HNN-extension of the orbifold fundamental group
Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of $\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})$. I know that $\mathbb{H}^2/\Gamma$ has an orbifold structure. Let $\gamma$ be a non-separating closed curve. If $\Gamma$ has ...

Metropolis-Hastings sampling as a group action
Suppose that you have a topological space $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$ accompanied a measure $\mu$ and you're running an iterative sampling algorithm like Metropolis-Hastings. To sample you choose a ...

Quotient of Euclidean space with maximal volume growth
Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of the isometry group of $\mathbb R^n$ and $O=\mathbb R^n/\Gamma$ is the orbifold.
If there exists a point $p \in O$ such that
$$

If two group actions lead to the same orbifold, are they conjugate?
In The Geometry and Topology of Three-Manifolds, Thurston says: "In these examples, it was not hard to construct the quotient space from the group action. In order to go in the opposite direction, we ...

Orbit spaces of crystallographic groups
In their paper "On Three-Dimensional Space Groups", Conway et al. write
Although this paper was inspired by the orbifold concept, we did not need to consider the 219 orbifolds of space groups ...
