A projective manifold $M$ is algebraically hyperbolic if there exists a positive constant $A$ such that the degree of any curve of genus $g$ on $M$ is bounded from above by $A(g-1)$. A classical result is that Kobayashi hyperbolicity…

We study the possible dimensions that the groups of holomorphic automorphisms of hyperbolic Reinhardt domains can have. We are particularly interested in the problem of characterizing Reinhardt domains with automorphism group of prescribed…

We explicitly classify all pairs $(M,G)$, where $M$ is a connected complex manifold of dimension $n\ge 2$ and $G$ is a connected Lie group acting properly and effectively on $M$ by holomorphic transformations and having dimension $d_G$…

In an earlier article the second author introduced three families of tube domains in ${\mathbf C}^2$ with holomorphic automorphism group isomorphic to ${\mathbf R}\ltimes{\mathbf R}^2$ and envelope of holomorphy equal to ${\mathbf C}^2$. In…

Let $\mathcal{M}_{n,d}$ be the moduli space of semi-stable rank $n$, trace-free Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of degree $d$ on a Riemann surface of genus at least $3$. We determine the following automorphism groups of…

We show that the group of holomorphic automorphisms of a Stein manifold X of dimension greater than 1 is infinite-dimensional, provided X is a homogeneous space of a holomorphic action of a complex Lie group.

Using the quaternionic formalism for the description of the group of isometries of hyperbolic $5$-space we consider arithmetically defined $5$-dimensional hyperbolic manifolds which are non-compact but of finite volume. They arise from…

This paper is subsequent to [5]. In this paper, we extend the classification of hyperbolic Dehn fillings with sufficiently large coefficients by addressing the remaining case not covered in [5]. Specifically, by considering the case in…

Since there is no hyperbolic Dehn filling theorem for higher dimensions, it is challenging to construct explicit hyperbolic manifolds of small volume in dimension at least four. Here, we build up closed hyperbolic 4-manifolds of volume…

Let Diff(N) and Homeo(N) denote the smooth and topological group of automorphisms respectively that fix the boundary of the n-manifold N, pointwise. We show that the (n-4)-th homotopy group of Homeo(S^1 \times D^{n-1}) is not…

Consider a holomorphic contact manifold. Holomorphic discs tangent to the contact planes define a pseudometric on the manifold. This pseudometric integrates to a pseudodistance. When the pseudodistance is a distance, we call the contact…
