Let G = SL(n,R) (or, more generally, let G be a connected, noncompact, simple Lie group). For any compact Lie group K, it is easy to find a compact manifold M, such that there is a volume-preserving, connection-preserving, ergodic action of…

We obtain an explicit description of the endomorphisms of free-abelian by free groups together with a characterization of when they are injective and surjective. As a consequence we see that free-abelian by free groups are Hopfian and not…

We study conformal actions of connected nilpotent Lie groups on compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. We prove that if a type-(p,q) compact manifold M supports a conformal action of a connected nilpotent group H, then the degree of…

We introduce some compact orbifolds on which there is a certain finite group action having a simple convex polytope as the orbit space. We compute the orbifold fundamental group and homology groups of these orbifolds. We calculate the…

This article establishes more properties of the $\ell^p$ dimension introduced in a previous article. Given an amenable group $\Gamma$ acting by translation on $\ell^p(\Gamma)$, this is just a number, associated to the (usually infinite…

Consider a proper action of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ on a smooth (perhaps non-paracompact) manifold $M$. The $p^{th}$ cohomology $H^p(\mathbb{Z}^d,\ \Gamma_{\mathrm{c}}(\mathcal{F}))$ valued in the space of compactly-supported sections of a natural…

We examine the palindromic automorphism group $\Pi A(F_n)$ of a free group $F_n$, a group first defined by Collins which is related to hyperelliptic involutions of mapping class groups, congruence subgroups of $SL_n(\Z)$, and symmetric…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$, and let $G$ be a simple simply-connected algebraic group over $k$ that is defined and split over the prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$. In this paper we investigate situations…

We determine the homotopy type of quotients of $S^n \times S^n$ by free actions of $\mathbb Z_{/p} \times \mathbb Z_{/p}$ where $2p>n+3$. Much like free $\mathbb Z_{/p}$ actions, they can be classified via the first $p$-localized…

Let $(M,\omega)$ be a connected symplectic manifold on which a connected Lie group $G$ acts properly and in a Hamiltonian fashion with moment map $\mu:M \lra \mf g^*$. Our purpose is investigate multiplicity-free actions, giving criteria to…

We give a necessary and sufficient criterion for the solvability of $\operatorname{HH}^1(kP)$ as a Lie algebra, where $P$ is a $p$-group with $p$ odd, in terms of a directed graph constructed from the group $P$. This gives non-trivial…

An extension of dimensional regularization to the case of compact dimensions is presented. The procedure preserves the Kaluza-Klein tower structure, but has a regulator specific to the compact dimension. Possible 5 and 4 dimensional…

For symplectic group actions which are not Hamiltonian there are two ways to define reduction. Firstly using the cylinder-valued momentum map and secondly lifting the action to any Hamiltonian cover (such as the universal cover), and then…

We show relative to strong hypotheses that patterns of compact cardinals in the universe, where a compact cardinal is one which is either strongly compact or supercompact, can be virtually arbitrary. Specifically, we prove if V is a model…

Suppose $X$ and $Y$ are topological spaces, $|X| = \Delta(X)$ and $|Y| = \Delta(Y)$. We investigate resolvability of the product $X \times Y$. We prove that: I. If $|X| = |Y| = \omega$ and $X,Y$ are Hausdorff, then $X \times Y$ is maximally…

We use the theory of Condensed Mathematics to build a condensed cohomology theory for the Weil group of a $p$-adic field. The cohomology groups are proved to be locally compact abelian groups of finite ranks in some special cases. This…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$. Let $Aut(X)$ be its group of automorphisms and $G\subseteq Aut(X)$ a subgroup. Sharp upper bounds for $|G|$ in terms of $g$ are known if $G$ belongs to certain classes of groups, e.g.…

In this paper, we prove $L^p$ ($p > 1$) dimension free bounds for the centered Hardy-Littlewood maximal function on real or complex hyperbolic spaces.

Let $p$ denote an odd prime. We show by example that the inequalities obtained in arXiv:1704.05827 for the behaviour of the cohomological index of a join of free $\Z/p$-actions are sharp. Namely, for all odd integers $k,l$ at least one of…

In this paper we show that every rational cohomology class of type $(p,p)$ on a compact K\"ahler manifold can be representated as a differential $(p,p)$-form given by an explicit formula involving a \v{C}ech cocycle. First we represent…
