Prolongations of a group extension can be studied in a more general situation that we call group extensions of the co-type of a crossed module. Cohomology classification of such extensions is obtained by applying the obstruction theory of…
The isomorphism problem for infinite finitely presented groups is probably the hardest among standard algorithmic problems in group theory. Classes of groups where it has been completely solved are nilpotent groups, hyperbolic groups, and…
Building on Schlessinger's work, we define a framework for studying geometric deformation problems which allows us to systematize the relationship between the local and global tangent and obstruction spaces of a deformation problem.…
This article is a revised version of the talk I gave at the conference ``Beauville Surfaces and groups'' held in Newcastle in June 2012. It presents some group theoretical methods to give bounds on the number of connected components of the…
The article contains a few questions and speculations related to the moduli spaces of curves, K3 surfaces, maps, and sheaves presented in the problem session of the AGNES conference in Amherst (April 2010).
This paper introduces a novel dataset, called LCDMoire, which was created for the first-ever image demoireing challenge that was part of the Advances in Image Manipulation (AIM) workshop, held in conjunction with ICCV 2019. The dataset…
This article surveys recent advances and future challenges in the $2$-representation theory of finitary $2$-categories with a particular emphasis on problems related to classification of various classes of $2$-representations.

We describe the full automorphism group of the power (di)graph of a finite group. As an application, we solve a conjecture proposed by Doostabadi, Erfanian and Jafarzadeh in 2013.
We explicitly compute the diffeomorphism group of several types of linear foliations (with dense leaves) on the torus $T^n$, $n\geq 2$, namely codimension one foliations, flows, and the so-called non-quadratic foliations. We show in…
Motivated by the study of the electrodynamics of particles, we propose in this work an arbitrary-order discrete de Rham scheme for the treatment of elliptic problems with potential and flux jumps across a fixed interface. The scheme…
We rigorously prove the convergence of weak solutions to a model for lipid raft formation in cell membranes which was recently proposed by Garcke et al. to weak (varifold) solutions of the corresponding sharp-interface problem for a…
We give a geometric description of a certain class of epimorphisms between complex reflection groups. We classify these epimorphisms, which can be interpreted as ``morphisms'' between the diagrams symbolizing standard presentations by…
This paper is based on a course given by the author at the University of Rome ``La Sapienza'' in the Academic year 2000/2001. The intended aim of the course was to rapidly introduce, although not in an exhaustive way, the non-expert PhD…
Second-order equations of motion on a group manifold that appear in a large class of so-called chiral theories are presented. These equations are presented and explicitely solved for cases of semi-simple, finite-dimensional Lie groups. With…
The basic functional equations for connected and 2-connnected graphs can be traced back to the statistical physicists Mayer and Husimi. They play an essential role in establishing rigorously the virial expansion for imperfect gases. We…
In this paper we study the deformation problem of pairs consisting of a Riemann surface and a holomorphic line bundle over that surface, and also sections thereof. We emphasize a constructive approach throughout and work and use covering…
In this article, we develop a systematic cohomological framework for the study of the rigidity of nilpotent Lie foliations with respect to solvable deformations. We introduce the deformation complex associated to a pair of Lie algebras…
The current article studies certain problems related to complex cycles of holomorphic foliations with singularities in the complex plane. We focus on the case when polynomial differential one-form gives rise to a foliation by Riemann…
This is a book on derived foliations, that are a generalisation of classical foliations in the context of derived geometry. The text starts with the basic definitions and constructions, then explore foliated cohomology (with crystal…
