Let us fix a positive integer $\nu>1$. For each positive integer $n>1$, we consider a normal supercharacter theory $\mathcal{S}_n$ of $G_n$, where $G_n$ is the direct-product of $n-1$ copies of the cyclic group of order $\nu$. Then we endow…

Given a countable abelian group $A$, we construct a row finite directed graph $\Gamma(A)$ such that the $K_{0}$-group of the graph $\textrm{C}^{\ast}$-algebra $\textrm{C}^{\ast}(\Gamma(A))$ is canonically isomorphic to $A$. Moreover, each…

This article records basic topological, as well as homological properties of the space of homomorphisms Hom(L,G) where L is a finitely generated discrete group, and G is a Lie group, possibly non-compact. If L is a free abelian group of…

A group $\Gamma$ is defined to be cofinitely Hopfian if every homomorphism $\Gamma\to\Gamma$ whose image is of finite index is an automorphism. Geometrically significant groups enjoying this property include certain relatively hyperbolic…

Given a short exact sequence of locally compact abelian groups $0 \to A \to B \to C \to 0$ and a continuous $C$-valued $1$-cocycle $\phi$ on a locally compact Hausdorff groupoid $\Gamma$ we construct a twist of $\Gamma$ by $A$ that is…

We study generic properties of topological groups in the sense of Baire category. First we investigate countably infinite (discrete) groups. We extend a classical result of B. H. Neumann, H. Simmons and A. Macintyre on algebraically closed…

Denote by $\DC(M)_0$ the identity component of the group of the compactly supported $C^r$ diffeomorphisms of a connected $C^\infty$ manifold $M$. We show that if $\dim(M)\geq2$ and $r\neq \dim(M)+1$, then any homomorphism from $\DC(M)_0$ to…

We show that commutators of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms may have arbitrarily large Hofer norm. The proposed technique is applicable to positive genus surfaces and their products. This gives partial answer to a question by McDuff and…

Any non-abelian finite $p$-group has a non-inner automorphism of order $p$.

Let $A$ and $H$ be two Hopf algebras. We shall classify up to an isomorphism that stabilizes $A$ all Hopf algebras $E$ that factorize through $A$ and $H$ by a cohomological type object ${\mathcal H}^{2} (A, H)$. Equivalently, we classify up…

We prove that in dimensions not equal to 4, 5, or 7, the homology and homotopy groups of the classifying space of the topological group of diffeomorphisms of a disk fixing the boundary are finitely generated in each degree. The proof uses…

Let $\text{Ham(M,L)}$ denote the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms on a symplectic manifold $M$, leaving a Lagrangian submanifold $L\subset M$ invariant. In this paper, we show that $\text{Ham(M,L)}$ has the fragmentation property, using…

We provide explicit quasi-isomorphisms between the following three algebraic structures associated to the unit interval: i) the commutative dg algebra of differential forms, ii) the non-commutative dg algebra of simplicial cochains and iii)…

A finite hypergraph $H$ consists of a finite set of vertices $V(H)$ and a collection of subsets $E(H) \subseteq 2^{V(H)}$ which we consider as partition of unity relations between projection operators. These partition of unity relations…

In this paper we show that even in the case of simply connected minimal algebraic surfaces of general type, deformation and differentiable equivalence do not coincide. Exhibiting several simple families of surfaces which are not deformation…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact surface of genus $g \geq 1$ equipped with an area form. We construct eggbeater Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms which lie arbitrarily far in the Hofer metric from the set of autonomous Hamiltonians. This result is…

In this article -that has also the intention to survey some known results in the theory of compact quantum groups using methods different from the standard and with a strong algebraic flavor- we consider compact o-coalgebras and Hopf…

A differential-algebraic geometric analogue of the Dixmier-Moeglin equivalence is articulated, and proven to hold for $D$-groups over the constants. The model theory of differentially closed fields of characteristic zero, in particular the…

We study to what extent group $C^\ast$-algebras are characterized by their unitary groups. A complete characterization of which Abelian group $C^\ast$-algebras have isomorphic unitary groups is obtained. We compare these results with other…

We classify subalgebras of a ring of differential operators which are big in the sense that the extension of associated graded rings is finite. We show that these subalgebras correspond, up to automorphisms, to uniformly ramified finite…
