We show that for a complete complex algebraic variety the pure component of homology coincides with the image of intersection homology. Therefore pure homology is topologically invariant. To obtain slightly more general results we introduce…
The Hilbert scheme of $n$ points in the affine plane contains the open subscheme parametrizing $n$ distinct points in the affine plane, and the closed subscheme parametrizing ideals of codimension $n$ supported at the origin of the affine…
It is proved that the group of holomorphic automorphisms of holomorphically homogeneous nondegenerate (finite Bloom-Graham type + holomorphic nondegenaracy) model surface Q is a subgroup of the group of birational automorphisms of the…
A group G acts infinitely transitively on a set Y if for every positive integer m, its action is m-transitive on Y. Given a real affine algebraic variety Y of dimension greater than or equal to two, we show that, under a mild restriction,…
We prove a characterization of profinite algebras, i.e., topological algebras that are isomorphic to a projective limit of finite discrete algebras. In general profiniteness concerns both the topological and algebraic characteristics of a…
The Zariski theorem says that for every hypersurface in a complex projective (resp. affine) space of dimension at least 3 and for every generic plane in the projective (resp. affine) space the natural embedding generates an isomorphism of…
A polynomial automorphism of $\mathbb{A}^n$ over a field of characteristic zero is called co-tame if, together with the affine subgroup, it generates the entire tame subgroup. We prove some new classes of automorphisms, including…
Let $d > 1$, and let $(X,\alpha)$ and $(Y,\beta)$ be two zero-entropy ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$-actions on compact abelian groups by $d$ commuting automorphisms. We show that if all lower rank subactions of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ have completely…
Two subsets $S$ and $T$ of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ are \textit{affinely equivalent} if there is an affine automorphism of $\mathbb{F}_2^n$ taking $S$ to $T$. Given a basis of the affine span of $S$, we can construct a Venn diagram whose regions…
We prove constructively the existence of surjective morphisms from affine space onto certain open subvarieties of affine space of the same dimension. For any algebraic set $Z\subset \mathbb{A}^{n-2}\subset \mathbb{A}^{n}$, we construct an…
In a Hilbert space, we study the strong convergence of alternating projections between two inconsistent affine subspaces with varying relaxation on one side. New convergence results are obtained by seeing the alternating projections as a…
In previous papers, a fundamental affine method for studying homogeneous geodesics was developed. Using this method and elementary differential topology it was proved that any homogeneous affine manifold and in particular any homogeneous…
This paper deals with classifying the dynamics of {\it Topologically Anosov} plane homeomorphisms. We prove that a Topologically Anosov homeomorphism $f:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$ is conjugate to a homothety if it is the time one map of…
Notes of three talks given at the workshop 'Hilbert schemes, non-commutative algebra and the McKay correspondence' CIRM-Luminy (France) October 2003. If A is an order over a central normal affine variety X having a stability structure such…
A topological group is said to be ambitable if each uniformly bounded uniformly equicontinuous set of functions on the group with its right uniformity is contained in an ambit. For n=0,1,2,..., every locally aleph_n bounded topological…
In this paper, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cohen-Macaulayness of the associated graded ring of a simplicial affine semigroups using Gr\"{o}bner basis. We generalize the concept of homogeneous numerical semigroup…
Given a vertex algebra $\mathcal{V}$ and a subalgebra $\mathcal{A}\subset \mathcal{V}$, the commutant $\text{Com}(\mathcal{A},\mathcal{V})$ is the subalgebra of $\mathcal{V}$ which commutes with all elements of $\mathcal{A}$. This…
In this paper we consider the open complement U of a hypersurface Y=V(a) in an affine scheme X. We study the relations between the affineness of U, the intersection of Y with closed subschemes, the property that every closed surface in U is…
In response to questions by Kassabov, Nikolov and Shalev, we show that a given subset $A$ of a finite simple group $G$ is the image of some word map $w : G\times G\to G $ if and only if (i) $A$ contains the identity and (ii) $A$ is…
A structure is called homogeneous if every isomorphism between finitely induced substructures of the structure extends to an automorphism of the structure. Recently, P. J. Cameron and J. Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il introduced a relaxed version of…
