We start from a noncompact Lie algebra isomorphic to the Dirac algebra and relate this Lie algebra in a brief review to low energy hadron physics described by the compact group SU(4). This step permits an overall physical identification of…

In this paper, we classify all the orientable hyperbolic 5-manifolds that arise as a hyperbolic space form $H^5/\Gamma$ where $\Gamma$ is a torsion-free subgroup of minimal index of the congruence two subgroup $\Gamma^5_2$ of the group…

We provide explicit counterexamples to the so-called Complement Problem in every dimension $n\geq3$, i.e. pairs of non-isomorphic irreducible hypersurfaces $H_1, H_2\subset\mathbb{C}^{n}$ whose complements $\mathbb{C}^{n}\setminus H_1$ and…

Let $\rho$ be a maximal representation of a uniform lattice $\Gamma\subset{\rm SU}(n,1)$, $n\geq 2$, in a classical Lie group of Hermitian type $H$. We prove that necessarily $H={\rm SU}(p,q)$ with $p\geq qn$ and there exists a holomorphic…

An element of a group is called reversible if it is conjugate to its own inverse. Reversible elements are closely related to strongly reversible elements, which can be expressed as a product of two involutions. In this paper, we classify…

Symmetric $k$-varieties generalize Riemannian sym\-me\-tric spaces to reductive groups defined over arbitrary fields. For most perfect fields, it is known that symmetric $k$-varieties are in one-to-one correspondence with isomorphy classes…

A big-isotropic structure is a generalization of the notion of Dirac structure, due to Vaisman. We discuss the inverse problem of deciding if a vector field is Hamiltonian having a big-isotropic structure as underlying geometry. In [1] we…

We investigate the permutation modules associated to the set of $k$-dimensional faces of the hyperoctahedron in dimension $n$, denoted $H^{n}.$ For any $k\leq n$ such a module can be defined over an arbitrary field $F$, it is called a face…

Let $H^n$ denote the complex hyperbolic space of dimension $n$. The group $U(n,1)$ acts as the group of isometries of $H^n$. In this paper we investigate when two isometries of the complex hyperbolic space commute. Along the way we…

We show that $U(k)$-invariant hypercomplex structures on (open subsets) of regular semisimple adjoint orbits in $\mathfrak{gl}(k,{\mathbb C})$ correspond to algebraic curves $C$ of genus $(k-1)^2$, equipped with a flat projection…

Hyperbolic Dehn surgery and the bending procedure provide two ways which can be used to describe hyperbolic deformations of a complete hyperbolic structure on a 3-manifold. Moreover, one can obtain examples of non-Haken manifolds without…

We say that a Lie (super)algebra is ''symmetric'' if with every root (with respect to the maximal torus) it has the opposite root of the same multiplicity. Over algebraically closed fields of positive characteristics (up to 7 or 11, enough…

A Hamilton decomposition of a graph is a partitioning of its edge set into disjoint spanning cycles. The existence of such decompositions is known for all hypercubes of even dimension $2n$. We give a decomposition for the case $n = 2^a3^b$…

We obtain two characterizations of the bi-inner Hopf *-automorphisms of a finite-dimensional Hopf C*-algebra, by means of an analysis of the structure of convolution products in this class of Hopf C*-algebra.

We initiate the study of deformations of groups in three-dimensional complex hyperbolic geometry. Let $$G=\left\langle \iota_1, \iota_2, \iota_3, \iota_4 \Bigg| \begin{array}{c} \iota_1^2= \iota_2^2 = \iota_3^2=\iota_4^2=id,\\ (\iota_1…

In this paper we determine all Kobayashi-hyperbolic 2-dimensional complex manifolds for which the group of holomorphic automorphisms has dimension 3. This work concludes a recent series of papers by the author on the classification of…

Let $f\colon M^{2n}\to\mathbb{R}^{2n+4}$ be an isometric immersion of a Kaehler manifold of complex dimension $n\geq 5$ into Euclidean space with complex rank at least $5$ everywhere. Our main result is that, along each connected component…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group of isometries acting on the complex hyperbolic $n$-space $\mathbb{H}^n_\mathbb{C}$. In this note, we prove that if $\Gamma$ is convex-cocompact, torsion-free, and the critical exponent $\delta(\Gamma)$ is…

Let $\mathcal{M}_{n,d}$ be the moduli space of semi-stable rank $n$, trace-free Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of degree $d$ on a Riemann surface of genus at least $3$. We determine the following automorphism groups of…

The hypermetric cone $\HYP_{n+1}$ is the parameter space of basic Delaunay polytopes in n-dimensional lattice. The cone $\HYP_{n+1}$ is polyhedral; one way of seeing this is that modulo image by the covariance map $\HYP_{n+1}$ is a finite…
