We describe recent work that extends some of the measure and topological rigidity results in dynamical systems from situations homogeneous under a Lie group to quite general manifolds.
Given a Kahler group, we study the set of homomorphisms from this group to the mapping class group which can be realized as the monodromy of a holomorphic family of curves.
We determine when an arithmetic subgroup of a reductive group defined over a global function field is of type FP_\infty by comparing its large-scale geometry to the large-scale geometry of lattices in real semisimple Lie groups.
Some boundedness properties of function spaces (considered as topological groups) are studied.
Given an integer homology class of a finitely presentable group, the systolic volume quantifies how tight could be a geometric realization of this class. In this paper, we study various aspects of this numerical invariant showing that it is…
Taking residual finiteness as a starting point, we consider three related finiteness properties: weak subsemigroup separability, strong subsemigroup separability and complete separability. We investigate whether each of these properties is…
New homotopy invariant finiteness conditions on modules over commutative rings are introduced, and their properties are studied systematically. A number of finiteness results for classical homological invariants like flat dimension,…
We continue our study of ends of non-compact manifolds, with a focus on the inward tameness condition. For manifolds with compact boundary, inward tameness, has significant implications. For example, such manifolds have stable homology at…
The structure of groups for which certain sets of commutator subgroups are finite is investigated, with a particular focus on the relationship between these groups and those with finite derived subgroup.
We prove that the infinite family of asymptotic mapping class groups of surfaces of defined by Funar--Kapoudjian and Aramayona--Funar are of type $F_\infty$, thus answering questions of Funar-Kapoudjian-Sergiescu and Aramayona-Vlamis. As it…
We prove that the homology of the mapping class group of any 3-manifold stabilizes under connected sum and boundary connected sum with an arbitrary 3-manifold when both manifolds are compact and orientable. The stabilization also holds for…
Symmetries of finite Heisenberg groups represent an important tool for the study of deeper structure of finite-dimensional quantum mechanics. This short contribution presents extension of previous investigations to composite quantum systems…
In this paper we prove that the cohomology groups with compact support of stacks of shtukas are modules of finite type over a Hecke algebra. As an application, we extend the construction of excursion operators, defined by V. Lafforgue on…
The mathematical theory of rigidity of body-bar and body-hinge frameworks provides a useful tool for analyzing the rigidity and flexibility of many articulated structures appearing in engineering, robotics and biochemistry. In this paper we…
We show that the mapping class group of a handlebody is a virtual duality group, in the sense of Bieri and Eckmann. In positive genus we give a description of the dualising module of any torsion-free, finite-index subgroup of the handlebody…
We prove that an infinite-ended group whose one-ended factors have finite-index subgroups and are in a family of groups with a nonzero multiplicative invariant is not quasi-isometrically rigid. Combining this result with work of the first…
We survey a number of constructions and open problems related to the handlebody group, with a focus on recent trends in geometric group theory, (co)homological properties, and its relationship to outer automorphism groups of free groups. We…
In this paper, we study some large scale properties of the mother groups of bounded automata groups. First we give two methods to prove every mother group has infinite asymptotic dimension. Then we study the decomposition complexity of…
$p$-Adic compactifications of geometric loop and diffeomorphism groups of compact manifolds on finite-dimensional spaces over non-Archimedean fields are investigated. Weakened topology is introduced. The structure of newly constructed…
In this paper we investigate finiteness properties of totally disconnected locally compact groups for general commutative rings $R$, in particular for $R = \mathbb{Z}$ and $R= \mathbb{Q}$. We show these properties satisfy many analogous…
