We show that the degree of the Alexander polynomial of an irreducible plane algebraic curve with nodes and cusps as the only singularities does not exceed ${5 \over 3}d-2$ where $d$ is the degree of the curve. We also show that the…

We develop a geometric approach to the study of plane sextics with a triple singular point. As an application, we give an explicit geometric description of all irreducible maximal sextics with a type $\bold E_7$ singular point and compute…

The spectrum of a finite group is the set of orders of its elements. We are concerned with finite groups having the same spectrum as a direct product of nonabelian simple groups with abelian Sylow $2$-subgroups. For every positive integer…

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for pure infiniteness of the path groupoid $C^*$-algebra of a row-finite graph without sinks. In particular we show that for such a path groupoid $\mathcal{G}_E$, the properties of being…

Let M be a compact oriented irreducible 3-manifold which is neither a graph manifold nor a hyperbolic manifold. We prove that the fundamental group of M is virtually special.

We classify up to isomorphism all finite-dimensional Lie algebras that can be realised as Lie subalgebras of the complex Weyl algebra $A_1$. The list we obtain turns out to be discrete and for example, the only non-solvable Lie algebras…

Let p be an odd prime number. We describe the Whitehead group of all extra-special and almost extra-special p-groups. For this we compute, for any finite p-group P , the subgroup Cl\_1 (ZP) of SK\_1 (ZP), in terms of a genetic basis of P.…

A linear algebraic group G is over a field K is called a Cayley group if it admits a Cayley map, i.e., a G-equivariant K-birational isomorphism between the group variety G and its Lie algebra. We prove that the special unitary group in 3…

The discreteness problem for finitely generated subgroups of $PSL(2,\mathbb{R})$ and $PSL(2,\mathbb{C})$ is a long-standing open problem. In this paper we consider whether or not this problem is decidable by an algorithm. Our main result is…

We study the affine cone over a reducible nodal curve $X$ obtained by gluing three projective lines along three pairs of points to form a connected curve of arithmetic genus \(1\). We endow \(X\) with a line bundle \(L\) of multidegree…

We count matrices in the special linear group SL(n, Z) whose characteristic polynomials split completely over Q.

We show that exceptional sequences for hereditary algebras are characterized by the fact that the product of the corresponding reflections is the inverse Coxeter element in the Weyl group. We use this result to give a new combinatorial…

We construct a projective variety with discrete, non-finitely generated automorphism group. As an application, we show that there exists a complex projective variety with infinitely many non-isomorphic real forms.

In this paper we are interested in computing representations of the fundamental group of a 3-manifold into PSL(3;C) (in particular in PSL(2;C); PSL(3;R) and PU(2; 1)). The representations are obtained by gluing decorated tetrahedra of…

We investigate maximal exceptional sequences of line bundles on (P^1)^3, i.e. those consisting of 2^r elements. For r=3 we show that they are always full, meaning that they generate the derived category. Everything is done in the discrete…

Eick & Leedham-Green sketched a construction for infinite sequences of finite $p$-groups with fixed coclass. These infinite sequences have turned out to be very useful in the theory of finite $p$-groups. We exhibit a detailed description…

For each closed surface of genus $g\ge3$, we find a finite subcomplex of the separating curve complex that is rigid with respect to incidence-preserving maps.

We study integral points on varieties with infinite \'etale fundamental groups. More precisely, for a number field $F$ and $X/F$ a smooth projective variety, we prove that for any geometrically Galois cover $\varphi\colon Y \to X$ of degree…

The set of linear, differential operators preserving the vector space of couples of polynomials of degrees n and n-2 in one real variable leads to an abstract associative graded algebra A(2). The irreducible, finite dimensional…

In this expository paper, we first review the classification of the restricted simple Lie algebras in characteristic different from 2 and 3 and then we describe their infinitesimal deformations. We conclude by indicating some possible…
