We consider the problem of deciding if a group is the fundamental group of a smooth connected complex quasi-projective (or projective) variety using Alexander-based invariants. In particular, we solve the problem for large families of…

We introduce W-spin structures on a Riemann surface and give a precise definition to the corresponding W-spin equations for any quasi-homogeneous polynomial W. Then, we construct examples of nonzero solutions of spin equations in the…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a class of topological semigroups. A semigroup $X$ is called $absolutely$ $\mathcal C$-$closed$ if for any homomorphism $h:X\to Y$ to a topological semigroup $Y\in\mathcal C$, the image $h[X]$ is closed in $Y$. Let…

The ring of symmetric functions occupies a central place in algebraic combinatorics, with a particularly notable role in Schubert calculus, where the standard cell decompositions of Grassmannians yield the celebrated family of Schur…

A compact subset $K$ of the complex plane $\C$ is a set of polynomial (respectively rational) approximation if $P(K)=A(K)$ (respectively $R(K)=A(K)$), where $P(K)$ (respectively $R(K)$) is the family of functions on $K$ which are uniform…

By a [$K$-]approximate subring of a ring we mean an additively symmetric subset $X$ such that $X \cdot X \cup (X + X)$ is covered by finitely many [resp.\ $K$] additive translates of $X$. We prove a structure theorem for finite approximate…

Let K be a discretly henselian field whose residue field is separably closed. Answering a question raised by G. Prasad, we show that a semisimple K-- group G is quasi-split if and only if it quasi--splits after a finite tamely ramified…

Working over an arbitrary field, we define compact semisimple 2-categories, and show that every compact semisimple 2-category is equivalent to the 2-category of separable module 1-categories over a finite semisimple tensor 1-category. Then,…

Let G and F be finitely generated groups with infinitely many ends and let A and B be graph of groups decompositions of F and G such that all edge groups are finite and all vertex groups have at most one end. We show that G and F are…

We generalize a result of J. C. Kelly to the setting of Ahlfors $Q$-regular metric measure spaces supporting a $1$-Poincar\'e inequality. It is shown that if $X$ and $Y$ are two Ahlfors $Q$-regular spaces supporting a $1$-Poincar\'e…

It is proved that if $G$ is a compact Lie group, then an equivariant Serre fibration of $G$-CW-complexes is an equivariant Hurewicz fibration in the class of compactly generated $G$-spaces. In the nonequivariant setting, this result is due…

In this article we continue our investigation of the Derived Equivalences over noetherian quasi-projective schemes $X$, over affine schemes $\spec{A}$. For integers $k\geq 0$, let $C{\mathbb M}^k(X)$ denote the category of coherent…

Generalizing a construction of Wolfgang L\"uck and Bob Oliver, we define a good equivariant cohomology theory on the category of proper G-CW complexes when G is an arbitrary Lie group (possibly non-compact). This is done by constructing an…

The main aim of this paper is to construct a complex analytic family of symmetric projective K3 surfaces through a compactifiable deformation family of complete quasi-projective varieties from $\operatorname{CP}^2…

This short note summarizes a number of facts about the ring $K^0(X)$ for $X$ a $4$-dimensional CW-complex. Unusual features of this dimension are that every complex vector bundle is determined up to stable isomorphism by its Chern classes,…

Quasiconformal maps are homeomorphisms with useful local distortion inequalities; infinitesimally, they map balls to ellipsoids with bounded eccentricity. This leads to a number of useful regularity properties, including quantitative…

In \cite{ZW}, the notion of homogenous perfect set as a generalization of Cantor type sets is introduced. Their Hausdorff, lower box-counting, upper box-counting and packing dimensions are studied in \cite{ZW} and \cite{WW}. In this paper,…

This article introduces proximal cell complexes in a hyperconnected space. Hyperconnectedness encodes how collections of path-connected sub-complexes in a Alexandroff-Hopf-Whitehead CW space are near to or far from each other. Several main…

Let $F$ be Cayley's ruled cubic surface in a projective three-space over any commutative field $K$. We determine all collineations fixing $F$, as a set, and all cubic forms defining $F$. For both problems the cases $|K|=2,3$ turn out to be…

We analyze the recent examples of quantum semigroups defined by M.M. Sadr who also brought up several open problems concerning these objects. These are defined as quantum families of maps from finite sets to a fixed compact quantum…
