We prove that automorphism groups of Inoue and primary Kodaira surfaces are Jordan.

Jordan isomorphisms of rings are defined by two equations. The first one is the equation of additivity while the second one concerns multiplicativity with respect to the so-called Jordan product. In this paper we present results showing…

Let $f \colon X \to B$ be a complex elliptic surface and let $\DD \subset X$ be an integral divisor dominating $B$. It is well-known that the Parshin-Arakelov theorem implies the Mordell conjecture over complex function fields by a…

We give two generalizations of the Clifford theorem to algebraic surfaces. As an application, we obtain some bounds for the number of moduli of surfaces of general type.

In this paper we find the exact value of the Jordan constant for Cremona group of rank $2$ over all finite fields. During the proof we construct a cubic surface over $\mathbb{F}_2$ with a regular action of the group $\mathrm{S}_6$ which is…

This is a survey on the automorphism groups in various classes of affine algebraic surfaces and the algebraic group actions on such surfaces. Being infinite-dimensional, these automorphism groups share some important features of algebraic…

Jordan algebras arise naturally in (quantum) information geometry, and we want to understand their role and their structure within that framework. Inspired by Kirillov's discussion of the symplectic structure on coadjoint orbits, we provide…

A normal subgroup of the (extended) mapping class group of a surface is said to be geometric if its automorphism group is the mapping class group. We prove that in the case of the Cantor tree surface, every normal subgroup is geometric. We…

We prove that every finite group is the automorphism group of a finite abstract polytope isomorphic to a face-to-face tessellation of a sphere by topological copies of convex polytopes. We also show that this abstract polytope may be…

We calculate the automorphism group of certain Enriques surfaces. The Enriques surfaces that we investigate include very general $n$-nodal Enriques surfaces and very general cuspidal Enriques surfaces. We also describe the action of the…

We prove rationality results for moduli spaces of elliptic K3 surfaces and elliptic rational surfaces with fixed monodromy groups.

We study properties of continuous finite group actions on topological manifolds that hold true, for any finite group action, after possibly passing to a subgroup of index bounded above by a constant depending only on the manifold. These…

Let $X$ be a non-uniruled compact K\"ahler space of dimension 3. We show that the group of bimeromorphic automorphisms of $X$ is Jordan. More generally, the same result holds for any compact K\"ahler space admitting a quasi-minimal model.

The formal group law of an elliptic curve has seen recent applications to computational algebraic geometry in the work of Couveignes to compute the order of an elliptic curve over finite fields of small characteristic. The purpose of this…

We present a new algorithm for computing the endomorphism ring of an ordinary abelian surface over a finite field which is subexponential and generalizes an algorithm of Bisson and Sutherland for elliptic curves. The correctness of this…

In this note, we report some recent progress on the Jordan property for (birational) automorphism groups of projective varieties and compact complex varieties.

The paper proves a result on the convergence of discrete conformal maps to the Riemann mappings for Jordan domains. It is a counterpart of Rodin-Sullivan's theorem on convergence of circle packing mappings to the Riemann mapping in the new…

We give completely combinatorial proofs of the main results of [3] using polygons. Namely, we prove that the mapping class group of a surface with boundary acts faithfully on a finitely-generated linear category. Along the way we prove some…

Sp\"ath showed that the Alperin-McKay conjecture in the representation theory of finite groups holds if the so-called inductive Alperin-McKay condition holds for all finite simple groups. In a previous article, we showed that the…

We give a generalization of the Jordan canonical form theorem for a class of bounded linear operators on complex separable Hilbert spaces in terms of direct integrals. Precisely, we study the uniqueness of strongly irreducible…
