The notion of chain groups of homeomorphisms of the interval was introduced by Kim, Koberda and Lodha as a generalization of Thompson's group $F$. In this paper, we study an $S^1$-version of chain groups: ring groups. We study the…

Let G be an arbitrary finite group and let S and T be two subsets such that |S|>1, |T|>1, and |TS|< |T|+|S|< |G|-1. We show that if |S|< |G|-4|G|^{1/2}+1 then either S is a geometric progression or there exists a non-trivial subgroup H such…

In this article, we prove the algebraic counterpart of the topological results $H^1(S^1, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \mathbb{Z}$ and $H^1(S^2, \mathbb{Z}) \cong \{0\}$. We also see that a non-trivial element of the algebraic cohomotopy groups of…

For the class of solvable groups of homeomorphisms of the line preserving orientation and containing a freely acting element, we establish the metabelianity of the quotient group $G/H_G$, where the elements of the normal subgroup $H_G$ are…

It is a Theorem of W.~ W. Comfort and K.~ A. Ross that if $G$ is a subgroup of a compact Abelian group, and $S$ denotes those continuous homomorphisms from $G$ to the one-dimensional torus, then the topology on $G$ is the initial topology…

For each $n > 0$ there is a one complex parameter family of homeomorphisms of the circle consisting of linear fractional transformations `conjugated by $z \to z^n$'. We show that these families are free of relations, which determines the…

We give a classification and complete algebraic description of groups allowing only finitely many (left multiplication invariant) circular orders. In particular, they are all solvable groups with a specific semi-direct product…

We produce two separate algebraic descriptions of the isomorphism classes of the solvable subgroups of the group PLo(I) of piecewise-linear orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the unit interval under the operation of composition, and…

We consider mappings between Carnot groups. In this paper, which is a continuation of "Pansu pullback and rigidity of mappings between Carnot groups" (arXiv:2004.09271), we focus on Carnot groups which are nonrigid in the sense of…

In this article, we describe all the group morphisms from the group of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the circle to the group of homeomorphisms of the annulus or of the torus.

We introduce singular subalgebroids of an integrable Lie algebroid, extending the notion of Lie subalgebroid by dropping the constant rank requirement. We lay the bases of a Lie theory for singular subalgebroids: we construct the associated…

We strengthen the results of \cite{A1}, consequently, we improve the claims of \cite{A2} obtaining the best possible results. Namely, we prove that if a subgroup $\Gamma $ of $\mathrm{Diff}_{+}(I)$ contains a free semigroup on two…

Let $n$ be a positive integer, and let $\ell>1$ be square-free odd. We classify the set of equivariant homeomorphism classes of free $C_\ell$-actions on the product $S^1 \times S^n$ of spheres, up to indeterminacy bounded in $\ell$. The…

Following the recent advances in the study of groups of circle diffeomorphisms, we describe an efficient way of classifying the topological dynamics of locally discrete, finitely generated, virtually free subgroups of the group…

The group Diff(S^1) of the orientation preserving diffeomorphisms of the circle S^1 plays an important role in conformal field theory. We consider a subgroup B_0 of Diff(S^1) whose elements stabilize "the point of infinity". This subgroup…

We prove the existence of finite groups of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of some closed orientable surface $S$ that act freely and which extends as a group of homeomorphisms of some compact orientable $3$-manifold with boundary $S$,…

We prove a global topological rigidity theorem for locally $C^2$-non-discrete subgroups of the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms of the circle.

This note studies the Burnside problem for homeomorphism groups of compact connected manifolds. For surfaces, we prove that the identity component of the homeomorphism group is torsion-free precisely when the surface is not the sphere,…

Let $p$ be a prime, $G$ a finite $\mathcal{K}_p$-group, $S$ a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G$ and $Q$ be a large subgroup of $G$ in $S$. The aim of the Local Structure Theorem is to provide structural information about subgroups $L$ with $S \leq…

We adapt the Ping-Pong Lemma, which historically was used to study free products of groups, to the setting of the homeomorphism group of the unit interval. As a consequence, we isolate a large class of generating sets for subgroups of…
