In this paper, we prove that any mean curvature flow translator $\Sigma^2 \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ with finite total curvature and one end must be a plane. We also prove that if the translator $\Sigma$ has multiple ends, they are asymptotic to…

First, we apply Thurston's construction of pseudo-Anosov homeomorphisms to grid graphs and obtain translation surfaces whose Veech groups are commensurable to $(m,n,\infty)$ triangle groups. These surfaces were first discovered by Bouw and…

Continuing the work in \cite{ergodic-infinite}, we show that within each stratum of translation surfaces, there is a residual set of surfaces for which the geodesic flow in almost every direction is ergodic for almost-every periodic group…

In this paper we continue to investigate the systolic landscape of translation surfaces started in [CHMW]. We show that there is an infinite sequence of surfaces $(S_{g_k})_k$ of genus $g_k$, where $g_k \to \infty$ with large systoles. On…

For every half-translation surface with marked points $(M,\Sigma)$, we construct an associated tessellation $\Pi(M,\Sigma)$ of the Poincar\'e upper half plane whose tiles have finitely many sides and area at most $\pi$. The tessellation…

Every infinite group $G$ of regular cardinality can be partitioned $G=A_1\cup A_2$ so that $G\neq FA_1$, $G\neq FA_2$ for every subset $F\subset G$ of cardinality $|F|<|G|$. The first author asked whether the same is true for each group $G$…

Let M be a graph manifold. We prove that fundamental groups of embedded incompressible surfaces in M are separable in the fundamental group of M, and that the double cosets for crossing surfaces are also separable. We deduce that if there…

We prove that every finite abelian group G occurs as a subgroup of the class group of infinitely many real cyclotomic fields.

We prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.

We prove that every finitely generated soluble group which is not virtually abelian has a subgroup of one of a small number of types.

We prove that all elements of infinite order in $Out(F_n)$ have positive translation lengths; moreover, they are bounded away from zero. Consequences include a new proof that solvable subgroups of $Out(F_n)$ are finitely generated and…

We generalise the standard constructions of a Cayley graph in terms of a group presentation by allowing some vertices to obey different relators than others. The resulting notion of presentation allows us to represent every vertex…

Let $X$ be a Berkovich space over a valued field. We prove that every finite group is a Galois group over $\Ms(B)(T)$, where $\Ms(B)$ is the field of meromorphic functions over a part $B$ of $X$ satisfying some conditions. This gives a new…

Given a finite group $G,$ we denote by $\Delta(G)$ the graph whose vertices are the proper subgroups of $G$ and in which two vertices $H$ and $K$ are joined by an edge if and only if $G=\langle H,K\rangle.$ We prove that if there exists a…

Surface groups are known to be the Poincar\'e Duality groups of dimension two since the work of Eckmann, Linnell and M\"uller. We prove a prosolvable analogue of this result that allows us to show that surface groups are profinitely (and…

In this paper we develop two types of tools to deal with differentiability properties of vectors in continuous representations $\pi \: G \to \GL(V)$ of an infinite dimensional Lie group $G$ on a locally convex space $V$. The first class of…

In the present paper, we show that many combinatorial and topological objects, such as maps, hypermaps, three-dimensional pavings, constellations and branched coverings of the two--sphere admit any given finite automorphism group. This…

A group action is said to be highly-transitive if it is $k$-transitive for every $k \ge 1$. The main result of this thesis is the following: Main Theorem: The fundamental group of a closed, orientable surface of genus > 1 admits a…

Let $F$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We prove that the category of finitely presented smooth $Z$-finite representations of $GL_2(F)$ over a finite extension of $\mathbb{F}_p$ is an abelian subcategory of the category of all…

This paper gives a quick overview of the author's recent result that all finitely presented groups are QSF.
