We prove a rigidity of the lightcone in Minkowski space. It is essentially the unique space endowed with a degenerate Riemannian metric, of lightlike type, and supporting an isometric non-proper action of a semi-simple group.

It is known that the hyperbolic plane admits a countable infinity of compactifications into a closed disk such that the isometric action of SL(2;R) acts analytically on the compactified space. We prove that among those compactifications,…

We provide a fairly large family of amalgamated free product groups $\Gamma=\Gamma_1\ast_{\Sigma}\Gamma_2$ whose amalgam structure can be completely recognized from their von Neumann algebras. Specifically, assume that $\Gamma_i$ is a…

We prove that any real-analytic action of $SL(n,\Z), n\ge 3$ with standard homotopy data that preserves an ergodic measure $\mu$ whose support is not contained in a ball, is analytically conjugate on an open invariant set to the standard…

Flag kernels are tempered distributions which generalize these of Calderon-Zygmund type. For any homogeneous group $\mathbb{G}$ the class of operators which acts on $L^{2}(\mathbb{G})$ by convolution with a flag kernel is closed under…

In this paper, we study the second adjoint cohomology of the compexification of the real conformal Galilei algebras \(\mathfrak{cga}_\ell(d,\mathbb{R})\) and their central extensions. These algebras are non-semisimple Lie algebras that…

Let T_t=e^{-tL} be a semigroup of self-adjoint linear operators acting on L^2(X,mu), where (X,d mu) is a space of homogeneous type. We assume that T_t has an integral kernel T_t(x,y) which satisfies the upper and lower Gaussian bounds:…

In this work we are concerned with the multiplicity of the eigenvalues of the Neumann Laplacian in regions of Rn which are invariant under the natural action of a compact subgroup G of O(n). We give a partial positive answer (in the Neumann…

Building on our previous work, we study the non-relative homology of quantum group convolution algebras. Our main result establishes the equivalence of amenability of a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and 1-injectivity of…

Starting from a topological treatment of the Eisenstein class of a torus bundle, we define log-rigid analytic classes for $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$. These are group cohomology classes for $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{Z})$ valued on log-rigid…

We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…

We construct the representation of Double Affine Hecke Algebra whose symmetrization gives the center of the quantum group U_q(sl(2)) and by Kazhdan--Lusztig duality the Verlinde algebra of (1,p) models of logarithmic conformal field theory.

We consider the Temperley-Lieb algebras $\textrm{TL}_n(\delta)$ at $\delta = 1$. Since $\delta = 1$, we can consider the multiplicative monoid structure and ask how this monoid acts on topological spaces. Given a monoid action on a…

Using the methods of Ozawa [4] and Runde [5], we show that a type I von Neumann algebra is approximately amenable if and only if it is amenable.

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact manifold without boundary whose first homology is nontrivial. Hodge decomposition of the incompressible Euler's equation in terms of 1-forms yields a coupled PDE-ODE system. The $L^2$-orthogonal components are a…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H\subseteq G$ be its subgroup. We prove that if a smooth del Pezzo surface over an algebraically closed field is $H$-birationally rigid then it is also $G$-birationally rigid, answering a geometric version of…

We prove quantitative stability of isometries on the first Heisenberg group with sub-Riemannian geometry: every $ (1+ \varepsilon)$-quasi-isometry of the John domain of the Heisenberg group $ \mathbb {H} $ is close to some isometry with…

The moduli space of twisted holomorphic 1-forms on Riemann surfaces, equivalently dilation surfaces with scaling, admits a stratification and GL(2,R)-action as in the case of moduli spaces of translation surfaces. We produce an analogue of…

Given a Coxeter system $(W,S)$ and a positive real multiparameter $\bq$, we study the "weighted $L^2$-cohomology groups," of a certain simplicial complex $\Sigma$ associated to $(W,S)$. These cohomology groups are Hilbert spaces, as well as…

We study two sorts of actions on the space of conjugacy classes of irreducible $SU_2$-representations of a knot group. One of them is an involution which comes from the algebraic structure of $SU_2$ and the other is the action by the outer…
