This paper develops a basic theory of H-groups. We introduce a special quotient of H-groups and extend some algebraic constructions of topological groups to the category of H-groups and H-maps. We use these constructions to prove some…

Let H:(M,p)->(M',p') be a formal mapping between two germs of real-analytic generic submanifolds in C^N with nonvanishing Jacobian. Assuming M to be minimal at p and M' holomorphically nondegenerate at p', we prove the convergence of the…

We use differential forms on loop spaces to prove that the fundamental group of certain geometric transformation groups is infinite. Examples include both finite and infinite dimensional Lie groups. The finite dimensional examples are the…

Let $S^*Q$ be the spherization of a closed connected manifold of dimension at least two. Consider a contactomorphism $\varphi$ that can be reached by a contact isotopy that is everywhere positively transverse to the contact structure. In…

We prove that a circle bundle over a closed oriented aspherical manifold with hyperbolic fundamental group admits a self-map of absolute degree greater than one if and only if it is virtually trivial. This generalizes in every dimension the…

We formulate the non-commutative integrability of contact systems on a contact manifold $(M,\mathcal H)$ using the Jacobi structure on the space of sections $\Gamma(L)$ of a contact line bundle $L$. In the cooriented case, if the line…

The aim of this paper is to prove the following result. For any commutative formal group ${\frak F}(x\otimes 1,1\otimes x),$ which is considered as a formal group over $H_\mathbb{Q},$ there exists a homomorphism to a formal group of the…

Extending a result of He to the non-integrable case of K-contact manifolds, it is shown that transverse Hermitian scalar curvature may be interpreted as a moment map for the strict contactomorphism group. As a consequence, we may generalize…

A detailed proof is given of a theorem describing the centraliser of a transitive permutation group, with applications to automorphism groups of objects in various categories of maps, hypermaps, dessins, polytopes and covering spaces, where…

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a Lipschitz map $f:\mathbb{R}E\to X$, into a metric space to have the image with the $k$-dimensional Hausdorff measure equal zero, $H^k(f(E))=0$. An interesting feature of our approach is that…

It is shown that a formal mapping between two real-analytic hypersurfaces in complex space is convergent provided that neither hypersurface contains a nontrivial holomorphic variety. For higher codimensional generic submanifolds,…

We prove a relative version of the realization theorem for $h_\infty$-diagrams in case that the underlying diagram subcategory is factorization-closed.

We consider {\em L-graphs}, that is contact graphs of axis-aligned L-shapes in the plane, all with the same rotation. We provide several characterizations of L-graphs, drawing connections to Schnyder realizers and canonical orders of…

$H$ is called a $G$-subgroup of a hyperbolic group $G$ if for any finite subset $M\subset G$ there exists a homomorphism from $G$ onto a non-elementary hyperbolic group $G_1$ that is surjective on $H$ and injective on $M$. In his paper in…

A study of smooth contact quasiconformal mappings of the hyperbolic Heisenberg group is presented in this paper. Our main result is a Lifting Theorem; according to this, a symplectic quasiconformal mapping of the hyperbolic plane can be…

We study the contact geometry of the connected components of the energy hypersurface, in the symmetric restricted 3-body problem on $\mathbb{S}^2$, for a specific type of motion of the primaries. In particular, we show that these components…

Suppose M is a noncompact connected PL 2-manifold and let H(M)_0 denote the identity component of the homeomorphism group of M with the compact-open topology. In this paper we classify the homotopy type of H(M)_0 by showing that {\cal…

Let X be a Stein manifold and let Y be a complex manifold which admits a spray in the sense of Gromov (Oka's principle for holomorphic sections of elliptic bundles, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 2, pp. 851-897 (1989)). We prove that for every closed…

Given a manifold $M$ endowed with a contact 1-form $\alpha$, a bi-invariant pseudo-metric $\varrho_\alpha$ is introduced on $Cont(M,\alpha)$, the compactly supported identity component of the group of all strict contactomorphisms of…
