We introduce moment maps for continuous unitary representations of general topological groups. For solvable separable locally compact groups, we prove that the closure of the image of the moment map of any representation is convex.
Based on Morse theory for the energy functional on path spaces we develop a deformation theory for mapping spaces of spheres into orthogonal groups. This is used to show that these mapping spaces are weakly homotopy equivalent, in a stable…
In a previous paper, we constructed an explicit dynamical correspondence between certain Kleinian reflection groups and certain anti-holomorphic rational maps on the Riemann sphere. In this paper, we show that their deformation spaces share…
Some results from arguments of research dealt with R. Raczka are exposed and extended. In particular new arguments are brought in favor of the conjecture, formulated with him, that both space-time and momentum may be conformally…
We introduce and study a notion of cylinder coherator similar to the notion of Grothendieck coherator which define more flexible notion of weak infinity groupoids. We show that each such cylinder coherator produces a combinatorial…
We characterize the smallest finite spaces with the same homotopy groups of the spheres. Similarly, we describe the minimal finite models of any finite graph. We also develop new combinatorial techniques based on finite spaces to study…
We introduce some compact orbifolds on which there is a certain finite group action having a simple convex polytope as the orbit space. We compute the orbifold fundamental group and homology groups of these orbifolds. We calculate the…
We study analogues of Cartan decompositions of Lie groups for totally disconnected locally compact groups. It is shown using these decompositions that a large class of totally disconnected locally compact groups acting on trees and…
The objective of this work is to reconsider the schematization problem of [6], with a particular focus on the global case over Z. For this, we prove the conjecture [Conj. 2.3.6][15] which gives a formula for the homotopy groups of the…
It is known that shape injectivity implies homotopical Hausdorff and that the converse does not hold, even if the space is required to be a Peano continuum. This paper gives an alternative definition of homotopical Hausdorff inspired by a…
Given a topological group G, its orbit category Orb_G has the transitive G-spaces G/H as objects and the G-equivariant maps between them as morphisms. A well known theorem of Elmendorf then states that the category of G-spaces and the…
Homotopy type theory is a formal language for doing abstract homotopy theory -- the study of identifications. But in unmodified homotopy type theory, there is no way to say that these identifications come from identifying the path-connected…
This article investigates the complex symplectic geometry of the deformation space of complex projective structures on a closed oriented surface of genus at least 2. The cotangent symplectic structure given by the Schwarzian parametrization…
We generalize the classical coorbit space theory developed by Feichtinger and Gr"ochenig to quasi-Banach spaces. As a main result we provide atomic decompositions for coorbit spaces defined with respect to quasi-Banach spaces. These atomic…
We discuss the `hd-compactification' of a semi-simple Lie group to a manifold with corners; it is the real analog of the wonderful compactification of deConcini and Procesi. There is a 1-1 correspondence between the boundary faces of the…
We construct a cohomology theory with compact support H^i_c(X_ar,Z(n))$ for separated schemes of finite type over a finite field, which should play a role analog to Lichtenbaum's Weil-etale cohomology groups for smooth and projective…
We investigate properties of closed approximate subgroups of locally compact groups, with a particular interest for approximate lattices i.e. those approximate subgroups that are discrete and have finite co-volume. We prove an approximate…
Let $\bold G$ be a reductive algebraic group defined over $\Q$, and let $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $\bold G(\Q)$. Let $X$ be the symmetric space for $\bold G(\R)$, and assume $X$ is contractible. Then the cohomology (mod torsion)…
We already saw in [A1] that the space of dynamically marked rational maps can be identified to a subspace of the space of covers between trees of spheres on which there is a notion of convergence that makes it sequentially compact. In the…
We consider two categories related to symplectic manifolds: 1. Objects are symplectic manifolds and morphisms are symplectic embeddings. 2. Objects are symplectic manifolds endowed with compatible almost complex structure and morphisms are…
