A precise meaning is given to the notion of continuous iteration of a mapping. Usual discrete iterations are extended into a dynamical flow which is a homotopy of them all. The continuous iterate reveals that a dynamical map is formend by…

We present a simple approach to questions of topological orbit equivalence for actions of countable groups on topological and smooth manifolds. For example, for any action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a topological manifold where the…

A Generalized Inoue--Bombieri (GIB) manifold $M$ is a compact quotient of a connected Riemannian product $\mathbb{R}^q \times (N,g _N)$ by a discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{Sim}(\mathbb{R}^q) \times \mathrm{Isom}(N,g_N)$. The flat factor…

Every affine Weyl group appears as the iterated monodromy group of a Chebyshev-like polynomial self-map of $\mathbb{C}^n$.

For a Poisson manifold $M$ we develop systematic methods to compute its Picard group $Pic(M)$, i.e., its group of self Morita equivalences. We establish a precise relationship between $Pic(M)$ and the group of gauge transformations up to…

Let $I(X,R)$ be the incidence algebra of the preordered set $X$ over the ring $R$. In the case of a finite connected partially ordered set $X$, we prove that the subgroup of inner multiplicative automorphisms is a direct factor of the group…

In this article, we study the properties of profinite geometric iterated monodromy groups associated to polynomials. Such groups can be seen as generic representations of absolute Galois groups of number fields into the automorphism group…

We study $b'_1(M)$, the co-rank of the fundamental group of a smooth closed connected manifold $M$. We calculate this value for the direct product of manifolds. We characterize the set of all possible combinations of $b'_1(M)$ and the first…

We show how multiplier ideals can be used to obtain uniform multiplicative bounds for certain families of ideals on a smooth complex algebraic variety. In particular we prove a quick but rather surprising result about symbolic powers of…

Let $k = \mathbb{F}_p$ or $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (or finite extensions of these). Let $G$ be a $p$-valuable group, and form its completed group algebra $kG$. By analysing the conjugation action of $G$ on itself, we prove two structural results.…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a foliation with a "singular" submanifold $B$ on a smooth manifold $M$ and $p:E \to B$ be a regular neighborhood of $B$ in $M$. Under certain "homogeneity" assumptions on $\mathcal{F}$ near $B$ we prove that every leaf…

A group $\Gamma$ is defined to be cofinitely Hopfian if every homomorphism $\Gamma\to\Gamma$ whose image is of finite index is an automorphism. Geometrically significant groups enjoying this property include certain relatively hyperbolic…

Let U be a smooth geometrically connected affine curve over $\mathbb{F}_p$ with compactification X. Following Dwork and Katz, a $p$-adic representation $\rho$ of $\pi_1(U)$ corresponds to an \'etale $F$-isocrystal. By work of Tsuzuki and…

Using the theory of group action, we first introduce the concept of the automorphism group of an exponential family or a graphical model, thus formalizing the general notion of symmetry of a probabilistic model. This automorphism group…

Any finite union of disjoint, mutually exterior Jordan curves in the complex plane can be approximated arbitrarily well in the Hausdorff topology by polynomial Julia sets. Furthermore, the proof is constructive.

This work delves into the {\it quotient of an affine semigroup by a positive integer}, exploring its intricate properties and broader implications. We unveil an {\it associated tree} that serves as a valuable tool for further analysis.…

We prove that in genus bigger than $2$, the mapping class group action on $\mathrm{Aff}(\mathbb{C})$-characters is ergodic. This implies that almost every representation $\pi_1 S \longrightarrow \mathrm{Aff}(\mathbb{C})$ is the holonomy of…

Given word on $n$ letters, we study groups which satisfiy "iterated identity" $w$, meaning that for all $x_1, \dots, x_n$ there exists $m$ such that $m$-the iteration of $w$ of Engel type, applied to $x_1, \dots, x_n$, is equal to the…

Let $f(x) = ax^d + b \in K[x]$ be a unicritical polynomial with degree $d \geq 2$ which is coprime to $\mathrm{char} K$. We provide an explicit presentation for the profinite iterated monodromy group of $f$, analyze the structure of this…

We show that for any continuous monotonic fixed-point free automorphism $f$ on a $\sigma$-compact subgroup $G\subset \mathbb R$ there exists a binary operation $+_f$ such that $\langle G, +_f\rangle$ is a topological group topologically…
