Let k be an algebraically closed field. We show that the Cremona group of all birational transformations of the projective plane P^2 over k is not a simple group. The strategy makes use of hyperbolic geometry, geometric group theory, and…
We study the discrete semiclassical orthogonal polynomials of class s=1. By considering all possible solutions of the Pearson equation, we obtain five canonical families. We also consider limit relations between these and other families of…
After recalling briefly some basic properties of the quantum group $GL_q(2)$, we study the quantum sphere $S_q^2$, quantum projective space $CP_q(N)$ and quantum Grassmannians as examples of complex (K\"{a}hler) quantum manifolds. The…
The conformal boundary of a hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ is a union of Riemann surfaces. If any of these Riemann surfaces has a nontrivial Teichm\"uller space, then the hyperbolic metric of $M$ can be deformed quasi-isometrically. These…
The main aim of this work is to construct several new families of proper biharmonic functions defined on open subsets of the classical compact simple Lie groups $\SU n$, $\SO n$ and $\Sp n$. We work in a geometric setting which connects our…
We consider a smooth groupoid of the form \Sigma\rtimes\Gamma where \Sigma is a Riemann surface and \Gamma a discrete pseudogroup acting on \Sigma by local conformal diffeomorphisms. After defining a K-cycle on the crossed product…
In the paper `Automorphic functions for a Whitehead-complement group', [Osaka J Math 43 (2006) 63-77] Matsumoto, Nishi and Yoshida constructed automorphic functions on real 3-dimensional hyperbolic space for a Kleinian group called the…
The parentage between Weyl pairs, generalized Pauli group and unitary group is investigated in detail. We start from an abstract definition of the Heisenberg-Weyl group on the field R and then switch to the discrete Heisenberg-Weyl group or…
The problem of determining whether or not a non-elementary subgroup of $PSL(2,\CC)$ is discrete is a long standing one. The importance of two generator subgroups comes from J{\o}rgensen's inequality which has as a corollary the fact that a…
We use tools from combinatorial group theory in order to study actions of three types on groups acting on a curve, namely the automorphism group of a compact Riemann surface, the mapping class group acting on a surface (which now is allowed…
This paper makes some preliminary observations towards an extension of current work on graphs defined on groups to simplicial complexes. I define a variety of simplicial complexes on a group which are preserved by automorphisms of the…
In this article we show that Bers' simultaneous uniformization as well as the K\"oebe's retrosection theorem are not longer true for discrete groups of projective transformations acting on the complex projective space.
In this paper we study crystallographic sphere packings and Kleinian sphere packings, introduced first by Kontorovich and Nakamura in 2017 and then studied further by Kapovich and Kontorovich in 2021. In particular, we solve the problem of…
Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $\text{SL}(2,\Bbbk)$ and let $R = \Bbbk[x,y]^G$ be the coordinate ring of the corresponding Kleinian singularity. In 1998, Crawley-Boevey and Holland defined deformations $\mathcal{O}^\lambda$ of $R$…
Double coverings of the orthogonal groups of the real and complex spaces are considered. The relation between discrete transformations of these spaces and fundamental automorphisms of Clifford algebras is established, where an isomorphism…
In the present work we describe 3-dimensional complex SL_2-varieties where the generic SL_2-orbit is a surface. We apply this result to classify the minimal 3-dimensional projective varieties with Picard-number 1 where a semisimple group…
We point out an explicit connection between graphs drawn on compact Riemann surfaces defined over the field $\bar{\mathbb{Q}}$ of algebraic numbers --- so-called Grothendieck's {\it dessins d'enfants} --- and a wealth of distinguished…
Young diagrams are ubiquitous in combinatorics and representation theory. Here we explain these diagrams, focusing on how they are used to classify representations of the symmetric groups $S_n$ and various "classical groups": famous groups…
Every graph has a canonical finite abelian group attached to it. This group has appeared in the literature under a variety of names including the sandpile group, critical group, Jacobian group, and Picard group. The construction of this…
In this paper we provide a classification of fundamental group elements representing simple closed curves on the punctured Klein bottle, Similar to the Birman-Series classification of curves on the punctured torus[1]. In the process, an…
