Study non-existence of complex ball quotients in Torelli locus.

We study an integration theory in circle equivariant cohomology in order to prove a theorem relating the cohomology ring of a hyperkahler quotient to the cohomology ring of the quotient by a maximal abelian subgroup, analogous to a theorem of Martin for symplectic quotients. We discuss applications of this theorem to q…

The paper studies orbifold splice quotients and log covers of surface pairs.

We construct some non-arithmetic ball quotients as branched covers of a quotient of an Abelian surface by a finite group, and compare them with lattices that previously appear in the literature. This gives an alternative construction, which is independent of the computer, of some lattices constructed by the author with…

Classifies complex symplectic structures on Lie algebras with large abelian ideals.

Construct special Lagrangian fibrations on abelian varieties using retraction techniques.

We construct an abelian quotient of the symplectic derivation Lie algebra $\mathfrak{h}_{g,1}$ of the free Lie algebra generated by the fundamental representation of $\mathrm{Sp}(2g,\mathbb{Q})$. More specifically, we show that the weight $12$ part of the abelianization of $\mathfrak{h}_{g,1}$ is $1$-dimensional for $g…

This work shows non-abelian quotient groups in string link concordance.

A homology cylinder over a compact manifold is a homology cobordism between two copies of the manifold together with a boundary parametrization. We study abelian quotients of the homology cobordism group of homology cylinders. For homology cylinders over general surfaces, it was shown by Cha, Friedl and Kim that their …

Algorithm distinguishes Fuchsian groups with finite quotients.

It is shown that every abelian regular Lie group is a quotient of its Lie algebra via the exponential mapping.

It has long been known that every quasi-homogeneous normal complex surface singularity with Q-homology sphere link has universal abelian cover a Brieskorn complete intersection singularity. We describe a broad generalization: First, one has a class of complete intersection normal complex surface singularities called "s…

A homology cylinder over a surface consists of a homology cobordism between two copies of the surface and markings of its boundary. The set of isomorphism classes of homology cylinders over a fixed surface has a natural monoid structure and it is known that this monoid can be seen as an enlargement of the mapping class…

Complex projective manifolds without rational curves are quotients of Abelian varieties.

Study locally conformally balanced metrics on specific Lie algebras.

Holomorphic curves found in compact quotients of SL(2,C).

Let K be a compact Lie group. We compute the abelianization of the Lie algebra of equivariant vector fields on a smooth K-manifold X. We also compute the abelianization of the Lie algebra of strata preserving smooth vector fields on the quotient X/K.

Quantum Kirwan maps between K-theories of G-varieties and GIT quotients.

Criterion for projectivisation on klt spaces, characterizing quotients and stability.

The (torsion) complexity of a finite edge-weighted graph is defined to be the order of the torsion subgroup of the abelian group presented by its Laplacian matrix. When G is d-periodic (i.e., G has a free action of the rank-d free abelian group by graph automorphisms, with finite quotient) the Mahler measure of its Lap…

We study Deraux's non arithmetic orbifold ball quotient surfaces obtained as birational transformations of a quotient $X$ of a particular Abelian surface $A$. Using the fact that $A$ is the Jacobian of the Bolza genus $2$ curve, we identify $X$ as the weighted projective plane $\mathbb{P}(1,3,8)$. We compute the equati…

We study the hypersymplectic spaces obtained as quotients of flat hypersymplectic space R^{4d} by the action of a compact Abelian group. These 4n-dimensional quotients carry a multi-Hamilitonian action of an n-torus. The image of the hypersymplectic moment map for this torus action may be described by a configuration o…

The note confirms a conjecture for specific Lie groups.

In this paper we extend the results of Kirwan et alii on convexity properties of the moment map for Hamiltonian group actions, and on the connectedness of the fibers of the moment map, to the case of non-compact orbifolds. Our motivation is twofold. First, the category of orbifolds is important in symplectic geometry b…

New homomorphisms from homology cylinders to torsion modules via LMO functor.

Locally conformal SKT structures are introduced and studied on Lie groups and their compact quotients.

The paper classifies invariant structures on complex almost Abelian groups.

Algebraic dimension is zero for generic complex structures on hypercomplex nilmanifolds.

We construct lattices on six dimensional not completely solvable almost abelian Lie groups, for which the Mostow condition does not hold. For the corresponding compact quotients, we compute the de Rham cohomology (which does not agree in general with the Lie algebra one) and a minimal model. We show that some of these …

Study on curves on specific arithmetic quotients of hyperbolic 2-ball.

Let G be a complex reductive algebraic group (not necessarily connected), let K be a maximal compact subgroup, and let A be a finitely generated Abelian group. We prove that the conjugation orbit space Hom(A,K)/K is a strong deformation retract of the GIT quotient space Hom(A,G)//G. As a corollary, we determine necessa…

We establish a criterion for when an abelian extension of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras integrates to a corresponding Lie group extension $\hat{G}$ of $G$ by $A$, where $G$ is a connected, simply connected Lie group and $A$ is a quotient of its Lie algebra by some discrete subgroup. When $G$ is non-simply connected…

Let $M$ be a symplectic manifold, equipped with a Hamiltonian action of a torus $T$. We give an explicit formula for the rational cohomology ring of the symplectic quotient $M//T$ in terms of the cohomology ring of $M$ and fixed point data. Under some restrictions, our formulas apply to integral cohomology. In certain …

The set SL(n) of n-string links has a monoid structure, given by the stacking product. When considered up to concordance, SL(n) becomes a group, which is known to be abelian only if n=1. In this paper, we consider two families of equivalence relations which endow SL(n) with a group structure, namely the C_k-equivalence…

Study of trigonal curves in abelian differentials with specific divisor properties.

We present a new criterion for the complex hyperbolicity of a non-compact quotient X of a bounded symmetric domain. For each p $\ge$ 1, this criterion gives a precise condition under which the subvarieties V $\subset$ X with dim V $\ge$ p are of general type, and X is p-measure hyperbolic. Then, we give several applica…

The paper explores $p$-Kähler structures on Lie group quotients.

In this paper we apply the hyper-Kähler quotient construction to Lie groups with a left invariant hyper-Kähler structure under the action of a closed abelian subgroup by left multiplication. This is motivated by the fact that some known hyper-Kähler metrics can be recovered in this way by considering different Lie grou…

Unified algebraic framework for virtual braid structures with strong structural consequences.

We study the word length entropy of automorphisms of residually nilpotent groups, and how the entropy of such group automorphisms relates to the entropy of induced automorphisms on various nilpotent quotients. We show that much like the structure of a nilpotent group is dictated to a large degree by its abelianization,…

Study Weyl-Einstein structures on conformal solvmanifolds, proving Einstein property and classifying metrics.

The study characterizes subgroups of braid groups and their finite quotients.

For an arrangement with complement X and fundamental group G, we relate the truncated cohomology ring, H^{<=2}(X), to the second nilpotent quotient, G/G_3. We define invariants of G/G_3 by counting normal subgroups of a fixed prime index p, according to their abelianization. We show how to compute this distribution fro…
