It was proved by Tien-Cuong Dinh and me that there is a smooth complex projective surface whose automorphism group is discrete and not finitely generated. In this paper, we will show that there is a smooth projective surface, birational to…
We study the real dynamics of a family of rational surface automorphisms obtained from quadratic birational maps of $\pcc$ that preserve a cuspidal cubic and whose critical orbits have lengths $(1,m,n)$ with $1+m+n\ge 10$. Passing to the…
Let A be a supersingular abelian variety over a finite field k. We give an approximate description of the structure of the group A(k) of rational points of A over k in terms of the characteristic polynomial f of the Frobenius endomorphism…
We study the automorphisms group action on a bounded domain in $\CC^n$ having a boundary point that is exponentially flat. Such a domain typically has a compact automorphism group. Our results enable us to generate many new examples.
In this manuscript we prove that if two cuspidal plane curves have equivalent braid monodromy factorizations, then they are smoothly isotopic in the plane. As a consequence of this and the Chisini conjecture, we obtain that if two…
We obtain the list of automorphism groups for smooth plane sextic curves over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic p=0 or p>21. Moreover, we assign to each group a geometrically complete family over K describing its…

This paper deals with affine connections on real manifolds. We give a new characterization of flat affine connections on real manifolds by means of certain affine representations of the Lie group of automorphisms preserving the connection.…
A closed affine manifold is a closed manifold with coordinate patches into affine space whose transition maps are restrictions of affine automorphisms. Such a structure gives rise to a local diffeomorphism from the universal cover of the…
We prove that the plane Cremona group over a perfect field with at least one Galois extension of degree 8 is a non-trivial amalgam, and that it admits a surjective morphism to a free product of groups of order two.
In this paper we consider smooth affine elliptic plane curves having one place at infinity. We identify them with elliptic projective plane curves having only one cusp as their singular points and meeting with the line at infinity only at…
Let k be an arbitrary field of characteristic zero. In this paper we study quotients of k-rational conic bundles over projective line by finite groups of automorphisms. We construct smooth minimal models for such quotients. We show that any…
In the previous paper [E-print alg-geom/9507004] we classified the rational cuspidal plane curves C with a cusp of multiplicity deg C - 2. In particular, we showed that any such curve can be transformed into a line by Cremona…
The paper studies a relation between fundamental group of the complement to a plane singular curve and the orbifold pencils containing it. The main tool is the use of Albanese varieties of cyclic covers ramified along such curves. Our…
Given a smooth curve, the canonical representation of its automorphism group is the space of global holomorphic differential 1-forms as a representation of the automorphism group of the curve. In this paper, we study an explicit set of…
We propose a simple criterion to know if an abelian variety $A$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is cyclic, i.e., it has a cyclic group of rational points; this criterion is based on the endomorphism ring End$_{\mathbb{F}_q}(A)$.…
Our main result is the following: let X be a normal affine toric surface without torus factor. Then there exists a non-normal affine toric surface X' with automorphism group isomorphic to the automorphism group of X if and only if X is…
Motivated by the study of the structure of algebraic actions the additive group on affine threefolds X, we consider a special class of such varieties whose algebraic quotient morphisms X $\rightarrow$ X//Ga restrict to principal homogeneous…
The polynomial automorphisms of the affine plane over a field K form a group which has the structure of an amalgamated free product. This well-known algebraic structure can be used to determine some key results about the symmetry and…
