In this article, we prove that every compact simple Lie group $SO(n)$ for $n\geq 10$ admits at least $2\left([\frac{n-1}{3}]-2\right)$ non-naturally reductive left-invariant Einstein metrics.

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and $k[[z]]$ the ring of formal power series over $k$. We provide several characterizations of right amenable finitely generated subsemigroups of $z^2k[[z]]$ with the…

Let $\omega$ be a Morse form on a manifold $M$. Let $p:\hat M\to M$ be a regular covering with structure group $G$, such that $p^*([\omega])=0$. Let $\xi:G\to\mathbf{R}$ be the corresponding period homomorphism. Denote by ${\hat…

In this note we are concerned with the distribution of Einstein and non-Einstein nilradicals among all nilpotent Lie groups. A nilpotent Lie group is called an Einstein, resp. non-Einstein, nilradical if it is a nilpotent Lie group which…

Given an arbitrary d>0 we construct a group G and a group ring element S in Z[G] such that the spectral measure mu of S has the property that mu((0,eps)) > C/|log(eps)|^(1+d) for small eps. In particular the Novikov-Shubin invariant of any…

We consider the groups G which arise from real semisimple Jordan algebras via the Tits-Koecher-Kantor construction. Such a G is characterized by the fact that it admits a parabolic subgroup P=LN which is conjugate to its opposite, and for…

In noncommutative geometry a `Lie algebra' or bidirectional bicovariant differential calculus on a finite group is provided by a choice of an ad-stable generating subset C stable under inversion. We study the associated Killing form. For…

For any right-angled Artin group, we show that its outer automorphism group contains either a finite-index nilpotent subgroup or a nonabelian free subgroup. This is a weak Tits alternative theorem. We find a criterion on the defining graph…

Introducing a way to modify knots using $n$-trivial rational tangles, we show that knots with given values of Vassiliev invariants of bounded degree can have arbitrary unknotting number (extending a recent result of Ohyama, Taniyama and…

The main result of this paper is a generalization of the theorem of Chevalley-Shephard-Todd to the rings of invariants of pseudo-reflection groups over regular domains. More precisely, let $A$ be a regular domain and let $K$ be its field of…

We explain how the Harish-Chandra Plancherel Theorem and results in relative Lie algebra cohomology can be used in order to compute in a uniform way the $L^2$-Betti numbers, the Novikov-Shubin invariants, and the $L^2$-torsion of compact…

We prove that for any prime number $p$, every finite non-abelian $p$-group $G$ of class 2 has a noninner automorphism of order $p$ leaving either the Frattini subgroup $\Phi(G)$ or $\Omega_1(Z(G))$ elementwise fixed.

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group and $\mathrm{Sub}(\Gamma)$ its Chabauty space, namely the compact $\Gamma$-space consisting of all subgroups of $\Gamma$. We call a subgroup $\Delta \in \mathrm{Sub}(\Gamma)$ a boomerang subgroup if for…

For any nontrivial abelian group $\mathbb{X}$ we construct a reversible (bireversible in case the order of $\mathbb{X}$ is odd) automaton such that its set of states and alphabet are identified with $\mathbb{X}$, transition and output…

Given an irrational number $\alpha$ consider its irrationality measure function $\psi_{\alpha}(t)=\min\limits_{1\le q\le t, q\in\mathbb{Z}}\|q\alpha\|$. The set of all values of $\lambda(\alpha)=(\limsup\limits_{t\to\infty}…

Let $A$ be a ring with $1\neq 0$, not necessarily finite, endowed with an involution~$*$, that is, an anti-automorphism of order $\leq 2$. Let $H_n(A)$ be the additive group of all $n\times n$ hermitian matrices over $A$ relative to $*$.…

We give an easy proof of Sch\"utzenberger's Theorem stating that non-commutative formal power series are rational if and only if they are recognisable. A byproduct of this proof is a natural metric on a subgroup of invertible rational…

Let $\zeta(s)$ be the Riemann zeta function. We prove the statement in the title, which improves a recent result of Rivoal and Zudilin by lowering $69$ to $35$. We also prove that at least one of $\beta(2),\beta(4),\ldots,\beta(10)$ is…

Using the description of the Frobenius limit of modules over the ring of invariants under an action of a finite group on a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic $p>0$ developed by Symonds and the author, we give a characterization…

We restrict the type of $2 \times 2$-matrices which can occur as simple components in the Wedderburn decomposition of the rational group algebra of a finite group. This results in a description up to commensurability of the group of units…
