In this paper, we are interested in the construction of quasiconformal mappings between domains of the Heisenberg group H that minimise a mean distortion functional. We propose to construct such mappings by considering a corresponding…

Let R be a ring and G a group. An R-module A is said to be minimax if A includes an noetherian submodule B such that A=B is artinian. The authors study a ZG-module A such that A/C_A(H) is minimax (as a Z-module) for every proper not…

We describe low dimensional homology groups of $\mathrm{Diff}^\delta_+S^1$ in terms of Haefliger's classifying space $B\overline{\Gamma}_1$ by applying a theorem of Thurston. Then we consider the question whether some power of the rational…

We prove the $L^p$ boundedness of the circular maximal function on the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^1$ for $2<p\le \infty$. The proof is based on the square sum estimate associated with the $2\times 2$ cone $|(\xi_1',\xi_2')|=…

We classify surface Houghton groups, as well as their pure subgroups, up to isomorphism, commensurability, and quasi-isometry.

The cone of lower semicontinuous traces is studied with a view to its use as an invariant. Its properties include compactness, Hausdorffness, and continuity with respect to inductive limits. A suitable notion of dual cone is given. The cone…

We develop a cohomological method to classify amalgams of groups. We generalize this to simplicial amalgams in any concrete category. We compute the non-commutative 1-cohomology for several examples of amalgams defined over small simplices.

We suggest a short proof of O.Benoist and O.Wittenberg theorem (arXiv:1907.10859) which states that for each real non-singular cubic hypersurface $X$ of dimension $\ge 2$ the real lines on $X$ generate the whole group $H_1(X(\Bbb R);\Bbb…

This paper develops a basic theory of H-groups. We introduce a special quotient of H-groups and extend some algebraic constructions of topological groups to the category of H-groups and H-maps. We use these constructions to prove some…

Finite semisimple group algebras for which all the minimal ideals are easily computable dimension (ECD) are characterized and some lower bounds for the minimum Hamming distance of group codes in these algebras are offered. Examples…

In the three-dimensional Heisenberg group equipped with a certain left invariant Lorentzian metric, timelike minimal surfaces which have the Abresch-Rosenberg differentials with vanishing multiplication of the coefficient function and its…

Inspired by the classical category theorems of Halmos and Rohlin for the discrete measure preserving transformations, we prove analogous results in the abstract setting of unitary and isometric C_0-semigroups on a separable Hilbert space.…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and $G/B$ denote the flag variety of $G$. A $G$-homogeneous space $G/H$ is said to be {\it spherical} if $H$ acts on $G/B$ with finitely many orbits. A class of spherical homogeneous…

We show that in the first sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group there are intrinsic graphs of smooth functions that are both critical and stable points of the sub-Riemannian perimeter under compactly supported variations of contact…

We give an introductory account of Khovanov's categorification of the Heisenberg algebra, and construct a combinatorial model for it in a 2-category of spans of groupoids. We also treat a categorification of $U(sl_n)$ in a similar way.…

We construct a locally compact groupoid with the properties in the title. Our example is based closely on constructions used by Higson, Lafforgue, and Skandalis in their work on counterexamples to the Baum-Connes conjecture. It is a bundle…

In this paper we study the area minimizing problem in some kinds of conformal cones. This concept is a generalization of the cones in Eulcidean spaces and the cylinders in product manifolds. We define a non-closed-minimal (NCM) condition…

We prove the existence of complete minimal surfaces of genus g>1 which minimize the total curvature for their genus. Our method is first to identify this (Weierstrass high dimensional period) problem with the problem of finding a particular…

We study the minimal dimension of the classifying space of the family of virtually cyclic subgroups of a discrete group. We give a complete answer for instance if the group is virtually poly-Z, word-hyperbolic or countable locally virtually…

This paper characterizes a compact piece of the helicoid $H_C$ in a solid cylinder $C \subset \mathbb{R}^3$ from the following two perspectives. First, under reasonable conditions, $H_C$ has the smallest area among all immersed surfaces…
