem is determined to be solvable for Thompson's…

Let $\Gamma$ be a torsion-free hyperbolic group. We study $\Gamma$--limit groups which, unlike the fundamental case in which $\Gamma$ is free, may not be finitely presentable or geometrically tractable. We define model $\Gamma$--limit…

If $\Gamma$ is a string C-group which is isomorphic to a transitive subgroup of the symmetric group Sym(n) (other than Sym(n) and the alternating group Alt(n)), then the rank of $\Gamma$ is at most $n/2+1$, with finitely many exceptions…

Let $A_g$ be an abelian variety of dimension $g$ and $p$-rank $\lambda \leq 1$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. We compute the number of homomorphisms from $\pi_1^{\text{\'et}}(A_g,a)$ to $GL_n(\mathbb F_q)$,…

We classify all locally finite joinings of a horospherical subgroup action on \Gamma \ G when \Gamma is a Zariski dense geometrically finite subgroup of G=PSL_2(R) or PSL_2(C). This generalizes Ratner's 1983 joining theorem for the case…

We define a quantum version of Hamiltonian reduction by stages, producing a construction in type A for a quantum Hamiltonian reduction from the W-algebra $U(\mathfrak{g},e_1)$ to an algebra conjecturally isomorphic to $U(\mathfrak{g},e_2)$,…

We describe a new approach for classifying conjugacy classes of elementary abelian subgroups in simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field, and understanding the normaliser and centraliser structure of these. For toral…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group and let G be a complex reductive algebraic group. The representation variety $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,G)$ and the character variety $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,G)//G$ each carry a natural topology,…

We study the structure of an LA-group identifying its underlying VB-group with a representation up to homotopy. We show that the Lie algebroid structure is determined by a complementary action up to homotopy of the Lie algebra of units. We…

The notion of $\Gamma$-symmetric space is a natural generalization of the classical notion of symmetric space based on $\z_2$-grading of Lie algebras. In our case, we consider homogeneous spaces $G/H$ such that the Lie algebra $\g$ of $G$…

It is proved that the assembly map in algebraic K- and L-theory with respect to the family of finite subgroups is injective for groups $\Gamma$ with finite quotient finite decomposition complexity (a strengthening of finite decomposition…

In this paper we provide a classification theorem for 1-dimensional boundaries of groups with isolated flats. Given a group $\Gamma$ acting geometrically on a $CAT(0)$ space $X$ with isolated flats and 1-dimensional boundary, we show that…

If $\Gamma$ is a finitely generated Fuchsian group such that its derived subgroup $\Gamma'$ is co-compact and torsion free, then $S={\mathbb H}^{2}/\Gamma'$ is a closed Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ admitting the abelian group…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center. Let $\Gamma \subset G$ be a discrete subgroup. We study closed admissible irreducible subrepresentations of the space of distributions $\mathcal S(\Gamma \backslash G)'$…

The main goal of this paper is to compare the silting theory of an $R$-algebra $\Lambda$ over a Noetherian ring $R$ with that of its tensor product $\Lambda \otimes \Gamma$ with another $R$-algebra $\Gamma$. In the case that the $R$-algebra…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting linearly on a vector space $V$. We compute the Lie algebra cohomology of the Lie algebra of $\Gamma$-invariant formal vector fields on $V$. We use this computation to define characteristic classes for…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive affine algebraic group defined over $\mathbb C$ and $\mathfrak g$ its Lie algebra. We study the monodromy map from the space of $\mathfrak g$-differential systems on a compact connected Riemann surface…

Let $G$ be a complex simply connected semisimple Lie group and let $\Gamma$ be a torsionless uniform irreducible lattice in $G$. Then $\Gamma\backslash G$ is a compact complex non-K\"ahler manifold whose tangent bundle is holomorphically…

We classify affine varieties with an action of a connected, reductive algebraic group such that the group is isomorphic to an open orbit in the variety. This is accomplished by associating a set of one-parameter subgroups of the group to…

It is well known that every locally compact abelian group L can be decomposed as L_1 \oplus R^n, where L_1 contains a compact-open subgroup. In this paper, we use this decomposition to study the topological group Aut(L) of automorphisms of…
