We prove that each injective simplicial map from the arc complex of a compact, connected, nonorientable surface with nonempty boundary to itself is induced by a homeomorphism of the surface. We also prove that the automorphism group of the…

We completely classify the orientable infinite-type surfaces $S$ such that $\operatorname{PMap}(S)$, the pure mapping class group, has automatic continuity. This classification includes surfaces with noncompact boundary. In the case of…

We show that order-invariant injective maps on the noncompactly causal symmetric space $SO_0 (1,n)/SO_0 (1,n-1)$ belong to $O(1,n)^+$.

We complete the classification of isometric cohomogeneity-one actions on all symmetric spaces of noncompact type up to orbit equivalence.

We classify non-linear proper Fredholm maps between Hilbert spaces, up to proper homotopy, in terms of the stable homotopy groups of spheres. We show that there is a surjective map from the stable homotopy groups of spheres to the set of…

We define inductively a sequence of purely algebraic invariants - namely, classes in the Quillen cohomology of the Pi-algebra \pi_* X - for distinguishing between different homotopy types of spaces. Another sequence of such cohomology…

For maps from $S^3$ and $\RP^3$ into $S^2$ and $\RP^2$, we study the problem of minimizing the root set by deforming the maps through homotopies. After presenting the classification of the homotopy classes of such maps, we prove that the…

We characterize pairs of bounded Reinhardt domains in $\CC^2$ between which there exists a proper holomorphic map and find all proper maps that are not elementary algebraic.

A totally geodesic map $f:\mathcal X_1\to\mathcal X_2$ between Hermitian symmetric spaces is tight if its image contains geodesic triangles of maximal area. Tight maps were first introduced in [BIW09], and were classified in [Ham13, Ham14,…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of nondegenerate holomorphic mappings between pseudoellipsoidal real hypersurfaces, and provide an explicit parametrization for the collection of all such mappings (in the…

We classify, up to homeomorphism, all closed manifolds having the homotopy type of a connected sum of two copies of real projective n-space.

Normal maps between discrete groups $N\rightarrow G$ were characterized [FS] as those which induce a compatible topological group structure on the homotopy quotient $EN\times_N G$. Here we deal with topological group (or loop) maps…

We introduce a class of maps from an affine flat into a Riemannian manifold that solve an elliptic system defined by the natural second order elliptic operator of the affine structure and the nonlinear Riemann geometry of the target. These…

In this survey article we provide an introduction to submanifold geometry in symmetric spaces of noncompact type. We focus on the construction of examples and the classification problems of homogeneous and isoparametric hypersurfaces, polar…

The classifying spaces of cobordisms of singular maps have two fairly different constructions. We expose a homotopy theoretical connection between them. As a corollary we show that the classifying spaces in some cases have a simple product…

We consider various equivalence relations on the set of homotopy classes of curves on a hyperbolic surface based on topological, algebraic, and geometric structures. The purpose of this work is to determine the relationship between these…

We consider the following properties of compact oriented irreducible graph-manifolds: to contain a $\pi_1$-injective surface (immersed, virtually embedded or embedded), be (virtually) fibered over $S^1$, and to carry a metric of nonpositive…

A map $\phi:M_m(\bC)\to M_n(\bC)$ is decomposable if it is of the form $\phi=\phi_1+\phi_2$ where $\phi_1$ is a CP map while $\phi_2$ is a co-CP map. A partial characterization of decomposability for maps $\phi: M_2(\bC) \to M_3(\bC)$ is…

We give a complete classification of Riemannian and Lorentzian surfaces of arbitrary codimension in a pseudo-sphere whose pseudo-spherical Gauss maps are of 1-type or, in particular, harmonic. In some cases a concrete global classification…

We classify the finite connected-homogeneous digraphs, as well as the infinite such digraphs with precisely one end. This completes the classification of all the locally finite connected-homogeneous digraphs.
