This note studies the Burnside problem for homeomorphism groups of compact connected manifolds. For surfaces, we prove that the identity component of the homeomorphism group is torsion-free precisely when the surface is not the sphere,…
Fix a finite group $G$. We study $\Omega^{SO,G}_2$ and $\Omega^{U,G}_2$, the unitary and oriented bordism groups of smooth $G$-equivariant compact surfaces, respectively, and we calculate them explicitly. Their ranks are determined by the…
Quite a number of $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-gradings, $n\geq 2$, appear in Physics and in Mathematics. The corresponding sign rules are given by the `scalar product' of the involved $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$-degrees. The new theory exhibits challenging…
We obtain a solution to a bordism version of Gromov's linearity problem over a large family of acyclic groups, for manifolds with arbitrary dimension. Every group embeds into some acyclic group in this family. Thus, the linear bordism…
We compute the equivariant bordism of free oriented $(\mathbb{Z}/p)^n$-manifolds as a module over $\Omega_*^{SO}$, when $p$ is an odd prime. We show, among others, that this module is canonically isomorphic to a direct sum of suspensions of…
Generalizing the ideas of $\mathbb{Z}_k$-manifolds from Sullivan and stratifolds from Kreck, we define $\mathbb{Z}_k$-stratifolds. We show that the bordism theory of $\mathbb{Z}_k$-stratifolds is sufficient to represent all homology classes…
Let $k = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{\alpha})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $\alpha$ is a positive square-free integer. Let $\mathcal{O}_k$ be the ring of integers of $k$. In this paper, we prove that a certain set of $2 \times 2$ singular…
It was conjectured at the end of the book "Representation theory of Artin algebras" by M. Auslander, I. Reiten and S. Smalo that an Artin algebra with the property that its finitely generated indecomposable modules are up to isomorphism…
Let $R$ be an algebra over a ring $\Bbbk$, $T$ an $R$-algebra, $M$ a finitely generated projective $R$-module, and $N$ a $T$-module. Let $G$ be a linearly reductive group scheme over $\Bbbk$ equipped with a representation…
In this paper we consider a class of connected closed $G$-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each $M$ of which is totally non-homologous to zero in $M_G$ (or $G$-equivariantly formal), where $G={\Bbb Z}_2$. With the help of…
The equivariant bordism classification of manifolds with group actions is an essential subject in the study of transformation groups. We are interesting in the action of 2-torus group $\mathbb{Z}_2^n$ and torus group $T^n$, and study the…
Let $V$ be a plane smooth cubic curve over a finitely generated field $k.$ The Mordell-Weil theorem for $V$ states that there is a finite subset $P\subset V(k)$ such that the whole $V(k)$ can be obtained from $P$ by drawing secants and…
We study the orchard problem on cubic surfaces. We classify possibly reducible cubic surfaces $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^3(\C)$ with smooth components on which there exist families of finite sets (of unbounded size) with quadratically many…
We prove that the category of $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-manifolds has all finite products. Further, we show that a $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-manifold (resp., a $\mathbb{Z}_2 ^n$-morphism) can be reconstructed from its algebra of global $\mathbb{Z}_2…
For every algebraically closed field $k$ and natural number $r$, we construct several algebraic varieties (over $k$) whose birational automorphism group contains every finite nilpotent group of class at most $2$, rank at most $r$ whose…
We provide new computations in bounded cohomology: A group is boundedly acyclic if its bounded cohomology with trivial real coefficients is zero in all positive degrees. We show that there exists a continuum of finitely generated…
We prove that every finitely-generated group of homeomorphisms of the 2-dimensional sphere all of whose elements have a finite order which is a power of 2 and so that there exists a uniform bound for the order of group elements is finite.…
We construct geometric generators of the effective $S^1$-equivariant Spin- (and oriented) bordism groups with two inverted. We apply this construction to the question of which $S^1$-manifolds admit invariant metrics of positive scalar…
The first part of the paper is a brief overview of Hindman's finite sums theorem, its prehistory and a few of its further generalizations, and a modern technique used in proving these and similar results, which is based on idempotent…
For a reductive connected group or a finite group over a field of characteristic zero, we define an equivariant algebraic cobordism theory by a generalized version of the double point relation of Levine-Pandharipande. We prove basic…
