This paper completely determines the non-amenability of the mapping class groups of infinite-type surfaces, the mapping class groups of locally finite infinite graphs of higher ranks, gives an example of non-amenable stabiliser of a point…
As shown by Masur in 80s, for any translation surface there exists a periodic geodesic of bounded length, the directions of periodic geodesics are dense in the unit circle, and the number of cylinders of periodic geodesics of length at most…
We study translation covers of several triply periodic polyhedral surfaces that are intrinsically Platonic. We describe their affine symmetry groups and compute the quadratic asymptotics for counting saddle connections and cylinders,…
Let $M$ be a closed hyperbolic $3$-manifold. A homotopy class $[S]$ of surfaces in $M$ is filling if any representative cuts $M$ into components contractible in $M$. We prove that there exist $\epsilon_0, g_0>0$ such that every homotopy…
A local description of the non-flat infinitesimally bendable Euclidean hypersurfaces was recently given by Dajczer and Vlachos \cite{DaVl}. From their classification, it follows that there is an abundance of infinitesimally bendable…
We describe the Kontsevich--Zorich cocycle over an affine invariant orbifold coming from a (cyclic) covering construction inspired by works of Veech and McMullen. In particular, using the terminology in a recent paper of Filip, we show that…
We prove a result that relates the number of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of a compact nonorientable surface to a finite group $G$, where conjugacy classes of the boundary components of the surface must map to prescribed…
In this paper, a construction of an infinite dimensional associative algebra, which will be called a \emph{Surface Algebra}, is associated in a "canonical" way to a dessin d'enfant, or more generally, a cellularly embedded graph in a…
A theta surface in affine 3-space is the zero set of a Riemann theta function in genus 3. This includes surfaces arising from special plane quartics that are singular or reducible. Lie and Poincar\'e showed that theta surfaces are precisely…
Schmith\"usen proved in 2004 that the Veech group of an origami is closely related to a subgroup of the automorphism group of the free group $F_2$. This result is significant in the sense that the framework of approachable Veech groups is…
Finite fields form an important chapter in abstract algebra, and mathematics in general. We aim to provide a geometric and intuitive model for finite fields, involving algebraic numbers, in order to make them accessible and interesting to a…
Monodromy groups, i.e. the groups of isometries of the intersection lattice L_X:=H_2/torsion generated by the monodromy action of all deformation families of a given surface, have been computed in math.AG/0006231 for any minimal elliptic…
We study the geometry of hyperconvex representations of surface groups in ${\rm PSL}(d,\mathbb{C})$ and their deformation spaces: We produce a natural holomorphic extension of the classical Ahlfors--Bers map to a product of Teichm\"uller…
We study the question whether the affine semigroup of integer points in a convex cone can be finitely generated up to symmetries of the cone. We establish general properties of finite generation up to symmetry, and then concentrate on the…
We consider lattice equations on ${\mathds{Z}}^2$ which are autonomous, affine linear and possess the symmetries of the square. Some basic properties of equations of this type are derived, as well as a sufficient linearization condition and…
We study the geodesics problem in Heisenberg group H (case SR and riemannian). The sheaf of infinitesimal automorphisms of the (2n,2n+1) distribution D over H is an infinite, transitive Lie algebra sheaf.
We prove that flow of a generic geodesic on a flat surface with finite holonomy group is ergodic. We use this result to prove that flows of generic billiards on certain flat surfaces with boundary are also ergodic.
We study infinitesimal conformal deformations of a triangulated surface in Euclidean space and investigate the change in its extrinsic geometry. A deformation of vertices is conformal if it preserves length cross-ratios. On one hand,…
After a quick review of the representation theory of the symmetric group, we give an exposition of the tools brought about by the so-called half-infinite wedge representation of the infinite symmetric group. We show how these can be applied…
In this paper we investigate possible extensions of the idea of geodesic completeness in complex manifolds, following two directions: metrics are somewhere allowed not to be of maximum rank, or to have 'poles' somewhere else. Geodesics are…
