Let A be a regular domain of dimension d containing an infinite field and let n be an integer with 2n\geq d+3. For a stably free A-module P of rank n, we prove that (i) P has a unimodular element if and only if the euler class of P is zero…

Let $\mathcal H_g$ be the moduli space of genus $g$ hyperelliptic curves. In this note, we study the locus $\mathcal L$ in $\mathcal H_g$ of curves admitting a $G$-action of given ramification type $\sigma$ and inclusions between such loci.…

We consider the action of $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ on a vector bundle $\mathbf{H}$ preserving an ergodic probability measure $\nu$ on the base $X$. Under an irreducibility assumption on this action, we prove that if $\hat\nu$ is any lift of $\nu$…

We compute the weighted Euler characteristic, equivariant with respect to the action of the symplectic group of degree six over the field of two elements, of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian threefolds together with a level…

The equivalence (or weak equivalence) classes of orientation-preserving free actions of a finite group G on an orientable 3-dimensional handlebody of genus g can be enumerated in terms of sets of generators of G. They correspond to the…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface. A quadratic pair on $X$ consists of a holomorphic vector bundle with a quadratic form which takes values in fixed line bundle. We show that the moduli spaces of quadratic pairs of rank 2 are connected…

We study isometric actions on Riemannian symmetric spaces of noncompact type which are induced by reductive algebraic subgroups of the isometry group. We show that for such an action there exists a corresponding isometric action on a dual…

We define extended SL(2,R)/U(1) characters which include a sum over winding sectors. By embedding these characters into similarly extended characters of N=2 algebras, we show that they have nice modular transformation properties. We…

The mapping class group ${\Gamma}_g^ 1$ of a closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 1$ with one marked point can be identified, by the Nielsen action, with a subgroup of the group of orientation preserving homeomorphims of the circle.…

Let $\rm{Mod(S)}$ be the mapping class group of a closed orientable surface $S$ of genus $g \geq 2$. Let $G$ be a non-elementary subgroup of $\rm{Mod(S)}$ so that the associated Bowen-Margulis measure is finite. In this paper, we give an…

In this paper we provide a detailed calculation of the Sweedler cohomology of the algebra of functions on (Z/2)^r, in all degrees, over a field of characteristic 2. The result is strikingly different from the characteristic 0 analog. Then…

The subject of this thesis is the modular group of automorphisms acting on the massive algebra of local observables having their support in bounded open subsets of Minkowski space. After a compact introduction to micro-local analysis and…

Let $M^{r}$ be a connected orientable manifold with the Euler characteristic $\chi(M)\not \equiv 0\operatorname{mod}6$. Denote by $\mathrm{SAut}(F_{n})$ the unique subgroup of index two in the automorphism group of a free group. Then any…

In this paper, we investigate free actions of some compact groups on cohomology real and complex Milnor manifolds. More precisely, we compute the mod 2 cohomology algebra of the orbit space of an arbitrary free $\mathbb{Z}_2$ and…

We compute, at two-loop order, one-particle-irreducible Green functions and effective action in noncommutative $\lambda[\Phi^3]_\star$-theory for both planar (g=0, h=3) and nonplanar (g=1, h=1) contributions. We adopt worldline formulation…

The symplectic group Sp(2g,Z) is a subgroup of the linear group SL(2g,Z) and admits a faithful action on the sphere S^(2g-1), induced from its linear action on Euclidean space R^(2g). Generalizing corresponding results for linear groups, we…

We study the behaviour of the minimal slope of Euclidean lattices under tensor product. A general conjecture predicts that $\mu_{min}(L \otimes M) = \mu_{min}(L)\mu_{min}(M)$ for all Euclidean lattices $L$ and $M$. We prove that this is the…

We show that the sublinearly Morse directions in the visual boundary of a rank-1 CAT(0) space with a geometric group action are generic in several commonly studied senses of the word, namely with respect to Patterson-Sullivan measures and…

We consider the Siegel modular variety of genus 2 and a p-integral model of it for a good prime p>2, which parametrizes principally polarized abelian varieties of dimension two with a level structure. We consider cycles on this model which…

We introduce notions of absolutely non-free and perfectly non-free group actions and use them to study the associated unitary representations. We show that every weakly branch group acts absolutely non-freely on the boundary of the…
