With each piecewise monotonic map of the unit interval, a dimension triple is associated. The dimension triple, viewed as a Z[t, t^{-1}] module, is finitely generated, and generators are identified. Dimension groups are computed for Markov…

We give an explicit formula for Whitehead group of a three-dimensional crystallographic group in terms of the Whitehead groups of its virtually infinite cyclic subgroups.

We compute for all orientable irreducible geometric 3-manifolds certain complexity functions that approximate from above Matveev's natural complexity, known to be equal to the minimal number of tetrahedra in a triangulation. We can show…

We compute explicit bases for the de Rham cohomology of cyclic covers of the projective line defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. For both Kummer and Artin-Schreier extensions, we describe precise…

We determine the homological dimension of various isogeny categories of commutative algebraic groups over a field $k$, in terms of the cohomological dimension of $k$ at certain primes. This generalizes results of Serre, Oort and Milne, by…

The geometries of spaces having as groups the real orthogonal groups and some of their contractions are described from a common point of view. Their central extensions and Casimirs are explicitly given. An approach to the trigonometry of…

In this paper, we will use Kahn-Markovic's almost totally geodesic surfaces to construct certain $\pi_1$-injective 2-complexes in closed hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Such 2-complexes are locally almost totally geodesic except along a…

Let $G$ be a virtually compact special Gromov-hyperbolic group. We prove that the double $G *_H G$ along a quasiconvex subgroup $H$ is virtually compact special. More generally, we show that if a finite graph of groups has constant vertex…

We prove that every cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold has a finite cover admitting infinitely many geometric ideal triangulations. Furthermore, every long Dehn filling of one cusp in this cover admits infinitely many geometric ideal…

We study the large-scale geometry of 3-manifolds with nontrivial 2-dimensional bounded cohomology, with a view to proving a weak version of the geometrization conjecture for such manifolds.

In this article we give combinatorial criteria to decide whether a transitive cyclic combinatorial d-manifold can be generalized to an infinite family of such complexes, together with an explicit construction in the case that such a family…

We study the quasi-isometric rigidity of a large family of finitely generated groups that split as graphs of groups with virtually free vertex groups and two-ended edge groups. Let $G$ be a group that is one-ended, hyperbolic relative to…

In the paper we introduce the construction of invariants for 3-manifolds, based on the same key concepts as the classical Dijkgraaf-Witten invariant. We introduce the notion of a special $G$-system and describe how each system induces the…

This paper focuses on the derivations and automorphism groups of certain finite-dimensional associative algebras over the field of complex numbers. Using classification results for algebras of dimensions two, three, and four, along with…

This is a revised version of the author's PhD thesis, including the corrections by the examiners. It also includes a few additional small corrections. In this thesis the objects of study are classifying spaces of groups with stabilisers in…

Cylindrical algebraic decomposition is one of the most important tools for computing with semi-algebraic sets, while triangular decomposition is among the most important approaches for manipulating constructible sets. In this paper, for an…

In this article, we introduce a new object, a virtual quadratic space, and its group of isometries. They are presented as natural generalizations of quadratic spaces and orthogonal groups. It is then shown that by replacing quadratic spaces…

Given a discrete group $G$, for any integer $r\geqslant0$ we consider the family of all virtually abelian subgroups of $G$ of rank at most $r$. We give an upper bound for the Bredon cohomological dimension of $G$ for this family for a…

We study finite dimensional representations of the projective modular group. Various explicit dimension formulas are given.

Given a connected real Lie group and a contractible homogeneous proper $G$--space $X$ furnished with a $G$--invariant volume form, a real valued volume can be assigned to any representation $\rho\colon \pi_1(M)\to G$ for any oriented closed…
