Matrix group actions on product of spheres and Zimmer's program
Let SL(n,Z) be the special linear group over integers and $M =S^r_1 \times S^r_2,T^r_1 \times S^r_2$ , or $T^r_0 \times S^r_1 \times S^r_2$, products of spheres and tori. We prove that any group action of SL(n,Z) on $M^r$ by diffeomorphims or piecewise linear homeomorphisms is trivial if $r<n-1$. This confirms a conjecture on Zimmer's program for these manifolds.

Symmetries of flat manifolds, Jordan property and the general Zimmer program
We obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for a finite group to act effectively on a closed flat manifold. Let \ $G=E_{n}(R)$, $EU_{n}(R,Λ),$ $\mathrm{SAut}(F_{n})$ or $\mathrm{SOut}(F_{n}).$ As applications, we prove that when $n\geq 3$ every group action of $G$ on a closed flat manifold $M^{k}$ ($k<n$) by homeomorphisms is trivial. This confirms a conjecture related to Zimmer's program for flat manifolds. Moreover, it is also proved that the group of homeomorphisms of closed flat manifolds are Jordan with Jordan constants depending only on dimensions.

Piecewise linear actions and Zimmer's program
We consider Zimmer's program of lattice actions on surfaces by PL homomorphisms. It is proved that when the surface is not the torus or Klein bottle the action of any finite-index subgroup of SL(n,Z), n>4, (more generally for any 2-big lattice), factors through a finite group action. The proof is based on an establishment of a PL version of Reeb-Thurston's stability.

Recent progress in the Zimmer program
This paper can be viewed as a sequel to the author's long survey on the Zimmer program \cite{F11} published in 2011. The sequel focuses on recent rapid progress on certain aspects of the program particularly concerning rigidity of Anosov actions and Zimmer's conjecture that there are no actions in low dimensions. Some emphasis is put on the surprising connections between these two different sets of developments and also on the key connections and ideas for future research that arise from these works taken together.

The action of matrix groups on aspherical manifolds
Let $\mathrm{SL}_{n}(\mathbb{Z})$ $(n\geq 3)$ be the special linear group and $M^{r}$ be a closed aspherical manifold. It is proved that when $r<n,$ a group action of $\mathrm{SL}_{n}(\mathbb{Z})$ on $M^{r}$ by homeomorphisms is trivial if and only if the induced group homomorphism $\mathrm{SL}_{n}(% \mathbb{Z})\rightarrow \mathrm{Out}(π_{1}(M))$ is trivial. For (almost) flat manifolds, we prove a similar result in terms of holonomy groups. Especially, when $π_{1}(M)$ is nilpotent, the group $\mathrm{SL}_{n}(% \mathbb{Z})$ cannot act nontrivially on $M$ when $r<n.$ This confirms a conjecture r…

GLC actors, artificial chemical connectomes, topological issues and knots
Based on graphic lambda calculus, we propose a program for a new model of asynchronous distributed computing, inspired from Hewitt Actor Model, as well as several investigation paths, concerning how one may graft lambda calculus and knot diagrammatics.

Quasi-Topological Gauged Sigma Models, The Geometric Langlands Program, And Knots
We construct and study a closed, two-dimensional, quasi-topological (0,2) gauged sigma model with target space a smooth G-manifold, where G is any compact and connected Lie group. When the target space is a flag manifold of simple G, and the gauge group is a Cartan subgroup thereof, the perturbative model describes, purely physically, the recently formulated mathematical theory of "Twisted Chiral Differential Operators". This paves the way, via a generalized T-duality, for a natural physical interpretation of the geometric Langlands correspondence for simply-connected, simple, complex Lie grou…
