Let $G$ be a finite group and $k$ a field of prime characteristic $p$. We examine the Lefschetz homomorphism $\Lambda: \mathcal{E}_k(G) \to O(T(kG))$ from the group of endotrivial complexes, i.e. the Picard group of the bounded homotopy…
We establish topological local rigidity for uniform lattices in compactly generated groups, extending the result of Weil from the realm of Lie groups. We generalize the classical local rigidity theorem of Selberg, Calabi and Weil to…
Let G be a connected complex simple Lie group with maximal compact subgroup U. Let g be the Lie algebra of G, and X = G/U be the associated Riemannian globally symmetric space of type IV. We have constructed three types of arithmetic…
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…
Let $G$ be a compact Lie group. (Compact) topological $G$-manifolds have the $G$-homotopy type of (finite-dimensional) countable $G$-CW complexes (2.5). This partly generalizes Elfving's theorem for locally linear $G$-manifolds [Elf96],…
The Liebeck-Nikolov-Shalev conjecture [LNS12] asserts that, for any finite simple non-abelian group $G$ and any set $A\subseteq G$ with $|A|\geq 2$, $G$ is the product of at most $N\frac{\log|G|}{\log|A|}$ conjugates of $A$, for some…
Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $H$ a closed subgroup of $G$. Suppose the homogeneous space $G/H$ is effective and has dimension 3 or higher. Consider a $G$-invariant, symmetric, positive-semidefinite, nonzero (0,2)-tensor…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive group acting on a complex vector space $V$ and projective space ${\mathbb P}V$. Let $x\in V$ and ${\cal H}\subseteq {\cal G}$ be the Lie algebra of its stabilizer. Our objective is to understand points…
We compute the full holonomy group of compact Lorentzian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor, which are neither conformally flat nor locally symmetric, for the case where the fundamental group is contained in a distinguished subgroup G of…
We classify the effective and transitive actions of a Lie group $G$ on an n-dimensional non-degenerate hyperboloid (also called real pseudo-hyperbolic space), under the assumption that $G$ is a closed, connected Lie subgroup of…
The deep theory of approximate subgroups establishes 3-step product growth for subsets of finite simple groups $G$ of Lie type of bounded rank. In this paper we obtain 2-step growth results for representations of such groups $G$ (including…
By recent work on some conjectures of Pillay, each definably compact group $G$ in a saturated o-minimal expansion of an ordered field has a normal ``infinitesimal subgroup'' $G^{00}$ such that the quotient $G/G^{00}$, equipped with the…
We develop a local Lie theory for Lie algebras equipped with a quasi-norm, i.e., complete topological vector spaces satisfying a relaxed triangle inequality $\|x+y\|\le \Ctri(\|x\|+\|y\|)$ with $\Ctri\ge 1$. We prove that the…
Given an algebraic variety $X\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ with stabilizer $H$, the quotient $PGL_{N+1}/H$ can be interpreted a parameter space for all $PGL_{N+1}$-translates of $X$. We define $X$ to be a $\textit{homogeneous variety}$ if $H$ acts…
We study homogeneous Lorentzian manifolds $M = G/L$ of a connected reductive Lie group $G$ modulo a connected reductive subgroup $L$, under the assumption that $M$ is (almost) $G$-effective and the isotropy representation is totally…
Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean locally compact field, let $G$ be a split connected reductive group over $F$. For a parabolic subgroup $Q\subset G$ and a ring $L$ we consider the $G$-representation on the $L$-module$$(*)\quad\quad\quad\quad…
Relative dimensions of isotypic components of N-th order tensor representations of the symmetric group on n letters give a Plancherel-type measure on the space of Young diagrams with n cells and at most N rows. It was conjectured by G.…
Let $\mathbb{U}$ be a Banach Lie group and $S\subseteq \mathbb{U}$ an ad-bounded subset thereof, in the sense that there is a uniform bound on the adjoint operators induced by elements of $S$ on the Lie algebra of $\mathbb{U}$. We prove…
Let $G$ be a locally compact topological group, $G_0$ the connected component of its identity element, and comp(G) the union of all compact subgroups. A topological group will be called inductively monothetic if any subgroup generated (as a…
The Grothendieck-Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group $G$ over a regular semilocal ring $R$ is trivial. We establish this for unramified $R$ granted that $G^{\mathrm{ad}}$ is totally…
