Subgroups of elliptic elements of the Cremona group

The Cremona group is the group of birational transformations of the complex projective plane. In this paper we classify its subgroups that consist only of elliptic elements using elementary model theory. This yields in particular a description of the struc ...

Coherent actions by homeomorphisms on the real line or an interval

Yash Lodha

We study actions of groups by orientation preserving homeomorphisms on R (or an interval) that are minimal, have solvable germs at +/-infinity and contain a pair of elements of a certain dynamical type. We call such actions coherent. We establish that such ...

Approximating nonabelian free groups by groups of homeomorphisms of the real line

Yash Lodha

We show that for a large class C of finitely generated groups of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the real line, the following holds: Given a group G of rank k in C, there is a sequence of k-markings (G,S-n), n is an element of N whose limit in the ...

Large charge, semiclassics and superfluids : from broken symmetries to conformal field theories

Gabriel Francisco Cuomo

This thesis explores the application of semiclassical methods in the study of states with large quantum numbers for theories invariant under internal symmetries. In the first part of the thesis, we study zero-temperature superfluids. These provide a gener ...

Extensive amenability and a Tits alternative for topological full groups

Nóra Gabriella Szoke

This dissertation investigates the amenability of topological full groups using a property of group actions called extensive amenability. Extensive amenability is a core concept of several amenability results for groups of dynamical origin. We study its pr ...

Hasse principles for multinorm equations

Eva Bayer Fluckiger, Ting-Yu Lee

A classical result of Hasse states that the norm principle holds for finite cyclic extensions of global fields, in other words local norms are global norms. We investigate the norm principle for finite dimensional commutative kale algebras over global fiel ...

Characteristic classes as complete obstructions

Martina Rovelli

In the first part of this paper, we propose a uniform interpretation of characteristic classes as obstructions to the reduction of the structure group and to the existence of an equivariant extension of a certain homomorphism defined a priori only on a sin ...

The cup product of Brooks quasimorphisms

Nicolas Monod

We prove the vanishing of the cup product of the bounded cohomology classes associated to any two Brooks quasimorphisms on the free group. This is a consequence of the vanishing of the square of a universal class for tree automorphism groups. ...

An upper bound for the Tarski numbers of nonamenable groups of piecewise projective homeomorphisms

Yash Lodha

The Tarski number of a nonamenable group is the smallest number of pieces needed for a paradoxical decomposition of the group. Nonamenable groups of piecewise projective homeomorphisms were introduced in [N. Monod, Groups of piecewise projective homeomorph ...

Nielsen Equivalence In Gupta-Sidki Groups

Aglaia Myropolska

For a group G generated by k elements, the Nielsen equivalence classes are defined as orbits of the action of AutF(k), the automorphism group of the free group of rank k, on the set of generating k-tuples of G. Let p >= 3 be prime and G(p) the Gupta-Sidki ...
