A fully irreducible outer automorphism phi of the free group F_n of rank n has an expansion factor which often differs from the expansion factor of the inverse of phi. Nevertheless, we prove that the ratio between the logarithms of the…

We establish that the set of local automorphisms $\textrm{LAut}(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ is the group $\textrm{Aut}^{\pm}(\mathfrak{sl}_2)$ of all automorphisms and anti-automorphisms. For $n\geq 3$ we prove that anti-automorphisms are local…

We prove that the local components of an automorphic representation of an adelic semisimple group have equal rank in the sense defined earlier by the second author. Our theorem is an analogue of the results previously obtained by Howe, Li,…

In the first part of the paper we give some bounds for domains where the unitarizabile subquotients can show up in the parabolically induced representations of classical p-adic groups. Roughly, it can show up only if the central character…

We determine the endomorphism categories of cell 2-representations of fiat 2-categories associated with strongly regular two-sided cells under some natural assumptions. Along the way, we completely describe J-simple fiat 2-categories which…

Let $F_n$ be the free group on $n \geq 2$ generators. We show that for all $1 \leq m \leq 2n-3$ (respectively for all $1 \leq m \leq 2n-4$) there exists a subgroup of $\operatorname{Aut}(F_n)$ (respectively $\operatorname{Out}(F_n)$) which…

In this article, we study the modular representations of the special linear group of degree two over a finite field in defining characteristic. In particular, we study the automorphisms of derived category of representations. We have been…

Up to isomorphism, there is a unique connected semisimple algebraic group over $\mathbb{Q}$ of Lie type $\mathrm{F}_{4}$, with compact real points and split over $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ for all primes $p$. Let $\mathbf{F}_{4}$ be such a group. In…

The category of linear algebraic groups admits non-surjective epimorphisms. For simple algebraic groups of rank $2$ defined over algebraically closed fields, we show that the minimal dimension of a closed epimorphic subgroup is $3$.

Let $S$ be a nonorientable surface of genus $g\ge 5$ with $n\ge 0$ punctures, and $\Mcg(S)$ its mapping class group. We define the complexity of $S$ to be the maximum rank of a free abelian subgroup of $\Mcg(S)$. Suppose that $S_1$ and…

Suppose $(X,\sigma)$ is a subshift, $P_X(n)$ is the word complexity function of $X$, and ${\rm Aut}(X)$ is the group of automorphisms of $X$. We show that if $P_X(n)=o(n^2/\log^2 n)$, then ${\rm Aut}(X)$ is amenable (as a countable,…

In the present note, we complete the correspondence between stratum components of translation surfaces in low genus and finite-type Artin groups with defining Dynkin diagram containing $E_6$. In an earlier work, we showed that in genus $3$…

We prove Clifford theoretic results on the representations of finite groups which only hold in characteristic $2$. Let $G$ be a finite group, let $N$ be a normal subgroup of $G$ and let $\varphi$ be an irreducible $2$-Brauer character of…

We study the automorphism group Aut(G) of a free product G of finite cyclic groups. We investigate the question in which cases Aut(G) has Serre's property FA. In the case of two or three free factors, we prove that Aut(G) does not have…

We prove that the only non-trivial finite subgroups of birational automorphism group of non-trivial Severi--Brauer surfaces over the field of rational numbers are~$\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z}$ and $(\mathbb{Z}/3\mathbb{Z})^2.$ Moreover, we show…

In SU(2) Seiberg-Witten theory, it is known that the dual pair of fields are expressed by hypergeometric functions. As for the theory with SU(3) gauge symmetry without matters, it was shown that the dual pairs of fields can be expressed by…

In this note we prove that the fouth bounded cohomology of non-abelian free groups with trivial real coefficients is non-zero. In order to prove this, we establish a splitting argument whose simplest form is as follows: Let $M$ denote an…

We show that finite dimensional half-quantum groups at roots of unity corresponding to simple Lie algebras having symmetric Cartan matrix are of wild representation type, except for sl_2. Moreover, the underlying associative algebra is…

We study the (virtual) indicability of the automorphism group $Aut(A_\Gamma)$ of the right-angled Artin group $A_\Gamma$ associated to a simplicial graph $\Gamma$. First, we identify two conditions -- denoted (B1) and (B2) -- on $\Gamma$…

Let $\mathcal{L}$ be a finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra of rank $N$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$. Associated to $\mathcal{L}$ is a family of polynomial folding maps…
