We give a complete classification of finite groups acting symplectically on supersingular K3 surfaces of Artin invariant one. Using work of Dolgachev and Keum, this provides the full classification of tame finite symplectic automorphism…

We develop the foundations of the deformation theory of compact complete affine space forms and affine crystallographic groups. Using methods from the theory of linear algebraic groups we show that these deformation spaces inherit an…

In this paper we formulate and prove a structure theorem for area preserving diffeomorphisms of genus zero surfaces with zero entropy. As an application we relate the existence of faithful actions of a finite index subgroup of the mapping…

We give a criterion for the rigidity of actions on homogeneous spaces. Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda$ a lattice in $G$, and $\Gamma$ a subgroup of the affine group Aff$(G)$ stabilizing $\Lambda$. Then the action of $\Gamma$ on…

In this paper we further develop the theory of f-divergences for log-concave functions and their related inequalities. We establish Pinsker inequalities and new affine invariant entropy inequalities. We obtain new inequalities on functional…

An action of a group $G$ on an Enriques surface $S$ is called Mathieu if it acts on $H^0(2K_S)$ trivially and every element of order 2, 4 has Lefschetz number 4. A finite group $G$ has a Mathieu action on some Enriques surface if and only…

For any subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})\ltimes\mathbb{R}^3$ obtained by adding a translation part to a subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})$ which is the fundamental group of a finite-volume convex projective surface, we first show…

Let G be a cyclic group of order 3, 5 or 7, and X=E(n) be the relatively minimal elliptic surface with rational base. In this paper, we prove that under certain conditions on n, there exists a locally linear G-action on X which is…

We prove a formula for the sofic entropy of expansive principal algebraic actions of residually finite groups, extending recent work of Deninger and Schmidt.

A generalization of the Auslander conjecture is proved in the case when the Levi factor of the Zariski closure of the acting group is a product of simple real algebraic groups of rank \leq 1. Also, the Auslander conjecture is proved for…

We prove that a group acting geometrically on a thick affine building has property (T). A more general criterion for property (T) is given for groups acting on partite complexes.

In the present paper, we prove that no infinite group acts isometrically, effectively, and properly discontinuously on a certain class of Lorentzian manifolds that are not necessarily homogeneous.

We provide examples of finite non-abelian groups acting on non-trivial Severi-Brauer surfaces.

The Zariski theorem says that for every hypersurface in a complex projective (resp. affine) space of dimension at least 3 and for every generic plane in the projective (resp. affine) space the natural embedding generates an isomorphism of…

We prove that the integral points are potentially Zariski dense in the complement of a reduced effective singular anticanonical divisor in a smooth del Pezzo surface, with the exception of $\mathbb{P}^2$ minus three concurrent lines (for…

In this paper we establish the convergence case of Khintchine's theorem for affine hyperplanes in function field of positive characteristic. Along with that, we also prove a quantitative version of the same. The main technique used in the…

By extending the dressing symmetric action of IIB string in $AdS_5\times S^5$ to the $D_3$ brane, we find a gauged WZW action of Higgs Yang-Mills field including the 2-cocycle of axially anomaly. The left and right twistor structure of left…

Let $X\to C$ be an elliptic surface with integral fibers and a section. The Hilbert scheme $X^{[n]}$ fibers over $C^{[n]}$. We construct a commutative group scheme over the entire base $C^{[n]}$ that embeds as an open subscheme of the…

We consider Zimmer's program of lattice actions on surfaces by PL homomorphisms. It is proved that when the surface is not the torus or Klein bottle the action of any finite-index subgroup of SL(n,Z), n>4, (more generally for any 2-big…

In this paper we study actions of reductive groups on affine spaces. We prove that there is a fan structure on the space of characters of the group, which parameterizes the possible invariant quotients. In the second half of the paper we…
