A generating pair $x, y$ for a group $G$ is said to be \textbf{\textit{symmetric}} if there exists an automorphism $\varphi_{x,y}$ of $G$ inverting both $x$ and $y$, that is, $x^{\varphi_{x,y}}=x^{-1}$ and $y^{\varphi_{x,y}}=y^{-1}$.…

We investigate the relationship between finite groups and incidence geometries through their automorphism structures. Building upon classical results on the realizability of groups as automorphism groups of graphs, we develop a general…

Consider the standard family of complex H\'enon maps $H(x,y) = (p(x) - ay, x)$, where $p$ is a quadratic polynomial and $a$ is a complex parameter. Let $U^{+}$ be the set of points that escape to infinity under forward iterations. The…

In the first part, we determine conditions on spectra X and Y under which either every map from X to Y is phantom, or no nonzero maps are. We also address the question of whether such all or nothing behaviour is preserved when X is replaced…

Inspired by a remarkable work of F\'{e}lix, Halperin and Thomas on the asymptotic estimation of the ranks of rational homotopy groups, and more recent works of Wu and the authors on local hyperbolicity, we prove two asymptotic formulae for…

We prove that any group $G$ occurs as $\E(X)$, where $X$ is CW-complex of finite dimension and $\E(X)$ denotes its group of self-homotopy equivalence. Thus, we generalize a well know-theorem due to Costoya and Viruel \cite{CV} asserting…

In this paper we show that the nth quasitopological homotopy group of a topological space is isomorphic to (n-1)th quasitopological homotopy group of its loop space and by this fact we obtain some results about quasitopological homotopy…

We compute the invariant subspace of the rational group ring of a surface, truncated by powers of the augmentation ideal, under the action of the mapping class group. The surface is compact, oriented with one boundary component. This…

We define Symplectic cohomology groups for a class of symplectic fibrations with closed symplectic base and convex at infinity fiber. The crucial geometric assumption on the fibration is a negativity property reminiscent of negative…

In 1993, Brou\'{e}, Malle and Michel initiated the study of spetses on the Greek island bearing the same name. These are mysterious objects attached to non-real Weyl groups. In algebraic topology, a $p$-compact group $\mathbf{X}$ is a space…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $\pi^n(X;\mathbb{Z}/p^r)=[X,M_n(\mathbb{Z}/p^r)]$ be the set of homotopy classes of based maps from CW-complexes $X$ into the mod $p^r$ Moore spaces $M_n(\mathbb{Z}/p^r)$ of degree $n$, where $\mathbb{Z}/p^r$…

The mapping class group $\Gamma^k(N_g)$ of a non-orientable surface with punctures is studied via classical homotopy theory of configuration spaces. In particular, we obtain a non-orientable version of the Birman exact sequence. In the case…

We introduce homological and homotopical $r$-syzygies of Mori fibre spaces as a generalization of Sarkisov links and relations of Sarkisov links. For any proper morphism $Y/R$, we construct a contractible (if not empty) CW complex such that…

We construct universal geometric spaces over the real spectrum compactification $\Xi^{\mathrm{RSp}}$ of the character variety $\Xi$ of a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ in $\mathrm{SL}_n$, providing geometric interpretations of boundary…

Let $X$ be a simply connected pointed space with finitely generated homotopy groups. Let $\Pi_n(X)$ denote the set of all continuous maps $a:I^n\to X$ taking $\partial I^n$ to the basepoint. For $a\in\Pi_n(X)$, let $[a]\in\pi_n(X)$ be its…

Let $E\to B$ be a complex analytic fiber bundle with fiber $F$, a flag variety over a compact complex manifold $B$. We shall obtain a description of the cohomology of $E$ when $B=X_\Gamma:=\Gamma\backslash X, E=Y_\Gamma:=\Gamma\backslash Y$…

Let X be a smooth projective variety over the complex numbers, and let D be an ample divisor in X. For which spaces Y is the restriction map r: Hom(X, Y) -> Hom(D, Y) an isomorphism? Using positive characteristic methods, we give a fairly…

We introduce a new `geometric realization' of an (abstract) simplicial complex, inspired by probability theory. This space (and its completion) is a metric space, which has the right (weak) homotopy type, and which can be compared with the…

This paper studies the (small) quantum homology and cohomology of fibrations $p: P\to S^2$ whose structural group is the group of Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms of the fiber $(M,\om)$. It gives a proof that the rational cohomology splits…

The group of combinatorial self-similarities of a pseudometric space $(X, d)$ is the maximal subgroup of the symmetric group $\mathbf{Sym} (X)$ whose elements preserve the four-point equality $d(x,y)=d(u,v)$. Let us denote by $\mathcal{IP}$…
