We prove a generalization of the fixed point theorem of Cartwright and Littlewood. Namely, suppose $h : \mathbb{R}^2 \to\mathbb{R}^2$ is an orientation preserving planar homeomorphism, and let $C$ be a continuum such that $h^{-1}(C)\cup C$…

Our purpose in this article is to prove that the group $H({\bf C})$ of homeomorphisms of the complex plane ${\bf C}$ is a metric group equipped with the metric induced by uniform convergence of homeomorphisms and their inverses on compacts…

In [13], it is proved that any subgroup of $\mathrm{Diff}_{+}^{\omega }(I)$ (the group of orientation preserving analytic diffeomorphisms of the interval) is either metaabelian or does not satisfy a law. A stronger question is asked whether…

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a method to stabilize certain spaces of homomorphisms from finitely generated free abelian groups to a Lie group $G$, namely $Hom(\mathbb Z^n,G)$. We show that this stabilized space of…

Let G be a Lie groupoid over M such that the target-source map from G to M x M is proper. We show that, if O is an orbit of finite type (i.e. which admits a proper function with finitely many critical points), then the restriction G|U of G…

It is a classical result that the set $K\backslash G /B$ is finite, where $G$ is a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field with characteristic not equal to two, $B$ is a Borel subgroup of $G$, and $K = G^{\theta}$ is…

The classifying space BG of a topological group $G$ can be filtered by a sequence of subspaces $B(q,G)$, using the descending central series of free groups. If $G$ is finite, describing them as homotopy colimits is convenient when applying…

We study the nonabelian composition factors of a finite group $G$ assumed to admit an $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$-orbit of length at least $\rho|G|$, for a given $\rho\in\left(0,1\right]$. Our main results are the following: The orders of the…

Fix a simple complex Lie group G and a principal sl(2,C) subalgebra of Lie(G). Then the moduli space of semi-stable, topologically trivial G-Higgs bundles on a hyperbolic, spin Riemann surface acquires a marked point. This is the unique…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an unramified quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ for a fixed $p>2$. Projective general linear groups $G=\operatorname{PGL}_{2}(\mathbb{K})$ and $H=\operatorname{PGL}_{2}(\mathbb{Q}_{p})$ act transitively on…

Let G be a connected reductive complex algebraic group acting on a smooth complete complex algebraic variety X. We assume that X under the action of G is a regular embedding, a condition satisfied in particular by smooth toric varieties and…

We prove an algebraic version of a classical theorem in topology, asserting that an abelian p-group action on a smooth projective variety of positive dimension cannot fix exactly one point. When the group has only two elements, we prove…

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…

It is shown that if $S$ is a commuting family of weak$^{\ast }$ continuous nonexpansive mappings acting on a weak$^{\ast }$ compact convex subset $C$ of the dual Banach space $E$, then the set of common fixed points of $S$ is a nonempty…

We study orbit configuration spaces $\mathrm{Cf}_G(n,\mathbb{P}^1_*)$ obtained from the action of a finite homography group $G$ on $\mathbb{P}^1$. We construct a flat connection on the orbit space with values in a Lie algebra…

For any abelian compact Lie group $G$, we introduce a family of $G$-stratified pseudomanifolds, whose main feature is the preservation of the orbit spaces in the category of stratified pseudomanifolds. Which generalize a previous definition…

We prove a generalization of a theorem of Borel-Harish-Chandra on closed orbits of linear actions of reductive groups. Consider a real reductive algebraic group $G$ acting linearly and rationally on a real vector space $V$. $G$ can be…

We define boundedness properties on the contractible fixed points set of the time-one map of an identity isotopy on a closed oriented surface with genus $g\geq1$. In symplectic geometry, a classical object is the notion of action function,…

Throughout this Abstract, $G$ is a topological Abelian group and $\hat{G}$ is the space of continuous homomorphisms from $G$ into $T$ in the compact-open topology. A dense subgroup $D$ of $G$ determines $G$ if the (necessarily continuous)…

We prove a global fixed point theorem for the centralizer of a homeomorphism of the two dimensional disk $D$ that has attractor-repeller dynamics on the boundary with at least two attractors and two repellers. As one application, we show…
