We provide a general construction of convex cocompact hyperbolic reflection groups with three-dimensional limit sets. More precisely, our construction takes as input an arbitrary simplicial complex L of dimension 3 on n vertices, and…

We study the large scale geometry of the upper triangular subgroup of PSL(2,Z[1/n]), which arises naturally in a geometric context. We prove a quasi-isometry classification theorem and show that these groups are quasi-isometrically rigid…

We introduce the symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}_2(G, \sigma)$ associated to a Lie subgroup $G$ of a (possibly noncommutative) associative algebra $A$ equipped with an anti-involution $\sigma$. Our construction recovers several classical Lie…

Given a non-empty bounded subset of hyperbolic space and a Kleinian group acting on that space, the orbital set is the orbit of the given set under the action of the group. We may view orbital sets as bounded (often fractal) subsets of…

We discuss the linearity and discreteness of amalgamated products of linear word-hyperbolic groups. In particular, we prove that the double of an Anosov group along a maximal cyclic subgroup is always linear, and we construct examples of…

Let $G$ be a Lie group with a biinvariant metric, not necessarily positive definite. It is shown that a certain construction carried out in an earlier paper for the fundamental group of a closed surface may be extended to an arbitrary…

In this paper, we utilize our previous results on mod p monodromy of cyclic coverings of the projective line to realize a large series of groups of the form PSL(n, q) and PSU(n, q) as Galois groups over Q. We achieve for the first time a…

We classify algebraic curves in $\mathbb{CP}^{n}$ ($n \geq 2$) that are invariant under an infinite subgroup of $\operatorname{PGL}(n+1,\mathbb{C})$. In particular, we prove that any irreducible, non-degenerate, one-dimensional algebraic…

For group actions on hyperbolic CAT(0) square complexes, we show that the acylindricity of the action is equivalent to a weaker form of acylindricity phrased purely in terms of stabilisers of points, which has the advantage of being much…

Given a field $K$, we investigate which subgroups of the group Aut$\mathbb{A}^2_K$ of polynomial automorphisms of the plane are linear or not. The results are contrasted. The group Aut$\mathbb{A}^2_K$ itself is nonlinear, except if $K$ is…

We study the action of a relatively hyperbolic group on its boundary, by methods of symbolic dynamics. Under a condition on the parabolic subgroups, we show that this dynamical system is finitely presented. We give examples where this…

We obtain a bi-Lipschitz rigidity theorem for a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a connected simple real algebraic group. As an application, we show that any Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a higher rank semisimple algebraic group $G$…

We construct a sequence of primitive-stable representations of free groups into PSL(2,C) whose ranks go to infinity, but whose images are discrete with quotient manifolds that converge geometrically to a knot complement. In particular this…

We provide a proof of the (well-known) result that the Poincar\'e exponent of a non-elementary Kleinian group is a lower bound for the upper box dimension of the limit set. Our proof only uses elementary hyperbolic and fractal geometry.

For real hyperbolic spaces, the dynamics of individual isometries and the geometry of the limit set of nonelementary discrete isometry groups have been studied in great detail. Most of the results were generalised to discrete isometry…

In this note we prove that a complex hyperbolic triangle group of type (m,m,infinity), i.e. a group of isometries of the complex hyperbolic plane, generated by complex reflections in three complex geodesics meeting at angles Pi/m, Pi/m and…

We consider the natural action of the quaternionic projective linear group $\mathrm{PSL}(n+1,\mathbb{H})$ on the quaternionic projective space $\mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{H}}$. We compute the Kulkarni limit sets for the cyclic subgroups of…

We give examples of countable linear groups in $SL_{n}(R)$ for $n \ge 3$, with no nontrivial normal abelian subgroups, that admit a faithful sharply 2-transitive action on a set. Without the linearity assumption, such groups were recently…

Generalizing a classical theorem of Carlson and Toledo, we prove that any Zariski dense isometric action of a K\"{a}hler group on the real hyperbolic space of dimension at least 3 factors through a homomorphism onto a cocompact discrete…

We study embeddings of $\mathrm{PSL}_2(p^a)$ into exceptional groups $G(p^b)$ for $G=F_4,E_6,{}^2\!E_6,E_7$, and $p$ a prime with $a,b$ positive integers. With a few possible exceptions, we prove that any almost simple group with socle…
