Classes of graphs with bounded expansion are a generalization of both proper minor closed classes and degree bounded classes. Such classes are based on a new invariant, the greatest reduced average density (grad) of G with rank r,…

Let $S$ be a closed Riemann surface of genus $p>1$ with one point removed. In this paper, we identify those point-pushing pseudo-Anosov maps on $S$ that preserve at least one bi-infinite geodesic in the curve complex.

Let $N_{g,n}$ be a genus $g$ compact non-orientable surface with $n$ boundaries. We explain about relations on the level $d$ mapping class group $\mathcal{M}_d(N_{g,0})$ of $N_{g,0}$ and the level $d$ principal congruence subgroup…

A divide on an orientable 2-orbifold gives rise to a fibration of the unit tangent bundle to the orbifold.We characterize the corresponding monodromies as exactly the products of a left-veering horizontal and a right-veering vertical…

We introduce a new parameter, called stretch-width, that we show sits strictly between clique-width and twin-width. Unlike the reduced parameters [BKW '22], planar graphs and polynomial subdivisions do not have bounded stretch-width. This…

For non-negative integers $(d_n(k))_{k \ge 1}$ such that $\sum_{k \ge 1} d_n(k) = n$, we sample a bipartite planar map with $n$ faces uniformly at random amongst those which have $d_n(k)$ faces of degree $2k$ for every $k \ge 1$ and we…

We study some classes of pseudo-differential operators with symbols $a$ admitting anisotropic exponential growth at infinity and we prove mapping properties for these operators on Gelfand-Shilov spaces of type S. Moreover, we deduce…

For every field $F$ which has a quadratic extension $E$ we show there are non-metabelian infinite-dimensional thin graded Lie algebras all of whose homogeneous components, except the second one, have dimension $2$. We construct such Lie…

The purpose of this paper is the study of the roots in the mapping class groups. Let $\Sigma$ be a compact oriented surface, possibly with boundary, let $\PP$ be a finite set of punctures in the interior of $\Sigma$, and let $\MM (\Sigma,…

We construct the first known examples of nontrivial, normal, all pseudo-Anosov subgroups of mapping class groups of surfaces. Specifically, we construct such subgroups for the closed genus two surface and for the sphere with five or more…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $c,d,m$ be positive integers. Let $D$ be a $p$-divisible group of codimension $c$ and dimension $d$ over $k$. Let $\scrD$ be a versal deformation of $D$ over a smooth…

Given two automorphisms of a group $G$, one is interested in knowing whether they are conjugate in the automorphism group of $G$, or in the abstract commensurator of $G$, and how these two properties may differ. When $G$ is the fundamental…

we obtain a necessary condition for the character degree graph with all of its vertices are odd degree of a finite solvable group G.

We give lower bounds on the number of effective divisors of degree $\leq g-1$ with respect to the number of places of certain degrees of an algebraic function field of genus $g$ defined over a finite field. We deduce lower bounds and…

Given a free group $F_k$ of rank $k\ge 2$ with a fixed set of free generators we associate to any homomorphism $\phi$ from $F_k$ to a group $G$ with a left-invariant semi-norm a generic stretching factor, $\lambda(\phi)$, which is a…

We study Anosov families which are sequences of diffeomorphisms along compact Riemannian manifolds such that the tangent bundle split into expanding and contracting subspaces. In this paper we prove that a certain class of Anosov families:…

Wajnryb proved that the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface is generated by two elements. We proved that the mapping class group is generated by two pseudo-Anosov elements. In particular, if the genus is greater than or equal…

In his work on singularities, expanders and topology of maps, Gromov showed, using isoperimetric inequalities in graded algebras, that every real valued map on the $n$-torus admits a fibre whose homological size is bounded below by some…

Let $R$ be a finite-dimensional algebra over an algebraically closed field $F$ graded by an arbitrary group $G$. We prove that $R$ is a graded division algebra if and only if it is isomorphic to a twisted group algebra of some finite…

A graded-division algebra is an algebra graded by a group such that all nonzero homogeneous elements are invertible. This includes division algebras equipped with an arbitrary group grading (including the trivial grading). We show that a…
