If $\Gamma$ is a finitely generated Fuchsian group such that its derived subgroup $\Gamma'$ is co-compact and torsion free, then $S={\mathbb H}^{2}/\Gamma'$ is a closed Riemann surface of genus $g \geq 2$ admitting the abelian group…

We introduce robust families of submanifolds for a linear Lie group $G$. We show that they give rise to geometric subspaces of the representation space ${\rm Hom}(\Gamma,G)$. As an application, we give a unified short proof of results of…

In this article we discuss cohomological obstructions to two kinds of group stability. In the first part, we show that residually finite groups $\Gamma$ which arise as fundamental groups of compact Riemannian manifolds with strictly…

We show that, if $\Gamma$ is a point group of $\mathbb{R}^{k+1}$ of order two for some $k\geq 2$ and $\mathcal S$ is a $k$-pseudomanifold which has a free automorphism of order two, then either $\mathcal S$ has a $\Gamma$-symmetric…

In the present article we discuss the classification of quantum groups whose quasi-classical limit is a given simple complex Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. This problem reduces to the classification of all Lie bialgebra structures on…

It is known that the Picard group of a complex manifold can be expressed as a Deligne cohomology group. One may wonder if the same holds for the Picard group of a smooth algebraic variety and Deligne-Beilinson cohomology but this is not…

We present a new derivation of Hamilton's equations that shows that they have a symmetry group Sp(2n) *s H(n). Sp(2n) is the symplectic group and H(n) is mathematically a Weyl-Heisenberg group that is parameterized by velocity, force and…

A nonpolycyclic nilpotent-by-cyclic group Gamma can be expressed as the HNN extension of a finitely-generated nilpotent group N. The first main result is that quasi-isometric nilpotent-by-cyclic groups are HNN extensions of quasi-isometric…

The Klein-Gordon equation is solved for di-Holeums (gravitational bound states of two micro black holes) for scalar and vector gravity in its static limit. The relativistic models confirm the predictions of the nonrelativistic Newtonian…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be an unramified quadratic extension of $\mathbb{Q}_{p}$ for a fixed $p>2$. Projective general linear groups $G=\operatorname{PGL}_{2}(\mathbb{K})$ and $H=\operatorname{PGL}_{2}(\mathbb{Q}_{p})$ act transitively on…

Suppose $\Gamma$ is an arithmetic group defined over a global field $K$, that the $K$-type of $\Gamma$ is $A_n$ with $n \geq 2$, and that the ambient semisimple group that contains $\Gamma$ as a lattice has at least two noncocompact…

The Cannon Conjecture from the geometric group theory asserts that a word hyperbolic group that acts effectively on its boundary, and whose boundary is homeomorphic to the 2-sphere, is isomorphic to a Kleinian group. We prove the following…

A group $\Gamma$ with a family of subgroups $\mathbb{P}$ is relatively hyperbolic if $\Gamma$ admits a cusp-uniform action on a proper $\delta$--hyperbolic space. We show that any two such spaces for a given group pair are quasi-isometric,…

S. Bigelow proved that the braid groups are linear. That is, there is a faithful representation of the braid group into the general linear group of some field. Using this, we deduce from previously known results that the mapping class group…

Two groups have a common model geometry if they act properly and cocompactly by isometries on the same proper geodesic metric space. The Milnor-Schwarz lemma implies that groups with a common model geometry are quasi-isometric; however, the…

The Lorentz transformation group $SO(m,n)$ is a group of Lorentz transformations of order $(m,n)$, that is, a group of special linear transformations in a pseudo-Euclidean space of signature $(m,n)$ that leave the pseudo-Euclidean inner…

Let $\Gamma$ be a non-elementary Kleinian group and $H<\Gamma$ a finitely generated, proper subgroup. We prove that if $\Gamma$ has finite co-volume, then the profinite completions of $H$ and $\Gamma$ are not isomorphic. If $H$ has finite…

Universal bi-Hamiltonian hierarchies of group-invariant (multicomponent) soliton equations are derived from non-stretching geometric curve flows $\map(t,x)$ in Riemannian symmetric spaces $M=G/H$, including compact semisimple Lie groups…

We define the notion of a parahoric group scheme $\mathcal G$ over a smooth projective curve, and formulate four conjectures on the structure of the stack of $\mathcal G$-bundles, which generalize to this case well-known results on…

We show that the Bergman metric of the ball quotients $\mathbb{B}^2/\Gamma$, where $\Gamma$ is a finite and fixed point free group, is K\"ahler-Einstein if and only if $\Gamma$ is trivial. As a consequence, we characterize the unit ball…
