We show for a free action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a finite-dimensional, compact metric space by homeomorphisms that the dynamic asymptotic dimension is either infinite or coincides with the asymptotic dimension of $\Gamma$.
This paper deals with combinatorial aspects of finite covers of groups by cosets or subgroups. Let $a_1G_1,...,a_kG_k$ be left cosets in a group $G$ such that ${a_iG_i}_{i=1}^k$ covers each element of $G$ at least $m$ times but none of its…
In many situations, the monodromy group of enumerative problems will be the full symmetric group. In this paper, we study a similar phenomenon on the rational curves in $|\mathcal{O}(1)|$ on a generic K3 surface of fixed genus over…
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 $\mathbb{K}$ be the algebraic closure of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of odd characteristic $p$. For a positive integer $m$ prime to $p$, let $F=\mathbb{K}(x,y)$ be the transcendency degree $1$ function field defined by…
Let X be an arbitrary hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let G be a countable non-elementary weakly acylindrical group of isometries of X. We show that the second bounded cohomology group of G with real coefficients or with coefficients…
We consider Siegel upper half space of rank two ${\cal H}^2$ and different subgroups $H\subseteq {\bf Sp(4,Z)}$ of finite index. The purpose of this paper is to prove that the field of rational functions of ${\cal H}^2/H$ has general type…
We show that the fundamental group of every enumeratively rationally connected closed symplectic manifold is finite. In other words, if a closed symplectic manifold has a non-zero Gromov-Witten invariant with two point insertions, then it…
We define, for any group $G$, finite approximations ; with this tool, we give a new presentation of the profinite completion $\hat{\pi} : G \to \hat{G}$ of an abtract group $G$. We then prove the following theorem : if $k$ is a finite prime…
This paper contains a purely topological theorem and a geometric application. The topological theorem states that if M is a simple closed orientable 3-manifold such that \pi_1(M) contains a genus g surface group and H_1(M;Z/2Z) has rank at…
Let $N_{g,n}$ denote the nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ boundary components and $M(N_{g,n})$ its mapping class group. We obtain an explicit finite presentation of $M(N_{g,n})$ for $n=0,1$ and all $g$ such that $g+n>3$.
We use algebraic techniques to study homological filling functions of groups and their subgroups. If $G$ is a group admitting a finite $(n+1)$--dimensional $K(G,1)$ and $H \leq G$ is of type $F_{n+1}$, then the $n^{th}$--homological filling…
There are two main results. The first states that isotropy subgroups of groups acting transitively on a rationally hyperbolic spaces have infinitely generated rational cohomology algebra. Using this fact, we prove that the analogous…
We give a complete classification of finite subgroups of automorphisms of K3 surfaces up to deformation. The classification is in terms of Hodge theoretic data associated to certain conjugacy classes of finite subgroups of the orthogonal…
We completely classify the locally finite, infinite graphs with pure mapping class groups admitting a coarsely bounded generating set. We also study algebraic properties of the pure mapping class group: We establish a semidirect product…
In 2009, Dolgachev-Keum showed that finite groups of tame symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces in positive characteristics are subgroups of the Mathieu group of degree 23. In this paper, we utilize lattice-theoretic methods to…
We show that Nichols algebras of most simple Yetter-Drinfeld modules over the projective special linear group over a finite field, corresponding to semisimple orbits, have infinite dimension. We introduce a new criterium to determine when a…
We prove the following three closely related results. The first is that every finite simple group has a profinite presentation with 2 generators and at most 18 relations. The second is that if G is a finite simple group, F a field and M an…
Given any linear isometry from a Hilbert space to its square one can explicitly construct a so-called Pythagorean unitary representation of Richard Thompson's group F. We introduce a condition on the isometry implying that the associated…
We investigate the homology of finite index subgroups G_i of a given finitely presented group G. Specifically, we examine d_p(G_i), which is the dimension of the first homology of G_i, with mod p coefficients. We say that a collection of…
