A theoretical framework is established for explicitly calculating rigid kernels of self-similar regular branch groups. This is applied to a new infinite family of branch groups in order to provide the first examples of self-similar, branch…

We construct a family of groups which generalize the Hanoi towers group and study the congruence subgroup problem for the groups in this family. We show that unlike the Hanoi towers group, the groups in this generalization are just infinite…

We state and study the congruence subgroup problem for groups acting on rooted tree, and for branch groups in particular. The problem is reduced to the computation of the congruence kernel, which we split into two parts: the branch kernel…

In this work, we provide the first example of an infinite family of branch groups in the class of non-contracting self-similar groups. We show that these groups are very strongly fractal, not regular branch, and of exponential growth.…

We introduce the $k$-peg Hanoi automorphisms and Hanoi self-similar groups, a generalization of the Hanoi Towers groups, and give conditions for them to be contractive. We analyze the limit spaces of a particular family of contracting Hanoi…

I prove that the group of symmetries of the Tower of Hanoi graph with k pegs and n disks, denoted H_n^k, is isomorphic to the group of permutations of k elements, S_k, for all k greater than or equal to 3 and positive n.

We study the moduli space of quaternionic Kaehler structures on a compact manifold of dimension 4n (n>2) from a point of view of Riemannian geometry, not twistor theory. Then we obtain a rigidity theorem for quaternionic Kaehler structures…

Let $E$ be an $1$-Ahlfors regular subset of the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. We prove that there exists a $-1$-homogeneous kernel $K_1$ such that if $E$ is contained in a $1$-regular curve the corresponding singular integral is bounded in…

Let $U_q$ denote the quantum group associated with a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra. Assume that $q$ is a complex root of unity of odd order and that $U_q$ is %the quantum group version obtained via Lusztig's $q$-divided powers…

Recently, Cohen and Vandembroucq proved that the reduced topological complexity of the Klein bottle is 4. Simultaneously and independently, we announced a proof of the same result. Mistakes were found in our argument, which was quite…

For a complex projective space the inertia group, the homotopy inertia group and the concordance inertia group are isomorphic. In complex dimension 4n+1, these groups are related to computations in stable cohomotopy. Using stable homotopy…

The weighted Tower of Hanoi is a new generalization of the classical Tower of Hanoi problem, where a move of a disc between two pegs $i$ and $j$ is weighted by a positive real $w_{ij}\geq 0$. This new problem generalizes the concept of…

Let $H_n$ be the $n$-th group homology functor (with integer coeffcients) and let $\{G_i\} _ {i \in \mathbb{N}}$ be any tower of groups such that all maps $G_{i+1} \to G_i$ are surjective. In this work we study kernel and cokernel of the…

We obtain several results about stability of the Bergman kernel on a tower of coverings on complex manifolds. An effective version of Rhodes' result is given for a tower of coverings on a compact Riemann surface of genus greater than or…

We develop a unified algebraic theory of the weighted Tower of Hanoi with arbitrary nonnegative symmetric move costs depending on both disc index and pegs. Starting from a general optimality recurrence with two competing strategies -- one…

The Johnson kernel is the subgroup of the mapping class group of a closed oriented surface that is generated by Dehn twists along separating simple closed curves. The rational abelianization of the Johnson kernel has been computed by Dimca,…

A number of years ago, Kumar Murty pointed out to me that the computation of the fundamental group of a Hilbert modular surface ([7],IV,${\S}$6), and the computation of the congruence subgroup kernel of SL(2) ([6]) were surprisingly…

A strong KT (SKT) manifold consists of a Hermitian structure whose torsion three-form is closed. We classify the invariant SKT structures on four-dimensional solvable Lie groups. The classification includes solutions on groups that do not…

In \cite{Kramer11} Kramer proves for a large class of semisimple Lie groups that they admit just one locally compact $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff topology compatible with the group operations. We present two different methods of generalising…

We show that the (normalized) topological complexity of the Klein bottle is $4$. We also show that, for any $g\geq 2$, $TC(N_g)=4$. This completes the recent work by Dranishnikov on the topological complexity of non-orientable surfaces.
