Let $M$ be a four-holed sphere and $\Gamma$ the mapping class group of $M$ fixing the boundary $\partial M$. The group $\Gamma$ acts on $M_B(SL(2,C)) = Hom_B^+(pi_1(M),SL(2,C))/SL(2,C)$ which is the space of completely reducible…

Suppose that $(M,E)$ is a compact contact manifold, and that a compact Lie group $G$ acts on $M$ transverse to the contact distribution $E$. In an earlier paper, we defined a $G$-transversally elliptic Dirac operator $\dirac$, constructed…

We generalize arc coordinates for maximal representations from a hyperbolic surface with boundary into $\text{PSp}(4,\mathbb{R})$, focusing on the case where the surface is a pair of pants. We introduce geometric parameters within the space…

We study the Galois action attached to the Dwrok surfaces $X_{\lambda}:X_0^4+X_1^4+X_2^4+X_3^4-4\lambda X_0X_1X_2X_3=0$ with parameter $\lambda$ in a number field $F$. We show that when $X_{\lambda}$ has geometric Picard number $19$, its…

A free action of a finite group on an odd-dimensional sphere is said to be almost linear if the action restricted to each cyclic or 2-hyperelementary subgroup is conjugate to a free linear action. We begin this survey paper by reviewing the…

The SL(3,C)-representation variety R of a free group F arises naturally by considering surface group representations for a surface with boundary. There is a SL(3,C)-action on the coordinate ring of R by conjugation. The geometric points of…

There is a well-known correspondence between the symplectic variety of representations of the fundamental group of a punctured Riemann surface into a compact Lie group G, with fixed conjugacy classes at the punctures, and a complex variety…

We give counterexamples to a question of Bowditch that if a non-elementary type-preserving representation $\rho:\pi_1(\Sigma_{g,n})\rightarrow PSL(2;\mathbb R)$ of a punctured surface group sends every non-peripheral simple closed curve to…

We describe the action of the automorphism group of the complex cubic x^2+y^2+z^2-xyz-2 on the homology of its fibers. This action includes the action of the mapping class group of a punctured torus on the subvarieties of its SL(2,C)…

We start from a noncompact Lie algebra isomorphic to the Dirac algebra and relate this Lie algebra in a brief review to low energy hadron physics described by the compact group SU(4). This step permits an overall physical identification of…

We study Diophantine approximation in completions of functions fields over finite fields, and in particular in fields of formal Laurent series over finite fields. We introduce a Lagrange spectrum for the approximation by orbits of quadratic…

We give upper and lower bounds for various Diophantine exponents associated with the standard linear actions of $\mathrm{SL}_2 ( \mathcal{O}_K )$ on the punctured complex plane $\mathbb{C}^2 \setminus \{ \mathbf{0} \}$, where $K$ is a…

Let S be a compact orientable surface with genus g and n boundary components d_1,...,d_n. Let b = (b_1, ..., b_n) where b_n lies in [-2,2]. Then the mapping class group of S acts on the relative SU(2)-character variety X comprising…

In this paper we construct a projective action of certain arithmetic group on the derived category of coherent sheaves on an abelian scheme $A$, which is analogous to Weil representation of the symplectic group. More precisely, the…

We use tools from combinatorial group theory in order to study actions of three types on groups acting on a curve, namely the automorphism group of a compact Riemann surface, the mapping class group acting on a surface (which now is allowed…

A global action is an algebraic analogue of a topological space. It consists of group actions $G_\alpha\curvearrowright X_\alpha$, $(\alpha\in\Phi)$, which fulfill a certain compatibility condition. We investigate the homotopy theory of…

We classify the finite orbits of the mapping class group action on the character variety of Deroin--Tholozan representations of punctured spheres. In particular, we prove that the action has no finite orbits if the underlying sphere has 7…

Let $X_n$ be a cycle of $n$ projective lines, and $\bT_n$ a symplectic torus with $n$ punctures. Using the theory of spherical twists introduced by Seidel and Thomas (2001), I will define an action of the pure mapping class group of $\bT_n$…
