Recently, de Thanhoffer de Volcsey and Van den Bergh showed that Grothendieck groups of "noncommutative Del Pezzo surfaces" with an exceptional sequence of length 4 are isomorphic to one of three types, the third one not coming from a…

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 study induced additive actions on projective hypersurfaces, i.e. regular actions of the algebraic group $\mathbb G_a^m$ with an open orbit that can be extended to a regular action on the ambient projective space. We prove that if a…

With every nontrivial connected algebraic group $G$ we associate a positive integer ${\rm gtd}(G)$ called the generic transitivity degree of $G$ and equal to the maximal $n$ such that there is a nontrivial action of $G$ on an irreducible…

We study properly discontinuous and cocompact actions of a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of an algebraic group $G$ on a contractible algebraic manifold $X$. We suppose that this action comes from an algebraic action of $G$ on $X$ such that a…

In this note we derive an upper bound on the number of 2-spheres in the fixed point set of a smooth and homologically trivial cyclic group action of prime order on a simply-connected 4-manifold. This improves the a priori bound which is…

We generalize to the super context, the known fact that if an affine algebraic group $G$ over a commutative ring $k$ acts freely (in an appropriate sense) on an affine scheme $X$ over $k$, then the dur sheaf $X\tilde{\tilde{/}}G$ of…

Cylinders in projective varieties play an important role in connection with unipotent group actions on certain affine algebraic varieties. The previous work due to Dubouloz and Kishimoto deals with the condition for a del Pezzo fibration to…

We completely determine the existence of anticanonical polar cylinders in quasi-smooth log del Pezzo surfaces of index one.

It is known that the identity component of the automorphism group of a projective algebraic variety is an algebraic group. This is not true in general for quasi-projective varieties. In this note we address the question: given an affine…

We classify geometrically integral regular del Pezzo surfaces which are not geometrically normal over imperfect fields of positive characteristic. Based on this classification, we show that a three-dimensional terminal del Pezzo fibration…

Let G be a torsion-free abelian group of finite rank. The orbits of the action of Aut(G) on the set of maximal independent subsets of G determine the indecomposable decompositions of G. G contains a direct sum of pure strongly…

Let $G$ be a finite group of order $n$, and $Z_G=\mathbb{Z}\langle\zeta_{i,g}\mid g\in G,\ i=1,2,\dots,n\rangle$ be the free generic algebra, with canonical action of $G$ according to $(\zeta_{i,g})^x=\zeta_{i,x^{-1}g}$. It is proved that…

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…

We classify smooth del Pezzo surfaces whose alpha-invariant of Tian is bigger than one.

In this paper we determine all finite groups G that can act on some compact Riemann surface M with the property that if H is any non-trivial subgroup of G, then the orbit surface M/H is the Riemann sphere. The idea is to look at the induced…

In this paper, we show that if a group acts isometrically on a good hyperbolic space of finite volume entropy through a non-elementary action, then it admits an affine action on some $L^p$ -space with an unbounded orbit for sufficiently…

Let S be a compact orientable surface with genus g and n boundary components d_1,...,d_n. Let b = (b_1, ..., b_n) where b_n lies in [-2,2]. Then the mapping class group of S acts on the relative SU(2)-character variety X comprising…

Let $f(z)=z^5+az^3+bz^2+cz+d \in \Z[z]$ and let us consider a del Pezzo surface of degree one given by the equation $\cal{E}_{f}: x^2-y^3-f(z)=0$. In this note we prove that if the set of rational points on the curve $E_{a,…

Given a finite group $G,$ we denote by $\Delta(G)$ the graph whose vertices are the proper subgroups of $G$ and in which two vertices $H$ and $K$ are joined by an edge if and only if $G=\langle H,K\rangle.$ We prove that if there exists a…
