We investigate the notion of symplectic divisorial compactification for symplectic 4-manifolds with either convex or concave type boundary. This is motivated by the notion of compactifying divisors for open algebraic surfaces. We give a…

Let $P,$ $S,$ and $T$ be semigroups, $f:P\to S$ and $g:P\to T$ semigroup homomorphisms, and $X$ a generating set for $S$ (possibly infinite). Clearly, a <i>necessary</i> condition for there to exist a homomorphism $S\to T$ making a…

In accordance with the Bing-Borsuk conjecture \cite{bb}, we show that if $X$ is an $n$-dimensional homogeneous metric $ANR$ compactum and $x\in X$, then there is a local basis at x consisting of connected open sets U such that the…

We prove that the image of an isometric embedding into ${\mathbb R}^3$ of a two dimensionnal complete Riemannian manifold $(\Sigma, g)$ without boundary is a convex surface provided both the embedding and the metric $g$ enjoy a…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $I$ be an ideal of $R$. Let $R\Join I$ be the subring of $R\times R$ consisting of the elements $(r,r+i)$ for $r\in R$ and $i\in I$. We study the diameter and girth of the zero-divisor…

We define in the space of n by m matrices of rank n, n less or equal than m, the condition Riemannian structure as follows: For a given matrix A the tangent space of A is equipped with the Hermitian inner product obtained by multiplying the…

Metrically homogeneous graphs are connected graphs which, when endowed with the path metric, are homogeneous as metric spaces. In this paper we introduce the concept of twisted automorphisms, a notion of isomorphism up to a permutation of…

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, endowed with a complete nonarchimedean norm. Let X be a K-rigid analytic variety and \Sigma a semianalytic subset of X. Then the closure of \Sigma in X with respect to the…

Let k be a perfect field and let K/k be a finite extension of fields. An arithmetic noncommutative projective line is a noncommutative space equal to the projectivization of the noncommutative symmetric algebra of a k-central two -sided…

We give a group theoretic characterization of geodesics with superlinear divergence in the Cayley graph of a right-angled Artin group A(G) with connected defining graph G. We use this to determine when two points in an asymptotic cone of…

A lemma of Tits establishes a connection between the simple connectivity of an incidence geometry and the universal completion of an amalgam induced by a sufficiently transitive group of automorphisms of that geometry. In the present paper,…

We work in the setting of linear skew constacyclic codes over a commutative base ring $S$. We show that the notions of $(n,\sigma)$-isometry and $(n,\sigma)$-equivalence introduced by Ou-azzou et al coincide for most skew…

We classify invariant probability measures for non-elementary groups of automorphisms, on any compact K\"ahler surface X, under the assumption that the group contains a so-called "parabolic automorphism". We also prove that except in…

On non-K\"ahler manifolds the notion of harmonic maps is modified to that of Hermitian harmonic maps in order to be compatible with the complex structure. The resulting semilinear elliptic system is {\it not} in divergence form. The case of…

We prove that certain vector bundles over surfaces are ample if they are so when restricted to divisors, certain numerical criteria hold, and they are semistable (with respect to $\det(E)$). This result is a higher-rank version of a theorem…

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of a contractible, non-separating and noncontractible separating Hamiltonian cycle in the edge graph of polyhedral maps on surfaces. In particular, we show the existence of…

In this paper we prove that if R is a left Noetherian and left regular ring such that all finitely generated projective left R-modules are stably free, then the same is true for the completion R[[x;\sigma,\delta]] of any Ore extension…

We show that a complex normal surface singularity admitting a contracting automorphism is necessarily quasihomogeneous. We also describe the geometry of a compact complex surface arising as the orbit space of such a contracting…

Quasi-homogeneous surfaces, or Gizatullin surfaces, are normal affine surfaces such that there exists an open orbit of the automorphism group with a finite complement. If the action of the automorphism group is transitive, the surface is…

Let $A$ be abelian variety over the function field $K$ of a compact Riemann surface $B$. Fix a model $f \colon \mathcal{A} \to B$ of $A/K$ and a certain effective horizontal divisor $\DD \subset \mathcal{A}$. We give a sufficient condition…
