We classify the transitive, effective, holomorphic actions of connected complex Lie groups on complex surfaces.

A question of B. Teissier, inspired by a previous problem of R. Thom, asks whether for any germ of complex analytic hypersurface there exists a germ of complex algebraic hypersurface with the same topological type. Up to now only the case…

We take the fundamental group of the complement of the branch curve of a generic projection induced from canonical embedding of a surface. This group is stable on connected components of moduli spaces of surfaces. Since for many classes of…

Consider a one-ended word-hyperbolic group. If it is the fundamental group of a graph of free groups with cyclic edge groups then either it is the fundamental group of a surface or it contains a finitely generated one-ended subgroup of…

In this paper we introduce an exponential map of the algebra of germs of vector fields into the group of germs of diffeomorphisms at zero. It is shown that this mapping is not a bijection. A brief review of the key results of the analytic…

We provide a complete system of invariants for the formal classification of complex analytic unipotent germs of diffeomorphism at $\cn{n}$ fixing the orbits of a regular vector field. We reduce the formal classification problem to solve a…

Let $\Gamma_g$ be the fundamental group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus $g\geq2$. We introduce a combinatorial structure of "core surfaces", that represent subgroups of $\Gamma_g$. These structures are (usually)…

A generating function of the number of homomorphisms from the fundamental group of a compact oriented or non-orientable surface without boundary into a finite group is obtained in terms of an integral over a real group algebra. We calculate…

We investigate the group of large diffeomorphisms fixing a frame at a point for general closed 3-manifolds. We derive some general structural properties of these groups which relate to the picture of the manifold as being composed of…

Flat surfaces that correspond to meromorphic $1$-forms or to meromorphic quadratic differentials containing poles of order two and higher are surfaces of infinite area. We classify groups that appear as Veech groups of translation surfaces…

We construct examples of algebraic surfaces with interesting fundamental groups.

This note provides a formula for the character of the Lie algebra of the fundamental group of a surface, viewed as a module over the symplectic group.

We study groups of formal diffeomorphisms in several complex variables. For abelian, metabelian or nilpotent groups we investigate the existence of suitable formal vector fields and closed differential forms which exhibit an invariance…

We consider translation surfaces with poles on surfaces. We shall prove that any finite group appears as the automorphism group of some translation surface with poles. As a direct consequence we obtain the existence of structures achieving…

We study embeddings of symmetric groups to the space Cremona group.

Given a compact manifold M, we prove that any bracket generating and invariant under multiplication on smooth functions family of vector fields on M generates the connected component of unit of the group Diff(M).

We give a short, mostly elementary and self-contained proof of the classical result that the groups of diffeomorphisms, homeomorphisms, and homotopy equivalences of a surface have the same group of connected components.

We prove convergence of Goodwillie-Weiss' embedding calculus for spaces of embeddings into a manifold of dimension at most two, so in particular for diffeomorphisms between surfaces. We also relate the Johnson filtration of the mapping…

We show that every effective smooth action of a Lie group G on a manifold M is a diffeomorphism from G onto its image in Diff(M), where the image is equipped with the subset diffeology of the functional diffeology.
