Let $S$ be a compact Riemann surface and let $H$ be a finite group. It is known that if $H$ acts on $S$ then there is a $H$-equivariant isogeny decomposition of the Jacobian variety $JS$ of $S,$ called the group algebra decomposition of…

Let $B$ denote the upper triangular subgroup of $SL_2(C)$, $T$ its diagonal torus and $U$ its unipotent radical. A complex projective variety $Y$ endowed with an algebraic action of $B$ such that the fixed point set $Y^U$ is a single point,…

Let F be a polarized irreducible holomorphic symplectic fourfold, deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme parametrizing length-two zero-dimensional subschemes of a K3 surface. The homology group H^2(F,Z) is equipped with an integral…

In this article, we address the classification of smooth projective algebraic surfaces over complex numbers admitting algebraic semigroup structures. We give a full description of those surfaces $S$, which has at least one non-trivial…

An explicit invariant-theoretic description of the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_3^1$ of degree-three rational maps on $\mathbb{P}^1$ is developed. A cubic map $\phi$ is represented, up to conjugation, by the pair of binary forms $(f, g) \in…

The description of invariants of surfaces with respect to the motion groups is reduced to the description of invariants of parameterized surfaces with respect to the motion groups. Existence of a commuting system of invariant partial…

We show that a class of algebras is closed under the taking of homomorphic images and direct products if and only if the class consists of all algebras that satisfy a set of (generally simultaneous) equations. For classes of regular…

We prove that there exist rational but not uniformly rational smooth algebraic varieties. The proof is based on computing a certain numerical obstruction developed in the case of compactifications of affine spaces. We show that for some…

Given a compact, connected Lie group $K$, we use principal $K$-bundles to construct manifolds with prescribed finite-dimensional algebraic models. Conversely, let $M$ be a compact, connected, smooth manifold which supports an almost free…

We determine all finite maximal elementary abelian group actions on compact oriented surfaces of genus $\sigma\geq 2$ which are unique up to topological equivalence. For certain special classes of such actions, we determine group extensions…

We study isometric actions of compact Lie groups on complete orientable positively curved $n$-manifolds whose orbit spaces have non-empty boundary in the sense of Alexandrov geometry. In particular, we classify quotients of the unit sphere…

We exhibit explicit orthogonal decompositions of every multidimensional restricted root space of a real semi-simple Lie algebra. We then show a link between this result and a radiality property of smooth functions on G-homogeneous spaces…

We will show that there is a smooth complex projective surface, birational to some Enriques surface, such that the automorphism group is discrete but not finitely generated.

A Riemann surface $\mathcal{S}$ having field of moduli $\mathbb{R}$, but not a field of definition, is called \emph{pseudoreal}. This means that $\mathcal{S}$ has anticonformal automorphisms, but non of them is an involution. We call a…

Equipping a non-equivariant topological E_\infty operad with the trivial G-action gives an operad in G-spaces. The algebra structure encoded by this operad in G-spectra is characterised homotopically by having no non-trivial multiplicative…

Given an oriented surface of positive genus with finitely many punctures, we classify the finite orbits of the mapping class group action on the moduli space of semisimple complex special linear two dimensional representations of the…

For a manifold M we define a structure on the group action of Diff(M) on the smooth functions on M which reduces to the usual differential geometry upon differentiation at zero along the one-parameter groups of Diff(M). This ``integrated…

On del Pezzo surfaces, we study effective ample $\mathbb{R}$-divisors such that the complements of their supports are isomorphic to $\mathbb{A}^1$-bundles over smooth affine curves.

In this article, we prove that a smooth projective complex surface $X$ which is regular (i.e. such that $h^1(X,\mathcal O_X)=0$) and which has a $\mathbb{R}$-divisor $\Delta$ such that $(X,\Delta)$ is a KLT Calabi-Yau pair has finitely many…

We show that there is a smooth complex projective variety, of any dimension greater than or equal to two, whose automorphism group is discrete and not finitely generated. Moreover, this variety admits infinitely many real forms which are…
