We show that any action of a finite group on a finitely presentable group arises as the action of the group of self-homotopy equivalences of a space on its fundamental group. In doing so, we prove that any finite connected (abstract)…

In this paper we characterize minimal free resolutions of homogeneous bundles on P^2. Besides we study stability and simplicity of homogeneous bundles on P^2 by means of their minimal free resolutions; in particular we give a criterion to…

In the introduction of this paper we discuss a possible approach to the unitarizability problem for classical p-adic groups. In this paper we give some very limited support that such approach is not without chance. In a forthcoming paper we…

We develop the theory of locally analytic representations of compact $p$-adic Lie groups from the perspective of the theory of condensed mathematics of Clausen and Scholze. As an application, we generalise Lazard's isomorphisms between…

We determine an upper bound for the cohomological dimension of the complement of a closed subset in a projective variety which possesses an appropriate stratification. We apply the result to several particular cases, including the…

Given a torsion-free $p$-adic analytic pro-$p$ group $G$ with $\mathrm{dim}(G) < p$, we show that the self-similar actions of $G$ on regular rooted trees can be studied through the virtual endomorphisms of the associated $\mathbb{Z}_p$-Lie…

We show that if $C_p(X\times Z)$ is homeomorphic to $C_p(Y\times Z)$, where $Z$ is compact, and $X$ and $Y$ are of countable netweight, then $C_p(X\times M)$ is homeomorphic to $C_p(Y\times M)$ for some metric compactum $M$.

We prove that for every compactum X with dim_Z X <= n >= 2 there is a cell-like resolution r: Z --> X from a compactum Z onto X such that dim Z <= n and for every integer k and every abelian group G such that dim_G X <= k >= 2 we have dim_G…

We prove that the number of distinct group actions on compact Riemann surfaces of a fixed genus $\sigma \geq 2$ is at least quadratic in $\sigma$. We do this through the introduction of a coarse signature space, the space…

Let T be a k-regular tree (k>2) and A its automorphism group. We analyze a generic finitely generated subgroup Gamma of A. We show that Gamma is free and establish a trichotomy on the closure of Gamma: it is either discrete, compact or has…

Extending well-known results on surfaces, we give bounds on the cohomological action of automorphisms of compact K\"ahler threefolds. More precisely, if the action is virtually unipotent we prove that the norm of $(f^n)^*$ grows at most as…

We compute the p-torsion and p-adic etale cohomologies with compact support of period domains over local fields in the case of basic isocrystals for quasi-split reductive groups. For the p-torsion case, we follow the method used by Orlik in…

Let $G=D_p$ be the dihedral group of order $2p$, where $p$ is an odd prime. Let $k$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We show that any action of $G$ on the ring $k[[y]]$ can be lifted to an action on $R[[y]]$, where $R$…

A general framework for investigating topological actions of $Z^d$ on compact metric spaces was proposed by Boyle and Lind in terms of expansive behavior along lower-dimensional subspaces of $R^d$. Here we completely describe this expansive…

Problems of dense and closed extension of actions of compact transformation groups are solved. The method developed in the paper is applied to problems of extension of equivariant maps and of construction of equivariant compactifications.

Raymond and Wiliams in "Examples of p-adic transformation groups", Ann. of Math. (2) 78 (1963) 92-106, constructed an action of the p-adic integers on an n-dimensional compactum, n>1, with the orbit space of dimension n+2. We present a…

A discrete group G has periodic cohomology over R if there is an element in a cohomology group, cup product with which induces an isomorphism in cohomology after a certain dimension. Adem and Smith showed if R = Z, then this condition is…

Let $G$ be a connected Lie group of rank one. In this paper the existence of free actions of group $G$ on spheres, real projective spaces and lens spaces has been studied. Most of the results have been obtained for finitistic spaces with…

V. V. Fedorchuk has recently introduced dimension functions K-dim \leq K-Ind and L-dim \leq L-Ind, where K is a simplicial complex and L is a compact metric ANR. For each complex K with a non-contractible join |K| * |K| (we write |K| for…

A Peano compactum is a compact metric space having locally connected components such that at most finitely many of them are of diameter greater than any fixed number C>0. Given a compactum K in the extended complex plane, it is known that…
