The main goal of this paper is a calculation of the integral (co)homology of the group of symmetric automorphisms of a free product. We proceed by giving a geometric interpretation of symmetric automorphisms via a moduli space of certain diagrams, which we name cactus products. To describe this moduli space a theory of…

Cactus improves auto-regressive decoding speed without sacrificing quality.

The BNSR-invariants of a group $G$ are a sequence $Σ^1(G)\supseteq Σ^2(G) \supseteq \cdots$ of geometric invariants that reveal important information about finiteness properties of certain subgroups of $G$. We consider the symmetric automorphism group $ΣAut_n$ and pure symmetric automorphism group $PΣAut_n$ of the free…

This paper deals essentially with affine or projective transformations of Lie groups endowed with a flat left invariant affine or projective structure. These groups are called flat affine or flat projective Lie groups. Our main results determine Lie groups admitting flat bi-invariant affine or projective structures. Th…

Calculates affine transformations for specific homogeneous spaces.

In this paper we exhibit a family of flat left invariant affine structures on the double Lie group of the oscillator Lie group of dimension 4, associated to each solution of classical Yang-Baxter equation given by Boucetta and Medina. On the other hand, using Koszul's method, we prove the existence of an immersion of L…

We give a new characterization of flat affine manifolds in terms of an action of the Lie algebra of classical infinitesimal affine transformations on the bundle of linear frames.

We develop the foundations of the deformation theory of compact complete affine space forms and affine crystallographic groups. Using methods from the theory of linear algebraic groups we show that these deformation spaces inherit an algebraic structure from the space of crystallographic homomorphisms. We also study th…

We give a new characterization of flat affine connections on real manifolds by means of certain affine representations of the Lie group of automorphisms preserving the connection. Then we specialize the characterization to the case of a left invariant connecti…

We give a characterization of flat affine connections on manifolds by means of a natural affine representation of the universal covering of the Lie group of diffeomorphisms preserving the connection.

To any connected and simply connected nilpotent Lie group N, one can associate its group of affine transformations Aff(N). In this paper, we study simply transitive actions of a given nilpotent Lie group G on another nilpotent Lie group N, via such affine transformations. We succeed in translating the existence questio…

The paper calculates curvature limits and Gauss-Bonnet theorems in the Heisenberg group.

We prove the $K(π,1)$ conjecture for affine Artin groups: the complexified complement of an affine reflection arrangement is a classifying space. This is a long-standing problem, due to Arnol'd, Pham, and Thom. Our proof is based on recent advancements in the theory of dual Coxeter and Artin groups, as well as on sever…

For any right-angled Coxeter group $Γ$ on $k$ generators, we construct proper actions of $Γ$ on $\mathrm{O}(p,q+1)$ by right and left multiplication, and on the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{o}(p,q+1)$ by affine transformations, for some $p,q\in\mathbb N$ with $p+q+1=k$. As a consequence, any virtually special group admits pr…

We define the notion of affine Anosov representations of word hyperbolic groups into the affine group $\mathsf{SO}^0(n+1,n)\ltimes\mathbb{R}^{2n+1}$. We then show that a representation $ρ$ of a word hyperbolic group is affine Anosov if and only if its linear part $\mathtt{L}_ρ$ is Anosov in $\mathsf{SO}^0(n+1,n)$ with …

In his 1990 doctoral thesis, Todd Drumm showed that proper affine deformations of free Fuchsian groups could be constructed as Schottky groups using a new family of hypersurfaces called "crooked planes." The existence of proper affine deformations of Fuchsian Schottky groups was demonstrated by Margulis in the early 19…

Let $Λ_0$ be an ordered abelian group. We show how an $\mathrm{ATF}(\mathbb{Z}\timesΛ_0)$ group -- that is, a group admitting a free affine action without inversions on a $\mathbb{Z}\timesΛ_0$-tree -- admits a natural graph of groups decomposition, where vertex groups inherit actions on $Λ_0$-trees. Using recent work o…

The goal of this paper is to provide a method, based on the theory of extensions of left-symmetric algebras, for classifying left-invariant affine structures on a given solvable Lie group of low dimension.
