Every indefinite binary form occurs as the Picard lattice of some K3-surface. The group of its isometries, or automorphs, coincides with the automorphism group of the K3-surface, but only up to finite groups. The classical theory of…

This paper is an addition to the book [54] on Compact projective planes. Such planes, if connected and finite-dimensional, have a point space of topological dimension 2, 4, 8, or 16, the classical example in the last case being the…

It is proved that the group of holomorphic automorphisms of holomorphically homogeneous nondegenerate (finite Bloom-Graham type + holomorphic nondegenaracy) model surface Q is a subgroup of the group of birational automorphisms of the…

We prove that every finite group is the automorphism group of a finite abstract polytope isomorphic to a face-to-face tessellation of a sphere by topological copies of convex polytopes. We also show that this abstract polytope may be…

Let G be a free group in a variety of groups, but G is not absolutely free. We prove that the group of automorphisms Aut(G) is linear iff G is a virtually nilpotent group.

Let O be a complete discrete valuation domain with finite residue field. In this paper we describe the irreducible representations of the groups Aut(M) for any finite O-module M of rank two. The main emphasis is on the interaction between…

Let G be a connected, real, semisimple Lie group contained in its complexification G_C, and let K be a maximal compact subgroup of G. We construct a K_C-G double coset domain in G_C, and we show that the action of G on the K-finite vectors…

We show how one can associate to a given class of finite type G-structures a classifying Lie algebroid. The corresponding Lie groupoid gives models for the different geometries that one can find in the class, and encodes also the different…

An algebra $L$ over a field $\Bbb F$, in which product is denoted by $[\,,\,]$, is said to be \textit{ Lie type algebra} if for all elements $a,b,c\in L$ there exist $\alpha, \beta\in \Bbb F$ such that $\alpha\neq 0$ and $[[a,b],c]=\alpha…

If $G$ is a semisimple Lie group of real rank at least 2 and $\Gamma$ is an irreducible lattice in $G$, then every homomorphism from $\Gamma$ to the outer automorphism group of a finitely generated free group has finite image.

Let $p$ be a prime. Given a split semisimple group scheme $G$ over a normal integral domain $R$ which is a faithfully flat $\mathbb Z_{(p)}$-algebra, we classify all finite dimensional representations $V$ of the fiber $G_K$ of $G$ over…

We study the automorphism group of graphons (graph limits). We prove that after an appropriate "standardization" of the graphon, the automorphism group is compact. Furthermore, we characterize the orbits of the automorphism group on…

We present Bianchi's proof on the classification of real (and complex) $3$-dimensional Lie algebras in a coordinate free version from a strictly representation theoretic point of view. Nearby we also compute the automorphism groups and from…

Last years a number of papers were devoted to describing automorphisms of semigroups of endomorphisms of free finitely generated universal algebras of some varieties: groups, semigroups, associative commutative algebras, inverse semigroups,…

We show that there exist infinite-dimensional quasi-flats in the compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphism group of the Liouville domain, with respect to the spectral norm, if and only if the symplectic cohomology of this Liouville…

We explain a connection between the algebraic and geometric properties of groups of contact transformations, open book decompositions, and flexible Legendrian embeddings. The main result is that, if a closed contact manifold $(V, \xi)$ has…

Associated to any manifold equipped with a closed form of degree >1 is an `L-infinity algebra of observables' which acts as a higher/homotopy analog of the Poisson algebra of functions on a symplectic manifold. In order to study Lie group…

We study manifolds endowed with an (almost) even Clifford (hermitian) structure and admitting a large automorphism group. We classify them when they are simply connected and the dimension of the automorphism group is maximal, and also prove…

Automorphic loops are loops in which all inner mappings are automorphisms. A large class of automorphic loops is obtained as follows: Let $m$ be a positive even integer, $G$ an abelian group, and $\alpha$ an automorphism of $G$ that…

Finite-sheeted covering mappings onto compact connected groups are studied. It is shown that a finite-sheeted covering mapping from a connected Hausdorff topological space onto a compact connected abelian group G must be a homeomorphism…
