We show that if a finite dimensional Hopf algebra over ${\bf C}$ has a basis such that all the structure constants are non-negative, then the Hopf algebra must be given by a finite group $G$ and a factorization $G=G_+G_-$ into two…

Genus $g$ Torelli space is the moduli space of genus $g$ curves of compact type equipped with a homology framing. The hyperelliptic locus is a closed analytic subvariety consisting of finitely many mutually isomorphic components. We use…

We study topological group theoretic properties of algebraic groups over local fields. In particular, we find conditions under which such groups have closed images under arbitrary continuous homomorphisms into arbitrary topological groups.

A number of geometric properties of $\Omega$-groups from a given variety of $\Omega$-groups can be characterized using the notions of domain and equational domain. An $\Omega$-group $H$ of a variety $\Theta$ is an equational domain in…

Given a group \( G \), a field \( \kappa \), and a factor set \( \sigma \) arising from a partial projective \( \kappa \)-representation of \( G \). This leads to the construction of a topological partial dynamical system \( (\Omega_\sigma,…

The aim of this paper is to study the topological properties of algebraic sets with zero divisors. We impose a subbasic topology on the set of proper ideals of a $k$-algebra and this new ``$k$-space'' becomes a generalization of the…

We classify all locally finite joinings of a horospherical subgroup action on \Gamma \ G when \Gamma is a Zariski dense geometrically finite subgroup of G=PSL_2(R) or PSL_2(C). This generalizes Ratner's 1983 joining theorem for the case…

Let G be any abelian group and {a_sG_s}_{s=1}^k be a finite system of cosets of subgroups G_1,...,G_k. We show that if {a_sG_s}_{s=1}^k covers all the elements of G at least m times with the coset a_tG_t irredundant then [G:G_t]\le 2^{k-m}…

We show that for a Hecke pair $(G, \Gamma)$ the $C^*$-completions $C^*(L^1(G, \Gamma))$ and $pC^*(\bar{G})p$ of its Hecke algebra coincide whenever the group algebra $L^1(\bar{G})$ satisfies a spectral property which we call…

If E(z,s) is the nonholomorphic Eisenstein series on the upper half plane, then for all y sufficiently large, E(z,s) has a "Siegel zero." That is E(z,\beta)=0 for a real number \beta just to the left of one. We give a generalization of this…

We obtain an infinite family of orthogonal hypergeometric groups, which are higher rank arithmetic groups. We also list cases of arithmetic hypergeometric groups whose real Zariski closure is O(2,3).

Given a finite abelian group $G$ and $t\in \mathbb{N}$, there are two natural types of subsets of the Cartesian power $G^t$; namely, Cartesian powers $S^t$ where $S$ is a subset of $G$, and (cosets of) subgroups $H$ of $G^t$. A basic…

Let $X$ be a locally symmetric space $\Gamma\backslash G/K$ where $G$ is a connected non-compact semisimple real Lie group with trivial centre, $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of $G$, and $\Gamma\subset G$ is a torsion-free irreducible…

We study the transience of algebraic varieties in linear groups. In particular, we show that a "non elementary" random walk in SL_2(R) escapes exponentially fast from every proper algebraic subvariety. We also treat the case where the…

Generalizing classical descriptive set theory opens foundational questions about the Borel hierarchy. In this paper we systematically study those questions, working in the general framework of Polish-like spaces relative to an uncountable…

We study the arithmetic of curves and Jacobians endowed with the action of a finite group $G$. This includes a study of the basic properties, as $G$-modules, of their $\ell$-adic representations, Selmer groups, rational points and…

For a compact surface $S$ with constant negative curvature $-\kappa$ (for some $\kappa>0$) and genus $g\geq2$, we show that the tails of the distribution of $i(\alpha,\beta)/l(\alpha)l(\beta)$ (where $i(\alpha,\beta)$ is the intersection…

Let $A$ be an integer matrix, and assume that its semigroup ring $\mathbb{C}[\mathbb{N}A]$ is normal. Fix a face $F$ of the cone of $A$. We show that the projection and restriction of an $A$-hypergeometric system to the coordinate subspace…

For a new class of topological vector spaces, namely $\kappa $-normed spaces, and associated quasisemilinear topological preordered space is defined and investigated. This structure arise naturally from the consideration of a $\kappa…
