Let $M$ be $\CP#2\CPb$, $3\CP#4\CPb$ or $(2n-1)\CP#2n\CPb$ for any integer $n\geq 3$. We construct an irreducible symplectic 4-manifold homeomorphic to $M$ and also an infinite family of pairwise non-diffeomorphic irreducible non-symplectic…

This paper determines tangential structure set of $\#_k\mathbb{C}P^{n}$, for $3\leq n \leq 7$, by analyzing their stable cohomotopy groups and $KO$-groups. As a consequence, it establishes the existence of manifolds with tangential homotopy…

For sufficiently nice families of semigroups and monoids, the structure theorem for sets of length states that the length set of any sufficiently large element is an arithmetic sequence with some values omitted near the ends. In this paper,…

We classify the symplectic automorphism groups for cubic fourfolds. The main inputs are the global Torelli theorem for cubic fourfolds and the classification of the fixed-point sublattices of the Leech lattice. Among the highlights of our…

Given a positive integer $p$, we consider $W^{1,p}$-maps from a Euclidean domain of dimension $p+1$ into a closed Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{N}$. The target manifold is required to satisfy suitable topological conditions; in particular,…

A skew-morphism $\varphi$ of a finite group $A$ is a permutation on $A$ such that $\varphi(1)=1$ and $\varphi(xy)=\varphi(x)\varphi^{\pi(x)}(y)$ for all $x,y\in A$ where $\pi:A\to\mathbb{Z}_{|\varphi|}$ is an integer function. A…

We obtain structure results for locally conformally symplectic Lie algebras. We classify locally conformally symplectic structures on four-dimensional Lie algebras and construct locally conformally symplectic structures on compact quotients…

Let $\mathcal{G}$ be a finite group scheme over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic ${\rm char}(k)=p\geq 3$. In generalization of the familiar notion from the modular representation theory of finite groups, we define the…

In this paper, we study fixed-point sets of $S^{1}$-actions and compatible complex structures on quaternionic manifolds. We obtain an equation involving the first Chern classes of the fixed-point set and of a quaternionically flat manifold…

In this paper we compute the homotopy groups of the symplectomorphism groups of the 3-, 4- and 5-point blow-ups of the projective plane (considered as monotone symplectic Del Pezzo surfaces). Along the way, we need to compute the homotopy…

We develop a structure theory of connected solvable spherical subgroups in semisimple algebraic groups. Based on this theory, we obtain an explicit classification of all such subgroups up to conjugation.

Let p be an odd prime number. Using some previous work of the two authors, we determine the socle filtration of all irreducible smooth mod p representations of SL(2,Q_{p}).

Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group of order $p^n$. It is known that $|\mathcal{M}(G)|=p^{\f{1}{2}n(n-1)-t(G)}$ and $t(G)\geq 0$. The structure of $G$ characterized when $t(G)\leq 4$ in \cite{be,el,ni,sa,zh}. The structure description of $G$ is…

SL_q(2) at odd roots of unity q^l =1 is studied as a quantum cover of the complex rotation group SO(3,C), in terms of the associated Hopf algebras of (quantum) polynomial functions. We work out the irreducible corepresentations, the…

Recently it was shown that, for every fixed k>1, given a finite simply connected simplicial complex X, the kth homotopy group \pi_k(X) can be computed in time polynomial in the number n of simplices of X. We prove that this problem is…

A scheme to perform the Cartan decomposition for the Lie algebra su(N) of arbitrary finite dimensions is introduced. The schme is based on two algebraic structures, the conjugate partition and the quotient algebra, that are easily generated…

There are several notions of a smooth map from a convex set to a cartesian space. Some of these notions coincide, but not all of them do. We construct a real-valued function on a convex subset of the plane that does not extend to a smooth…

We give an explicit description of three operad structures on the species composition $p \circ q$, where $q$ is any given positive operad, and where $p$ is the NAP operad, or a shuffle version of the magmatic operad Mag. No distributive law…

Inspired by the Stochastic processes described by the Feller Coupling and Chinese Restaurant Processes, we create four different bijections from words in the set $[1]\times [2] \times\cdot \times[n]$ to $S_n$. We then compose these maps…

In a recent paper (1994 {\sl J.\ Phys.\ A: Math.\ Gen.\ }{\bf 27} 5907), Oh and Singh determined a Hopf structure for a generalized $q$-oscillator algebra. We prove that under some general assumptions, the latter is, apart from some…
