Among the infinite classes of finite simple groups, the most exotic classes are probably the Suzuki groups and the Ree groups. They are "twisted versions" of groups of Lie type, but they cannot be directly obtained as groups of rational…

In this paper, we continue the study of intersections of closed curves on translation surfaces, initiated in by S. Cheboui, A. Kessi and D. Massart for a family of arithmetic Veech surfaces and the author, E. Lanneau and D. Massart for a…

By Koebe's retrosection theorem, every closed Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ is uniformized by a Schottky group. Marden observed that there are Schottky groups that are not classical ones, that is, they cannot be defined by a suitable…

We study the ozone group of noetherian Artin--Schelter regular algebras satisfying a polynomial identity (or PI for short). The ozone group was shown in previous work by the authors to be an important invariant in the study of PI skew…

We show that for any lattice Veech group in the mapping class group $\mathrm{Mod}(S)$ of a closed surface $S$, the associated $\pi_1 S$--extension group is a hierarchically hyperbolic group. As a consequence, we prove that any such…

Given a graph of groups $\mathcal{G} = (\Gamma, \{G_v\}, \{G_e\})$ with certain conditions on vertex groups and $G$ acts acylindrically on its Bass-Serre tree $T$. Let $H$ be a finitely generated subgroup of $G$. We prove the following…

The genus spectrum of a finite group $G$ is the set of all $g\geq 2$ such that $G$ acts faithfully and orientation-preserving on a closed compact orientable surface of genus $g$. This article is an overview of some results relating the…

The goal of this paper is to describe a theoretical construction of an infinite collection of non-classical Schottky groups. We first show that there are infinitely many non-classical noded Schottky groups on the boundary of Schottky space,…

Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…

A non-square-tiled Veech surface has finitely many periodic points, i.e., points with finite orbit under the affine automorphism group. We present an algorithm that inputs a non-square-tiled Veech surface and outputs its set of periodic…

We show that the pure mapping class group is uniformly perfect for a certain class of infinite type surfaces with noncompact boundary components. We then combine this result with recent work in the remaining cases to give a complete…

A closed Riemann surface $S$ (of genus at least one) is called an origami curve if it admits a non-constant holomorphic map $\beta:S \to E$ with at most one branch value, where $E$ is a genus one Riemann surface. In this case, $(S,\beta)$…

Given a two-generated group of prime-power order, we investigate the singularities of origamis whose deck group acts transitively and is isomorphic to the given group. Geometric and group-theoretic ideas are used to classify the possible…

For $\textrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ ($n\geq3$), $\textrm{SO}(n+1,n)$ ($n\geq2$), $\textrm{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})$ ($n\geq2$) and for the adjoint real split form of the exceptional group $\textrm{G}_2$, we exhibit non-uniform lattices in which we…

In a paper with Menasco-Nieland, the first author constructed factorially many origamis in the minimal stratum of the moduli space of translation surfaces having simultaneously a single vertical cylinder and a single horizontal cylinder.…

We give a method to describe all congruence images of a finitely generated Zariski dense group $H \leq \mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{Z})$. The method is applied to obtain efficient algorithms for solving this problem in odd prime degree $n$; if…

Let $\AAutH (X)$ be the subgroup of the group $\AutH (X)$ of holomorphic automorphisms of a normal affine algebraic surface $X$ generated by elements of flows associated with complete algebraic vector fields. Our main result is a…

We look at interval exchange transformations defined as first return maps on the set of diagonals of a flow of direction $\theta$ on a square-tiled surface: using a combinatorial approach, we show that, when the surface has at least one…

This paper studies groups of maximal size acting harmonically on a finite graph. Our main result states that these maximal graph groups are exactly the finite quotients of the modular group $\Gamma=\left<x,y \ | \ x^2=y^3=1\right>$ of size…

A finite group $G$ is called a Schur group, if any Schur ring over $G$ is associated in a natural way with a subgroup of $Sym(G)$ that contains all right translations. Recently, the authors have completely identified the cyclic Schur…
