We initiate a systematic study of the perfection of affine group schemes of finite type over fields of positive characteristic. The main result intrinsically characterises and classifies the perfections of reductive groups, and obtains a…
In general the endomorphisms of a non-abelian group do not form a ring under the operations of addition and composition of functions. Several papers have dealt with the ring of functions defined on a group which are endomorphisms when…
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…
We consider an integrable system in five unknowns having three quartics invariants. We show that the complex affine variety defined by putting these invariants equal to generic constants, completes into an abelian surface; the jacobian of a…
We introduce a class of objects which we call 'affine surfaces'. These provide families of foliations on surfaces whose dynamics we are interested in. We present and analyze a couple of examples, and we define concepts related to these in…
The graded affine Lie algebras provide a framework in which the dressing method is applied to the generic type of integrable models. The dressing formalism is used to develop a unified approach to various symmetry flows encountered among…
We provide a complete description of normal affine algebraic varieties over the real numbers endowed with an effective action of the real circle, that is, the real form of the complex multiplicative group whose real locus consists of the…
We investigate the problem of defining group or loop structures on spheres, where by ''sphere'' we mean the level set q(x) = c of a general K-valued quadratic form q, for an invertible scalar c. When K is a field and q non-degenerate, then…
We give a simple and relatively short proof of the following fact: any hyperbolic group admits a proper affine isometric action on a $\ell^p$-space for $p$ large enough. A first proof of this result was given by Guoliang Yu.
We investigate equivariant and invariant topological complexity of spheres endowed with smooth non-free actions of cyclic groups of prime order. We prove that semilinear $\mathbb{Z}/p$-spheres have both invariants either $2$ or $3$ and…
We are interested in finite groups acting orientation-preservingly on 3-manifolds (arbitrary actions, ie not necessarily free actions). In particular we consider finite groups which contain an involution with nonempty connected fixed point…
We obtain a complete characterization of \emph{topologically exact patterns} on \emph{triods}. Based on their \emph{rotation number} $\rho$, these \emph{exact patterns} are grouped into three classes: \emph{slow} ($\rho < \frac{1}{3}$),…
We consider algebraic actions of a cyclic group of order p on a K3 surface defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We classify possible loci of fixed points as well as possible quotient surfaces.
In this paper we will first introduce the notion of affine structures on a ringed space and then obtain several properties. Affine structures on a ringed space, arising mainly from complex analytical spaces of algebraic schemes over number…
The quotient space of a $K3$ surface by a finite group is an Enriques surface or a rational surface if it is smooth. Finite groups where the quotient space are Enriques surfaces are known. In this paper, by analyzing effective divisors on…
Actions on hyperbolic metric spaces are an important tool for studying groups, and so it is natural, but difficult, to attempt to classify all such actions of a fixed group. In this paper, we build strong connections between hyperbolic…
We introduce the notion of affine strict polynomial functor. We show how this concept helps to understand homological behavior of the operation of Frobenius twist in the category of strict polynomial functors over a field of positive…
Let $R(r,n)$ be the $r$th order Reed-Muller code of length $2^n$. The affine linear group $\text{AGL}(n,\Bbb F_2)$ acts naturally on $R(r,n)$. We derive two formulas concerning the number of orbits of this action: (i) an explicit formula…
We construct algebraic families of exotic affine 3-spheres, that is, smooth affine threefolds diffeomorphic to a non-degenerate smooth complex affine quadric of dimension 3 but non algebraically isomorphic to it. We show in particular that…
We give an algorithm for solving equations and inequations with rational constraints in virtually free groups. Our algorithm is based on Rips classification of measured band complexes. Using canonical representatives, we deduce an algorithm…
