We provide the first example of a finitely presented, and the first example of a simple, group of non-uniform exponential growth. The example is given by Thompson's group V.

Consider, on the space of marked groups, the map $\mathrm{Res}_{\mathcal{C}}$ which associates to a marked group its greatest residually-$\mathcal{C}$ quotient, for different sets $\mathcal{C}$ of groups. Except for trivial cases, this map…

Let $\mathcal{H}(b)$ be the de Branges-Rovnyak space associated to a non-extreme point $b$ of the unit ball of $H^\infty$, and let $\phi=b/a$, where $a$ is the Pythagorean mate of $b$. It is known that, if $f$ is a function holomorphic on a…

We construct canonical extensions of $p$-adic shtukas on integral models of toroidal compactifications of abelian-type Shimura varieties with quasi-parahoric levels at any prime number $p$. More precisely, we define the notion of a log…

We show that groups with a mild form of non-positive curvature (a navigable path system) satisfy the weak rank rigidity conjecture: they either have linear divergence or a Morse element. This class includes discrete groups of projective…

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a symmetrizable Kac-Moody Lie algebra and let $\rho$ denote the sum of the fundamental weights. The irreducible highest weight representations $V(m\rho)$ occupy a distinguished position in representation theory due to…

In this article we study the Iwasawa invariants of Bertolini--Darmon theta elements in the anticyclotomic $\mathbb{Z}_p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field $K$ for weight two modular forms $f\in S_2(\Gamma_0(N))$. We cover both the…

The classes of abelian groups that are (uniformly) strongly Hopfian abelian groups, and dually, (uniformly) strongly co-Hopfian abelian groups have been studied by several authors, including Abdelalim (2015) and Abdelalim-Chillali-Essanouni…

We modify the approach to the arithmetical form of the large sieve by relying on the Parseval identity rather than on an approximate Bessel inequality and as a consequence, improve on the weighted large sieve inequality beyond what was…

We show that the affine cactus group is a CAT$(0)$ group for all degrees. Furthermore, we show that the affine cactus group $AJ_3$ of degree three is a hyperbolic group.

We give a simple example of a polynomial contraction automorphism of $\mathbb C^d$, $ d\ge 3 $, with unbounded degree growth. Combined with Poincar\'e-Dulac theorem it provides an algebraic automorphism of $\mathbb C^d$, $ d\ge 3 $, which…

We construct a family of Whittaker functions for $SL(m,\mathbb{Z})$ induced directly from Whittaker functions for $SL(n,\mathbb{Z})$, for any $2 \leq m<n$. Given Jacquet's Whittaker function $W_{\alpha,N}^{(n)}$ on the generalized upper…

Affine Coxeter groups are fundamental objects in mathematics and in crystallography. If two group elements are conjugate, then they have very similar algebraic and geometric properties. Using recent structural results of Mili\'cevi\'c,…

Nagano spaces are compact symmetric spaces that admit large transformation groups. They include for instance all the Grassmannians and the Einstein Universes. In this paper, we study a Kobayashi-type pseudometric on domains in real-type…

Let $p$ be a prime. Suppose that integers $r$, $e$, $d$ such that $r \ge 2$, $e \ge 0$, $0 \le d \le p$ are given. Let $f(x)=s_0 x^r + s_1 x^{r-1} + \cdots + s_r$ be a generic polynomial of degree $r$ in characteristic $p$. We put…

A linearized function field $F$ can be viewed as a Galois extension of a rational function field $K(x)$. For a totally ramified place $Q$ of degree one in $F/K(x)$, we give a unified description of the set $G(Q)$ of gaps at $Q$. As a…

We study the connection between the Mersenne numbers $M(n) = 2^n-1$ and the dynamics of the angle-doubling map. Within this framework, we develop an algorithm to compute divisors of Mersenne numbers without explicitly evaluating $M(n)$.…

We construct a $1$-bounded completely multiplicative function $f$ whose logarithmically-averaged partial sums satisfy $$ \limsup_{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\left|\sum_{n \leq x} \frac{f(n)}{n}\right|}{1+\exp\left(\sum_{p \leq x}…

In our previous papers we repeatedly emphasized the special role in Quaternionic Analysis of the conformal group SU(2,2) and other real forms of its complexification SL(4,C). In particular, the natural product map of the left and right…

In this paper, we investigate two subclasses of analytic and univalent functions associated with the exponential mapping $\varphi(z)=e^{\alpha z},\qquad 0<\alpha\le1,$ defined via the subordination conditions $\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}\prec…
