The moduli space and generalised global symmetries of 3d $\mathcal{N} = 5$ superconformal field theories are investigated, with a focus on the orthosymplectic ABJ theories and their discrete gauging variants. We extend the known…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group and $G$ be a noncompact semisimple connected real Lie group with finite center. We consider the space $\mathcal X$ of conjugacy classes of reductive representations of $\Gamma$ into $G$. We define…
The main goal of this note is to suggest an algebraic approach to the quasi-isometric classification of partially commutative groups (alias right-angled Artin groups). More precisely, we conjecture that if the partially commutative groups…
Let $G$ be $2$-generated group. The generating graph of $\Gamma(G)$ is the graph whose vertices are the elements of $G$ and where two vertices $g$ and $h$ are adjacent if $G=\langle g,h\rangle$. This graph encodes the combinatorial…
We consider four-dimensional gravity coupled to a non-linear sigma model whose scalar manifold is a non-compact geometrically finite surface $\Sigma$ endowed with a Riemannian metric of constant negative curvature. When the space-time is an…
Let $G$ be an almost simple, simply connected algebraic group defined over a number field $k$, and let $S$ be a finite set of places of $k$ including all infinite places. Let $X$ be the product over $v\in S$ of the symmetric spaces…
Let $A_\Gamma$ be a right-angled Artin group. Charney, Vogtmann and the author constructed an outer space for $\text{Out}(A_\Gamma)$ generalizing both $CV_n$ for $\text{Out}(F_n)$ and the symmetric space…
A regular bipartite graph $\Gamma$ is called semisymmetric if its full automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$ acts transitively on the edge set but not on the vertex set. For a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)$ that stabilizes the…
The decomposition $\Gamma=BH$ of a group $\Gamma$ into a subset $B$ and a subgroup $H$ of $\Gamma$ induces, under general conditions, a group-like structure for $B$, known as a gyrogroup. The famous concrete realization of a gyrogroup,…
Generalized beta-transformations are the class of piecewise continuous interval maps given by taking the beta-transformation $x \mapsto \beta x ~\pmod 1$, where $\beta>1$, and replacing some of the branches with branches of constant…
Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group of finite virtual cohomological dimension with certain finiteness conditions of the type satisfied by arithmetic groups. We define a representation ring for $\Gamma$, determined on its elements of finite…
We study finite groups that occur as combinatorial automorphism groups or geometric symmetry groups of convex polytopes. When $\Gamma$ is a subgroup of the combinatorial automorphism group of a convex $d$-polytope, $d\geq 3$, then there…
In this article we study the structure of $\Gamma$-invariant spaces of $L^2(\bf R)$. Here $\bf R$ is a second countable LCA group. The invariance is with respect to the action of $\Gamma$, a non commutative group in the form of a semidirect…
Given a homeomorphism $T \colon X \to X$ of a compact metric space $X$, the stabilized automorphism group $\textrm{Aut}^{\infty}(T)$ of the system $(X,T)$ is the group of self-homeomorphisms of $X$ which commute with some power of $T$. We…
Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski-dense subgroup of a reductive group $\mathbf{G}$ defined over a field $F$. Given a finite collection of finite subgroups $H_i$ ($i \in I$) of $\mathbf{G}(F)$ avoiding the center, we establish a criterion to ensure…
Given discrete groups $\Gamma \subset \Delta$ we characterize $(\Gamma,\sigma)$-invariant spaces that are also invariant under $\Delta$. This will be done in terms of subspaces that we define using an appropriate Zak transform and a…
Let $\Gamma$ be a sub-semigroup of $G=GL(d,\mathbb R),$ $d>1.$ We assume that the action of $\Gamma$ on $\R^d$ is strongly irreducible and that $\Gamma$ contains a proximal and expanding element. We describe contraction properties of the…
If P, B, H are the algebras of the total space, the base space, and the structure group of a locally trivial principal fibre bundle (QPFB), left (right) gauge transformations are defined as automorphisms of the left (right) B-module P which…
Given a residually connected incidence geometry $\Gamma$ that satisfies two conditions, denoted $(B_1)$ and $(B_2)$, we construct a new geometry $H(\Gamma)$ with properties similar to those of $\Gamma$. This new geometry $H(\Gamma)$ is…
We show that if $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X^\Gamma,\mu^\Gamma)$ is a Bernoulli action of an i.c.c. nonamenable group $\Gamma$ which is weakly amenable with Cowling-Haagerup constant $1$, and $\Lambda\curvearrowright(Y,\nu)$ is a free ergodic…
