We investigate the solution sets to equations in the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $BS(1,k)$, $k\geq2$, and show that these sets are represented by EDT0L languages in some cases. In particular, we prove that the multiplication table of…

A connected graph is called \emph{geodetic} if there is a unique geodesic between each pair of vertices. In this paper we prove that if a finitely generated group admits a Cayley graph which is geodetic, then the group must be virtually…

On a regular tetrahedron in spherical space there exist the finite number of simple closed geodesics. For any pair of coprime integers $(p,q)$ it was found the numbers $\alpha_1$ and $\alpha_2$ depending on $p$, $q$ and satisfying the…

Since Schwarzshild discovered the point-mass solution to Einstein's equations that bears his name, many equivalent forms of the metric have been catalogued. Using an elementary coordinate transformation, we derive the most general form for…

In this paper, we provide a model for cross sections to the geodesic and horocycle flows on $\operatorname{SL}(2, \mathbb{R})/G_q$ using an extension of a heuristic of P. Arnoux and A. Nogueira. Our starting point is a continued fraction…

Recently, a number of interesting relations have been discovered between generalised Pauli/Dirac groups and certain finite geometries. Here, we succeeded in finding a general unifying framework for all these relations. We introduce…

We find all irreducible hypergeometric sheaves whose geometric monodromy group is finite, almost quasisimple and has the projective special linear group $PSL_n(q)$ with $n\geq 3$ as a composition factor. We use the classification of…

Semilinear stochastic partial differential equations on bounded domains $\mathscr{D}$ are considered. The semilinear term may have arbitrary polynomial growth as long as it is continuous and monotone except perhaps near the origin. Typical…

We give a complete description of the cone of Betti diagrams over a standard graded hypersurface ring of the form k[x,y]/<q>, where q is a homogeneous quadric. We also provide a finite algorithm for decomposing Betti diagrams, including…

The aim of this paper is to give the geometric realization of regular path complexes via (co)homology groups with coefficients in a ring $R$. Concretely, for each regular path complex $P$, we associate it with a singular $\Delta$-complex…

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed hyperbolic surface. We study, for fixed $g$, the asymptotics of the number of those periodic geodesics in $\Sigma$ having at most length $L$ and which can be written as the product of $g$ commutators. The basic idea…

Half of the Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) transformations consist of orientation-preserving conformal homeomorphisms of the extended complex plane known as fractional linear (or Mobius) transformations. These can be of 4 kinds, i.e. they are…

We introduce the periplectic $q$-Brauer category over an integral domain of characteristic not $2$. This is a strict monoidal supercategory and can be considered as a $q$-analogue of the periplectic Brauer category. We prove that the…

For every hyperbolic group and more general hyperbolic graphs, we construct an equivariant ideal bicombing: this is a homological analogue of the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds. We then construct a cohomological invariant…

A subgroup H of a reductive group G is horospherical if it contains a maximal unipotent subgroup. We describe the Grothendieck semigroup of invariant subspaces of regular functions on G/H as a semigroup of convex polytopes. From this we…
