We classify all the surfaces of general type whose canonical map is composed with a pencil if they are the quotient of the diagonal action by an Abelian group acting over the product of two curves. As far as we know all the previous…

We have defined and established a theory of cofinite connectedness of a cofinite graph. Many of the properties of connectedness of topological spaces have analogs for cofinite connectedness. We have seen that if $G$ is a cofinite group and…

We explore the topological full group [[G]] of an essentially principal etale groupoid G on a Cantor set. When G is minimal, we show that [[G]] (and its certain normal subgroup) is a complete invariant for the isomorphism class of the etale…

Let $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X,\mu)$ be a measure preserving action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a standard probability space $(X,\mu)$. We prove that if the action $\Gamma\curvearrowright X$ is not profinite and satisfies a certain…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group. A $\Gamma$-action on a compact abelian group $X$ by continuous automorphisms of $X$ is called Noetherian if the dual of $X$ is Noetherian as a ${\mathbb Z}(\Gamma)$-module. We prove that any Noetherian…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a finite thick generalized quadrangle, and suppose that $G$ is an automorphism group of $\mathcal{S}$. If $G$ acts primitively on both the points and lines of $\mathcal{S}$, then it is known that $G$ must be almost…

Let $\mathcal{X}_{\Gamma}G:=\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,G)/\!/G$ be the $G$-character variety of $\Gamma$, where $G$ is a complex reductive group and $\Gamma$ a finitely presented group. We introduce new techniques for computing Hodge-Deligne and…

Suppose a locally compact group G acts freely and properly on a locally compact Hausdorff space X, and let gamma be the induced action on C_0(X). We consider a category in which the objects are C*-dynamical systems (A, G, alpha) for which…

This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…

We initiate the study of affine actions of groups on $\Lambda$-trees for a general ordered abelian group $\Lambda$; these are actions by dilations rather than isometries. This gives a common generalisation of isometric action on a…

For a partition $\underline{\lambda} = (\lambda_{1}^{\rho_1}>\lambda_{2}^{\rho_2}>\lambda_{3}^{\rho_3}>\ldots>\lambda_{k}^{\rho_k})$ and its associated finite abelian $p$-group…

In this paper, we consider graded associative conformal algebras. The class of these objects includes pseudo-algebras over non-cocommutative Hopf algebras of regular functions on some linear algebraic groups. In particular, an associative…

Let $\boldsymbol{G}$ be an algebraic group of exceptional Lie type in characteristic $p$, $G=\boldsymbol{G}^{\sigma}$ its fixed-point subgroup under the action of a Steinberg endomorphism $\sigma$, and $\overline{G}$ an almost simple group…

We classify the orientably regular maps which are elementary abelian regular branched coverings of Platonic maps M, in the case where the covering group and the rotation group G of M have coprime orders. The method involves studying the…

A group $G$ is said to have restricted centralizers if for each $g$ in $G$ the centralizer $C_G(g)$ either is finite or has finite index in $G$. Shalev showed that a profinite group with restricted centralizers is virtually abelian. Given a…

A graph $\Gamma$ is said to be symmetric if its automorphism group $\rm Aut(\Gamma)$ acts transitively on the arc set of $\Gamma$. In this paper, we show that if $\Gamma$ is a finite connected heptavalent symmetric graph with solvable…

We prove that for any countable acylidrically hyperbolic group $G$, there exists a generating set $S$ of $G$ such that the corresponding Cayley graph $\Gamma(G,S)$ is hyperbolic, $|\partial\Gamma(G,X)|>2$, the natural action of $G$ on…

In this paper we describe all group gradings by a finite abelian group $\Gamma$ of a simple Lie algebra of type $G_2$ over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic 0.

The purpose of this paper is to classify all pairs $(\mathcal{D}, G)$, where $\mathcal{D}$ is a non-trivial $2$-$(v, k, 2)$ design, and $G\leq Aut(\mathcal{D})$ acts transitively on the set of blocks of $\mathcal{D}$ and primitively on the…

The purpose of this note is to extend the classical Aschbacher--O'Nan--Scott theorem for finite groups to the class of countable linear groups. This relies on the analysis of primitive actions carried out in a previous paper. Unlike the…
