If $\G$ is a finitely generated group with generators $\{g_1,...,g_j\}$ then an infinite order element $f \in \G$ is a {\em distortion element} of $\G$ provided $\displaystyle{\liminf_{n \to \infty} |f^n|/n = 0,}$ where $|f^n|$ is the word…

Let $\mathcal{M}_{n,d}$ be the moduli space of semi-stable rank $n$, trace-free Higgs bundles with fixed determinant of degree $d$ on a Riemann surface of genus at least $3$. We determine the following automorphism groups of…

We showed in part I (hep-th/9912092) that the Hopf algebra ${\cal H}$ of Feynman graphs in a given QFT is the algebra of coordinates on a complex infinite dimensional Lie group $G$ and that the renormalized theory is obtained from the…

Smale proved that the orientation-preserving diffeomorphism group of S^2 has a continuous strong deformation retraction to SO(3). In this paper, we construct such a strong deformation retraction which is diffeologically smooth.

In this work, we establish the existence of solutions to stochastic differential equations on the Wasserstein space over a closed Riemannian manifold, under suitable regularity assumptions on the driving vector fields. Interpreting the…

We prove that if two closed, connected, regular cosymplectic manifolds have isomorphic groups of cosymplectomorphisms (as topological groups), then the underlying manifolds are diffeomorphic. The proof proceeds by characterizing the Reeb…

Consider a pseudogroup on (C,0) generated by two local diffeomorphisms having analytic conjugacy classes a priori fixed in Diff(C,0). We show that a generic pseudogroup as above is such that every point has (possibly trivial) cyclic…

We initiate the study of the fundamental group of natural completions of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms, namely its $C^0$-closure $\overline{\mathrm{Ham}}(M,\omega)$ and its completion with respect to the spectral norm…

In this paper we characterize the group of affine transformations of a flat affine simply connected manifold whose developing map is a diffeomorphism. This is proved by making use of some simple facts about homeomorphisms of $\mathbb{R}^n$…

The infinitesimal counterpart of a Lie groupoid is its Lie algebroid. As a vector bundle, it is given by the source vertical tangent bundle restricted to the identity bisection. Its sections can be identified with the invariant vector…

Fr\"olicher spaces form a cartesian closed category which contains the category of smooth manifolds as a full subcategory. Therefore, mapping groups such as C^\infty(M,G) or \Diff(M), but also projective limits of Lie groups are in a…

Cosymplectic geometry can be viewed as an odd dimensional counterpart of symplectic geometry. Likely in the symplectic case, a related property which is preservation of closed forms $\omega$ and $\eta$, refers to the theoretical possibility…

We consider two principal bundles of embeddings with total space $Emb(M,N),$ with structure groups $Diff(M)$ and $Diff_+(M),$ where $Diff_+(M)$ is the groups of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms. The aim of this paper is to describe…

We prove that the group of contact diffeomorphisms is closed in the group of all diffeomorphisms in the C^0-topology. By Gromov's alternative, it suffices to exhibit a diffeomorphism that can not be approximated uniformly by contact…

The orthogonal groups are a series of simple Lie groups associated to symmetric bilinear forms. There is no analogous series associated to symmetric trilinear forms. We introduce an infinite dimensional group-like object that can be viewed…

We study the rational homotopy types of classifying spaces of automorphism groups of smooth simply connected manifolds of dimension at least five. We give dg Lie algebra models for the homotopy automorphisms and the block diffeomorphisms of…

If a Lie group acts on a manifold freely and properly, pulling back by the quotient map gives an isomorphism between the differential forms on the quotient manifold and the basic differential forms upstairs. We show that this result remains…

A localisation of the category of n-manifolds is introduced by formally inverting the connected sum construction with a chosen n-manifold Y. On the level of automorphism groups, this leads to the stable diffeomorphism groups of n-manifolds.…

It is shown that, modulo the automorphisms which fix the canonical diagonal MASA point-wise, the group of those automorphisms of the Cuntz algebra O_n which globally preserve both the diagonal and the core UHF-subalgebra is isomorphic, via…

Let $\alpha,\beta$ be orientation-preserving homeomorphisms of $[0,\infty]$ onto itself, which have only two fixed points at $0$ and $\infty$, and whose restrictions to $\mathbb{R}_+=(0,\infty)$ are diffeomorphisms, and let…
