In this paper we study the gonality of the normalizations of curves in the linear system $|H|$ of a general primitively polarized complex $K3$ surface $(S,H)$ of genus $p$. We prove two main results. First we give a necessary condition on…

We define the notion of $(p_0,p_1,\dots,p_d)$-type semi-equivelar gems for closed connected PL $d$-manifolds, related to the regular embedding of gems $\Gamma$ representing $M$ on a surface $S$ such that the face-cycles at all the vertices…

Let $R$ be a standard graded algebra over an $F$-finite field of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $\phi:R\to R$ be the Frobenius endomorphism. For each finitely generated graded $R$-module $M$, let ${}^{\phi}\!M$ be the abelian group $M$ with…

We investigate subgroups of the group PLo(I) of piecewise-linear, orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of the unit interval with finitely many breaks in slope, under the operation of composition, and also subgroups of the generalized…

We show that, in many situations, a homeomorphism $f$ of a manifold $M$ may be recovered from the (marked) isomorphism class of a finitely generated group of homeomorphisms containing $f$. As an application, we relate the notions of {\em…

We give the first examples of Fano manifolds with multiple optimal tori, i.e.~we construct monotone Lagrangian tori $L$, such that the weighted number of holomorphic Maslov index two discs with boundary on $L$ equals the upper bound given…

This article follows and completes [arXiv:2511.14222], where we study the problem of bounded deviations for homeomorphisms of closed surfaces of genus $\ge 2$. This second part deals with bounded deviations relative to geodesic minimal…

We study algebraic properties of groups of PL or smooth homeomorphisms of unit cubes in any dimension, fixed pointwise on the boundary, and more generally PL or smooth groups acting on manifolds and fixing pointwise a submanifold of…

In this paper, we explore holomorphic Segre preserving maps. First, we investigate holomorphic Segre preserving maps sending the complexification $\mathcal{M}$ of a generic real analytic submanifold $M \subseteq \C^N$ of finite type at some…

Let $\varphi\colon\Gamma\to G$ be a homomorphism of groups. In this paper we introduce the notion of a subnormal map (the inclusion of a subnormal subgroup into a group being a basic prototype). We then consider factorizations…

A homeomorphism of a 3-manifold M is said to be Dehn twists on the boundary when its restriction to the boundary of M is isotopic to the identity on the complement of a collection of disjoint simple closed curves in the boundary of M. In…

Consider a sequence of closed, orientable surfaces of fixed genus $g$ in a Riemannian manifold $M$ with uniform upper bounds on mean curvature and area. We show that on passing to a subsequence and choosing appropriate parametrisations, the…

In this paper, we construct cw-expansive homeomorphisms on compact surfaces of genus greater than or equal to zero with a fixed point whose local stable set is connected but not locally connected. This provides an affirmative answer to…

Let $f,g:X \to Y$ be continuous mappings. We say that $f$ is topologically equivalent to $g$ if there exist homeomorphisms $\Phi : X\to X$ and $\Psi: Y\to Y$ such that $\Psi\circ f\circ \Phi=g.$ Let $X,Y$ be complex smooth irreducible…

This is the first article of a series of two where we study the problem of bounded deviations for homeomorphisms of closed surfaces of genus $\ge 2$. This first part studies bounded deviations with respect to closed geodesics. As a…

Let $N$ and $P$ be smooth closed manifolds of dimensions $n$ and $p$ respectively. Given a Thom-Boardman symbol $I$, a smooth map $f:N\to P$ is called an $\Omega^{I}$-regular map if and only if the Thom-Boardman symbol of each singular…

We study the stable translation length of homeomorphisms of a surface acting on the fine nonseparating curve graph and compare it to the stable translation lengths of its finite approximations - mapping classes relative to a finite…

We show the triviality of representations of the mapping class group of a genus $g$ surface in $GL(n,C), Diff(S^2)$ and $Homeo(T^2)$ when appropriate restrictions on the genus $g$ and the size of $n$ hold. For example, if $S_g$ is a surface…

For $M$ being a closed manifold or the Euclidean space we present a detailed proof of regularity properties of the composition of $H^s$-regular diffeomorphisms of $M$ for $s > 1/2\dim M + 1$.

We discuss a PL analogue of Morse theory for PL manifolds. There are several notions of regular and critical points. A point is homologically regular if the homology does not change when passing through its level, it is strongly regular if…
