Building on previous work of Kadison--Ringrose, Elliott, Akemann--Pedersen, and this author, we prove a dichotomy for the relation of outer equivalence of derivations and unitary equivalence of derivable automorphisms for a separable…

In a central lemma we characterize "generating functions" of certain functors on the category of algebraic non-commutative probability spaces. Special families of such generating functions correspond to "unital, associative universal…

We provide a systematic description of the automorphism groups of specially cocompact CAT(0) cube complexes. We show that these groups are topologically finitely generated, present a method to explicitly obtain generating sets, and prove a…

We present new examples of generic diffeomorphisms without attractors. Also, we study how these wild classes are accumulated by infinitely many other classes (obtaining that the chain recurrence classes different from the only…

Global control offers a promising route to scalable quantum computing. A recent conjecture by Hu et al. (arXiv:2508.19075) proposes that any connected qubit graph equipped with global Ising-type interactions and tunable global transverse…

We find new "reasons" for a class of models for not having a universal model in a cardinal $\lambda$. This work, though it has consequences in model theory, is really in combinatorial set theory. We concentrate on a prototypical class which…

Suppose that a finite group $G$ admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms FH of coprime order with cyclic kernel F and complement H such that the fixed point subgroup $C_G(H)$ of the complement is nilpotent of class $c$. It is proved that…

We prove that if $f:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ is convex and $A\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ has finite measure, then for any $\varepsilon>0$ there is a convex function $g:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ of class $C^{1,1}$ such that $\mathcal{L}^n(\{x\in…

Quantum cat maps are toy models in quantum chaos associated to hyperbolic symplectic matrices $A\in \operatorname{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{Z})$. The macroscopic limits of sequences of eigenfunctions of a quantum cat map are characterized by…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ ($q$ is odd) and let $K=\mathbb{F}_q(C)$ be its function field. Removing one closed point $C^\text{af} = C-\{\infty\}$ results in an integral domain…

For $w$ in the symmetric group $S_n$, let $\widetilde C_w$ be the corresponding modified, signless Kazhdan--Lusztig basis element of the type-$A$ Hecke algebra $H_n(q)$. An extension [Ann. Comb. 25, no. 3 (2021) pp. 757--787] of a result of…

We give a short proof of a theorem of Handel and Mosher stating that any finitely generated subgroup of $\text{Out}(F_N)$ either contains a fully irreducible automorphism, or virtually fixes the conjugacy class of a proper free factor of…

The inner automorphisms of a group G can be characterized within the category of groups without reference to group elements: they are precisely those automorphisms of G that can be extended, in a functorial manner, to all groups H given…

Let $w(\zeta)$ be a function analytic on $\mathbb D$, $|w(\zeta)|\le 1$. Let $|t_0|=1$. Assume that $w$ and $w'$ have nontangential boundary values $w_0$ and $w'_0$, respectively, at $t_0$, $|w_0|=1$. Then (Carath\'eodory - Julia)…

Let $M$ be a factor with separable predual and $G$ a compact group of automorphisms of $M$ whose action is minimal, i.e. $M^{G^\prime}\cap M = C$, where $M^G$ denotes the $G$-fixed point subalgebra. Then every intemediate von Neumann…

Let C and D be quasi-categories (a.k.a. infinity-categories). Suppose also that one has an assignment sending commutative diagrams of C to commutative diagrams of D which respects face maps, but not necessarily degeneracy maps. (This is…

Let $G\subset\GL(\BC^r)$ be a finite complex reflection group. We show that when $G$ is irreducible, apart from the exception $G=\Sgot_6$, as well as for a large class of non-irreducible groups, any automorphism of $G$ is the product of a…

The configuration space $\mathcal{C}^n(X)$ of an algebraic curve $X$ is the algebraic variety consisting of all $n$-point subsets $Q\subset X$. We describe the automorphisms of $\mathcal{C}^n(\mathbb{C})$, deduce that the (infinite…

Given an exact category $\mathcal{C}$, it is well known that the connected component reflector $\pi_0\colon\mathsf{Gpd}(\mathcal{C})\to\mathcal{C}$ from the category $\mathsf{Gpd}(\mathcal{C})$ of internal groupoids in $\mathcal{C}$ to the…

We call a finite group G ultrasolvable if it has a characteristic subgroup series whose factors are cyclic. It was shown by Durbin--McDonald that the automorphism group of an ultrasolvable group is supersolvable. The converse statement was…
