A class of subharmonic functions are proved to have the growth estimates $u(x)= o(x_n^{1-\frac{\alpha}{p}}|x|^{\frac{\gamma}{p}+\frac{n-1}{q}-n+\frac{\alpha}{p}})$ at infinity in the upper half space of ${\bf R}^{n}$, which generalizes the…

A group presentation is said to have rational growth if the generating series associated to its growth function represents a rational function. A long-standing open question asks whether the Heisenberg group has rational growth for all…

We introduce a quantitative notion of lawlessness for finitely generated groups, encoded by the "lawlessness growth function" $\mathcal{A}_{\Gamma} : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$. We show that $\mathcal{A}_{\Gamma}$ is bounded iff…

Given a discrete group $\Gamma=<g_1,\ldots,g_M>$ and a number $K\in\mathbb N$, a unitary representation $\rho:\Gamma\to U_K$ is called quasi-flat when the eigenvalues of each $\rho(g_i)\in U_K$ are uniformly distributed among the $K$-th…

Given a lattice \Gamma in a locally compact group G and a closed subgroup H of G, one has a natural action of \Gamma on the homogeneous space V=H\G. For an increasing family of finite subsets {\Gamma_T: T>0}, a dense orbit v\Gamma, v\in V,…

Let $G$ be an infinite group and let $X$ be a finite generating set for $G$ such that the growth series of $G$ with respect to $X$ is a rational function; in this case $G$ is said to have rational growth with respect to $X$. In this paper a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a non-uniform lattice in $SL(2, \mathbb R)$. In this paper, we study various $L^2$-norms of automorphic representations of $SL(2, \mathbb R)$. We bound these norms with intrinsic norms defined on the representation.…

It is shown that the number of labelled graphs with n vertices that can be embedded in the orientable surface S_g of genus g grows asymptotically like $c^{(g)}n^{5(g-1)/2-1}\gamma^n n!$ where $c^{(g)}>0$, and $\gamma \approx 27.23$ is the…

In this work we apply Noncommutative Potential Theory to prove (relative) amenability and the (relative) Haagerup Property $(H)$ of von Neumann algebras in terms of the spectral growth of Dirichlet forms. Examples deal with (inclusions of)…

We study the asymptotic behaviour of simply connected, Riemannian manifolds $X$ of strictly negative curvature admitting a non-uniform lattice $\Gamma$. If the quotient manifold $\bar X= \Gamma \backslash X$ is asymptotically $1/4$-pinched,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a non-elementary, non-convex-cocompact Kleinian group acting on $\mathbb{H}^{d}$. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of the sublinearly conical Myrberg limit set of $\Gamma$ is equal to the critical exponent of $\Gamma$.…

Let $\Gamma_{g}$ be the fundamental group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus $g\geq2$. We develop a new method for integrating over the representation space $\mathbb{X}_{g,n}=\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma_{g},S_{n})$ where $S_{n}$ is…

We consider compact Hankel operators realized in $ \ell^2(\mathbb Z_+)$ as infinite matrices $\Gamma$ with matrix elements $h(j+k)$. Roughly speaking, we show that if $h(j)\sim (b_{1}+ (-1)^j b_{-1}) j^{-1}(\log j)^{-\alpha}$ as $j\to…

Let L be a Lie group and Lambda a lattice in L. Suppose G is a non-compact simple Lie group realized as a Lie subgroup of L, and the image of G on L/Lambda is dense. Let c be a diagonalizable element of G not contained in a compact…

We prove lower bounds on $||T_t||$, where $T_t$ is a one-parameter semigroup, starting from information on the resolvent norms, i.e. the pseudospectra. We provide a physically important example in which the growth of the semigroup norm…

We formulate a generalization of the volume conjecture for planar graphs. Denoting by <G, c> the Kauffman bracket of the graph G whose edges are decorated by real "colors" c, the conjecture states that, under suitable conditions, certain…

We study semigroups of convex monotone operators on spaces of continuous functions and their behaviour with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence. In contrast to the linear theory, the domain of the generator is, in general, not invariant under…

Let $s_n^\mathrm{ch}(\Gamma)$ denote the number of characteristic subgroups of index at most $n$ in a finitely generated group $\Gamma$. In response to a question of I. Rivin we show that if $\Gamma = F_r$ is the free group on $r \geq 2$…

We show that there are well separated families of quantum expanders with asymptotically the maximal cardinality allowed by a known upper bound. This has applications to the "growth" of certain operator spaces: It implies asymptotically…

Let $\Lambda = \mathrm{SL}_2(\Bbb Z)$ be the modular group and let $c_n(\Lambda)$ be the number of congruence subgroups of $\Lambda$ of index at most $n$. We prove that $\lim\limits_{n\to \infty} \frac{\log c_n(\Lambda)}{(\log n)^2/\log\log…
