Classifies periodic diffeomorphisms on surfaces commuting with specific involutions.

We study the structure of the invariant of K3 surfaces with involution, which we obtained using equivariant analytic torsion. It was known before that the invariant is expressed as the Petersson norm of an automorphic form on the moduli space. When the rank of the invariant sublattice of the K3-lattice with respect to …

The reduced norm-one group G of a central simple algebra is an inner form of the special linear group, and an involution on the algebra induces an automorphism of G. We study the action of such automorphisms in the cohomology of arithmetic subgroups of G. The main result is a precise formula for Lefschetz numbers of au…

We prove the automorphic property of the invariant of K3 surfaces with involution, which we obtained using equivariant analytic torsion, in the case where the dimension of the moduli space is less than or equal to 2.

In this paper we treat the intersection of fixed point subgroups by the involutive automorphisms of exceptional Lie group $G= F_4, E_6, E_7$. We shall find involutive automorphisms of $G$ such that the connected component of the intersection of those fixed point subgroups coincides with the maximal torus of $G$.

Study shows periodic points of Prym eigenforms in specific genera.

An involutive diffeomorphism $σ$ of a connected smooth manifold $M$ is called dissecting if the complement of its fixed point set is not connected. Dissecting involutions on a complete Riemannian manifold are closely related to constructive quantum field theory through the work of Dimock and Jaffe/Ritter on the constru…

A singular foliation in the sense of Androulidakis and Skandalis is an involutive and locally finitely generated module of compactly supported vector fields on a manifold. An automorphism of a singular foliation is a diffeomorphism that preserves the module. In this note, we give an alternative proof of the (surprising…

We show that K3 surfaces with non-symplectic automorphisms of prime order can be used to construct new compact irreducible G2-manifolds. This technique was carried out in detail by Kovalev and Lee for non-symplectic involutions. We use Chen-Ruan orbifold cohomology to determine the Hodge diamonds of certain complex thr…

We prove a formula for the conjugation action on the knot Floer complex of the connected sum of two knots. Using the formula we construct a homomorphism from the smooth concordance group to an abelian group consisting of chain complexes with homotopy automorphisms, modulo an equivalence relation. Using our connected su…

We introduce the palindromic automorphism group and the palindromic Torelli group of a right-angled Artin group A_G. The palindromic automorphism group Pi A_G is related to the principal congruence subgroups of GL(n,Z) and to the hyperelliptic mapping class group of an oriented surface, and sits inside the centraliser …

For the simply connected compact exceptional Lie group $E_8$, we determine the structure of subgroup $(E_8)^{σ, σ'}$ of $E_8$ which is the intersection $(E_8)^σ\cap (E_8)^{σ'}$. Then the space $E_8/(E_8)^{σ, σ'}$ is the exceptional $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$- symmetric space of type EVIII-VIII-VIII, and that we…

In an earlier paper we developed the classification of weakly symmetric pseudo--riemannian manifolds $G/H$ where $G$ is a semisimple Lie group and $H$ is a reductive subgroup. We derived the classification from the cases where $G$ is compact. As a consequence we obtained the classification of semisimple weakly symmetri…

Automorphisms of finite order and real forms of "smooth" affine Kac-Moody algebras are studied, i.e. of 2-dimensional extensions of the algebra of smooth loops in a simple Lie algebra. It is shown that they can be parametrized by certain invariants and that in particular the classification of involutions essentially fo…

The twin group $T_n$ is a right angled Coxeter group generated by $n-1$ involutions and the pure twin group $PT_n$ is the kernel of the natural surjection from $T_n$ onto the symmetric group on $n$ symbols. In this paper, we investigate some structural aspects of these groups. We derive a formula for the number of conj…

The braid group $B_{n}$, endowed with Artin's presentation, admits two distinguished involutions. One is the anti-automorphism ${\rm{rev}}: B_{n} \to B_{n}$, $v \mapsto \bar{v}$, defined by reading braids in the reverse order (from right to left instead of left to right). Another one is the conjugation $τ:x \mapsto Δ^{…

A classification is given of the exceptional $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric spaces $G/K$ by A.Kollross, where $G$ is an exceptional compact Lie group or $S\!pin(8)$, and moreover the structure of $K$ is determined as Lie algebra. In the present article, we give a pair of commuting involutive automorphisms…

Let $G/K$ be an orbit of the adjoint representation of a compact connected Lie group $G$, $σ$ be an involutive automorphism of $G$ and $\tilde G$ be the Lie group of fixed points of $σ$. We find a sufficient condition for the complete integrability of the geodesic flow of the Riemannian metric on $\tilde G/(\tilde G\ca…

We study $n$-dimensional Kähler manifolds whose geodesic flows possess $n$ first integrals in involution that are fibrewise hermitian forms and simultaneously normalizable. Under some mild assumption, one can associate with such a manifold an $n$-dimensional commutative Lie algebra of infinitesimal automorphisms. This,…

Let $(G,K)$ be a Riemannian symmetric pair of maximal rank, where $G$ is a compact simply connected Lie group and $K$ the fixed point set of an involutive automorphism $σ$. This induces an involutive automorphism $τ$ of the based loop space $Ω(G)$. There exists a maximal torus $T\subset G$ such that the canonical actio…

In this article, we achieved several non-naturally reductive Einstein metrics on exceptional simple Lie groups, which are formed by the decomposition arising from general Wallach spaces. By using the decomposition corresponding to the two involutive automorphisms, we calculated the non-zero coefficients in the expressi…

For simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups $G = F_4, E_6$ and $E_7$, we consider two involutions $σ, γ$ and determine the group structure of subgroups $G^{σ,γ}$ of $G$ which are the intersection $G^σ\cap G^γ$ of the fixed points subgroups of $G^σ$ and $G^γ$. The motivation is as follows. In [1](see the Referen…

The main result of this paper is that for every closed, connected, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold $M$, there is an integer $n_M$ such that any abstract graph with no automorphism of order 2 which has a 3-connected minor whose genus is more than $n_M$ has no achiral embedding in $M$. By contrast, the paper also pro…

We develop the Lorentzian geometry of a crooked halfspace in 2+1-dimensional Minkowski space. We calculate the affine, conformal and isometric automorphism groups of a crooked halfspace, and discuss its stratification into orbit types, giving an explicit slice for the action of the automorphism group. The set of parall…

We describe simply connected compact exceptional simple Lie groups in very elementary way. We first construct all simply connected compact exceptional Lie groups G concretely. Next, we find all involutive automorphisms of G, and determine the group structures of the fixed points subgroup. They correspond to the classif…

We study two sorts of actions on the space of conjugacy classes of irreducible $SU_2$-representations of a knot group. One of them is an involution which comes from the algebraic structure of $SU_2$ and the other is the action by the outer automorphism group of the knot group. In particular, we consider them on an 1-di…

A Banach symmetric space in the sense of O. Loos is a smooth Banach manifold $M$ endowed with a multiplication map $μ\colon M \times M \to M$ such that each left multiplication map $μ_x := μ(x,\cdot)$ (with $x \in M$) is an involutive automorphism of $(M,μ)$ with the isolated fixed point $x$. We show that morphisms of …

We prove that all immersions of a genus one surface into G/T possessing a Toda frame can be constructed by integrating a pair of commuting vector fields on a finite dimensional Lie algebra. Here G is any simple real Lie group (not necessarily compact), T is a Cartan subgroup and the k-symmetric space structure on G/T i…
