We prove that the transitive permutation group 17T7, isomorphic to a split extension of $C_2$ by $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{F}_{16})$, is a Galois group over the rationals. The group arises from the field of definition of the $2$-torsion on an…
First we give a complex ball uniformization of the moduli space of 8 ordered points on the projective line by using the theory of periods of K3 surfaces. Next we give a projective model of this moduli space by using automorphic forms on a…
We study the automorphism group of a compact 7-manifold $M$ endowed with a closed non-parallel G$_2$-structure, showing that its identity component is abelian with dimension bounded by min$\{6,b_2(M)\}$. This implies the non-existence of…
We classify the polarized symplectic automorphisms of Fano varieties of smooth cubic fourfolds (equipped with the Pl\"ucker polarization) and study the fixed loci.
We prove the following result: Let $(X,g_0)$ be a complete, connected 4-manifold with uniformly positive isotropic curvature and with bounded geometry. Then there is a finite collection $\mathcal{F}$ of manifolds of the form $\mathbb{S}^3…
In this paper, we list all cyclic automorphisms subgroups $H$ for which there exists a smooth projective non-hyperelliptic sextic curve $C$ with $H\preceq Aut(C)$. Furthermore, we attach to each group a defining equation of a plane sextic…
Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 2$. Let $Aut(X)$ be its group of automorphisms and $G\subseteq Aut(X)$ a subgroup. Sharp upper bounds for $|G|$ in terms of $g$ are known if $G$ belongs to certain classes of groups, e.g.…
Let $\L_g^G$ denote the locus of hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ whose automorphism group contains a subgroup isomorphic to $G$. We study spaces $\L_g^G$ for $G \iso \Z_n, \Z_2{\o}\Z_n, \Z_2{\o}A_4$, or $SL_2(3)$. We show that for $G \iso…
We prove that there exists a holomorphic symplectic manifold deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of two points on a K3 surface that admits a non-symplectic automorphism of order 23, that is the maximal possible prime order in this…
The exceptional holonomy groups are G2 in 7 dimensions, and Spin(7) in 8 dimensions. Riemannian manifolds with these holonomy groups are Ricci-flat. This is a survey paper on exceptional holonomy, in two parts. Part I introduces the…
We show that the topological full group of a Hausdorff ample groupoid with compact unit space coincides with the group of homotopy classes of invertible isometries in pseudofunction algebras associated with the groupoid. Moreover, if the…
We show that the affine cones over a general Fano-Mukai fourfold of genus $g=7$, $8$ and $9$ are flexible. Equivalently, there is an infinitely transitive action of the special automorphism group on such affine cones. In particular, any…
The present work completes the classification of the compact Riemann surfaces of genus g with an analytic automorphism of order p (prime number) and p > g. More precisely, we construct a parameteriza- tion space for them, we compute their…
We study the rational homotopy types of classifying spaces of automorphism groups of smooth simply connected manifolds of dimension at least five. We give dg Lie algebra models for the homotopy automorphisms and the block diffeomorphisms of…
We isolate a class of smooth rational cubic fourfolds X containing a plane whose associated quadric surface bundle does not have a rational section. This is equivalent to the nontriviality of the Brauer class of the even Clifford algebra…
Every isometry $\sigma$ of a positive-definite even lattice $Q$ can be lifted to an automorphism of the lattice vertex algebra $V_Q$. An important problem in vertex algebra theory and conformal field theory is to classify the…
We give a way to construct group of pseudo-automorphisms of rational varieties of any dimension that fix pointwise the image of a cubic hypersurface of $P^n. These group are free products of involutions, and most of their elements have…
The question of existence of outer automorphisms of a simple algebraic group $G$ arises naturally both when working with the Galois cohomology of $G$ and as an example of the algebro-geometric problem of determining which connected…
There are six orientable, compact, flat 3-manifolds that can occur as cusp cross-sections of hyperbolic 4-manifolds. This paper provides criteria for exactly when a given commensurability class of arithmetic hyperbolic 4-manifolds contains…
In this paper we analyze possible actions of an automorphism of order six on a $2$-$(70, 24, 8)$ design, and give a complete classification for the action of the cyclic automorphism group of order six $G= \langle \rho \rangle \cong Z_6…
