For a compact $(2n+1)$-dimensional smooth manifold, let $\mu_M : B Diff_\partial (D^{2n+1}) \to B Diff (M)$ be the map that is defined by extending diffeomorphisms on an embedded disc by the identity. By a classical result of Farrell and…
Let $f:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ be a real homogeneous polynomial and $S(f)$ be the group of diffeomorphisms $h:\mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}^2$ preserving $f$, i.e. $f \circ h = f$. Denote by $S(f,r)$, $(0\leq r \leq \infty)$, the…
The set of automorphisms of a one-dimensional \shift $(X, \sigma)$ forms a countable, but often very complicated, group. For zero entropy shifts, it has recently been shown that the automorphism group is more tame. We provide the first…
We consider a specific class of infinite dimensional $p$-adic Lie groups, i.e., a sort of diffeomorphism groups on $p$-adic ball $\operatorname{Diff}^{\operatorname{an}}(B_\epsilon)$. It turns out that this group has a natural logarithmic…
Let $M$ be a smooth connected compact surface and $P$ be either a real line or a circle. This paper proceeds the study of the stabilizers and orbits of smooth functions on $M$ with respect to the right action of the group of diffeomorphisms…
We show that the identity component of the group of diffeomorphisms of a closed oriented surface of positive genus admits many unbounded quasi-morphisms. As a corollary, we also deduce that this group is not uniformly perfect and its…
We show that the group of homotopy automorphisms of the profinite completion of the genus zero surface operad is isomorphic to the (profinite) Grothendieck-Teichm\"{u}ller group. Using a result of Drummond-Cole, we deduce that the…
We consider several natural sets of curves associated to a given Teichm\"uller disc, such as the systole set or cylinder set, and study their coarse geometry inside the curve graph. We prove that these sets are quasiconvex and agree up to…
Let $\widetilde{\cal M}_{g,n}$, for $2g-2+n>0$, be the moduli stack of $n$-pointed, genus $g$, stable complex curves of compact type. Various characterizations and properties are obtained of both the algebraic and topological fundamental…
Let $f$ be a univalent self-map of the unit disc. We introduce a technique, that we call {\sl semigroup-fication}, which allows to construct a continuous semigroup $(\phi_t)$ of holomorphic self-maps of the unit disc whose time one map…
$\operatorname{SL}(2,q)$-unitals are unitals of order $q$ admitting a regular action of $\operatorname{SL}(2,q)$ on the complement of some block. They can be obtained from affine $\operatorname{SL}(2,q)$-unitals via parallelisms. We compute…
We build the first examples of diffeomorphisms that are distorted in a group of $C^r$ diffeomorphisms yet undistorted in the corresponding group of $C^s$ diffeomorphisms, where $r < s$. This explicit construction is performed for the closed…
We consider classes of diffeomorphisms of Euclidean space with partial asymptotic expansions at infinity; the remainder term lies in a weighted Sobolev space whose properties at infinity fit with the desired application. We show that two…
We describe a family of rational affine surfaces S with huge groups of automorphisms in the following sense: the normal subgroup of Aut(S) generated by all its algebraic subgroups is not generated by any countable family of such subgroups,…
We show that there is an infinite group of special automorphisms of the deformed group of diffeomorphisms, which describes parallel transports in Riemannian spaces of any variable curvature. Generators of translations of such group contain…
For $k,s\geq2$, the $s$-stable Kneser graphs are the graphs with vertex set the $k$-subsets $S$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that the circular distance between any two elements in $S$ is at least $s$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if…
In this paper, we prove that each automorphism of the Torelli group of a surface is induced by a diffeomorphism of the surface, provided that the surface is a closed, connected, orientable surface of genus at least 3. This result was…
In this paper we show that even in the case of simply connected minimal algebraic surfaces of general type, deformation and differentiable equivalence do not coincide. Exhibiting several simple families of surfaces which are not deformation…
In this paper we introduce perfectly supportable semigroups and prove that they are \sigma-discrete in each Hausdorff shift-invariant topology. The class of perfectly supportable semigroups includes each subsemigroup S of the semigroup…
