In this paper we introduce, for each closed orientable surface, an analogue of Tits buildings adjusted to investigation of the Torelli group of this surface. It is a simplicial complex with some additional structure. We call this complex…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over an algebraically closed field. We show that $A$ is the automorphism group scheme of some smooth projective variety if and only if $A$ has only finitely many automorphisms as an algebraic group. This…

Topological entropy or spatial entropy is a way to measure the complexity of shift spaces. This study investigates the relationships between the spatial entropy and the various periodic entropies which are computed by skew-coordinated…

We show a continuity result for the Weyl pseudometric on subshifts which are generated by model sets. This fact is then used for multiple constructions of subshifts that exhibit different behavior regarding entropy, amorphic complexity and…

We study valued fields equipped with an automorphism. We prove that all of them have an extension admitting an equivariant cross-section of the valuation. In residual characteristic zero, and in the presence of such a cross-section, we show…

This survey gives an account of an algebraic construction of symbolic covers and representations of ergodic automorphisms of compact abelian groups, initiated by A.M. Vershik around 1992 for hyperbolic automorphisms of finite-dimensional…

We associate an square to any two dimensional evolution algebra. This geometric object is uniquely determined, does not depend on the basis and describes the structure and the behaviour of the algebra. We determine the identities of degrees…

We give a method for constructing many examples of automorphisms with positive entropy on rational complex surfaces. The general idea is to begin with a quadratic Cremona transformation that fixes a reduced cubic curve and then use the…

We show that a characteristic $0$ model $X_R\to \Spec R$, with Picard number $1$ over a geometric generic point, of a K3 surface in characteristic $p\ge 3$, essentially kills all automorphisms (Theorem 5.1). We show that there is an…

Given a pair of translation surfaces it is very difficult to determine whether they are supported on the same algebraic curve. In fact, there are very few examples of such pairs. In this note we present infinitely many examples of finite…

We confirm, to some extent, the belief that a projective variety X has the largest number (relative to the dimension of X) of independent commuting automorphisms of positive entropy only when X is birational to a complex torus or a quotient…

We describe smooth rational projective algebraic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2 which contain $n \ge \b_2-2$ disjoint smooth rational curves with self-intersection -2, where $\b_2$ is the…

We study the endomorphism algebra, the automorphism group and the Hodge group of complex tori of complex tori, whose second rational cohomology group enjoys a certain Hodge property introduced by F. Campana.

In analogy to the topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of totally disconnected locally compact groups, we introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous endomorphisms of locally linearly compact vector spaces. We study…

This note constructs completely integrable convex Hamiltonians on the cotangent bundle of certain k-dimensional torus bundles over an l-dimensional torus. A central role is played by the Lax representation of a Bogoyavlenskij-Toda lattice.…

Abstract inner automorphisms can be used to promote any category into a 2-category, and we study two-dimensional limits and colimits in the resulting 2-categories. Existing connected colimits and limits in the starting category become…

We extend to arbitrary characteristic some known results about automorphisms of complex Enriques surfaces that act trivially on the cohomology or the cohomology modulo torsion.

A sofic approximation to a countable group is a sequence of partial actions on finite sets that asymptotically approximates the action of the group on itself by left-translations. A group is sofic if it admits a sofic approximation. Sofic…

Over the past few years the arithmetic Langlands program has proven useful in addressing physical problems. In this paper it is shown how Langlands' reciprocity conjecture for automorphic forms, in combination with a representation…

We give a cohomological criterion for existence of outer automorphisms of a semisimple algebraic group over an arbitrary field. This criterion is then applied to the special case of groups of type D_2n over a global field, which completes…
