Let $G$ be a symplectic or special orthogonal group, let $H$ be a connected reductive subgroup of $G$, and let $X$ be a flag variety of $G$. We classify all triples $(G,H,X)$ such that the natural action of $H$ on $X$ is spherical. For each…

A K3 surface $X$ over a $p$-adic field $K$ is said to have good reduction if it admits a proper smooth model over the ring of integers of $K$. Assuming this, we say that a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ is extendable if $X$ admits a…

We give characterizations of a finite group $G$ acting symplectically on a rational surface ($\mathbb{C}P^2$ blown up at two or more points). In particular, we obtain a symplectic version of the dichotomy of $G$-conic bundles versus $G$-del…

This paper concerns complex algebraic K3 surfaces with an automorphism which acts trivially on the Neron-Severi group. Complementing a result by Vorontsov and Kondo, we determine those K3 surfaces where the order of the automorphism is a…

We study K3 surfaces with a pair of commuting involutions that are non-symplectic with respect to two anti-commuting complex structures that are determined by a hyper-K\"ahler metric. One motivation for this paper is the role of such…

The purpose of this note is to prove that the symplectic mapping class groups of many K3 surfaces are infinitely generated. Our proof makes no use of any Floer-theoretic machinery but instead follows the approach of Kronheimer and uses…

In this note we interpret a recent result of Gaberdiel, Hohenegger and Volpato in terms of derived equivalences of K3 surfaces. We prove that there is a natural bijection between subgroups of the Conway group Co_1 with invariant lattice of…

In this paper we study K3 surfaces with a non-symplectic automorphism of order 3. In particular, we classify the topological structure of the fixed locus of such automorphisms and we show that it determines the action on cohomology. This…

Motivated by the theory of Riemann surfaces, we classify all possibilities for finite simple groups acting faithfully on a compact Riemann surface of genus at least 2 in such a way that all non-trivial elements have at most three fixed…

In this note, we consider all possible extensions G of a non-trivial perfect group H acting faithfully on a K3 surface X. The pair (X, G) is proved to be uniquely determined by G if the transcendental value of G is maximum. In particular,…

We classify, up to automorphisms, the elliptic fibrations on the singular K3 surface $X$ whose transcendental lattice is isometric to $\langle 6\rangle\oplus \langle 2\rangle$.

We examine the question of which finitely generated groups act properly on a finite product of locally finite simplicial trees and present evidence in favour of hyperbolic surface groups having such an action. We also give a completely…

We consider 3-manifolds admitting the action of an involution such that its space of orbits is homeomorphic to $S^3.$ Such involutions are called hyperelliptic as the manifolds admitting such an action. We consider finite groups acting on…

We show the finiteness of the N\'eron-Severi lattices of complex projective K3 surfaces whose automorphism groups are non-elementary hyperbolic with explicit descriptions, under the assumption that the Picard number $\ge 6$ which is optimal…

Recall that a pseudofree group action on a space is one whose singular set consists only of isolated points. In this paper, we classify all of the finite groups which admit pseudofree actions on S^2 x S^2. The groups turn out to be exactly…

In this note, we treat a pair of a K3 surface and a non-symplectic automorphism of order 7m (m=1, 3 and 6) on it. We show that if the fixed locus of a non-symplectic automorphism order 7 is "special" then the pair is unique up to…

Let $M=(M,\omega)$ be either the product $S^2\times S^2$ or the non-trivial $S^2$ bundle over $S^2$ endowed with any symplectic form $\omega$. Suppose a finite cyclic group $Z_n$ is acting effectively on $(M,\omega)$ through Hamiltonian…

In this note we present the classification of non-symplectic automorphisms of prime order on K3 surfaces, i.e.we describe the topological structure of their fixed locus and determine the invariant lattice in cohomology. We provide new…

We consider Zimmer's program of lattice actions on surfaces by PL homomorphisms. It is proved that when the surface is not the torus or Klein bottle the action of any finite-index subgroup of SL(n,Z), n>4, (more generally for any 2-big…

The present paper proves that finite symplectic groups of automorphisms of hyperk\"ahler fourfolds deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of two points on a $K3$ surface are contained in the simple group $Co_1$. Then we give an…
