We consider groups of piecewise-projective homeomorphisms of the line which are known to be non-amenable using notably the Carriere--Ghys theorem on ergodic equivalence relations. Replacing that theorem by an explicit fixed-point argument,…

We show that a group acting on a non-trivial tree with finite edge stabilizers and icc vertex stabilizers admits a faithful and highly transitive action on an infinite countable set. This result is actually true for infinite vertex…

Many tight frames of interest are constructed via their Gramian matrix (which determines the frame up to unitary equivalence). Given such a Gramian, it can be determined whether or not the tight frame is projective group frame, i.e., is the…

In the current paper we attempt to transfer the notion of the projectional entropy, originally defined for multidimensional subshifts, to the case of actions of amenable groups. The main theorem states that if a system is strongly…

For some countable discrete torsion Abelian groups we give examples of their finite measure-preserving actions which have simple spectrum and no approximate transitivity property.

An additive action on an algebraic variety is an effective action of the vector group with an open orbit. We describe projective surfaces with du Val singularities that admit an additive action with a finite number of orbits. In particular,…

In this paper some reflections on the concept of transition are presented: groupoids are introduced as models for the construction of a ``generalized logic'' whose basic statements involve pairs of propositions which can be conditioned. In…

We show, for several fake projective planes with nontrivial automorphism group, that the bicanonical map is an embedding.

The Donald-Flanigan conjecture asserts that any group algebra of a finite group has a separable deformation. We apply an inductive method to deform group algebras from deformations of normal subgroup algebras, establishing an infinite…

We apply an improvement of the Delsarte LP-bound to give a new proof of the non-existence of finite projective planes of order 6, and uniqueness of finite projective planes of order 7. The proof is computer aided, and it is also feasible to…

Our aim is to describe the theory of Cartesian decompositions preserved by some member of a large family of finite transitive permutation groups called innatelytransitive groups.

Brunella's classification implies that every smooth foliation on a compact complex surface admits a singular transversely projective structure. However, Biswas and Dumitrescu's recent work shows that certain foliations on compact complex…

A transitive permutation group of prime degree is doubly transitive or solvable. We give a direct proof of this theorem by Burnside which uses neither S-ring type arguments, nor representation theory.

We prove that a triangulation of the projective plane is (strongly) $t$-perfect if and only if it is perfect and contains no $K_4$.

In this note, we give new examples of type I groups generalizing a previous result of Ol'shanskii. More precisely, we prove that all closed non-compact subgroups of Aut(T_d) acting transitively on the vertices and on the boundary of a…

The aim of this work is to prove that the connected parts of Farey complex structure in plane are triangles or quadrangles. To do this work we go back to plane convex polygones with oriented edge for wich we prove that if two consecutive…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the addition of a collection of disjoint bypasses to a convex surface to be universally tight -- namely the nonexistence of a polygonal region which we call a virtual pinwheel.

We introduce the class of projective reflection groups which includes all complex reflection groups. We show that several aspects involving the combinatorics and the representation theory of all non exceptional irreducible complex…

We propose a projective version of the celebrated Brauer's Height Zero Conjecture on characters of finite groups and prove it, among other cases, for $p$-solvable groups as well as for (some) quasi-simple groups.

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition on an element of a finite Coxeter group to ensure the transitivity of the Hurwitz action on its set of reduced decompositions into products of reflections. We show that this action is…
