A skew morphism of a finite group $A$ is a permutation $\varphi$ of $A$ fixing the identity element and for which there is an integer-valued function $\pi$ on $A$ such that $\varphi(ab)=\varphi(a)\varphi^{\pi(a)}(b)$ for all $a, b \in A$. A…
A skew morphism of a finite group $B$ is a permutation $\varphi$ of $B$ that preserves the identity element of $B$ and has the property that for every $a\in B$ there exists a positive integer $i_a$ such that $\varphi(ab) =…
A skew-morphism of a finite group $G$ is a permutation $\s$ on $G$ fixing the identity element, and for which there exists an integer function $\pi$ on $G$ such that $\s(xy)=\s(x)\s^{\pi(x)}(y)$ for all $x,y\in G$. It has been known that…

A skew morphism of a finite group $B$ is a permutation of $B$ fixing the identity and satisfying $\varphi(xy) = \varphi(x)\varphi^{i_x}(y)$ for some integers $i_x$ indexed by $x \in B$. The enumeration of skew morphisms of finite cyclic…

A cyclic complementary extension of a finite group $A$ is a finite group $G$ which contains $A$ and a cyclic subgroup $C$ such that $A\cap C=\{1_G\}$ and $G=AC$. For any fixed generator $c$ of the cyclic factor $C=\langle c\rangle$ of order…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, $X$ and $Y$ be smooth $K$-varieties, and let $G$ be a algebraic $K$-group. Given two algebraic morphisms $\varphi:X\rightarrow G$ and $\psi:Y\rightarrow G$, we define their convolution…
We provide the main results of a deformation theory of smooth formal schemes. First we deal with the case of global lifting of smooth morphisms. We prove that the obstruction to the existence of a global lifting lies in a Ext^1 group. Then…
We consider the problem of defining the structure of a smooth manifold on the various spaces of piecewise-smooth loops in a smooth finite dimensional manifold. We succeed for a particular type of piecewise-smooth loops. We also examine the…
Skew morphisms, which generalise automorphisms for groups, provide a fundamental tool for the study of regular Cayley maps and, more generally, for finite groups with a complementary factorisation $G=BY$, where $Y$ is cyclic and core-free…
A smooth cuboid can be identified with a $3\times 3$ matrix of linear forms, with coefficients in a field $K$, whose determinant describes a smooth cubic in the projective plane. To each such matrix one can associate a group scheme over…
We define \emph{piecewise rank 1} manifolds, which are aspherical manifolds that generally do not admit a nonpositively curved metric but can be decomposed into pieces that are diffeomorphic to finite volume, irreducible, locally symmetric,…
Let $G$ be a finite group having a factorisation $G=AB$ into subgroups $A$ and $B$ with $B$ cyclic and $A\cap B=1,$ and let $b$ be a generator of $B$. The associated skew-morphism is the bijective mapping $f:A \to A$ well defined by the…
In this article we give a sufficient condition for a morphism $\varphi$ from a smooth variety $X$ to projective space, finite onto a smooth image, to be deformed to an embedding. This result puts some theorems on deformation of morphisms of…
Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, $X$ and $Y$ be smooth $K$-varieties, and let $V$ be a finite dimensional $K$-vector space. For two algebraic morphisms $\varphi:X\rightarrow V$ and $\psi:Y\rightarrow V$ we define a convolution…
Let $RG$ be the group ring of a finite group $G$ over a commutative ring $R$ with $1$. An element $x$ in $RG$ is said to be skew-symmetric with respect to an involution $\sigma$ of $RG$ if $\sigma(x)=-x.$ A structure theorem for the…
In this article we present a unified way to smooth certain multiple structures called ropes on smooth varieties. We prove that most ropes of arbitrary multiplicity, supported on smooth curves can be smoothed. By a rope being smoothable we…
The paper is concerned with `geometrization' of smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) representations of the automorphism group of universal domains, and with the properties of `geometric' representations of such groups. As an application, we…
We define cusp-decomposable manifolds and prove smooth rigidity within this class of manifolds. These manifolds generally do not admit a nonpositively curved metric but can be decomposed into pieces that are diffeomorphic to finite volume,…
