We initiate the study of holomorphically convex groups: groups that can be realized as fundamental groups of smooth complex projective varieties with holomorphically convex universal covers. If $G$ is a holomorphically convex group of…
We use our new type of bounded locally homeomorphic quasiregular mappings in the unit 3-ball to address long standing problems for such mappings. The construction of such mappings comes from our construction of non-trivial compact…
When studying mirror symmetry in the context of K3 surfaces, the hyperkaehler structure of K3 makes the notion of exchanging Kaehler and complex moduli ambiguous. On the other hand, the metric is not renormalized due to the higher amount of…
We highlight that integer Heisenberg groups at level 2 underlie topological quantum phenomena: their group algebras coincide with the algebras of quantum observables of abelian anyons in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems on closed…
This paper is devoted to a study of the automorphism groups of three series of finite dimensional special odd Hamiltonian superalgebras $\mathfrak{g}$ over a field of prime characteristic. Our aim is to characterize the connections between…
In 2009, Dolgachev-Keum showed that finite groups of tame symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces in positive characteristics are subgroups of the Mathieu group of degree 23. In this paper, we utilize lattice-theoretic methods to…
This is a survey of the Kawamata-Morrison cone conjecture on the structure of Calabi-Yau varieties and more generally Calabi-Yau pairs. We discuss the proof of the cone conjecture for algebraic surfaces, with plenty of examples. We show…
We continue our study on the hypergeometric system $E(3,6)$ which describes period integrals of the double cover family of K3 surfaces. Near certain special boundary points in the moduli space of the K3 surfaces, we construct the local…
We introduce a new class of locally compact groups, namely the strongly compactly covered groups, which are the Hausdorff topological groups $G$ such that every element of $G$ is contained in a compact open normal subgroup of $G$. For…
The aim of this paper is to generalize results known for the symplectic involutions on K3 surfaces to the order 3 symplectic automorphisms on K3 surfaces. In particular, we will explicitly describe the action induced on the lattice…
We present a new simple proof of the fact that certain group manifolds as well as certain homogeneous spaces G/H of dimension 4n admit a quaternionic triple of integrable complex structures that are covariantly constant with respect to the…
In this paper, we survey recent works on the structure of the mapping class groups of surfaces mainly from the point of view of topology. We then discuss several possible directions for future research. These include the relation between…
Every indefinite binary form occurs as the Picard lattice of some K3-surface. The group of its isometries, or automorphs, coincides with the automorphism group of the K3-surface, but only up to finite groups. The classical theory of…
We compute Coxeter diagrams of several ``large'' reflective even 2-elementary hyperbolic lattices and their maximal parabolic subdiagrams, and give some applications of these results to the theory of K3 surfaces and hyperkahler varieties.
In this note, we report some progress we made recently on the automorphisms groups of K3 surfaces. A short and straightforward proof of the impossibility of Z/(60) acting purely non-symplectically on a K3 surface, is also given, by using…
The Schwarz map of the hypergeometric differential equation is studied since the beginning of the last century. Its target is the complex projective line, the 2-sphere. This paper introduces the hyperbolic Schwarz map, whose target is the…
A Cayley hyper-digraph is a directed hypergraph that its automorphism group contains a subgroup acting regularly on vertices and a Cayley hypermap is a hypermap whose automorphism group contains a subgroup which induces regular action on…
We show the existence of a rational surface automorphism of positive entropy with a given number of Siegel disks. Moreover, among automorphisms obtained from quadratic birational maps on the projective plane fixing irreducible cubic curves,…
By the fundamental result of I.I. Piatetsky-Shapiro and I.R. Shafarevich (1971), the automorphism group Aut(X) of a K3 surface X over C and its action on the Picard lattice S_X are prescribed by the Picard lattice S_X. We use this result…
We introduce $\Delta$-groups and show how they fit in the context of lattice field theory. To a manifold $M$ we associate a $\Delta$-group $\Gamma(M)$. We define the symmetric cohomology $HS^n(G,A)$ of a group $G$ with coefficients in a…
