The paper extends end concepts to arbitrary groups and spaces.

The geography of minimal symplectic 4-manifolds with arbitrary fundamental group and symplectic 6-manifolds with abelian fundamental group of small rank, and with arbitrary fundamental group are addressed.

New method constructs equivariant neural networks for arbitrary matrix groups.

We construct the first explicit finite presentations for a family of Kähler groups with arbitrary finiteness properties, answering a question of Suciu.

We prove that the minimal nontrivial finite quotient group of the mapping class group M_g of a closed orientable surface of genus g is the symplectic group PSp(2g,Z_2), for g = 3 and 4 (this might remain true, however, for arbitrary genus g > 2). We discuss also some results for arbitrary genus g.

We extend the notion of Novikov-Shubin invariant for free G-CW-complexes of finite type to spaces with arbitrary G-actions and prove some statements about their positivity. In particular we apply this to classifying spaces of discrete groups.

We compute the fundamental groups of the complements of the family of real conic-line arrangements with up to two conics which are tangent to each other at two points, with an arbitrary number of tangent lines to both conics. All the resulting groups turn out to be big.

This paper studies rectifiability in Carnot groups and proves geometric area formulas.

We show that trees of manifolds, the topological spaces introduced by Jakobsche, appear as boundaries at infinity of various spaces and groups. In particular, they appear as Gromov boundaries of some hyperbolic groups, of arbitrary dimension, obtained by the procedure of strict hyperbolization. We also recognize these …

Let G be a finite group and let M be a G-manifold. We introduce the concept of generalized orbifold invariants of M/G associated to an arbitrary group Gamma, an arbitrary Gamma-set, and an arbitrary covering space of a connected manifold Sigma whose fundamental group is Gamma. Our orbifold invariants have a natural and…

Following an idea of Gonçalvez, Guaschi and Ocampo on the usual braid group we construct crystallographic and Bieberbach groups as (sub)quotients of the generalized braid group associated to an arbitrary complex reflection group.

It is known that the order of a finite group of diffeomorphisms of a 3-dimensional handlebody of genus g > 1 is bounded by the linear polynomial 12(g-1), and that the order of a finite group of diffeomorphisms of a 4-dimensional handlebody (or equivalently, of its boundary 3-manifold), faithful on the fundamental group…

Constructs moduli spaces for monopoles with arbitrary symmetry breaking.

We prove that if the fundamental group of an arbitrary three-manifold -- not necessarily closed, nor orientable -- is a Kaehler group, then it is either finite or the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface.

A graph product kernel means the kernel of the natural surjection from a graph product to the corresponding direct product. We prove that a graph product kernel of countable groups is special, and a graph product of finite or cyclic groups is virtually cocompact special in the sense of Haglund and Wise. The proof of th…

We show that Cannon-Thurston maps exist for degenerate free groups without parabolics, i.e. for handlebody groups. Combining these techniques with earlier work proving the existence of Cannon-Thurston maps for surface groups, we show that Cannon-Thurston maps exist for arbitrary finitely generated Kleinian groups witho…

We establish an area-type formula for the intrinsic spherical Hausdorff measure of every regular curve embedded in an arbitrary graded group.

Let $G$ be a non-trivial torsion free group and $t$ be an unknown. In this paper we consider three equations (over $G$) of arbitrary length and show that they have a solution (over $G$) provided two relations among their coefficients hold. Such equations appear for all lengths greater than or equal to eight and the res…

We define for arbitrary modules over a finite von Neumann algebra $\cala$ a dimension taking values in $[0,\infty]$ which extends the classical notion of von Neumann dimension for finitely generated projective $\cala$-modules and inherits all its useful properties such as additivity, cofinality and continuity. This all…

We construct a finitely presented group $G$ with non-quadratic Dehn function $f$ majorizable by a quadratic function on arbitrary long intervals.

Using standard results from higher (secondary) index theory, we prove that the positive scalar curvature bordism groups of a cartesian product GxZ are infinite in dimension 4n if n>0 G a group with non-trivial torsion. We construct representatives of each of these classes which are connected and with fundamental group …

Study on homeomorphism groups of manifolds using set theory.

We prove for the automorphism group of an arbitrary parabolic geometry that the $C^0$ and $C^{\infty}$ topologies coincide, and the group admits the structure of a Lie group in this topology. We further show that this automorphism group is closed in the homeomorphism group of the underlying manifold.

We construct 2-dimensional CAT(-1) groups which contain free subgroups with arbitrary iterated exponential distortion, and with distortion higher than any iterated exponential.

LieTransformer extends self-attention to Lie groups for improved deep learning tasks.

We compute the fundamental group of various spaces of Desargues configurations in complex projective spaces: planar and non-planar configurations, with a fixed center and also with an arbitrary center.

The study explores how the mapping class group acts on the homology of surface covers.

Invariants measure letter interleaving in groups, detecting group dimensions.

Generalizes Fenchel conjugation to nonlinear functions on arbitrary sets.

Let W be a 2-dimensional right-angled Coxeter group. We characterise such W with linear and quadratic divergence, and construct right-angled Coxeter groups with divergence polynomial of arbitrary degree. Our proofs use the structure of walls in the Davis complex.

The article constructs Fuchsian Schottky groups with conformal boundaries.

This paper generalizes neural transport learning for free energy estimation in arbitrary state spaces.

We embed arbitrary groups into regular graphs with prescribed automorphisms.

This paper provides some partial regularity results for geodesics (i.e., isometric images of intervals) in arbitrary sub-Riemannian and sub-Finsler manifolds. Our strategy is to study infinitesimal and asymptotic properties of geodesics in Carnot groups equipped with arbitrary sub-Finsler metrics. We show that tangents…

Study of Hermitian and Gauduchon connections on Lie groups with almost Hermitian structures.

We completely describe the finitely generated pro-$p$ subgroups of the profinite completion of the fundamental group of an arbitrary $3$-manifold. We also prove a pro-$p$ analogue of the main theorem of Bass--Serre theory for finitely generated pro-$p$ groups.

We prove twisted homological stability with polynomial coefficients for automorphism groups of free nilpotent groups of any given class. These groups interpolate between two extremes for which homological stability was known before, the general linear groups over the integers and the automorphism groups of free groups.…

Despite many years of research into latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), applying LDA to collections of non-categorical items is still challenging. Yet many problems with much richer data share a similar structure and could benefit from the vast literature on LDA. We propose logistic LDA, a novel discriminative variant o…

Characterizes hypergenerated stratified groups with flat boundaries.

From any 4-dimensional oriented handlebody X without 3- and 4-handles and with b_2>0, we construct arbitrary many compact Stein 4-manifolds which are mutually homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to each other, so that their topological invariants (their fundamental groups, homology groups, boundary homology groups, and …

We give a technical result that implies a straightforward necessary and sufficient conditions for a graph of groups with virtually cyclic edge groups to be one ended. For arbitrary graphs of groups, we show that if their fundamental group is not one-ended, then we can blow up vertex groups to graphs of groups with simp…

Given any real-analytic CR manifold M, we provide general conditions on M guaranteeing that the group of all its global real-analytic CR automorphisms is a Lie group (in an appropriate topology). Our conditions are in particular satisfied when M is an arbitrary compact real-analytic hypersurface embedded in some Stein …

We study left-invariant Killing forms of arbitrary degree on simply connected $2-$step nilpotent Lie groups endowed with left-invariant Riemannian metrics, and classify them when the center of the group is at most two-dimensional.

In this paper we give an explicit construction of a symplectic Lefschetz fibration whose total space is a smooth compact four dimensional manifold with a prescribed fundamental group. We also study the numerical properties of the sections in symplectic Lefschetz fibrations and their relation to the structure of the mon…

We present an axiomatic approach to finite- and infinite-dimensional differential calculus over arbitrary infinite fields (and, more generally, suitable rings). The corresponding basic theory of manifolds and Lie groups is developed. Special attention is paid to the case of mappings between topological vector spaces ov…

The paper is devoted to vector fields on the spaces R^2 and R^3, their flow and invariants. Attention is plaid on the tensor representations of the group GL(2,R) and on fundamental vector fields. The rotation group on R^3 is generalized to rotation groups with arbitrary quadrics as orbits.

In this paper we generalize a result in [1], showing that an arbitrary Riemannian symmetric space can be realized as a closed submanifold of a covering group of the Lie group defining the symmetric space. Some properties of the subgroups of fixed points of involutions are also proved.
