This paper uses the renowned Kechris-Pestov-Todor\v{c}evi\'{c} machinery to show that (big) mapping class groups are not extremely amenable unless the underlying surface is a sphere or a once-punctured sphere, or equivalently when the…

We introduce the polygonalisation complex of a surface, a cube complex whose vertices correspond to polygonalisations. This is a geometric model for the mapping class group and it is motivated by works of Harer, Mosher and Penner. Using…

We present an explicit sequence of pseudo-Anosov maps $\phi_k: S_{2k}\to S_{2k}$ of surfaces of genus $2k$ whose growth rates converge to one.

We demonstrate that the complex plane and a class of generalized Grushin planes $G_r$, where $r$ is a function satisfying specific requirements, are quasisymmetrically equivalent. Then using conjugation we are able to develop an analytic…

We provide the polynomial identities of algebras that are both generalized Poisson algebras and transposed Poisson algebras. We establish defining identities via single operation for generalized Poisson algebras and prove that Ito's theorem…

We give the complete classification of regular projectively Anosov flows on closed three-dimensional manifolds. More precisely, we show that such a flow must be either an Anosov flow or decomposed into a finite union of $T^2 \times…

The mapping class group of a non-exceptional oriented surface of finite type admits a biautomatic structure.

We prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.

We extend the definition of algebraic entropy to endomorphisms of affine varieties. We calculate algebraic entropy of the action of elements of mapping class groups on various character varieties, and show that it is equal to a quantity we…

We prove that the set of non-pseudo-Anosov elements in the Torelli group is exponentially small.

We study Anosov families which are sequences of diffeomorphisms along compact Riemannian manifolds such that the tangent bundle split into expanding and contracting subspaces. In this paper we prove that a certain class of Anosov families:…

We extend Fedosov deformation quantization to general contact manifolds. Unlike the case of symplectic manifolds, not every classical observable on a contact manifold is generally quantized. On examination of possible obstructions to…

We consider generic i.e., forming an everywhere dense massive subset classes of Markov operators in the space $L^2(X,\mu)$ with a finite continuous measure. Since there is a canonical correspondence that associates with each Markov operator…

Bilinear maps and their classifying tensor products are well-known in the theory of linear algebra, and their generalization to algebras of commutative monads is a classical result of monad theory. Motivated by constructions needed in…

In this note we prove that the mapping class group of a compact topological manifold $M$ with boundary is of finite type, under assumptions on its dimension and connectivity.

We introduce a notion of probabilistic convexity and generalize some classical globalization theorems in Alexandrov geometry. A weighted Alexandrov's lemma is developed as a basic tool.

Detecting and exploiting similarities between seemingly distant objects is without doubt an important human ability. This paper develops \textit{from the ground up} an abstract algebraic and qualitative notion of similarity based on the…

We fully classify completely multiplicative sequences which are given by generalised polynomial formulae, and obtain a similar result for (not necessarily completely) multiplicative sequences under the additional restriction that the…

We prove sharp limit theorems on random walks on graphs with values in finite groups. We then apply these results (together with some elementary algebraic geometry, number theory, and representation theory) to finite quotients of lattices…

We give a local classification of generalized complex structures. About a point, a generalized complex structure is equivalent to a product of a symplectic manifold with a holomorphic Poisson manifold. We use a Nash-Moser type argument in…
