A 2-manifold's group structure is deduced from orbit configuration spaces.

We prove similar theorems concerning the structure of bundles involving complements of fiber-type hyperplane arrangements and orbit configuration spaces. These results facilitate analysis of the fundamental groups of these spaces, which may be viewed as generalizations of the Artin pure braid group. In particular, we r…

The paper studies fundamental groups of orbit configuration spaces and proves their torsion-freeness.

We solve integrable systems to describe the motion of Kaleidocycles.

This is a sequel to the paper [Cas]. Here, we extend the methods of Farb-Wolfson using the theory of FI_G-modules to obtain stability of equivariant Galois representations of the etale cohomology of orbit configuration spaces. We establish subexponential bounds on the growth of unstable cohomology, and then use the Gro…

Following a recent paper by Baryshnikov and Zharnitskii, we consider outer billiards in the plane possessing invariant curves consisting of periodic orbits. We prove the existence and abundance of such tables using tools from sub-Riemannian geometry. We also prove that the set of 3-periodic outer billiard orbits has ze…

Geodesics spiral around Reeb orbits in 3D contact manifolds.

Study of multi-moment maps on specific six-manifolds.

A n n-body system is a labelled collection of n point masses in Euclidean space, and their congruence and internal symmetry properties involve a rich mathematical structure which is investigated in the framework of equivariant Riemannian geometry. Some basic concepts are n-configuration, configuration space, internal s…

The harmonic oscillator as a distinguished dynamical system can be defined not only on the Euclidean plane but also on the sphere and on the hyperbolic plane, and more generally on any configuration space with constant curvature and with a metric of any signature, either Riemannian (definite positive) or Lorentzian (in…

This paper upbuilds the theoretical framework of orbit braids in $M\times I$ by making use of the orbit configuration space $F_G(M,n)$, which enriches the theory of ordinary braids, where $M$ is a connected topological manifold of dimension at least 2 with an effective action of a finite group $G$ and the action of $G$…

The category $\mathrm{FI}_G$ was first defined and explored by Sam-Snowden. Here, we develop more of the machinery of $\mathrm{FI}_G$-modules and find numerous examples to apply it to, extending the work of Church-Ellenberg-Farb and Wilson. In particular we develop a notion of character polynomials for $\mathrm{FI}_G$-…

We examine the $L^2$-topology of the gauge orbits over a closed Riemann surface. We prove a subtle local slice theorem based on the div-curl Lemma of harmonic analysis, and deduce local pathwise connectedness and local uniform quasiconvexity of the gauge orbits. Using these, we generalize compactness results for anti-s…

Let $f$ be a real- or circle-valued Morse function on a compact surface M having exactly $n>0$ critical points. Denote by $O$ the orbit of $f$ with respect to the right action of the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$. We show that the connected components of $O$ have the homotopy type of a finite-dimensional CW-complex. …

Study of separatrix configurations in holomorphic flows with real time.

Classical and quantum Hamiltonian reductions of free geodesic systems of complete Riemannian manifolds are investigated. The reduced systems are described under the assumption that the underlying compact symmetry group acts in a polar manner in the sense that there exist regularly embedded, closed, connected submanifol…

Under certain conditions, we describe the homotopy type of the homo-topy fibre of the inclusion map F\_n(X) $\rightarrow$ $\prod$\_1^n X for the n-th configuration space F\_n(X) of a topological manifold X without boundary such that dim(X) $\ge$ 3. We then apply our results to the cases where either the universal cover…

Six quaternionic lines with optimal angles found in 2D quaternion space.

The paper defines and analyzes homotopic rotation sets for surfaces of higher genus.

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…

This work connects point particles to spin chains using geometric methods.

We prove analogues for Cartan geometries of Gromov's major theorems on automorphisms of rigid geometric structures. The starting point is a Frobenius theorem, which says that infinitesimal automorphisms of sufficiently high order integrate to local automorphisms. Consequences include a stratification theorem describing…

Smooth approximations for continuous functions on orbit spaces.

Computes fundamental groups of restricted configuration spaces.

The classification of G-spaces by Palais is refined for the case where the orbit space satisfies certain mild topological hypotheses. It is shown that when a sequence of such orbit spaces is "close" to a limit orbit space, in some suitable sense, within a larger ambient orbit space, the G-spaces in the tail of the sequ…

Study orbit spaces of equivariant ANEs for proper actions of metrizable groups.

New Frobenius manifold structures found on Dicyclic group orbits.

We introduce an alternative approach to the third order helicity of a volume preserving vector field $B$, which leads us to a lower bound for the $L^2$-energy of $B$. The proposed approach exploits correspondence between the Milnor $\barμ_{123}$-invariant for 3-component links and the homotopy invariants of maps to con…

Geodesic orbit metrics proven on specific homogeneous spaces.

Let $n\geq 1$, and let $ι\_{n}\colon\thinspace F\_{n}(M) \longrightarrow \prod\_{1}^{n} M$ be the natural inclusion of the $n$th configuration space of $M$ in the $n$-fold Cartesian product of $M$ with itself. In this paper, we study the map $ι\_{n}$, its homotopy fibre $I\_{n}$, and the induced homomorphisms $(ι\_{n})…

We study isometric cohomogeneity one actions on the (n+1)-dimensional Minkowski space up to orbit-equivalence. We give examples of isometric cohomogeneity one actions on the Minkowski space whose orbit spaces are non-Hausdorff. We show that there exist isometric cohomogeneity one actions on the Minkowski space which ar…

New measures on orbit spaces for orthogonal groups identified.

Criterion for periodic orbits convergence proved.

The paper is devoted to the study of geodesic orbit Riemannian spaces that could be characterize by the property that any geodesic is an orbit of a 1-parameter group of isometries. In particular, we discuss some important totally geodesic submanifolds that inherit the property to be geodesic orbit. For a given geodesic…

The abstract discusses extensions of Jacobi groups and their orbit space properties.

We list up all the possible local orbit types of hyperbolic or elliptic orbits for the isotropy representations of semisimple pseudo-Riemannian symmetric spaces. It is key to give a recipe to determine the local orbit types of hyperbolic principal orbits by using three kind of restricted root systems and Satake diagram…

The paper proves the existence of surfaces of section for geodesic flows on closed surfaces.

We study the configuration space of equilateral and equiangular spatial hexagons for any bond angle by giving explicit expressions of all the possible shapes. We show that the chair configuration is isolated, whereas the boat configuration allows one-dimensional deformations which form a circle in the configuration spa…

In this paper we prove that an isometry between orbit spaces of two proper isometric actions is smooth if it preserves the codimension of the orbits or if the orbit spaces have no boundary. In other words, we generalize Myers-Steenrod's theorem for orbit spaces. These results are proved in the more general context of s…
