The existence of a model structure on the category $\mathcal{D}$ of diffeological spaces is crucial to developing smooth homotopy theory. We construct a compactly generated model structure on the category $\mathcal{D}$ whose weak…

We determine all the normal subgroups of the group of C^r diffeomorphisms of R^n, r = 1,2,...,infinity, except when r=n+1 or n=4, and also of the group of homeomorphisms of R^n (r=0). We also study the group A_0 of diffeomorphisms of an…

A new differentiable sphere theorem is obtained from the view of submanifold geometry. An important scalar is defined by the scalar curvature and the mean curvature of an oriented complete submanifold $M^n$ in a space form $F^{n+p}(c)$ with…

Given a compact manifold M, we prove that any bracket generating and invariant under multiplication on smooth functions family of vector fields on M generates the connected component of unit of the group Diff(M).

We give a short, mostly elementary and self-contained proof of the classical result that the groups of diffeomorphisms, homeomorphisms, and homotopy equivalences of a surface have the same group of connected components.

We construct a smooth Lie group structure on the group of real analytic diffeomorphisms of a compact analytic manifold with corners. This generalises the known analogous results in the situation where the real analytic manifold has no…

The celebrated Morlet-Burghelea-Lashof-Kirby-Siebenmann smoothing theory theorem states that the group $\mathrm{Diff}_\partial(D^n)$ of diffeomorphisms of a disc $D^n$ relative to the boundary is equivalent to…

We show that there is an infinite group of special automorphisms of the deformed group of diffeomorphisms, which describes parallel transports in Riemannian spaces of any variable curvature. Generators of translations of such group contain…

We give infinite series of groups Gamma and of compact complex surfaces of general type S with fundamental group Gamma such that 1) Any surface S' with the same Euler number as S, and fundamental group Gamma, is diffeomorphic to S. 2) The…

We study Lie group structures on groups of the form C^\infty(M,K)}, where M is a non-compact smooth manifold and K is a, possibly infinite-dimensional, Lie group. First we prove that there is at most one Lie group structure with Lie algebra…

We formulate and study the notion of $d$-skeletal diffeology, which generalizes that of wire diffeology, introducing the dual notion of $d$-coskeletal diffeology. We first show that paracompact finite-dimensional $C^\infty$-manifolds $M_d$…

We present a simple approach to questions of topological orbit equivalence for actions of countable groups on topological and smooth manifolds. For example, for any action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a topological manifold where the…

We define a cocycle on the group of symplectic diffeomorphisms of a symplectic manifold and investigate its properties. The main applications are concerned with symplectic actions of discrete groups. For example, we give an alternative…

Motivated by recent results on diffeomorphisms of 4-manifolds, this paper investigates fundamental groups of spaces of embeddings of $S^1\times D^3$ in 4-manifolds. The majority of work goes into the case of framed immersed circles.

An isometric action of a Lie group on a Riemannian manifold is of cohomogeneity one if the corresponding orbit space is one-dimensional. In this article we develop a conceptual approach to the classification of cohomogeneity one actions on…

In this paper we discuss the relationship between groups of diffeomorphisms of spheres and balls. We survey results of a topological nature and then address the relationship as abstract (discrete) groups. We prove that the identity…

Diffeomorphism groups $G$ of manifolds $M$ on locally $\bf F$-convex spaces over non-Archimedean fields $\bf F$ are investigated. It is shown that their structure has many differences with the diffeomorphism groups of real and complex…

We prove an index theorem concerning the pushforward of flat B-vector bundles, where B is an appropriate algebra. We construct the associated analytic torsion form T. If Z is a smooth closed aspherical manifold, we show that T gives…

We prove that, given any smooth action of a compact quantum group (in the sense of \cite{rigidity}) on a compact smooth manifold satisfying some more natural conditions, one can get a Riemannian structure on the manifold for which the…

We consider classes of diffeomorphisms of Euclidean space with partial asymptotic expansions at infinity; the remainder term lies in a weighted Sobolev space whose properties at infinity fit with the desired application. We show that two…
