We introduce the concept of index for regular Dirichlet forms by means of energy measures, and discuss its properties. In particular, it is proved that the index of strong local regular Dirichlet forms is identical with the martingale…

We give a criterion for a finitely generated odd-angled Coxeter group to have a proper finite index subgroup generated by reflections. The answer is given in terms of the least prime divisors of the exponents of the Coxeter relations.

It is shown that most lattices $\Gamma$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and $\mathbb{R}^3$ possess a fundamental domain $F$ for the action of $\Gamma$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$, respectively $\mathbb{R}^3$, having more symmetries than the point group…

Looking to the fundamental domains of space groups we can investigate in which space they can be realized. If this space is hyperbolic, then the corresponding space group is also hyperbolic. In addition to the usual methods for…

For a multidimensional driftless diffusion in an unbounded, smooth, sub-linear generalized parabolic domain, with oblique reflection from the boundary, we give natural conditions under which either explosion occurs, if the domain narrows…

If G is a finite group and k is a field, there is a natural construction of a Hopf algebra over k associated to G, the Drinfel'd double D(G). We prove that if G is any finite real reflection group with Drinfel'd double D(G) over an…

We consider a trace theorem for self-similar Dirichlet forms on self-similar sets to self-similar subsets. In particular, we characterize the trace of the domains of Dirichlet forms on the Sierpinski gaskets and the Sierpinski carpets to…

We give an algorithm to determine finitely many generators for a subgroup of finite index in the unit group of an integral group ring $\mathbb{Z} G$ of a finite nilpotent group $G$, this provided the rational group algebra $\mathbb{Q} G$…

Let G/H be a hyperbolic space over R C or H, and let K be a maximal compact subgroup of G. Let D denote a certain explicit invariant differential operator, such that the non-cuspidal discrete series belong to the kernel of D. For any…

A fundamental domain $F\subset H^2$ for the Hilbert modular group belonging to the quadratic number field $Q(\sqrt{5})$ was constructed by G\"otzky almost a hundred years ago. He also gave a lower bound for the height $y_1y_2$ of the points…

In this partly expository monograph we develop a general framework for producing uncountable families of exotic actions of certain classically studied groups acting on the circle. We show that if $L$ is a nontrivial limit group then the…

We study the subgroup structure, Hecke algebras, quasi-regular representations, and asymptotic properties of some fractal groups of branch type. We introduce parabolic subgroups, show that they are weakly maximal, and that the corresponding…

We address the well-posedness of the Muskat problem in a periodic geometry and in a setting which allows us to consider general initial and boundary data, gravity effects, as well as surface tension effects. In the absence of surface…

We give strengthened versions of the Herwig-Lascar and Hodkinson-Otto extension theorems for partial automorphisms of finite structures. Such strengthenings yield several combinatorial and group-theoretic consequences for homogeneous…

We study the semicontinuity of automorphism groups for perturbations of domains in complex space or in complex manifolds. We provide a new approach to the study of such results for domains having minimal boundary smoothness. The emphasis in…

A Fuchsian group $\Gamma$ has a modular embedding if its adjoint trace field is a totally real number field and every unbounded Galois conjugate $\Gamma^\sigma$ comes equipped with a holomorphic (or conjugate holomorphic) map ${\phi^\sigma…

Flag domains are open orbits of real forms $G_\mathbb{R}$ of complex reductive Lie supergroups $G$ in $G$-flag supermanifolds $Z = G/P$. This thesis discusses three topics from the theory of these flag domains: 1. Measurability(i.e.…

In this paper we prove convergence results for the homogenization of the Dirichlet problem with rapidly oscillating boundary data in convex polygonal domains. Our analysis is based on integral representation of solutions. Under a certain…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^2$ be a bounded domain of class $C^{2+\alpha}$, $0<\alpha<1$. We show that if $u$ is the maximal solution of $\Delta u = 4\exp(2u)$, which tends to $+\infty$ as $(x,y)\to\partial\Omega$, then the hyperbolic…

We characterize the semi-conjugacy class of a Fuchsian action of the modular group on the circle in terms of rotation numbers of two standard generators and that of their product. We also show that among lifts of a Fuchsian action of the…
