We study the spectra of cyclic signatures of finite graphs and the corresponding cyclic lifts. Starting from a bipartite Ramanujan graph, we prove the existence of an infinite tower of $3$-cyclic lifts, each of which is again Ramanujan.

We define $k$-dimensional digraphs and initiate a study of their spectral theory. The $k$-dimensional digraphs can be viewed as generating graphs for small categories called $k$-graphs. Guided by geometric insight, we obtain several new…

Let $X$ be an infinite graph of bounded degree; e.g., the Cayley graph of a free product of finite groups. If $G$ is a finite graph covered by $X$, it is said to be $X$-Ramanujan if its second-largest eigenvalue $\lambda_2(G)$ is at most…

Let $p(Y_1, \dots, Y_d, Z_1, \dots, Z_e)$ be a self-adjoint noncommutative polynomial, with coefficients from $\mathbb{C}^{r \times r}$, in the indeterminates $Y_1, \dots, Y_d$ (considered to be self-adjoint), the indeterminates $Z_1,…

We construct a compactification of the Bruhat-Tits building associated to the group PGL(V) which can be identified with the space of homothety classes of seminorms on V endowed with the topology of pointwise convergence. Then we define a…

We study a family of polynomials whose values express degrees of Schubert varieties in the generalized complex flag manifold G/B. The polynomials are given by weighted sums over saturated chains in the Bruhat order. We derive several…

We study Baxter's T-Q equation of XXX spin-chain models under the semiclassical limit where an intriguing SU(N)/SU(2)^{N-3} correspondence emerges. That is, two kinds of 4D \mathcal{N}=2 superconformal field theories having the above…

Strong bounds - going beyond Sarnak's density hypothesis - are obtained for the number of automorphic forms for the congruence subgroup Gamma_0(q) of SL_n(Z) violating the Ramanujan conjecture at any given unramified place. The proof is…

It was recently shown by Lubetzky and Peres (2016) and by Sardari (2018) that Ramanujan graphs, i.e., graphs with the optimal spectrum, exhibit cutoff of the simple random walk in an optimal time and have an optimal almost-diameter. We show…

In this paper, we expand on the work of Guo and Zeng from 2007 on a generalization of the Ramanujan polynomials and planar trees. We manage to find combinatorial interpretations of this family of polynomials in terms of Greg trees, Cayley…

The congruence subgroups of braid groups arise from a congruence condition on the integral Burau representation $B_n \to \operatorname{GL}_{n}(\mathbb Z)$. We find the image of such congruence subgroups in $\operatorname{GL}_{n}(\mathbb…

Let $G$ be a simple group over a global function field $K$, and let $\pi$ be a cuspidal automorphic representation of $G$. Suppose $K$ has two places $u$ and $v$ (satisfying a mild restriction on the residue field cardinality), at which the…

We continue generalizing Altu\u{g}'s work on $\mathsf{GL}_2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ in the unramified setting for \emph{Beyond Endoscopy} to the ramified case where ramification occurs at $S=\{\infty,q_1,\dots,q_r\}$ with $2\in S$, after…

Answering a question asked by Agol and Wise, we show that a desired stronger form of Wise's malnormal special quotient theorem does not hold. The counterexamples are generalizations of triangle groups, built using the Ramanujan graphs…

Tuza (1981) conjectured that the size $\tau(G)$ of a minimum set of edges that intersects every triangle of a graph $G$ is at most twice the size $\nu(G)$ of a maximum set of edge-disjoint triangles of $G$. In this paper we present three…

In this paper we study the Bruhat decomposition of not necessarily connected reductive quasi-split groups $G$ with respect to not necessarily connected parabolic subgroups. If $G$ is defined over a finite field, we construct a smooth…

Among connected linear algebraic groups, quasi-reductive groups generalize pseudo-reductive groups, which in turn form a useful relaxation of the notion of reductivity. We study quasi-reductive groups over non-archimedean local fields,…

Recently Alday, Gaiotto and Tachikawa proposed a conjecture relating 4-dimensional super-symmetric gauge theory for a gauge group G with certain 2-dimensional conformal field theory. This conjecture implies the existence of certain…

Within the context of the extended bi-spinor gauge theory we describe a new off-shell realization of scalar supersymmetry (s-susy) of massless interacting fields with U(1), U(1) x SU(N) and U(1) x SU(N_1) x SU(N_2) gauge groups. S-susy acts…

Abhyankar proved that every field of finite transcendence degree over $\mathbb{Q}$ or over a finite field is a homomorphic image of a subring of the ring of polynomials $\mathbb{Z}[T_1, \dots, T_n]$ (for some $n$ depending on the field). We…
