This is a survey on the automorphism groups in various classes of affine algebraic surfaces and the algebraic group actions on such surfaces. Being infinite-dimensional, these automorphism groups share some important features of algebraic…
In characteristic $0$, symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces (i.e.\ automorphisms preserving the global $2$-form) and non-symplectic ones behave differently. In this paper we consider the actions of the group schemes $\mu_{n}$ on K3…
We consider possibly singular rational projective k*-surfaces and provide an explicit description of the unit component of the automorphism group in terms of isotropy group orders and intersection numbers of suitable invariant curves. As an…
We present some (unfortunately not all) known properties on the Cremona group; when it's possible we mentioned links with the most known group of polynomial automorphisms of the affine plane. The mentioned properties are essentially…
We study the interplay between the dynamics of area-preserving surface homeomorphisms homotopic to the identity and the topology of the surface. We define fully essential dynamics and generalize the results previously obtained on strictly…
Let $S$ be the (minimal) Enriques surface obtained from the symmetric quartic surface $(\sum_{i<j}x_ix_j)^2=kx_1x_2x_3x_4$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$ with $k\neq 0,4,36$, by taking quotient of the Cremona action $(x_i) \mapsto (1/x_i)$. The…
In this paper, we prove a general principle of lifting an automorphism from positive characteristic to zero characteristic. We based on the principle to prove the automorphism group of Fano variety of cubic threefold (fourfold) acts on its…
We give a construction of a smooth realization of a pseudo-Anosov diffeomorphism of a Riemannian surface, and show that it admits a unique SRB measure with polynomial decay of correlations, large deviations, and the central limit theorem.…
We study dynamical systems induced by birational automorphisms on smooth cubic surfaces defined over a number field $K$. In particular we are interested in the product of non-commuting birational Geiser involutions of the cubic surface. We…
We study families of elliptic curves of degree n+1 in $P^n$ containing a fixed set of m points. In the case m = n+3 we show that this family is birationally isomorphic to a smooth complete intersection of n-2 diagonal quadrics in $P^{n+2}$.…
The set of morphisms $\f:\PP^1\to\PP^1$ of degree $d$ is parametrized by an affine open subset $\Rat_d$ of $\PP^{2d+1}$. We consider the action of~$\SL_2$ on $\Rat_d$ induced by the {\it conjugation action\/} of $\SL_2$ on rational maps;…
We prove several rigidity properties for random quotients of mapping class groups of surfaces, namely whose kernel is normally generated by the n-th steps of finitely many independent random walks. Firstly, we generalise a celebrated…
In this paper we discuss the dynamical structure of the rational family $(f_t)$ given by $$f_t(z)=tz^{m}\Big(\frac{1-z}{1+z}\Big)^{n}\quad(m\ge 2,~t\ne 0).$$ Each map $f_t$ has two super-attracting immediate basins and two free critical…
In this second part we study first the group $Aut_{\mathbb Q}(S)$ of numerically trivial automorphisms of an algebraic properly elliptic surface $S$, that is, of a minimal algebraic surface with Kodaira dimension $\kappa(S)=1$, in the case…
We use numerical and analytical tools to demonstrate arguments in favor of the existence of a family of smooth, symplectic diffeomorphisms of the two-dimensional torus that have both a positive measure set with positive Lyapunov exponent…
We define a signed count of real rational pseudo-holomorphic curves appearing in a one-parameter family of real Spin symplectic K3 surfaces. We show that this count is an invariant of the deformation class of the family. In the case of a…
The Cartesian product of two cycles (of length m and length n) has a natural embedding on the torus, such that each face of the embedding is a 4-cycle. The toroidal grid Qd(m,n,r) is a generalization of this in which there is a shift by r…
We develop techniques for using compactifications of Hurwitz spaces to study families of rational maps $\mathbb{P}^1\to\mathbb{P}^1$ defined by critical orbit relations. We apply these techniques in two settings: We show that the parameter…
A general ansatz in Renormalization Theory, already established in many important situations, states that exponential convergence of renormalization orbits implies that topological conjugacies are actually smooth (when restricted to the…
We consider an area-preserving diffeomorphism of a compact surface, which is assumed to be an irrational rotation near each boundary component. A finite set of periodic orbits of the diffeomorphism gives rise to a braid in the mapping…
