We study the $\Gamma$-convergence of the functionals $F_n(u):= || f(\cdot,u(\cdot),Du(\cdot))||_{p_n(\cdot)}$ and $\mathcal{F}_n(u):= \int_{\Omega} \frac{1}{p_n(x)} f^{p_n(x)}(x,u(x),Du(x))dx$ defined on $X\in \{L^1(\Omega,\mathbb{R}^d),…

We study representations of a Leavitt path algebra $L$ of a finitely separated digraph $\Gamma$ over a field. We show that the category of $L$-modules is equivalent to a full subcategory of quiver representations. When $\Gamma$ is a…

We study the asymptotic geometry of a family of conformally planar minimal surfaces with polynomial growth in the $\mathrm{Sp}(4,\mathbb{R})$-symmetric space. We describe a homeomomorphism between the "Hitchin component" of wild…

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in a connected semisimple Lie group $G$ with trivial center and no compact factors. We introduce a volume invariant for representations of $\Gamma$ into $G$, which generalizes the volume invariant for…

This paper proves that in a non-elementary relatively hyperbolic group, the logarithm growth rate of any non-elementary subgroup has a linear lower bound by the logarithm of the size of the corresponding generating set. As a consequence,…

We establish vanishing results for limits of characters in various discrete groups, most notably irreducible lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups. As an application, we show that any sequence of finite-dimensional representations…

Powers of a polynomial $\operatorname{GL}$-representation are topologically Noetherian under the action of $\operatorname{Sym} \times \operatorname{GL}$. We extend this result to powers of algebraic representations of the orthogonal and the…

Let $\Gamma$ be a word hyperbolic group with a cyclic JSJ decomposition that has only rigid vertex groups, which are all fundamental groups of closed surface groups. We show that any group $H$ quasi-isometric to $\Gamma$ is abstractly…

We give a short new proof that for each non-elementary Kleinian group $\Gamma$, the exponent of convergence of an arbitrary non-trivial normal subgroup is bounded below by half of the exponent of convergence of $\Gamma$, and that strict…

Let $G$ be an acylindrically hyperbolic group on a $\delta$-hyperbolic space $X$. Assume there exists $M$ such that for any finite generating set $S$ of $G$, the set $S^M$ contains a hyperbolic element on $X$. Suppose that $G$ is…

We study an exponential sum over Laplacian eigenvalues $\lambda_{j} = 1/4+t_{j}^{2}$ with $t_{j} \leqslant T$ for Maass cusp forms on $\Gamma \backslash \mathbb{H}$, where $\Gamma$ is a cofinite Fuchsian group acting on the upper half-plane…

We investigate the rate of growth of the function of n which counts the number of complex irreducible representations of a fixed group of degree less than or equal to n. The emphasis is on linear groups, especially compact real and p-adic…

In this paper, we derive an asymptotic formula for the number of conjugacy classes of elements in a class of statistically convex-cocompact actions with contracting elements. Denote by $\mathcal C(o, n)$ (resp. $\mathcal C'(o, n)$) the set…

Suppose $(M^{n},g)$ is a Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature, and let $h_{d}(M)$ be the dimension of the space of harmonic functions with polynomial growth of growth order at most $d$. Colding and Minicozzi proved that…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group and let G be a complex reductive algebraic group. The representation variety $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,G)$ and the character variety $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,G)//G$ each carry a natural topology,…

Let $M= \Gamma \setminus \mathbb{H}_d$ be a compact quotient of the $d$-dimensional Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}_d$ by a lattice subgroup $\Gamma$. We show that the eigenvalue counting function $N(\lambda)$ for any fixed element of a family…

Ratner's theorem implies topological rigidity of immersed totally geodesic subspaces of noncompact type in finite-volume locally symmetric spaces. In higher rank and infinite volume, however, counter-examples to this rigidity have remained…

A group $\Gamma$ is said to be uniformly HS stable if any map $\varphi : \Gamma \to U(n)$ that is almost a unitary representation (w.r.t. the Hilbert Schmidt norm) is close to a genuine unitary representation of the same dimension. We…

Let $k$ be a finite field and let $G$ be a reductive group over $k[[\pi]]$. Suppose $\mathrm{char}(k)$ is larger than twice the Coxeter number of $G$, we prove the standard endoscopic fundamental lemma for the spherical Hecke algebra of $G$…
