Let $\mathcal{J}^1$ be the real form of complex simple Jordan algebra with the automorphism group $G$ of type $F_{4(-20)}$. Explicitly, we give the orbit decomposition of $\mathcal{J}^1$ under the action of $G$ and determine the Lie group…

We consider the space of all configurations of finitely many (potentially nested) circles in the plane. We prove that this space is aspherical, and compute the fundamental group of each of its connected components. It turns out these…

We consider an embedded general complex torus $C_n$ into a complex manifold $M_{n+d}$ with a unitary flat normal bundle $N_C$. We show the existence of (non-singular) holomorphic foliation in a neighborhood of $C$ in $M$ having $C$ as leaf…

We generalise to the genus one case several results of Thurston concerning moduli spaces of flat Euclidean structures with conical singularities on the two dimensional sphere. More precisely, we study the moduli space of flat tori with $n$…

We compute the $ K $-theory of quantum automorphism groups of finite dimensional $ C^* $-algebras in the sense of Wang. The results show in particular that the $ C^* $-algebras of functions on the quantum permutation groups $ S_n^+ $ are…

This paper characterizes which subsets of C^n can be the set of positions of n points on a linkage in the complex plane C. For example, assuming compactness they are just compact semialgebraic sets. Noncompact configuration spaces are…

The topological complexity TC(X) is a homotopy invariant which reflects the complexity of the problem of constructing a motion planning algorithm in the space X, viewed as configuration space of a mechanical system. In this paper we…

We prove that an automorphism of order 3 of a putative binary self-dual [120, 60, 24] code C has no fixed points. Moreover, the order of the automorphism group of C divides 2^a.3.5.7.19.23.29 where a is a nonegative integer. Automorphisms…

Cobordism groups of cooriented fold maps of codimension 1 are computed completely. Namely their odd torsion part coincides with that of the stable homotopy group of spheres in the same dimension, while the 2-primary part is the kernel of…

In this paper, we initiate the study of C*-algebras endowed with a twisted action of a locally compact Abelian Lie group, and we construct a twisted crossed product, which is in general a nonassociative, noncommutative, algebra. The…

We classify the automorphic Lie algebras of equivariant maps from a complex torus to $\mathfrak{sl}_2(\mathbb{C})$. For each case we compute a basis in a normal form. The automorphic Lie algebras correspond precisely to two disjoint…

The so-called Tits class, associated to an adjoint absolutely almost simple algebraic group, provides a cohomological obstruction for this group to admit an outer automorphism. If the group has inner type, this obstruction is the only one.…

We determine the group of algebra automorphisms for the two-parameter quantized enveloping algebra $\V$. As an application, we prove that the group of Hopf algebra automorphisms for $\V$ is isomorphic to a torus of rank two.

We study the endomorphism algebra, the automorphism group and the Hodge group of complex tori of complex tori, whose second rational cohomology group enjoys a certain Hodge property introduced by F. Campana.

We compute the two-cocycles (or multipliers) of the free nilpotent groups of class $2$ and rank $n$ and give conditions for simplicity of the corresponding twisted group $C^*$-algebras. These groups are representation groups for…

We study proper holomorphic maps of annuli in complex Euclidean spaces, that is, domains with $U(n)$ as the automorphism group. By the Hartogs phenomenon and a result of Forstneri\v{c}, such maps are always rational and extend to proper…

We provide a short proof that the dimensions of the mod $p$ homology groups of the unordered configuration space $B_k(T)$ of $k$ points in a torus are the same as its Betti numbers for $p>2$ and $k\leq p$. Hence the integral homology has no…

Let $X$ be 2n-dimensional compact manifold with a locally standard action of a compact torus. The orbit space $X/T$ is a manifold with corners. Suppose that all proper faces of $X/T$ are acyclic. In the paper we study the homological…

We study the classification of D-branes in all compact Lie groups including non-simply-laced ones. We also discuss the global structure of the quantum moduli space of the D-branes. D-branes are classified according to their positions in the…

In this paper, we give a characterization for any abelian subgroup G of a lie group of diffeomorphisms maps of C^n, having a somewhere dense orbit G(x), x in C^n: G(x) is somewhere dense in C^n if and only if there are f_{1},....,f_{2n+1 in…
