In this paper, we develop a loop group description of harmonic maps $\mathcal{F}: M \rightarrow G/K$ ``of finite uniton type", from a Riemann surface $M$ into inner symmetric spaces of compact or non-compact type. This develops work of…

We classify the regular maps $\mathcal M$ which have automorphism groups $G$ acting faithfully and primitively on their vertices. As a permutation group $G$ must be of almost simple or affine type, with dihedral point stabilisers. We show…

Recently Lieb and Seiringer showed that the Bessis-Moussa-Villani conjecture from quantum physics can be restated in the following purely algebraic way: The sum of all words in two positive semidefinite matrices where the number of each of…

We investigate the set a) of positive, trace preserving maps acting on density matrices of size N, and a sequence of its nested subsets: the sets of maps which are b) decomposable, c) completely positive, d) extended by identity impose…

We investigate the size of fixed point sets of automorphisms of bounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. In one complex variable, a nontrivial automorphism has at most two fixed points, but in higher dimensions fixed point sets need not be…

As a higher dimensional version of the theory of Morse functions, there have been various studies of smooth manifolds using generic smooth maps. As fundamental results, in these studies, they have found that inverse images of such maps…

We show the existence of an absolute constant $\alpha>0$ such that, for every $k \geq 3$, $G:=\mathop{\mathrm{Sym}}(k)$, and for every $H \leqslant G$ of index at least $3$, one has $|H/[H,H]| \leq |G:H|^{\alpha/ \log \log |G:H|}$. This…

In this paper we show some remarkable consequences of the method which proves that every bisymmetric, symmetric, reflexive, strictly monotonic binary map on a proper interval is continuous, in particular it is a quasi-arithmetic mean. Now…

For a finite and positive measure space $(\Omega,\Sigma,\mu)$ and any weakly compact convex subset of $L\sp\infty(\Omega,\Sigma,mu)$, a fixed point theorem for a class of nonexpansive self-mappings is proved. An analogous result is obtained…

In this paper, we primarily investigate the following symmetric presentation of the surface group $\pi_1(\Sigma_g)=\left\langle c_1,\dots, c_{2g}\mid c_1\cdots c_{2g}c_1^{-1}\cdots c_{2g}^{-1}\right\rangle$. For every nontrivial element…

We study the group of automorphisms of the affine plane preserving some given curve, over any field. The group is proven to be algebraic, except in the case where the curve is a bunch of parallel lines. Moreover, a classification of the…

We prove that every uniform approximate homomorphism from a discrete amenable group into a symmetric group is uniformly close to a homomorphism into a slightly larger symmetric group. That is, amenable groups are uniformly flexibly stable…

For any code loop $L$, we prove that the half-automorphism group of $L$ is the product of the automorphism group of $L$ by an elementary abelian $2-$group consisting of all half-automorphisms that acts as the identity on a fixed basis.…

We investigate additive properties of sets $A,$ where $A=\{a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_k\}$ is a monotone increasing set of real numbers, and the differences of consecutive elements are all distinct. It is known that $|A+B|\geq c|A||B|^{1/2}$ for any…
