For a double solid $V\to P_3(C)$ branched over a surface $B\subset P_3(C)$ with only ordinary nodes as singularities, we give a set of generators of the divisor class group $Pic(\tilde{V}})$ in terms of contact surfaces of $B$ with only…

We describe in parallel the Lorentzian homogeneous spaces $G=\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{psl}(2,\mathbb{R})$, and review some recent results relating the geometry of their quotients by discrete groups.

A series of systems of nonlinear equations with affine Weyl group symmetry of type $A^{(1)}_l$ is studied. This series gives a generalization of Painlev\'e equations $P_{IV}$ and $P_{V}$ to higher orders.

We give a list of possibilities for surfaces of general type with $p_g=0$ having an involution $i$ such that the bicanonical map of $S$ is not composed with $i$ and $S/i$ is not rational. Some examples with $K^2=4,...,7$ are constructed as…

Motivated by the Beauville decomposition of an abelian scheme and the "Perverse = Chern" phenomenon for a compactified Jacobian fibration, we study in this paper splittings of the perverse filtration for compactified Jacobian fibrations. On…

We apply spectral analysis of quotients of the Bruhat-Tits buildings of type $\tilde{A}_{d-1}$ to construct isospectral non-isomorphic Cayley graphs of the finite simple groups $\operatorname{PSL}_d({\mathbb F}_q)$ for every $d \geq 5$ ($d…

Let I(p,v) be Bourdon's building, the unique simply-connected 2-complex such that all 2-cells are regular right-angled hyperbolic p-gons and the link at each vertex is the complete bipartite graph K(v,v). We investigate and mostly determine…

We find normal forms for del Pezzo surfaces of degree $2$ over algebraically closed fields of characteristic $2$. For each normal form, we describe the structure of the group of automorphisms of the surface. In particular, we classify all…

We study mappings with bounded (p,q)-distortion associated to Sobolev spaces on Carnot groups. Mappings of such type have applications to the Sobolev type embedding theory and classification of manifolds. For this class of mappings, we…

Recently, a birational representation of an extended affine Weyl group of $(A_{2N}\rtimes A_1)^{(1)}$-type, which gives a higher-order generalization of an $A_4^{(1)}$-surface type $q$-Painlev\'e equation, was obtained. In this paper, we…

This paper deals with non-Archimedean representations of punctured surface groups in PGL(3), associated actions on Euclidean buildings (of type A2), and degenerations of real convex projective structures on surfaces. The main result is…

We give a new proof of rationality of stable commutator length (scl) of certain elements in surface groups: those represented by curves that do not fill the surface. Such elements always admit extremal surfaces for scl. These results also…

We give an elementary construction of polyhedra whose links are connected bipartite graphs, which are not necessarily isomorphic pairwise. We show, that the fundamental groups of some of our polyhedra contain surface groups. In particular,…

We study algebraic properties of groups of PL or smooth homeomorphisms of unit cubes in any dimension, fixed pointwise on the boundary, and more generally PL or smooth groups acting on manifolds and fixing pointwise a submanifold of…

For even $q$, a group $G$ isomorphic to $PSL(2,q)$ stabilizes a Baer conic inside a symplectic subquadrangle ${\cal W}(3,q)$ of ${\cal H}(3,q^2)$. In this paper the action of $G$ on points and lines of ${\cal H}(3,q^2)$ is investigated. A…

A smooth algebraic surface $S$ is said to be \emph{isogenous to a product of unmixed type} if there exist two smooth curves $C, F$ and a finite group $G$, acting faithfully on both $C$ and $F$ and freely on their product, so that $S=(C…

We show that the group $PSL(2,R)$ is a spherical subgroup in the group of $C^3$-diffeomorphisms of the circle. Also, the group of automorphisms of a Bruhat--Tits tree is a spherical subgroup in the group of hierarchomorphisms of the tree.

We find and study a five-parameter family of four-dimensional coupled Painlev\'e V systems with affine Weyl group symmetry of type $D_5^{(1)}$. We then give an explicit description of a confluence from those systems to a four-parameter…

We show that the (compactified) moduli space of abelian surfaces with a polarisation of type $(1,p^2)$ is of general type for $p \ge 11$, improving a result of O'Grady.

The classification of all semiovals and blocking semiovals in $\mathrm{PG}(2,8)$ and in $\mathrm{PG}(2,9)$ of size less than $17$ is determined. Also, some information on the stabilizer groups and the intersection sizes with lines is given.
