Let $BS(1,n)= \langle a,b : a b a ^{-1} = b ^n\rangle$ be the solvable Baumslag-Solitar group for $n \geq 2$. We study representations of $BS(1, n)$ on the plane by orientation preserving homeomorphisms, assuming that $a$ acts as a linear…

Let $BS(1,n)= <a,b : a b a ^{-1} = b ^n>$ be the solvable Baumslag-Solitar group, where $n \geq 2$. We study representations of $BS(1, n)$ by homeomorphisms of closed surfaces with (pseudo-)Anosov elements. That is, we consider a closed…

We consider $f, h$ homeomorphims generating a faithful $BS(1,n)$-action on a closed surface $S$, that is, $h f h^{-1} = f^n$, for some $ n\geq 2$. According to \cite{GL}, after replacing $f$ by a suitable iterate if necessary, we can assume…

Let $BS(1,n) =< a, b \ | \ aba^{-1} = b^n >$ be the solvable Baumslag-Solitar group, where $ n\geq 2$. It is known that BS(1,n) is isomorphic to the group generated by the two affine maps of the real line: $f_0(x) = x + 1$ and $h_0(x) = nx…

We study the dependence of geometric quantization of the standard symplectic torus on the choice of invariant polarization. Real and mixed polarizations are interpreted as degenerate complex structures. Using a weak version of the equations…

Harris and Taylor proved that the supercuspidal part of the cohomology of the Lubin-Tate tower realizes both the local Langlands and Jacquet-Langlands correspondences, as conjectured by Carayol. Recently, Boyer computed the remaining part…

We study convergent sequences of Baumslag-Solitar groups in the space of marked groups. We prove that BS(m,n) --> F_2 for |m|,|n| --> \infty and BS(1,n) --> Z \wr Z for |n| --> \infty. For m fixed, |m|>1, we show that the sequence…

In this article, we solve the twisted conjugacy problem for solvable Baumslag--Solitar groups $BS(n,1)$, i.e., we propose an algorithm which, given two elements $u,v \in BS(n,1)$ and an automorphism $\varphi \in \Aut(BS(n,1))$, decides…

In this paper we consider the analytic continuation of the weighted Bergman spaces on the Lie ball $$\mathscr{D}=SO(2,n)/S(O(2) \times O(n))$$ and the corresponding holomorphic unitary (projective) representations of SO(2,n) on these…

For a surface $S$ of sufficient complexity, Dehn twists act elliptically on the arc, curve, and relative arc graph of $S$. We show that composing a Dehn twist with a shift map results in a loxodromic isometry of the relative arc graph…

We classify the finite-dimensional irreducible linear representations of the Baumslag-Solitar groups BS(p,q) = < a, b | a b^p = b^q a > for relatively prime p and q. The general strategy of the argument is to consider the matrix group given…

We obtain the rectifiability of the graph of a bounded variation homeomorphism $f$ in the plane and relations between gradients of $f$ and its inverse. Further, we show an example of a bounded variation homeomorphism $f$ in the plane which…

Examples are given of tent maps $T$ for which there exist non-trivial sets $B \subset [0,1]$ such that $T:B \to B$ is a homeomorphism.

We show that for each fixed non-constant complex polynomial $P$ of the plane there exists a homeomorphism $h$ such that $P\circ h$ is a Lipschitz quotient mapping. This corrects errors in the construction given earlier by Johnson et. al.…

The first goal of this paper is to give a short description of the planar bi-Sobolev homeomorphisms, providing simple and self-contained proofs for some already known properties. In particular, for any such homeomorphism $u:\Omega\to…

We show an example of a symmetric homeomorphism $h$ of the real line $\mathbb{R}$ onto itself such that $h^{-1}$ is not symmetric. This implies that the set of all symmetric self-homeomorphisms of $\mathbb{R}$ does not constitute a group…

In this article, we solve the twisted conjugacy problem with respect to endomorphisms for solvable Baumslag--Solitar groups $BS(1,n)$, i.e., we propose an algorithm which, given two elements $u,v \in BS(1,n)$ and an endomorphism $\psi \in…

Anderson and Canary have shown that if the algebraic limit of a sequence of discrete, faithful representations of a finitely generated group into PSL(2,C) does not contain parabolics, then it is also the sequence's geometric limit. We…

We study Banach representability for actions of topological groups on groups by automorphisms (in particular, actions of groups on itself by conjugations). Every such action is Banach representable on some Banach space. The natural question…

Given a 3-holed sphere decomposition of an orientable closed surface, it is shown that each orientation preserving homeomorphism of the surface is isotopic to a composition AB where A is a product of positive Dehn twists and B is a product…
