In 2000, Margulis proved that any group of homeomorphisms of the circle either preserves a probabilty measure on the circle or contains a free subgroup in two generators, which is reminiscent of the Tits alternatve for linear groups. In…

We show that expanding toral endomorphisms, together with their respective Lebesgue measure are isomorphic to 1-sided Bernoulli shifts. This result is then extended to smooth perturbations of expanding toral endomorphisms, together with…

Let $d \geq 2$ be an integer. We conjecture that there is a finitely generated perfect group whose homomorphic images include all finite $d$-generated perfect groups. We prove a special case of this conjecture for the finite perfect groups…

We study topological group theoretic properties of algebraic groups over local fields. In particular, we find conditions under which such groups have closed images under arbitrary continuous homomorphisms into arbitrary topological groups.

In the present paper, we show that many combinatorial and topological objects, such as maps, hypermaps, three-dimensional pavings, constellations and branched coverings of the two--sphere admit any given finite automorphism group. This…

We show that finitely generated groups which are Liouville and without infinite finite-dimensional linear representations must have a global fixed point whenever they act by isometry on a finite-dimensional complete CAT(0)-space. This…

We construct and study the one-parameter semigroup of $\sigma$-finite measures ${\cal L}^{\theta}$, $\theta>0$, on the space of Schwartz distributions that have an infinite-dimensional abelian group of linear symmetries; this group is a…

It is shown that every continuous homomorphism of Arens-Michael algebras can be obtained as the limit of a morphism of certain projective systems consisting of Fr\'{e}chet algebras. Based on this we prove that a complemented subalgebra of…

We give a uniform construction that, on input of a recursive presentation $P$ of a group, outputs a recursive presentation of a torsion-free group, isomorphic to $P$ whenever $P$ is itself torsion-free. We use this to re-obtain a known…

We present a general result about generating group topologies by pseudo-norms. Namely, we show that if a topology has a base of sets which are closed in a certain sense, then it can be generated by a collection of pseudo-norms such that the…

Let X be an irreducible smooth complex projective curve of genus g at least 4. Let M(r,\Lambda) be the moduli space of stable vector bundles over X or rank r and fixed determinant \Lambda, of degree d. We give a new proof of the fact that…

A finitely generated group $G$ is said to be condensed if its isomorphism class in the space of finitely generated marked groups has no isolated points. We prove that every product variety $\mathcal{UV}$, where $\mathcal{U}$ (respectively,…

We prove the Andruskiewitsch-Dumas conjecture that the automorphism group of the positive part of the quantized universal enveloping algebra $U_q({\mathfrak{g}})$ of an arbitrary finite dimensional simple Lie algebra g is isomorphic to the…

By using a lattice characterization of continuous projections defined on a topological vector space E arising from a dual pair, we determine the automorphism group of their orthomodular poset Proj(E) by means of automorphisms and…

It is well-known that a homomorphism p between topological groups K, G is a covering homomorphism if and only if p is an open epimorphism with discrete kernel. In this paper we generalize this fact, in precisely, we show that for a…

Let $\mathcal K$ be a complete quasivariety of completely regular universal topological algebras of continuous signature $\mathcal E$ (which means that $\mathcal K$ is closed under taking subalgebras, Cartesian products, and includes all…

In this paper, we proved that for generic Tonelli Lagrangian, there always exists a residual set $\mathcal{G}\subset H^1(M,\mathbb{R})$ such that \[ \widetilde{\mathcal{M}}(c)=\widetilde{\mathcal{A}}(c)=\widetilde{\mathcal{N}}(c),\quad…

We consider an irreducible Anosov automorphism L of a torus T^d such that no three eigenvalues have the same modulus. We show that L is locally rigid, that is, L is C^1 conjugate to any C^1-small perturbation f with the same periodic data.…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of a simply connected, solvable Lie group~$G$, such that $\Ad_G\Gamma$ has the same Zariski closure as $\Ad G$. If $\alpha \colon \Gamma \to \GL_n(\real)$ is any finite-dimensional representation…

We prove that every smooth action of Z^k, k>1, on the (k+1)-dimensional torus homotopic to an action by hyperbolic linear maps preserves an absolutely continuous measure. This is a first known result concerning abelian groups of…
