Real projective structures on $n$-orbifolds are useful in understanding the space of representations of discrete groups into $\mathrm{SL}(n+1, \mathbb{R})$ or $\mathrm{PGL}(n+1, \mathbb{R})$. A recent work shows that many hyperbolic…

We consider definable topological dynamics for $NIP$ groups admitting certain decompositions in terms of specific classes of definably amenable groups. For such a group, we find a description of the Ellis group of its universal definable…

The purpose of this article is to give an exposition of topological properties of spaces of homomorphisms from certain finitely generated discrete groups to Lie groups $G$, and to describe their connections to classical representation…

Let $X$ be a Riemann surface, and let $f:X\to\mathbb{P}^1_\mathbb{C}$ be an indecomposable (branched) covering of genus $g$ and degree $n$ whose monodromy group has more than one minimal normal subgroup. Closing a gap in the literature, we…

The main theorem shows that if M is an irreducible compact connected orientable 3-manifold with non-empty boundary, then the classifying space BDiff(M rel dM) of the space of diffeomorphisms of M which restrict to the identity map on…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…

For a compact connected Lie group $G$ acting as isometries on a compact orientable Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1},$ and cohomogeneity not equal to 0 or 2, we prove the existence of a nontrivial embedded $G$-invariant minimal hypersurface,…

We extend the Siu--Beauville theorem to a certain class of compact Kaehler--Weyl manifolds, proving that they fiber holomorphically over hyperbolic Riemannian surfaces whenever they satisfy the necessary topological hypotheses. As…

Bakker, Brunebarbe, Tsimerman showed in \cite{bakker2022minimal} that the definable structure sheaf $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}^n}$ of $\mathbb{C}^n$ is a coherent $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}^n}$-module as a sheaf on the site…

We characterize those finite groups for which the bounded derived category of finite dimensional representations over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ has distributive lattice of thick subcategories: they are precisely…

For certain theories of existentially closed topological differential fields, we show that there is a strong relationship between $\mathcal L\cup\{D\}$-definable sets and their $\mathcal L$-reducts, where $\mathcal L$ is a relational…

We investigate the concept of definable, or inner, automorphism in the logical setting of partial Horn theories. The central technical result extends a syntactical characterization of the group of such automorphisms (called the covariant…

Let R be an o-minimal expansion of the real field. We introduce a class of Hausdorff limits, the T-infinity limits over R, that do not in general fall under the scope of Marker and Steinhorn's definability-of-types theorem. We prove that if…

In this article, we continue our study of category dynamical systems, that is functors $s$ from a category $G$ to $\Top^{\op}$, and their corresponding skew category algebras. Suppose that the spaces $s(e)$, for $e \in \ob(G)$, are compact…

On a Weinstein manifold, we define a constructible co/sheaf of categories on the skeleton. The construction works with arbitrary coefficients, and depends only on the homotopy class of a section of the Lagrangian Grassmannian of the stable…

We say that a class of finite structures for a finite first-order signature is $r$-compressible if each structure $G$ in the class has a first-order description of size at most $O(r(|G|))$. We show that the class of finite simple groups is…

Let $K$ be a $p$-adically closed field and $G$ a group interpretable in $K$. We show that if $G$ is definably semisimple (i.e. $G$ has no definable infinite normal abelian subgroups) then there exists a finite normal subgroup $H$ such that…

A cover of a finite non-cyclic group $G$ is a family $\mathcal{H}$ of proper subgroups of $G$ whose union equals $G$. A cover of $G$ is called minimal if it has minimal size, and irredundant if it does not properly contain any other cover.…

Consider the real free Lie algebra $\mathfrak{fr}_n$ with generators $\omega_1$, \dots, $\omega_n$. Since it is positively graded, it has a completion $\overline{\mathfrak{fr}}_n$ consisting of formal series. By the Campbell--Hausdorff…

Let X be a normal quasi-projective variety over $\mathbb{C}$. We study its higher Albanese manifolds, introduced by Hain and Zucker, from the point of view of o-minimal geometry. We show that for each $s$ the higher Albanese manifold…
