In this article, we are concerned with various aspects of arcs on surfaces. In the first part, we deal with topological aspects of arcs and their complements. We use this understanding, in the second part, to construct interesting actions…
Given an autohomeomorphism on an ordered topological space or its subspace, we show that it is sometimes possible to introduce a new topology-compatible order on that space so that the same map is monotonic with respect to the new ordering.…
We discuss a number of open problems about mapping class groups of surfaces. In particular, we discuss problems related to linearity, congruence subgroups, cohomology, pseudo-Anosov stretch factors, Torelli subgroups, and normal subgroups.
We are interested in overgroups of the automorphism group of the Rado graph. One class of such overgroups is completely understood; this is the class of reducts. In this article we tie recent work on various other natural overgroups, in…
The goal of this article is to survey recent developments in the theory of contact structures in dimension three.
Structures in low-dimensional topology and low-dimensional geometry -- often combined with ideas from (quantum) field theory -- can explain and inspire concepts in algebra and in representation theory and their categorified versions. We…
We describe the automorphism groups of reductive monoids and of root monoids with active groups of invertible elements.
Various spaces of symmetries of a structure are naturally endowed with both an algebraic and a topological structure. For example, the automorphism group of a structure is, on top of being a group, a topological group when equipped with the…
In this paper we study regular irreducible algebraic monoids over $\fldc$ equipped with the euclidean topology. It is shown that, in such monoids, the Green classes and the spaces of idempotents in the Green classes all have natural…
We introduce the notion of symplectic microfolds and symplectic micromorphisms between them. They form a monoidal category, which is a version of the "category" of symplectic manifolds and canonical relations obtained by localizing them…
Some aspects of the multidimensional soliton geometry are considered.
We introduce the modular class of a Poisson map. We look at several examples and we use the modular classes of Poisson maps to study the behavior of the modular class of a Poisson manifold under different kinds of reduction. We also discuss…
These notes present an approach to obtaining monoid operations which are compatible with a given family of mappings in the sense that the mappings become left translations in the monoid. This can be applied to various situations such as the…
We introduce the concept of a topological J-group and determine for many important examples of topological groups if they are topological J-groups or not. Besides other results, we show that the underlying topological space of a pathwise…
A topology is defined on the mapping class group of a compact connected orientable surface. It is shown that a notion of "genericity" on subsets of the mapping class group arises from this definition. Many plausible results follow from this…
In this paper we discuss the change in contact structures as their supporting open book decompositions have their binding components cabled. To facilitate this and applications we define the notion of a rational open book decomposition that…
This paper considers generalizations of open mappings, closed mappings, pseudo-open mappings, and quotient mappings from topological spaces to generalized topological spaces. Characterizations of these classes of mappings are obtained and…
We study toposes of actions of monoids on sets. We begin with ordinary actions, producing a class of presheaf toposes which we characterize. As groundwork for considering topological monoids, we branch out into a study of supercompactly…
Combinatorial and topological aspects of monoids with an absorbing element and their associated algebras are considered. Phd thesis.
We establish a bi-equivalence between the bi-category of topoi with enough points and a localisation of a bi-subcategory of topological groupoids
