Locally solid Riesz spaces have been widely investigated in the past several decades; but locally solid topological lattice-ordered groups seem to be largely unexplored. The paper is an attempt to initiate a relatively systematic study of…

We study the set of isomorphism classes of polarized superspecial abelian varieties $(A,\lambda)$ of a fixed dimension over $\mathbb{F}_p$ with Frobenius endomorphism $\pi_A=\sqrt{-p}$ and $\ker \lambda =\ker \pi_A$. This set plays an…

We investigate the fermion determinant of a new action on a $(1+D)$-dimensional lattice for SU(2) gauge groups. This action possesses the discrete chiral symmetry and provides $2^D$-component fermions. We also comment on the numerical…

We consider the well-known Rosenbloom-Tsfasman function field lattices in the special case of Hermitian function fields. We show that in this case the resulting lattices are generated by their minimal vectors, provide an estimate on the…

We look at genera of even unimodular lattices of rank $12$ over the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{5})$ and of rank $8$ over the ring of integers of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3})$, using Kneser neighbours to diagonalise spaces of…

We give one more proof of the fact that symplectic matrices over real and complex fields have determinant one. While this has already been proved many times, there has been lasting interest in finding an elementary proof. Our result is…

We determine when an arithmetic subgroup of a reductive group defined over a global function field is of type FP_\infty by comparing its large-scale geometry to the large-scale geometry of lattices in real semisimple Lie groups.

In this paper we establish a fundamental structural result for formal series encoding the total non-archimedean masses of quadratic lattices of varying determinant squareclasses, but with fixed rank $n$ and signature over any fixed number…

The automorphism groups of integral Lorentzian lattices act by isometries on hyperbolic space with finite covolume. In the case of reflective integral lattices, the automorphism groups are commensurable to arithmetic hyperbolic reflection…

We study a Shimura variety attached to a unitary similitude group of a skew-Hermitian form over a totally indefinite quaternion algebra over a totally real number field. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of…

A description of the endomorphisms of semidirect products of two groups as a group of $2\times 2$ matrices of maps is already known. Using this description, we have studied the concept of determinant for the endomorphisms of semidirect…

We explicitly determine the automorphism groups of all self-similar trees (a.k.a. trees with finitely many cone types). We show that any such automorphism group is a direct limit of certain finite products of finite symmetric groups, which…

We investigate some situation in which automorphisms of a group G are uniquely determined by their restrictions to a proper subgroup H. Much of the paper is devoted to studying under which additional hypotheses this property forces G to be…

We study the homology of an explicit finite-index subgroup of the automorphism group of a partially commutative group, in the case when its defining graph is a tree. More concretely, we give a lower bound on the first Betti number of this…

Connected Shimura varieties are the quotients of hermitian symmetric domains by discrete groups defined by congruence conditions. We examine their relation with moduli varieties. (Handbook of Moduli).

We present a new algorithm to decide finiteness of matrix groups defined over a field of positive characteristic. Together with previous work for groups in zero characteristic, this provides the first complete solution of the finiteness…

In this paper we introduce and study the lattice of normal subgroups of a group $G$ that determine solitary quotients. It is closely connected to the well-known lattice of solitary subgroups of $G$ (see \cite{5}). A precise description of…

We investigate degenerate special-Hermitian metrics on compact complex manifolds, in particular, degenerate K\"ahler and locally conformally K\"ahler metrics on special classes of non-K\"ahler manifolds.

Let $G$ be an algebraic group and $\Gamma$ a finite subgroup of automorphisms of $G$. Fix also a possibly ramified $\Gamma$-covering $\widetilde{X} \to X$. In this setting one may define the notion of $(\Gamma,G)$-bundles over…

A positive definite Hermitian lattice is said to be 2-universal if it represents all positive definite binary Hermitian lattices. We find all 2-universal ternary and quaternary Hermitian lattices over imaginary quadratic number fields.
