We prove a general homological stability theorem for certain families of groups equipped with product maps, followed by two theorems of a new kind that give information about the last two homology groups outside the stable range. (These…

We show a uniform spectral gap of stable commutator length for all compact hyperbolic $2$-orbifolds relative to the peripheral subgroups. Except for the case of a sphere with three cone points, we have an explicit uniform gap $1/36$. These…

In a previous paper, the author (together with Matthew Emerton) proved that the completed cohomology groups of SL_N(Z) are stable in fixed degree as N goes to infinity (Z may be replaced by the ring O_F of integers of any number field). In…

The paper investigates the stability properties of restrictions of irreducible representations of the symmetric group to the hyperoctahedral subgroup. A stability result is obtained, analogous to the classical Murnaghan theorem on the…

We study the link between stably finiteness and stably projectionless-ness for $C^*$-algebras of solvable Lie groups. We show that these two properties are equivalent if the dimension of the group is not divisible by $4$; otherwise, they…

Let $G$ be a group and $N$ a normal subgroup of $G$. We study the large scale behavior, not the exact values themselves, of the stable mixed commutator length $scl_{G,N}$ on the mixed commutator subgroup $[G,N]$; when $N=G$, $scl_{G,N}$…

We show that the compactly supported cohomology of Shimura varieties of Hodge type of infinite $\Gamma_1(p^\infty)$-level (defined with respect to a Borel subgroup) vanishes above the middle degree, under the assumption that the group of…

In this paper the space of almost commuting elements in a Lie group is studied through a homotopical point of view. In particular a stable splitting after one suspension is derived for these spaces and their quotients under conjugation. A…

We develop a general theory of local stability up to belonging to an ideal (e.g. having measure zero). From a model-theoretic perspective, we prove a stationarity principle for almost stable formulas in this sense, and build a topological…

We prove a slope 1 stability range for the homology of the symplectic, orthogonal and unitary groups with respect to the hyperbolic form, over any fields other than $F_2$, improving the known range by a factor 2 in the case of finite…

We prove an effective variant of the Kazhdan-Margulis theorem generalized to stationary actions of semisimple groups over local fields: the probability that the stabilizer of a random point admits a non-trivial intersection with a small…

We study $\epsilon$-representations of discrete groups by unitary operators on a Hilbert space. We define the notion of Ulam stability of a group which loosely means that finite-dimensional $\epsilon$-represendations are uniformly close to…

Artin vanishing theorems for Stein spaces refer to the vanishing of some of their (co)homology groups in degrees higher than the dimension. We obtain new positive and negative results concerning Artin vanishing for the cohomology of a Stein…

Given a commutative unital ring $R$, we show that the finiteness length of a group $G$ is bounded above by the finiteness length of the Borel subgroup of rank one $\mathbf{B}_2^\circ(R)=\left( \begin{smallmatrix} * & * \\ 0 & *…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group and $B$ be a Borel subgroup defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, the authors study the existence of generic $G$-cohomology and its stability with…

We prove that stable subgroups of Morse local-to-global groups exhibit a growth gap. That is, the growth rate of an infinite-index stable subgroup is strictly less than the growth rate of the ambient Morse local-to-global group. This…

We study groups acting by length-preserving transformations on spaces equipped with asymmetric, partially-defined distance functions. We introduce a natural notion of quasi-isometry for such spaces and exhibit an extension of the…

A new approach to superstability and finite time extinction of strongly continuous semigroups is presented, unifying known results and providing new criteria for these conditions to hold analogous to the well-known Pazy condition for…

We show that the set $SCL^{rp}$ of stable commutator lengths on recursively presented groups equals the set of non-negative right-computable numbers. Hence all non-negative algebraic or computable numbers are in $SCL^{rp}$ and $SCL^{rp}$ is…

Let $\{A_m\}$ be a pro system of associative commutative, not necessarily unital, rings. Assume that the pro systems $\{\mathrm{Tor}^{\mathbb{Z}\ltimes A_m}_i(\mathbb{Z},\mathbb{Z})\}_m$ vanish for all $i>0$. Then we prove that the sequence…
