We define formal orbifolds over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic as curves together with some branch data. Their \'etale coverings and their fundamental groups are also defined. These fundamental group approximates…

We classify all non-degenerate skew-hermitian forms defined over certain local rings, not necessarily commutative, and study some of the fundamental properties of the associated unitary groups, including their orders when the ring in…

We consider the class of complete discretely valued fields such that the residue field is of prime characteristic p and the cardinality of a $p$-base is 1. This class includes two-dimensional local and local-global fields. A new definition…

We study fundamental groups of non compact Riemannian manifolds. We find conditions which ensure that the fundamental group is trivial, finite or finitely generated.

We build a concrete and natural model for the strict 2-category of orbifolds. In particular we prove that if one localizes the 2-category of proper etale Lie groupoids at a class of 1-arrows that we call "covers", then the strict 2-category…

In \cite{KP}, the last two authors introduced formal orbifold curves defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristics. They studied both \'etale and Nori fundamental group schemes associated to such objects. Our aim…

We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete…

In recent years a lot of attention has been paid to topological spaces which are a bit more general than smooth manifolds - orbifolds. Orbifolds are intuitively speaking manifolds with some singularities. The formal definition is also…

We develop the rudiments of a finite-dimensional representation theory of groups over idempotent semifields by considering linear actions on tropical linear spaces. This can be considered a tropical representation theory, a characteristic…

We define the abelian fundamental group with modulus of a regular flat scheme over a discrete valuation ring, taking into account wild ramification along a divisor. Our definition provides a mixed-characteristic analogue of the abelian…

We give a characterization of genuinely ramified maps of formal orbifolds in the Tannakian framework. In particular we show that a morphism is genuinely ramified if and only if the pullback of every stable bundle remains stable in the…

We provide a complete system of invariants for the formal classification of complex analytic unipotent germs of diffeomorphism at $\cn{n}$ fixing the orbits of a regular vector field. We reduce the formal classification problem to solve a…

Orbifolds of two-dimensional quantum field theories have a natural formulation in terms of defects or domain walls. This perspective allows for a rich generalisation of the orbifolding procedure, which we study in detail for the case of…

This survey is about the fundamentals of the theory of finite dimensional Lie groups over the field of real numbers. The notion of the tangent space of a manifold at a point is considered to be defined via the well known chart and vector…

We study groups of germs of complex diffeomorphisms having a property called irreducibility. The notion is motivated by a similar property of the fundamental group of the complement of an irreducible hypersurface in the complex projective…

We exhibit a family of metrizable manifolds such that any finite group appears as the fundamental group of one of them. These spaces are especially interesting as they can be easily visualized, as opposed to classical examples of spaces…

Structural properties of unitary groups over local, not necessarily commutative, rings are developed, with applications to the computation of the orders of these groups (when finite) and to the degrees of the irreducible constituents of the…

We prove Bertini type theorems and give some applications of them. The applications are in the context of Lefschetz theorem for Nori fundamental group for normal varieties as well as for geometric formal orbifolds. In another application,…

This is a paper in a series that studies smooth relative Lie algebra homologies and cohomologies based on the theory of formal manifolds and formal Lie groups. In three previous papers, we introduce the notion of formal manifolds and study…

In this article, we give a bound for the wild ramification of the monodromy action on the nearby cycles complex of a locally constant \'etale sheaf on the generic fiber of a smooth scheme over an equal characteristic trait in terms of Abbes…
