We prove:(1) the existence, for every integer n > 3, of a noncompact smooth n-dimensional topological manifold whose diffeomorphism group contains an isomorphic copy of every finitely presented group; (2) a finiteness theorem on finite…

For a mixing shift of finite type, the associated automorphism group has a rich algebraic structure, and yet we have few criteria to distinguish when two such groups are isomorphic. We introduce a stabilization of the automorphism group,…

We establish basic facts about the varieties of homogeneous polynomials divisible by powers of linear forms, and explain consequences for geometric complexity theory. This includes quadratic set-theoretic equations, a description of the…

We expound a concise construction of finite groups and groupoids whose Cayley graphs satisfy graded acyclicity requirements. Our acyclicity criteria concern cyclic patterns formed by coset-like configurations w.r.t. subsets of the generator…

The purpose of this note is to provide exposition for a proof of the statement in the title. This idea, that arbitrary cohomology classes (of high enough degree) of a finite group $G$ can be trivialized in a finite group extension, has been…

Our main result is to show that every infinite, countable, residually finite group $G$ admits a Hausdorff group topology which is neither discrete nor precompact.

In this paper, we explain the importance of finite decomposition semigroups and present two theorems related to their structure.

We complete the description of group gradings on finite-dimensional incidence algebras. Moreover, we classify the finite-dimensional graded algebras that can be realized as incidence algebras endowed with a group grading.

We present a complete classification of complex projective surfaces $X$ with nontrivial self-maps (i.e. surjective morphisms $f:X\rightarrow X$ which are not isomorphisms) of any given degree. The starting point of our classification are…

By recognizing them as fundamental groups of developable complexes of groups we prove that mapping class groups of compact orientable surfaces have finite asymptotic dimension.

I show that one can explicitly construct topologically/geometrically distinguishable data which provide isomorphic copies (i.e. \emph{isomorphs}) of the tempered fundamental group of a geometrically connected, smooth, quasi-projective…

We find sharp upper bounds on the order of the automorphism group of a hypersurface in complex projective space in every dimension and degree. In each case, we prove that the hypersurface realizing the upper bound is unique up to…

We give a survey of recent results related to the problem of characterizing finite-dimensional division algebras by the set of isomorphism classes of their maximal subfields. We also discuss various generalizations of this problem and some…

We prove that there is no algorithm that can determine whether or not a finitely presented group has a non-trivial finite quotient; indeed, this remains undecidable among the fundamental groups of compact, non-positively curved square…

We construct a series of examples of non--flat non--homogeneous parabolic geometries that carry a symmetry of the parabolic geometry at each point.

This article studies a large, general class of orthogonal polytopes which we may call "generic orthotopes". These objects emerged from a desire to represent a Coxeter complex by an orthogonal polytope that is particularly nice with respect…

We determine (non-necessarily convex) polyhedra having simple dense geodesics.

Finite trigonometric Fourier series on a set of discrete equidistant points are considered. A finite system of orthogonal functions that have interpolation and certain differential properties on the period is introduced. Finite Fourier…

We describe the structure of finite dimensional selfinjective algebras over an arbitrary field without short cycles of indecomposable modules.

We begin by defining general hypergeometric functions over finite fields and obtaining a finite field analogue of a classical symmetry in their complex counterparts. We give a geometric proof for the symmetry by constructing isomorphisms…
