We exhibit a variety of groups that act properly and even cocompactly on median graphs (a.k.a. one-skeletons of CAT(0) cube complexes), with quasi-isometric groups that do not admit any proper action on a median graph. This answes a…

A compact manifold $M$ together with a Riemannian metric $h$ on its universal cover $\tilde M$ for which $\pi_1(M)$ acts by similarities is called a similarity structure. In the case where $\pi_1(M) \not\subset \mathrm{Isom}(\tilde M, h)$…

The main result of this paper is that the identity component of the automorphism group of a compact, connected, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold is compact unless the manifold is CR equivalent to the standard sphere. In dimensions greater…

The simplest case of a manifold with singularities is a manifold M with boundary, together with an identification of the boundary with a product M1 x P, where P is a fixed manifold. The associated singular space is obtained by collapsing P…

We show that for a rationally inessential orientable closed $n$-manifold $M$ whose fundamental group $\pi$ is a duality group the macroscopic dimension of its universal cover is strictly less than $n$:$$ \dim_{MC}\Wi M<n.$$ As a corollary…

A Mumford group is a discontinuous subgroup $\Gamma$ of PGL(2,K), where K denotes a non archimedean valued field, such that the quotient by $\Gamma$ is a curve of genus 0. As abstract group $\Gamma$ is an amalgam of a finite tree of finite…

Given any topological group $G$, the topological classification of principal $G$-bundles over a finite CW-complex $X$ is long-known to be given by the set of free homotopy classes of maps from $X$ to the corresponding classifying space…

Suppose $E$ is an end of an irreducible, properly convex, real-projective $n$-manifold $M$. If $\pi_1E$ contains a subgroup of finite index isomorphic to ${\mathbb Z}^{n-1}$, and $E\hookrightarrow M$ is $\pi_1$-injective, then $E$ is a…

Let $G$ be a connected complex Lie group and $\Gamma\subset G$ a cocompact lattice. Let $H$ be a complex Lie group. We prove that a holomorphic principal $H$-bundle $E_H$ over $G/\Gamma$ admits a holomorphic connection if and only if $E_H$…

Theories of classification distinguish classes with some good structure theorem from those for which none is possible. Some classes (dense linear orders, for instance) are non-classifiable in general, but are classifiable when we consider…

We establish a quantitative version of the Gromov compactness theorem for closed genus 0 pseudoholomorphic curves in the setting of a tamed almost complex manifold with bounded geometry.

Let $G$ be a compact Lie group acting isometrically on a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ with nonempty fixed point set $M^G$. We say that $M$ is fixed-point homogeneous if $G$ acts transitively on a normal sphere to some component of $M^G$.…

We classify $n$-dimensional geometric graph manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature, and first show that if $n>3$, the universal cover splits off a codimension 3 Euclidean factor. We then proceed with the classification of the…

Principal comodule algebras can be thought of as objects representing principal bundles in non-commutative geometry. A crucial component of a principal comodule algebra is a strong connection map. For some applications it suffices to prove…

We investigate the finiteness structure of a complete non-compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$ whose radial curvature at a base point of $M$ is bounded from below by that of a non-compact von Mangoldt surface of revolution with…

Given a computably locally compact Polish space $M$, we show that its 1-point compactification $M^*$ is computably compact. Then, for a computably locally compact group $G$, we show that the Chabauty space $\mathcal S(G)$ of closed…

We study finite foldable cubical complexes of nonpositive curvature (in the sense of A.D. Alexandrov). We show that such a complex X admits a graph of spaces decomposition. It is also shown that when dim X=3, X contains a closed rank one…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group acting on a stable complex manifold $M$ with equivariant vector bundle $E$. Besides, suppose $\phi$ is an equivariant map from $M$ to the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. We can define some equivalence…

In this paper, we study commutative zero-divisor semigroups determined by graphs. We prove a uniqueness theorem for a class of graphs. We show two classes of graphs that have no corresponding semigroups. In particular, any complete graph…

We prove that for every prime $p$ algebraically clean graphs of groups are virtually residually $p$-finite and cohomologically $p$-complete. We also prove that they are cohomologically good. We apply this to certain $2$-dimensional Artin…
