This paper appears as the confluence of hyperbolic dynamics, symplectic topology and low dimensional topology, etc. We show that composite symplectic Dehn twists have certain form of nonuniform hyperbolicity: it has positive topological…

In this paper, we obtain explicit branching laws for all irreducible unitary representations of $\Spin(N,1)$ restricted to a parabolic subgroup $P$. The restriction turns out to be a finite direct sum of irreducible unitary representations…

The Burau representation enables to define many other representations of the braid group $B_n$ by the topological operation of ``cabling braids''. We show here that these representations split into copies of the Burau representation itself…

We consider irreducible unitary representations $A_i$ of G=SO(n+1,1) with the same infinitesimal character as the trivial representation and representations $B_j$ of H=SO(n,1) with the same properties and discuss H-equivariant homomorphisms…

We extend Baumgartner's result on isomorphisms of aleph_1 dense subsets of the reals R in two ways: First, the function can be made to be absolutely continuous. Second, one can replace R by R^n.

Contractions of Leibniz algebras and Courant algebroids by means of (1,1)-tensors are introduced and studied. An appropriate version of Nijenhuis tensors leads to natural deformations of Dirac structures and Lie bialgebroids. One recovers…

We show that there exists a planar Jordan domains $\Omega$ with boundary of Hausdorff dimension $1$ such that, for any conformal maps $\varphi \colon \mathbb D \to \Omega$, any homeomorphic extension of $\varphi$ or $\varphi^{-1}$ to the…

In this paper we determine for relatively minimal elliptic surfaces with positive Euler number the image of the natural representation of the group of orientation preserving self-diffeomorphisms on $\Hbar$, the second homology group reduced…

We show that, for certain families $\phi_{\mathbf{s}}$ of diffeomorphisms of high-dimensional spheres, the commutator of the Dehn twist along the zero-section of $T^*S^n$ with the family of pullbacks $\phi^*_{\mathbf{s}}$ gives a…

We prove the representation given by a stable $\alpha_1$-cyclic parabolic $\mathrm{SO}_0(2,3)$-Higgs bundle through the non-Abelian Hodge correspondence is $\{\alpha_2\}$-almost dominated. This is a generalization of Filip's result on…

We analyze among all possible quantum deformations of the 3+1 (anti)de Sitter algebras, so(3,2) and so(4,1), which have two specific non-deformed or primitive commuting operators: the time translation/energy generator and a rotation. We…

We answer a question of Calderoni and Clay by showing that the conjugation equivalence relation of left orderings of the Baumslag-Solitar groups $\mathrm{BS}(1,n)$ is hyperfinite for any $n$. Our proof relies on a classification of…

Let X be a path-connected topological space admitting a universal cover. Let Homeo(X,a) denote the group of homeomorphisms of X preserving degree one cohomology class a. We investigate the distortion in Homeo(X,a). Let g be an element of…

We investigate the solution sets to equations in the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $BS(1,k)$, $k\geq2$, and show that these sets are represented by EDT0L languages in some cases. In particular, we prove that the multiplication table of…

Unital endomorphisms of the Cuntz algebra O_n which preserve the canonical UHF-subalgebra F_n of O_n are investigated. We give examples of such endomorphisms for which the associated unitary element in O_n does not belong to F_n. One such…

We study the structure of weakly-closed nonself-adjoint algebras arising from representations of single vertex 2-graphs. These are the algebras generated by 2 isometric tuples which satisfy a certain commutation relation. We show that these…

Deformed orthogonal and pseudo-orthogonal Lie algebras are constructed which differ from deformations of Lie algebras in terms of Cartan subalgebra and root vectors and which make it possible to construct representations by operators acting…

The coadjoint orbits for the series $B_l,\ C_l$ and $D_l$ are considered in the case when the base point is a multiple of a fundamental weight. A quantization of the big cell is suggested by means of introducing a $\ast$-algebra generated…

We study the cohomological equation for discrete horocycle maps on $SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ and $SL(2,\mathbb R)\times SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ via representation theory. Specifically, we prove Hilbert Sobolev non-tame estimates for solutions of the…

We consider minimisers of the $p$-exponential conformal energy for homeomorphisms $f:R \to S$ of finite distortion $\IK(z,f)$ between analytically finite Riemann surfaces in a fixed homotopy class $[f_0]$,\[ \mE_p(f:R,S)=\int_R…
