In this paper, we investigate automorphisms of compact K\"ahler manifolds with different levels of topological triviality. In particular, we provide several examples of smooth complex projective surfaces X whose groups of…
We classify isotopy classes of automorphisms (self-homeomorphisms) of 3-manifolds satisfying the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture. The classification is similar to the classification of automorphisms of surfaces developed by Nielsen and…
In this article we show how to calculate the group of automorphisms of flat K\"ahler manifolds. Moreover we are interested in the problem of classification of such manifolds up to biholomorphism. We consider these problems from two points…
We prove that the automorphism group of a topological parallelism on real projective 3-space is compact. In a preceding article it was proved that at least the connected component of the identity is compact. The present proof does not…
The main result of this paper is that the identity component of the automorphism group of a compact, connected, strictly pseudoconvex CR manifold is compact unless the manifold is CR equivalent to the standard sphere. In dimensions greater…
We classify the normal CR structures on $S^3$ and their automorphism groups. Together with [3], this closes the classification of normal CR structures on contact 3-manifolds. We give a criterion to compare 2 normal CR structures, and we…
We conjecture that the automorphism group of a topological parallelism on real projective 3-space is compact. We prove that at least the identity component of this group is, indeed, compact.
If $f$ is an automorphism of a compact simply connected K\"ahler manifold with trivial canonical bundle that fixes a K\"ahler class, then the order of $f$ is finite. We apply this well known result to construct compact non-K\"ahler…
We construct examples of two-step and three-step nilpotent Lie groups whose automorphism groups are `small' in the sense of either not having a dense orbit for the action on the Lie group, or being nilpotent (the latter being stronger).…
Consider a connected manifold of dimension at least two and the group of compactly supported diffeomorphisms that are compactly supported isotopic to the identity. This group acts $n$-transitive: Any tuple of $n$ points can be moved to any…
We show that if the group of holomorphic automorphisms of a connected complex manifold $M$ of dimension $n$ is isomorphic as a topological group equipped with the compact-open topology to the automorphism group of the unit ball…
We give an algebro-geometric approach towards the dynamics of automorphisms/endomorphisms of projective varieties or compact K\"ahler manifolds, try to determine the building blocks of automorphisms /endomorphisms, and show the relation…
In this paper we prove the following rigidity theorem: a generic analytic polyhedron with non-compact automorphism group is biholomorphic to the product of a complex manifold with compact automorphism group and a polydisk. Moreover, this…
We show that a compact Kaehler manifold X is a complex torus if both the continuous part and discrete part of some automorphism group G of X are infinite groups, unless X is bimeromorphic to a non-trivial G-equivariant fibration. Some…
A diffeomorphism $f$ of a compact manifold $X$ is pseudo-isotopic to the identity if there is a diffeomorphism $F$ of $X\times I$ which restricts to $f$ on $X\times 1$, and which restricts to the identity on $X\times 0$ and $\partial…
If G is a (connected) complex Lie Group and Z is a generalized flag manifold for G, the the open orbits D of a (connected) real form G_0 of G form an interesting class of complex homogeneous spaces, which play an important role in the…
We survey some properties of the automorphism groups of compact Kaehler manifolds. In particular, we present recent results by Keum, Oguiso and Zhang on the structure of these groups from the Tits alternative point of view. Several other…
In this paper we explore the topological properties of self-replicating, 3-dimensional manifolds, which are modeled by idempotents in the (2+1)-cobordism category. We give a classification theorem for all such idempotents. Additionally, we…
We classify compact K\"ahler threefolds $X$ with a free group of automorphisms acting freely on $X$.
We study groups of bimeromorphic and biholomorphic automorphisms of projective hyperk\"ahler manifolds. Using an action of these groups on some non-positively curved space, we deduce many of their properties, including finite presentation,…
