We completely characterize the range of $L^p$-boundedness of certain multilinear Radon-like transforms involving vertical projections in the Heisenberg group.

Let $T^n$ denote the n-dimensional torus. The class of the bounded operators on $L^2(T^n)$ with analytic orbit under the action of $T^n$ by conjugation with the translation operators is shown to coincide with the class of the zero-order…

A permutation group is called semiprimitive if each of its normal subgroups is either transitive or semiregular. Given nontrivial finite transitive permutation groups $L_1$ and $L_2$ with $L_1$ not semiprimitive, we construct an infinite…

Using the description of dominions in the variety of nilpotent groups of class at most two, we give a characterization of which groups are absolutely closed in this variety. We use the general result to derive an easier characterization for…

A map is a 2-cell decomposition of an orientable closed surface. A dessin is a bipartite map with a fixed colouring of vertices. A dessin is regular if its group of colour- and orientation-preserving automorphisms acts transitively on the…

We study a control system resembling a singularly perturbed system whose variables are decomposed into groups that change their values with rates of different orders of magnitude. We establish that the slow trajectories of this system are…

We present some recent results on smooth vectors for unitary irreducible representations of nilpotent Lie groups. Applications to the Weyl-Pedersen calculus of pseudo-differential operators with symbols on the coadjoint orbits are also…

Solitons, which describe the propagation of concentrated beams of light through nonlinear media, can exhibit a variety of behaviors as a result of the intrinsic dissipation, diffraction, and the nonlinear effects. One of these phenomena,…

We consider the Radon transform associated to dual pairs $(X,\Xi)$ in the sense of Helgason, with $X=G/K$ and $\Xi=G/H$, where $G=\mathbb{R}^d\rtimes K$, $K$ is a closed subgroup of ${\rm GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$ and $H$ is a closed subgroup of…

In this paper, we introduce a discrete Riesz transforms associated with the non-symmetric trigonometric Heckman-Opdam polynomials of type $A_1$. We prove that they can be extended to a bounded operators on $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z})$,…

We compute the characteristic varieties and the Alexander polynomial of a finitely generated nilpotent group. We show that the first characteristic variety may be used to detect nilpotence. We use the Alexander polynomial to deduce that the…

Recall that a pseudofree group action on a space is one whose singular set consists only of isolated points. In this paper, we classify all of the finite groups which admit pseudofree actions on S^2 x S^2. The groups turn out to be exactly…

Consider the diagonal action of the special orthogonal group on the direct sum of a finite number of copies of the standard representation--the underlying field is assumed to be algebraically closed and of characteristic not equal to two.…

This paper has two main parts. In the first part we develop an elementary coordinatization for any nilpotent group $G$ taking exponents in a binomial principal ideal domain (PID) $A$. In case that the additive group $A^+$ of $A$ is finitely…

This paper is concerned with random walks on a family of dyadic-valued solvable matrix groups. A description of the Poisson boundary of these groups for probability measures of finite first moment and non-zero displacements (or drifts) is…

We construct an algebra of pseudodifferential operators on each groupoid in a class that generalizes differentiable groupoids to allow manifolds with corners. We show that this construction encompasses many examples. The subalgebra of…

In this article we obtain $L^2$ bounds for strongly singular integrals along curves in $\R^d;$ our results both generalise and extend to higher dimensions those obtained by Chandarana in the plane. Moreover, we show that the operators in…

In this paper we prove uniform oscillation estimates on $L^p$, with $p\in(1,\infty)$, for truncated singular integrals of the Radon type associated with Calder\'on-Zygmund kernel, both in continuous and discrete settings. In the discrete…

Let $M$ be a random matrix chosen according to Haar measure from the unitary group $\mathrm{U}(n,\mathbb{C})$. Diaconis and Shahshahani proved that the traces of $M,M^2,\ldots,M^k$ converge in distribution to independent normal variables as…

We consider finitely generated group endowed with a word metric. The group acts on itself by isometries, which induces an action on its horofunction boundary. The conjecture is that nilpotent groups act trivially on their reduced boundary.…
