We prove that an analogue of Jordan's theorem on finite subgroups of general linear groups does not hold for the group of bimeromorphic automorphisms of a product of the complex projective line and a complex torus of positive algebraic…

We show that compact complex manifolds of algebraic dimension zero bearing a holomorphic Cartan geometry of algebraic type have infinite fundamental group. This generalizes the main Theorem in [DM] where the same result was proved for the…

We show that if $M$ is a compact smooth manifold diffeomorphic to the total space of an orientable $S^2$ bundle over the torus $T^2$, then its diffeomorphism group does not have the Jordan property, i.e., Diff$(M)$ contains a finite…

This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…

Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact groups. We will show that each contractive Jordan isomorphism $\Phi\colon L^1(G)\to L^1(H)$ is either an isometric isomorphism or an isometric anti-isomorphism. We will apply this result to study isometric…

We prove that automorphism groups of Inoue and primary Kodaira surfaces are Jordan.

We discuss Jordan's theorem on finite subgroups of invertible matrices and give an account of his original proof.

In this survey we discuss holomorphic $\mathbb{P}^1$-bundles $p: X \to Y$ over a non-uniruled complex compact K\"ahler manifold $Y$, paying a special attention to the case when $Y$ is a complex torus. We discuss so called Jordan properties…

We call a group $G$ nilpotently Jordan of class at most $c$ $(c\in\mathbb{N})$ if there exists a constant $J\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ such that every finite subgroup $H\leqq G$ contains a nilpotent subgroup $K\leqq H$ of class at most $c$ and index…

Let $\mathbb{U}$ be a Banach Lie group and $S\subseteq \mathbb{U}$ an ad-bounded subset thereof, in the sense that there is a uniform bound on the adjoint operators induced by elements of $S$ on the Lie algebra of $\mathbb{U}$. We prove…

We show an analogue of Jordan's theorem for algebraic groups defined over a field $\mathbb k$ of arbitrary characteristic. As a consequence, a Jordan-type property holds for the automorphism group of any projective variety over $\mathbb k$.

A recent preprint of Csik\'os, Pyber and Szab\'o (arXiv:1411.7524) proves that the diffeomorphism group of $T^2\times S^2$ is not Jordan. The purpose of this paper is to generalize the arguments of Csik\'os, Pyber and Szab\'o in order to…

Given a closed smooth manifold $M$ of even dimension $2n\ge6$ with finite fundamental group, we show that the classifying space ${\rm BDiff}(M)$ of the diffeomorphism group of $M$ is of finite type and has finitely generated homotopy groups…

We determine three-dimensional algebraic varieties whose groups of birational selfmaps do not satisfy the Jordan property.

If $f$ is an automorphism of a compact simply connected K\"ahler manifold with trivial canonical bundle that fixes a K\"ahler class, then the order of $f$ is finite. We apply this well known result to construct compact non-K\"ahler…

Let G be a finitely generated group having the property that any action of any finite-index subgroup of G by homeomorphisms of the circle must have a finite orbit. (By a theorem of E.Ghys, lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank at least…

We study the stabilized automorphism group of a subshift of finite type with a certain gluing property called the eventual filling property, on a residually finite group $G$. We show that the stabilized automorphism group is simply…

We compute the automorphism groups of the Torelli complex and the complex of separating curves for all but finitely many compact orientable surfaces. As an application, we show that the abstract commensurators of the Torelli group and the…

One central problem in real algebraic geometry is to classify the real structures of a given complex manifold. We address this problem for compact hyperk\"ahler manifolds by showing that any such manifold admits only finitely many real…
