Two birational projective varieties in $P^n$ are Cremona Equivalent if there is a birational modification of $P^n$ mapping one onto the other. The minimal Cremona degree of $X\subset P^n$ is the minimal integer among all degrees of…

In this paper we investigate Gromov's question: whether every one-ended word hyperbolic group contains a surface subgroup. The case of double groups is considered by studying the associated one relator groups. We show that the majority…

In this paper we consider the birational classification of pairs (S,L), with S a rational surfaces and L a linear system on S. We give a classification theorem for such pairs and we determine, for each irreducible plane curve B, its…

We show that certain factor rings of the group algebra of a symmetric group have natural bases of group elements. We also give generators for the annihilator of certain permutation modules for symmetric groups.

We use our extension of the Noether-Lefschetz theorem to describe generators of the class groups at the local rings of singularities of very general hypersurfaces containing a fixed base locus. We give several applications, including (1)…

Let $M$ be a compact surface without boundary, and $n\geq 2$. We analyse the quotient group $B_n(M)/\Gamma_2(P_n(M))$ of the surface braid group $B_{n}(M)$ by the commutator subgroup $\Gamma_2(P_n(M))$ of the pure braid group $P_{n}(M)$. If…

We describe the effect of rational singularities on the Brauer group of a surface, and compute the Brauer groups of all singular del Pezzo surfaces over an algebraically closed field.

A beautifully simple free generating set for the commutator subgroup of a free group was constructed by Tomaszewski. We give a new geometric proof of his theorem, and show how to give a similar free generating set for the commutator…

Groups, in which every subgroup containing some fixed primary cyclic subgroup has a complement, are investigated.

We describe the endomorphisms of the Cremona group and obtain that the Cremona group is hopfian.

On a projective variety defined over a global field, any Brauer--Manin obstruction to the existence of rational points is captured by a finite subgroup of the Brauer group. We show that this subgroup can require arbitrarily many generators.

An n-dimensional Bieberbach group is the fundamental group of a closed flat $n$-dimensional manifold. K. Dekimpe and P. Penninckx conjectured that an n-dimensional Bieberbach group can be generated by n elements. In this paper, we show that…

This note is a continuation of the paper [2] (see references). We describe some natural pseudogroup structures on almost complex manifolds of type $m$. A kind of coherency is discussed for the sheaf of almost holomorphic functions.

The sister of Eisenstein-Picard modular group was described in [8]. In this paper we give a similar definition of the sister of the Euclidean-Picard modular group and find its generators by using a geometric method.

This paper gives a systematic construction of certain covers of finite semigroups. These covers will be used in future work on the complexity of finite semigroups.

In the recent paper [A14], a geometric realization to minimal representations of simple real Lie groups of non Hermitian type is given, based on the geometric setting introduced in [A11]. We give in this paper a geometric realization to…

We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.

In this note we describe the embeddings of the Heisenberg group into the Cremona group.

We determine the minimal number of generators of the homological Goldman Lie algebra of a surface consisting of elements of the first homology group of the surface.

A group in which all cyclic subgroups are 2-subnormal is called a 2-Baer group. The topic of this paper are generalized 2-Baer groups, i.e. groups in which the non-2-subnormal cyclic subgroups generate a proper subgroup of the group. If…
