This paper generalizes the concept of index and co-index and some related results for free actions of G = S0 on a paracompact Hausdorff space which were introduced by Conner and Floyd. We define the index and co-index of a finitistic free…

The covariant phase space method of Iyer, Lee, Wald, and Zoupas gives an elegant way to understand the Hamiltonian dynamics of Lagrangian field theories without breaking covariance. The original literature however does not systematically…

There are known infinite families of Brieskorn homology 3-spheres which can be realized as boundaries of smooth contractible 4-manifolds. In this paper we show that free periodic actions on these Brieskorn spheres do not extend smoothly…

We consider canonical/Weyl-Moyal type noncommutative (NC) spaces with rectilinear coordinates. Motivated by the analogy of the formalism of the quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator problem in quantum phase-space with that of the…

The automorphisms of a two-generator free group acting on the space of orientation-preserving isometric actions of on hyperbolic 3-space defines a dynamical system. Those actions which preserve a hyperbolic plane but not an orientation on…

We develop here a simple formalism that converts the second-class constraints into first-class ones for a particle moving on the $n$-dimensional sphere. The Poisson algebra generated by the Hamiltonian and the constraints closes and by…

We introduce three space-times that are discrete in time and compatible with the Lorentz symmetry. We show that these spaces are no commutative, with commutation relations similar to the relations of the Snyder and Yang spaces. Furthermore,…

We show that the moduli space of ordered 5 points on the projective line is isomorphic to an arithmetic quotient of a complex ball by using the theory of periods of K3 surfaces. We also discuss a relation between our uniformization and the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a group of type rotating automorphisms of a building $\fX$ of type $\tilde A_n$ and order $q$. Suppose that $\G$ acts freely and transitively on the vertex set of $\fX$. Then the action of $\Gamma$ on the boundary of $\fX$…

We prove the existence of a polynomial invariant that satisfies the HOMFLY skein relation for links in a lens space. In the process we also develop a skein theory of toroidal grid diagrams in a lens space.

A periodic automorphism of a surface $\Sigma$ is said to be extendable over $S^3$ if it extends to a periodic automorphism of the pair $(S^3,\Sigma)$ for some possible embedding $\Sigma\to S^3$. We classify and construct all extendable…

Using Freedman and Quinn's result for $\mathbb{Z}$-homology 3-spheres, we show that a 3-dimensional homology handle with trivial Alexander polynomial bounds a homology $S^1\times D^3$. As a consequence, a distinguished homology handle with…

We classify, up to orbit equivalence, all cohomogeneity one actions on the hyperbolic planes over the complex, quaternionic and Cayley numbers, and on the complex hyperbolic spaces of dimension greater than two. For the quaternionic…

We give an explicit description of the spectrum of the Hodge--Laplace operator on $p$-forms of an arbitrary lens space for any $p$. We write the two generating functions encoding the $p$-spectrum as rational functions. As a consequence, we…

To every $n$-dimensional lens space $L$, we associate a congruence lattice $\mathcal L$ in $\mathbb Z^m$, with $n=2m-1$ and we prove a formula relating the multiplicities of Hodge-Laplace eigenvalues on $L$ with the number of lattice…

We investigate the existence of homotopy comoment maps (comoments) for high-dimensional spheres seen as multisymplectic manifolds. Especially, we solve the existence problem for compact effective group actions on spheres and provide…

A hyperbolic group acts by homeomorphisms on its Gromov boundary. We show that if this boundary is a topological n-sphere the action is topologically stable in the dynamical sense: any nearby action is semi-conjugate to the standard…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed connected co-orientable contact $3$-manifold $(M,\xi)$ to be a standard lens space based on assumptions on the Reeb flow associated to a defining contact form. Our methods also…

We describe an effective field theory for atomic lasers which reduces to the Jaynes-Cummings model in the non-relativistic, single mode limit. Our action describes a multi-mode system, with general polarizations and Lorentz invariance and…

These are the notes for a series of lectures at the Institute of Geometry and Topology of the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in July 13-15, 2022. We assume basic knowledge of isometric actions on Riemannian manifolds, including the…
