This article studies automorphism groups of graph products of arbitrary groups. We completely characterise automorphisms that preserve the set of conjugacy classes of vertex groups as those automorphisms that can be decomposed as a product…
We investigate CAT(0) metric spaces whose associated Tits boundary is compact. Prominent examples of such spaces are of course the euclidean ones. However there exist non trivial geodesically complete CAT(0) spaces with compact Tits…
Let G be a discrete group. We give methods to compute for a generalized (co-)homology theory its values on the Borel construction (EG x X)/G of a proper G-CW-complex X satisfying certain finiteness conditions. In particular we give formulas…
We give an example of an Ahlfors $3$-regular, linearly locally connected metric space homeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^3$ containing a nondegenerate continuum $E$ with zero capacity, in the sense that the conformal modulus of the set of…
Let $X$ be a \text{\rm{2}}-connected and \text{\rm{6}}-dimensional CW-complex $X$ such that $H_{3}(X)\otimes\Z_2=0$. This paper aims to describe the group $\E(X)$ of the self-homotopy equivalences of $X$ modulo its normal subgroup…
For any connected and simply connected parasymplectic space $(\mathrm{X},\omega)$ with group of periods $\mathrm{P}_\omega \subsetneq \mathbf{R}$, we construct a prequantum groupoid $\pmb{\mathrm{T}}_\omega$ as a diffeological quotient of…
We show that any split extension of a right-angled Coxeter group $W_{\Gamma}$ by a generating automorphism of finite order acts faithfully and geometrically on a $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ metric space.
Let $X$ be a $n$ dimensional compact local Hermitian symmetric space of non-compact type and $L=\shO(K_X)\tens\shO(qM)$ be an adjoint line bundle. Let $c>0$ be a constant. Assume the curvature of $M$ is $\ge c\omega$, where $\omega$ is the…
Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. Given a big cohomology class $\{\theta\}$, there is a natural equivalence relation on the space of $\theta$-psh functions giving rise to $\mathcal S(X,\theta)$, the space of singularity types of…
We prove two results about the natural representation of a group G of automorphisms of a normal projective threefold X on its second cohomology. We show that if X is minimal then G, modulo a normal subgroup of null entropy, is embedded as a…
We study fixed point properties of the automorphism group of the universal Coxeter group Aut$(W_n)$. In particular, we prove that whenever Aut$(W_n)$ acts by isometries on complete $d$-dimensional CAT$(0)$ space with…
We show that, under weak assumptions, the automorphism group of a ${\rm CAT(0)}$ cube complex $X$ coincides with the automorphism group of Hagen's contact graph $\mathcal{C}(X)$. The result holds, in particular, for universal covers of…

Let $G$ be a Kac-Moody group over a finite field corresponding to a generalized Cartan matrix $A$, as constructed by Tits. It is known that $G$ admits the structure of a BN-pair, and acts on its corresponding building. We study the complete…
Let X be a homogeneous space of a connected linear algebraic group G' over a number field k, containing a k-point x. Assume that the stabilizer of x in G' is connected. Using the notion of a quasi-trivial group, recently introduced by…
Automorphism groups of locally finite trees provide a large class of examples of simple totally disconnected locally compact groups. It is desirable to understand the connections between the global and local structure of such a group.…
Let G be a group and let M be a CAT(0) proper metric space (e.g. a simply connected complete Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature or a locally finite tree). Isometric actions of G on M are (by definition) points in the…
Let E be the supersingular elliptic curve defined over k, the algebraic closure of the finite field with two elements, which is unique up to k-isomorphism. Denote by 0 its identity element and let C be the quotient of E-{0} under the action…
We prove that if a geodesically complete $\mathrm{CAT}(0)$ space $X$ admits a proper cocompact isometric action of a group, then the Izeki-Nayatani invariant of $X$ is less than $1$. Let $G$ be a finite connected graph, $\mu_1 (G)$ be the…
Let $G$ be a finite $p$-group and $k$ be a field of characteristic $p$. A topological space $X$ is called an $n$-Moore space if its reduced homology is nonzero only in dimension $n$. We call a $G$-CW-complex $X$ an $\underline{n}$-Moore…
