We give sufficient conditions which ensure that a functor of finite length from an additive category to finite-dimensional vector spaces has a projective resolution whose terms are finitely generated. For polynomial functors, we study also…
We consider classes T of topological spaces (referred to as T-spaces) that are stable under continuous images and frequently under arbitrary products. A local T-space has for each point a neighborhood base consisting of subsets that are…
The first main result is a topological rigidity theorem for complete immersed hypersurfaces of spherical space forms which extends similar results due to do Carmo/Warner, Wang/Xia and Longa/Ripoll. Under certain sharp conditions on the…
We illustrate the generative power of the lifting property (orthogonality of morphisms in a category) as means of defining natural elementary mathematical concepts by giving a number of examples in various categories, in particular showing…
Let G be either SU(p,2) with p>=2, Sp(2,R) or SO(p,2) with p>=3. The symmetric spaces associated to these G's are the classical bounded symmetric domains of rank 2, with the exceptions of SO*(8)/U(4) and SO*(10)/U(5). Using the…
It is well known that the moduli space of flat connections on a trivial principal bundle MxG, where G is a connected Lie group, is isomorphic to the representation variety Hom(\pi_1(M), G)/G. For a tiling T, viewed as a marked copy of R^d,…
Divergence functions of a metric space estimate the length of a path connecting two points $A$, $B$ at distance $\le n$ avoiding a large enough ball around a third point $C$. We characterize groups with non-linear divergence functions as…
Let $R$ be a semilocal principal ideal domain. Two algebraic objects over $R$ in which scalar extension makes sense (e.g. quadratic spaces) are said to be of the same genus if they become isomorphic after extending scalars to all…
The parametrization theorem is derived in a flat nD pseudo-complex affine space. The pseudo-complex hyperbolic space accomodates n-number of uncompactified time-like extra dimensions with sugnature (s,r), where s and r are the numbers of…
Let $X$ be a set and let $S$ be an inverse semigroup of partial bijections of $X$. Thus, an element of $S$ is a bijection between two subsets of $X$, and the set $S$ is required to be closed under the operations of taking inverses and…
We prove that many completeness properties coincide in metric spaces, precompact groups and dense subgroups of products of separable metric groups. We apply these results to function spaces C_p(X,G) of G-valued continuous functions on a…
The Torelli group $\mathcal T(X)$ of a closed smooth manifold $X$ is the subgroup of the mapping class group $\pi_0(\mathrm{Diff}^+(X))$ consisting of elements which act trivially on the integral cohomology of $X$. In this note we give…
For n>3 we study spaces obtained from finite volume complete real hyperbolic n-manifolds by removing a compact totally geodesic submanifold of codimension two. We prove that their fundamental groups are relative hyperbolic, co-Hopf,…
We introduce geometric and homological finiteness properties for countable approximate groups via coarse geometry and then study these finiteness properties for S-arithmetic reductive approximate groups. For S-arithmetic approximate groups…
We classify homomorphisms from mapping class groups by using finite subgroups. First, we give a new proof of a result of Aramayona--Souto that homomorphisms between mapping class groups of closed surfaces are trivial for a range of genera.…
Refining a theorem of Zarhin, we prove that given a $g$-dimensional abelian variety $X$ and an endomorphism $u$ of $X$, there exists a matrix $A \in \operatorname{M}_{2g}(\mathbb{Z})$ such that each Tate module $T_\ell X$ has a…
If $X$ is a smooth manifold and ${\mathcal{G}}$ is a subgroup of $Diff(X)$ we say that $(X,{\mathcal{G}})$ has the almost fixed point property if there exists a number $C$ such that for any finite subgroup $G\leq{\mathcal{G}}$ there is some…
Finite determinacy for mappings has been classically thoroughly studied in numerous scenarios in the real- and complex-analytic category and in the differentiable case. It means that the map-germ is determined, up to a given equivalence…
We introduce subgroups ${\mathcal{B}}_g< {\mathcal H}_g$ of the mapping class group $Mod(\Sigma_g)$ of a closed surface of genus $g \ge 0$ with a Cantor set removed, which are extensions of Thompson's group $V$ by a direct limit of mapping…
If $G$ is a finite group or a torus, it is known that there is an isomorphism between the Grothendieck group of homotopy representations and that of generalized homotopy representations for $G$. We prove that there is such an isomorphism…
