A special linear Lie group over the real number field and the quarternion field admits a projectivley flat affine connection. We show that parabolic subgroups are autoparallel submanifolds and give a criterion the induced connection is projectively equivalent to a flat affine connection.

Let N be a simply connected, connected real nilpotent Lie group of finite dimension n. We study subgroups $Γ$ in $\Aff (N)=N\rtimes \Aut (N)$ acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on N. This situation is a natural generalization of the so-called affine crystallographic groups. We prove that for all dimensions…

For a Coxeter group $W$ we have an associating bi-linear form $B$ on a real vector space. We assume that $B$ has the signature $(n-1,1)$. In this case we have the Cannon-Thurston map for $W$, that is, a $W$-equivariant continuous surjection from the Gromov boundary of $W$ to the limit set of $W$. We focus on the case w…

We study properly discontinuous and cocompact actions of a discrete subgroup $Γ$ of an algebraic group $G$ on a contractible algebraic manifold $X$. We suppose that this action comes from an algebraic action of $G$ on $X$ such that a maximal reductive subgroup of $G$ fixes a point. When the real rank of any simple subg…

Uniform proof of property R_infinity for specific Artin-Tits groups.

Let S be a smooth affine algebraic curve, and let S' be the Riemann surface obtained by removing a point from S. We provide evidence for the congruence subgroup property of the mapping class group Mod(S') by showing that its congruence kernel lies in the centralizer of every braid in Mod(S'). As a corollary, we obtain …

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for an affine deformation of a Schottky subgroup of O(2,1) to act properly on affine space. There exists a real-valued biaffine map between the cohomology of the Schottky group and the space of geodesic currents on the corresponding hyperbolic surface S. For a fixed cohomolog…

Geodesically complete affine manifolds are quotients of the Euclidean space through a properly discontinuous action of a subgroup of affine Euclidean transformations. An equivalent definition is that the tangent bundle of such a manifold admits a flat, symmetric and complete connection. If the completeness assumption i…

We give a new proof that compact infra-solvmanifolds with isomorphic fundamental groups are smoothly diffeomorphic. More generally, we prove rigidity results for manifolds which are constructed using affine actions of virtually polycyclic groups on solvable Lie groups. Our results are derived from rigidity properties o…

The paper studies Anosov holonomy groups in complete affine manifolds.

An affine hypersurface is said to admit a pointwise symmetry, if there exists a subgroup of the automorphism group of the tangent space, which preserves (pointwise) the affine metric h, the difference tensor K and the affine shape operator S. In this paper, we deal with positive definite affine hypersurfaces of dimensi…

The most general construction of double affine Artin groups (DAAG) and Hecke algebras (DAHA) associates such objects to pairs of compatible reductive group data. We show that DAAG/DAHA always admit a faithful action by automorphisms of a finite index subgroup of the Artin group of type $A_{2}$, which descends to a fait…

Here, we consider 3-dimensional indefinite affine hyperspheres, i.e. $S…

The study proposes a conjecture about the monodromy group of singular hyperbolic metrics and provides evidence and confirmations.

We study the possibility of applying a finite-dimensionality argument in order to address parts of the Baum-Connes conjecture for finitely generated linear groups. This gives an alternative approach to the results of Guentner, Higson, and Weinberger concerning the Baum-Connes conjecture for linear groups. For any finit…

In this paper, we prove that a normal subgroup N of an n-dimensional crystallographic group G determines a geometric fibered orbifold structure on the flat orbifold E^n/G, and conversely every geometric fibered orbifold structure on E^n/G is determined by a normal subgroup N of G, which is maximal in its commensurabili…

An affine hypersurface M is said to admit a pointwise symmetry, if there exists a subgroup G of Aut(T_p M) for all p in M, which preserves (pointwise) the affine metric h, the difference tensor K and the affine shape operator S. Here, we consider 3-dimensional indefinite affine hyperspheres, i.e. S= H Id (and thus S is…

In [13], it is proved that any subgroup of $\mathrm{Diff}_{+}^{ω}(I)$ (the group of orientation preserving analytic diffeomorphisms of the interval) is either metaabelian or does not satisfy a law. A stronger question is asked whether or not the Girth Alternative holds for subgroups of $\mathrm{Diff}_{+}^{ω}(I)$. In th…

The classical McKay correspondence establishes an explicit link from the representation theory of a finite subgroup G of SU(2) and the geometry of the minimal resolution of the quotient of the affine plane by G. In this paper we discuss a possible generalization of the McKay correspondence to the case when G is replace…
