Projection factors describe the contraction of Lebesgue measures in orthogonal projections between subspaces of a real or complex inner product space. They are connected to Grassmann's exterior algebra and the Grassmann angle between…

We study the loxodromic elements for the action of $Out(F_n)$ on the free splitting complex of the rank $n$ free group $F_n$. We prove that each outer automorphism is either loxodromic, or has bounded orbits without any periodic point, or…

We extend Falconer's 1988 landmark result on the dimensions of self-affine fractals to encompass the dimensions of their projections, showing furthermore that their families of exceptional projections contain algebraic varieties which are…

Let $X$ be a smooth Fano variety over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $B$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb{C}$. Geometric Manin's Conjecture predicts the structure of the irreducible components $M \subset \mathrm{Mor}(B, X)$ parametrizing…

For every irreducible automorphism $\phi\in\text{SL}_3({\mathbb Z})$ of the $3$-torus, for which the product of the expanding eigenvalues is positive, we construct a pseudo-Anosov mapping $f$ of an associated surface, semi-conjugate and…

It is shown that each positive map between matrix algebras is the sum of a maximal decomposable map and an atomic map which is both optimal and co-optimal. The result is analyzed in detail for the positive projection onto a spin factor.

Subsurface projection has become indispensable in studying the geometry of the mapping class group and the curve complex of a surface. When the subsurface is an annulus, this projection is sometimes called relative twisting. We give two…

In an earlier paper we showed that we can improve results by Emmy Noether and Alexander Ostrowski concerning the reducibility modulo p of absolutely irreducible polynomials with integer coefficients by giving the problem a geometric turn…

We first show that any connected algebraic group over a perfect field is the neutral component of the automorphism group scheme of some normal projective variety. Then we show that very few connected algebraic semigroups can be realized as…

We consider an arbitrary linear elliptic first--order differential operator A with smooth coefficients acting between sections of complex vector bundles E,F over a compact smooth manifold M with smooth boundary N. We describe the analytic…

We give a subfactor construction for a $II_{1}$ factor M which is not anti-isomorphic to itself. The $II_{1}$ factor we consider is essentially the same as the example previously given by Connes. However, our construction uses the recently…

We study an extreme scenario of the Mastrand projection theorem for which a fractal has the property that its orthogonal projection is the same as the orthogonal projection of its convex hull. We extend results in current literature and…

Given the algebra $T$ of ternions (upper triangular $2\times 2$ matrices) over a commutative field $F$ we consider as set of points of a projective line over $T$ the set of all free cyclic submodules of $T^2$. This set of points can be…

We study the existence of homomorphisms between Out(F_n) and Out(F_m) for n > 5 and m < n(n-1)/2, and conclude that if m is not equal to n then each such homomorphism factors through the finite group of order 2. In particular this provides…

As a special case of Bass' theory of perfect rings, one obtains the assertion that, over a finite-dimensional associative algebra over a field, all flat modules are projective. In this paper we prove the following relative version of this…
