We construct and study a family of double-periodic almost entire solutions of the maximal surface equation. The solutions are parameterized by a submanifold of $3\times 3$-matrices (the so-called generating matrices). We show that the…

We introduce a quantitative characterization of subgroup alternatives modeled on the Tits alternative in terms of group laws and investigate when this property is preserved under extensions. We develop a framework that lets us expand the…

It is shown that the product of two nonscalar conjugacy classes of the special linear group SL$(n,K)$ contains matrices of arbitrary trace if $n \ge 4$ and $K$ is an abitrary field or $n=3$ and $K$ is finite.

We consider a one-parametric series of left-invariant Lorentzian structures on the universal covering of the Lie group SL(2,R). These structures have SO(1,1)-symmetry and they are deformations of the anti-de Sitter Lorentzian manifold. We…

We consider lattices generated by finite Abelian groups. We prove that such a lattice is strongly eutactic, which means the normalized minimal vectors of the lattice form a spherical 2-design, if and only if the group is of odd order or if…

This paper studies structured products of real matrices for which the top Lyapunov exponent can be accessed by reducing the dynamics to an amenable generalization of upper triangular matrices. Exploiting prescribed zero patterns (including…

We establish the universality of the singular numbers in random matrix products over $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ as the number of products approaches infinity, with a fixed $n\ge 1$. We demonstrate that, under a broad class of…

In this paper, we study the $ K $-finite matrix coefficients of integrable representations of the metaplectic cover of $ \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R) $ and give a result on the non-vanishing of their Poincar\'{e} series. We do this by adapting…

In this paper we study $\times_0$-products of Lann\'er diagrams. We prove that every $\times_0$-product of at least four Lann\'er diagrams with at least one diagram of order $\ge 3$ is superhyperbolic. As a corollary, we obtain that known…

We consider symplectic cocycles over two classes of partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms: having compact center leaves and time one maps of Anosov flows. We prove that the Lyapunov exponents are non-zero in an open and dense set in the…

We count matrices in the special linear group SL(n, Z) whose characteristic polynomials split completely over Q.

It is known that every complex square matrix with nonnegative determinant is the product of positive semi-definite matrices. There are characterizations of matrices that require two or five positive semi-definite matrices in the product.…

In this paper we study Holder continuous linear cocycles over transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms. Under various conditions of relative pinching we establish properties including existence and continuity of measurable invariant sub-bundles…

Finite $p$-groups of nilpotency class 2 are treated from the perspective of central extensions. Given finite abelian groups $G,A$, we derive an explicit formula for cocycles representing elements of $H^2(G,A)$, compute $H^2(G,A)$, and…

Let $A$ be a unital associative algebra over a field $k$. All unital associative algebras containing $A$ as a subalgebra of a given codimension $\mathfrak{c}$ are described and classified. For a fixed vector space $V$ of dimension…

A classical result of J\o rgensen and Thurston shows that the set of volumes of finite volume complete hyperbolic $3$-manifolds is a well-ordered subset of the real numbers of order type~$\omega^\omega$; moreover, each volume can only be…

For even $q$, a group $G$ isomorphic to $PSL(2,q)$ stabilizes a Baer conic inside a symplectic subquadrangle ${\cal W}(3,q)$ of ${\cal H}(3,q^2)$. In this paper the action of $G$ on points and lines of ${\cal H}(3,q^2)$ is investigated. A…

We give a number of results about families of Ulam sets. Generalizing behavior of Ulam sets U(1,n), we prove using an novel model theoretic approach that there is a rigidity phenomenon for Ulam sets U(a,b) as b increases. Based on this, we…

We answer the question if the continuous product of square matrices $M(t)$ over $t\in [0,1]$ can be correctly defined. The case where all $M(t)$ are taken from a finite set $\Sigma$ is studied. We find necessary and sufficient conditions on…

We study the countable set of rates of growth of a hyperbolic group with respect to all its finite generating sets. We prove that the set is well-ordered, and that every real number can be the rate of growth of at most finitely many…
