This is an expository article on the theory of formal group laws in homotopy theory, with the goal of leading to the connection with higher-dimensional abelian varieties and automorphic forms. These are roughly based on a talk at the…

We consider two variants of those Abelian groups with all proper strongly invariant subgroups isomorphic and give an in-depth study of their basic and specific properties in either parallel or contrast to the Abelian groups with all proper…

We consider two variants of those Abelian groups with all proper characteristic subgroups isomorphic and give an in-depth study of their basic and specific properties in either parallel or contrast to the Abelian groups with all proper…

This is an expository lecture, for the Abel bicentennial (Oslo, 2002), describing some recent work on the (small) quantum cohomology ring of Grassmannians and other homogeneous varieties.

We determine which complex abelian varieties can be realized as the automorphism group of a smooth projective variety.

We construct new invariants of equivariant birational isomorphisms taking values in equivariant Burnside groups.

This is an expository article, which contributes to the Proceedings of the conference "Groups of Automorphisms in Birational and Affine Geometry", held in Trento in 2012. We propose that (rational) fibrations on the projective space $\p^n$…

This is the expanded version of my talk at the workshop "Groups of Automorphisms in Birational and Affine Geometry", October 29--November 3, 2012, Levico Terme, Italy. The first section is focused on Jordan groups in abstract setting, the…

We discuss some of the issues that arise in attempts to classify automorphisms of compact abelian groups from a dynamical point of view. In the particular case of automorphisms of one-dimensional solenoids, a complete description is given…

This is (mostly) a survey article. We use an information about Galois properties of points of small order on an abelian variety in order to describe its endomorphism algebra over an algebraic closure of the ground field. We discuss in…

This paper is devoted to a discussion of specific properties of invariants in the theory of forms.

In this article we present an extensive survey on the developments in the theory of non-abelian finite groups with abelian automorphism groups, and pose some problems and further research directions.

These are the lecture notes of a set of lectures delivered at the 1995 Trieste summer school in June. I review some recent work on duality in four dimensional Maxwell theory on arbitrary four manifolds, as well as a new set of topological…

We define here an analogue, for the N\'eron model of a semi-stable abelian variety defined over a number field, of M. J. Taylor's class-invariant homomorphism (defined for abelian schemes). Then we extend an annulation result (in the case…

Recent developments in the study of shape-invariant Hamiltonians are briefly summarized. Relations between certain exactly solvable problems in many-body physics and shape-invariance are explored. Connection between Gaudin algebras and…

The question of when the Kervaire invariant is nontrivial was the only question left unresolved by Kervaire and Milnor in their 1963 study of the relationship between groups of homotopy spheres and stable homotopy groups. In 2009, Mike…

A topological quantum field theory of non-abelian differential forms is investigated from the point of view of its possible applications to description of polynomial invariants of higher-dimensional two-component links. A path-integral…

Taking as starting point a perturbative study of the classical equations of motion of the non-Abelian Chern-Simons Theory with non-dynamical sources, we search for analytical expressions for link invarians. In order to present these…

We study Ehrhart series with coefficients in Abelian group rings. This opens new enumeration applications and unifies earlier variants, in particular, polynomial weighted, $q$-weighted, and equivariant Ehrhart series.

We give archimedean and non-archimedean constructions of Darmon points on modular abelian varieties attached to automorphic forms over arbitrary number fields and possibly non-trivial central character. An effort is made to present a…
