Let $R$ be a semilocal principal ideal domain. Two algebraic objects over $R$ in which scalar extension makes sense (e.g. quadratic spaces) are said to be of the same genus if they become isomorphic after extending scalars to all…

We generalize the Fenchel theorem for strong spacelike closed curves of index $1$ in the 3-dimensional Minkowski space, showing that the total curvature must be less than or equal to $2\pi$. Here strong spacelike means that the tangent…

We generalize Bonahon's characterization of geometrically infinite torsion-free discrete subgroups of PSL(2, $\mathbb{C}$) to geometrically infinite discrete isometry subgroups in the case of rank 1 symmetric spaces, and, under the…

The notion of normal quantum subgroup introduced in algebraic context by Parshall and Wang when applied to compact quantum groups is shown to be equivalent to the notion of normal quantum subgroup introduced by the author. As applications,…

We survey the existing parts of a classification of finite groups generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two and extend it to a complete…

Let $f\colon M\to N$ be a proper map between two aspherical compact orientable 3-manifolds with empty or toroidal boundary. We assume that $N$ is not a closed graph-manifold. Suppose that $f$ induces an epimorphism on fundamental groups. We…

We investigate the local topological structure of non-metrizable topological groups through the lens of Tukey order and cofinal types. Motivated by recent advances in topological groups admitting an $\omega^\omega$-base, we introduce the…

In this paper, given a finitely presented group $\Gamma$, we provide the explicit monodromy of a Lefschetz fibration with $(-1)$-sections whose total space has fundamental group $\Gamma$ by applying "twisted substitutions" to that of the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete countable group acting isometrically on a measurable field $\mathbf{X}$ of CAT(0)-spaces of finite telescopic dimension over some ergodic standard Borel probability $\Gamma$-space $(\Omega,\mu)$. If $\mathbf{X}$…

Recently Blondel, Nesterov and Protasov proved that the finiteness conjecture holds for the generalized and the lower spectral radii of the sets of non-negative matrices with independent row/column uncertainty. We show that this result can…

Unifying various constructions of quandles including Coxeter quandles, free quandles, knot quandles of prime knots and Dehn quandles of orientable surfaces, we introduce Dehn quandles of groups with respect to their subsets. It turns out…

Let $G_\Gamma$ be a graph product over a finite simplicial graph $\Gamma$, and let $K_\Gamma$ denote the kernel of the canonical homomorphism from $G_\Gamma$ to the direct product of its vertex groups. It is known that, up to isomorphism,…

Motivated by classical notions of partial convexity, biconvexity, and bilinear matrix inequalities, we investigate the theory of free sets that are defined by (low degree) noncommutative matrix polynomials with constrained terms. Given a…

Finite groups are said to be isospectral if they have the same sets of element orders. A finite nonabelian simple group $L$ is said to be almost recognizable by spectrum if every finite group isospectral to $L$ is an almost simple group…

The congruence subgroup problem for a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ asks whether $\widehat{Aut\left(\Gamma\right)}\to Aut(\hat{\Gamma})$ is injective, or more generally, what is its kernel $C\left(\Gamma\right)$? Here $\hat{X}$ denotes…

For fixed g and T we show that finiteness of the set of affine equivalence classes of flat surfaces of genus g whose Veech groups contain a cusp of hyperbolic co-area less than T. We obtain new restrictions on Veech groups: we show that any…

A singular riemannian foliation F on a complete riemannian manifold M is said to admit sections if each regular point of M is contained in a complete totally geodesic immersed submanifold (a section) that meets every leaf of F orthogonally…

We prove a conjecture of Calta, Kraaikamp and the author: For all $n\ge 3$, each member of their one-parameter family of interval maps, denoted $T_{3,n,\alpha}$, has its `first expansive return map' of natural extension given by the first…

Let $\GN\leq\SLR$ be a genus zero Fuchsian group of the first kind with $\infty$ as a cusp, and let $\Ek$ be the holomorphic Eisenstein series of weight $2k$ on $\GN$ that is nonvanishing at $\infty$ and vanishes at all the other cusps…

A discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of a locally compact group $H$ is called a uniform lattice if the quotient $H/\Gamma$ is compact. Such an $H$ is called an envelope of $\Gamma$. In this paper we study the problem of classifying envelopes of…
