To every dynamical system $(X,\varphi)$ over a totally disconnected compact space, we associate a left-orderable group $T(\varphi)$. It is defined as a group of homeomorphisms of the suspension of $(X,\varphi)$ which preserve every orbit of…
We produce a sequence of finite dimensional representations of the fundamental group $\pi_1(S)$ of a closed surface where all simple closed curves act with finite order, but where each non--simple closed curve eventually acts with infinite…
We provide uniform estimates on the number of $\mathbb{Z}/p^{k}\mathbb{Z}$-points lying on fibers of flat morphisms between smooth varieties whose fibers have rational singularities, termed (FRS) morphisms. For each individual fiber, the…
A trisection of a smooth, closed, oriented 4-manifold is a decomposition into three 4-dimensional 1-handlebodies meeting pairwise in 3-dimensional 1-handlebodies, with triple intersection a closed surface. The fundamental groups of the…
In this paper, we list all cyclic automorphisms subgroups $H$ for which there exists a smooth projective non-hyperelliptic sextic curve $C$ with $H\preceq Aut(C)$. Furthermore, we attach to each group a defining equation of a plane sextic…
We classify all possible automorphism groups of smooth cubic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. As an intermediate step we also classify automorphism groups of quartic del Pezzo surfaces. We show that…
For a closed surface $S$ with $\chi(S)<0$, we show that the fixed subgroup of a family $\mathcal B$ of endomorphisms of $\pi_1(S)$ has $\rk \fix\mathcal B\leq \rk \pi_1(S)$. In particular, if $\mathcal B$ contains a non-epimorphic…
Smooth axially symmetric Helfrich topological spheres are either round or else they must satisfy a second order equation known as the reduced membrane equation [17]. In this paper, we show that, conversely, axially symmetric closed genus…
Let $G$ be a finite group acting linearly on a vector space $V$. We consider the linear symmetry groups $\operatorname{GL}(Gv)$ of orbits $Gv\subseteq V$, where the \emph{linear symmetry group} $\operatorname{GL}(S)$ of a subset $S\subseteq…
Let $G$ be a simple linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$ and let $\phi$ be a $p$-restricted irreducible representation of $G$. Let $T$ be a maximal torus of $G$ and $s\in T$. We say…
We study closed, connected, spin 4-manifolds up to stabilisation by connected sums with copies of $S^2 \times S^2$. For a fixed fundamental group, there are primary, secondary and tertiary obstructions, which together with the signature…
Given a morphism $\varphi : G \to A \wr B$ from a finitely presented group $G$ to a wreath product $A \wr B$, we show that, if the image of $\varphi$ is a sufficiently large subgroup, then $\mathrm{ker}(\varphi)$ contains a non-abelian free…
Let $A$ be either a simplicial complex $K$ or a small category $\mathcal C$ with $V(A)$ as its set of vertices or objects. We define a twisted structure on $A$ with coefficients in a simplicial group $G$ as a function $$ \delta\colon…
This paper is concerned with the problem of stable diffeomorphism classification of 4-manifolds obtained using the surgery on loops. The main theorem states that under the assumption that the normal 1-type of two 4-manifolds in question is…
Let G be a connected reductive complex algebraic group acting on a smooth complete complex algebraic variety X. We assume that X under the action of G is a regular embedding, a condition satisfied in particular by smooth toric varieties and…
We classify, up to few exceptions, the orbit closures of the $\mathrm{Mod}(\Sigma)$-action on the affine character variety $\chi(\mathrm{Aff}(\mathbb{C}))$. We obtain from this classification that the only obstruction for a non-abelian…
We investigate equivariant and invariant topological complexity of spheres endowed with smooth non-free actions of cyclic groups of prime order. We prove that semilinear $\mathbb{Z}/p$-spheres have both invariants either $2$ or $3$ and…
In this paper we study combinatorial aspects of permutations of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and related topics. In particular, we prove that there is a unique permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ such that all the numbers $k+\pi(k)$ ($k=1,\ldots,n$)…
We study the notion of irreducibility of semigroup morphisms. Given an alphabet $\Sigma$, a morphism $\varphi:\Sigma^+\rightarrow\Sigma^+$ is irreducible if any factorisation $\varphi=\psi_2\circ\psi_1$ can only be satisfied if $\psi_1$ or…
We show that, for $\varepsilon=\dfrac{1}{4000}$, any action of a finite cyclic group by $(1+\varepsilon)$-bilipschitz homeomorphisms on a closed 3-manifold is conjugated to a smooth action.
