Homotopy is an important feature of associative and Jordan algebraic structures: such structures always come in families whose members need not be isomorphic among other, but still share many important properties. One may regard homotopy as…

For manifolds equipped with group actions, we have the following natural question: To what extent does the equivariant cohomology determine the equivariant diffeotype? We resolve this question for Hamiltonian circle actions on compact,…

We compute the Poisson boundary of locally discrete groups of diffeomorphisms of the circle.

We investigate the topology of the space of M\"obius conjugacy classes of degree $d$ rational maps on the Riemann sphere. We show that it is rationally acyclic and we compute its fundamental group. As a byproduct, we also obtain the ranks…

We show that $\mathbb{C}^2$ contains pairs of properly embedded, smooth complex curves that are isotopic through homeomorphisms but not diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{C}^2$. The construction is based on realizing corks as branched covers of…

In this note we consider compact homomorphisms and endomorphisms between various Dales-Davie algebras. In particular, we obtain fairly complete results when the underlying set is the disc or the unit circle. Comparable results when the…

We present a natural family of Hilbert function spaces on the d-dimensional complex unit ball and classify which of them satisfy that subsets of the ball yield isometrically isomorphic subspaces if and only if there is an analytic…

We characterise simply-connected biquotients which potentially admit metrics of holonomy G_2. We prove that there are at most three real homotopy types of rationally elliptic such manifolds---all of them being formal. In the course of this…

We establish some upper and lower bounds of the rational topological complexity for certain classes of elliptic spaces. Our techniques permit us in particular to show that the rational topological complexity coincides with the dimension of…

We prove rigidity results for holomorphic proper maps from the complex unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n$ to the Type IV bounded symmetric domain $D^{IV}_m$ where $n \geq 4, n+1\leq m \leq 2n-3$. In addition, a classification result is established…

Submersions with definite folds are submersions on manifolds with boundary whose restrictions to the boundary are definite fold maps. In this paper, we study the properties from the viewpoint of differential topology of manifolds with…

Let $f$ be a real- or circle-valued Morse function on a compact surface M having exactly $n>0$ critical points. Denote by $O$ the orbit of $f$ with respect to the right action of the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$. We show that the…

We consider certain groups of tree automorphisms as so-called diffeological groups. The notion of diffeology, due to Souriau, allows to endow non-manifold topological spaces, such as regular trees that we look at, with a kind of a…

We discuss the computation of automorphism groups and normal forms of cones and polyhedra in Normaliz, and indicate its implementation via nauty. The types of automorphisms include integral, rational, Euclidean and combinatorial, as well as…

Let $D_{n,\gamma}$ be the complex of graphs on $n$ vertices and domination number at least $\gamma$. We prove that $D_{n,n-2}$ has the homotopy type of a finite wedge of 2-spheres. This is done by using discrete Morse theory techniques.…

Suppose M is a non-compact connected n-manifold without boundary, DD(M) is the group of C^\infty-diffeomorphisms of M endowed with the Whitney C^\infty-topology and DD_0(M) is the identity connected component of DD(M), which is an open…

We provide a framework which generalizes algebraic models of a homotopy theory of spaces to the genuine equivariant case for a discrete group. We explain how this applies to commutative differential graded algebra (cdga) models and complete…

Using a recent result of Bowden, Hensel and Webb, we prove the existence of homeomorphisms with positive stable commutator length in the groups of homeomorphisms of the real projective plane and M\"obius strip which are isotopic to the…

In the theory of surface diffeomorphisms relative to homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits, it is possible to compute a one-dimensional representative map for any irreducible isotopy class. The topological entropy of this graph representative…

The group Hameo (M,\omega) of Hamiltonian homeomorphisms of a connected symplectic manifold (M,\omega) was defined and studied in [7] and further in [6]. In these papers, the authors consistently used the L^{(1,\infty)}-Hofer norm (and not…
