The first section of this modest survey reviews some basic notions and describes some families of examples, and the second section briefly indicates some general aspects of analysis on metric spaces. The remaining three sections are…

These are extended notes of a course given at Tulane University for the 2015 Clifford Lectures. Their aim is to present structure results for group schemes of finite type over a field, with applications to Picard varieties and automorphism…

Plan of this report is given below: 1. Motivation from Physical and Mathematical Point of View; 2. Differential Calculi on Finite Groups; 3. Metrics; 4. Lagrangian Field Theory and Symplectic Structure; 5. Scalar Field Theory and Spectral…

This article describes some aspects of Cauchy integrals and related geometry of sets and measures in Euclidean spaces, etc.

A class of Cantor-type spaces and related geometric structures are discussed.

A survey article for AMS Summer Institute at Seattle in 2005.

We give a new characterization of partial groups as a subcategory of symmetric (simplicial) sets. This subcategory has an explicit reflection, which permits one to compute colimits in the category of partial groups. We also introduce the…

This is a survey article on the relationship between algebraic properties of diffeomorphism groups and homotopical properties of foliations, written for the Notices of the AMS.

We define a class of finite groups based on the properties of the closed twins of their power graphs and study the structure of those groups. As a byproduct, we obtain results about finite groups admitting a partition by cyclic subgroups.

In this paper we introduce elements of algebraic geometry over an arbitrary algebraic structure. We prove Unification Theorems which gather the description of coordinate algebras by several ways.

The present paper studies structure of the ring of integer-valued entire functions. We characterize certain classes of prime and maximal ideals and investigate some of their properties.

The theme of this survey is that subgroups of the mapping class group of a finite type surface S can be studied via the geometric/dynamical properties of their action on the Thurston compactification of the Teichmuller space of S, just as…

In this work, we study generalized entropies and information geometry in a group-theoretical framework. We explore the conditions that ensure the existence of some natural properties and at the same time of a group-theoretical structure for…

Coarse geometry is the study of large-scale properties of spaces. In this paper we study group coarse structures (i.e., coarse structures on groups that agree with the algebraic structures), by using group ideals. We introduce a large class…

The notion of quadratic maps between arbitrary groups appeared at several places in the literature on quadratic algebra. Here a unified extensive treatment of their properties is given; the relation with a relative version of Passi's…

This paper is centered around the classical problem of extracting properties of a finite group $G$ from the ring isomorphism class of its integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$. This problem is considered via describing the unit group…

This survey paper describes the role of splines in geometry and topology, emphasizing both similarities and differences from the classical treatment of splines. The exposition is non-technical and contains many examples, with references to…

We prove a categorical duality between a class of abstract algebras of partial functions and a class of (small) topological categories. The algebras are the isomorphs of collections of partial functions closed under the operations of…

Skeletal polyhedra and polygonal complexes are finite or infinite periodic structures in 3-space with interesting geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic properties. These structures can be viewed as finite or infinite periodic graphs…

In this survey article, we review some conceptual approaches to the cyclic category $\Lambda$, as well as its description as a crossed simplicial group. We then give a new proof of the model structure on cyclic sets, work through the…
