An invariant random subgroup of the countable group {\Gamma} is a random subgroup of {\Gamma} whose distribution is invariant under conjugation by all elements of {\Gamma}. We prove that for a nonamenable invariant random subgroup H, the…

We introduce and study the notion of reduced spectral synthesis, which unifies the concepts of spectral synthesis and uniqueness in locally compact groups. We exhibit a number of examples and prove that every non-discrete locally compact…

We prove that there exists a positive, explicit function $F(k, E)$ such that, for any group $G$ admitting a $k$-acylindrical splitting and any generating set $S$ of $G$ with $\mathrm{Ent}(G,S)<E$, we have $|S| \leq F(k, E)$. We deduce…

We introduce and study procedures and constructions in the theory of the joint spectral radius that are related to the spectral theory. In particular we devlop the theory of the scattered radical. Among applications we find some sufficient…

We prove that there exist $k\in N$ and $0<\epsilon\in R$ such that every non-abelian finite simple group $G$, which is not a Suzuki group, has a set of $k$ generators for which the Cayley graph $\Cay(G; S)$ is an $\epsilon$-expander.

We develop the scattering theory of general conformally compact metrics. For low frequencies, the domain of the scattering matrix is shown to be frequency dependent. In particular, generalized eigenfunctions exhibit L^2 decay in directions…

We compute the divergence of the finitely generated group SLn(O_S), where S is a finite set of valuations of a function field, and O_S is the corresponding ring of S-integer points. As an application, we deduce that all its asymptotic cones…

We explore transversals of finite index subgroups of finitely generated groups. We show that when $H$ is a subgroup of a rank $n$ group $G$ and $H$ has index at least $n$ in $G$ then we can construct a left transversal for $H$ which…

There are certain countably generated sigma-algebras of sets in the real line which do not admit any non-zero, sigma-finite, diffused (or, continuous) measure. Such countably generated sigma-algebras can be obtained by the use of some…

We consider a positive and power-bounded linear operator $T$ on $L^p$ over a finite measure space and prove that, if $TL^p \subseteq L^q$ for some $q > p$, then the essential spectral radius of $T$ is strictly smaller than $1$. As a special…

It is shown that there exists a finitely generated infinite simple group of infinite commutator width, and that the commutator width of a finitely generated infinite boundedly simple group can be arbitrarily large. Besides, such groups can…

It is well-known that characters classify linear representations of finite groups, that is if characters of two representations of a finite group are the same, these representations are equivalent. It is also well-known that, in general,…

An infinite set is orbit-finite if, up to permutations of the underlying structure of atoms, it has only finitely many elements. We study a generalisation of linear programming where constraints are expressed by an orbit-finite system of…

Fix $\varepsilon > 0$. We say that a finite group $G$ is $\varepsilon$-quasirandom if every nontrivial irreducible complex representation of $G$ has degree at least $|G|^\varepsilon$. In this paper, we give a structure theorem for large…

We prove that any finitely generated elementary amenable group of zero (algebraic) entropy contains a nilpotent subgroup of finite index or, equivalently, any finitely generated elementary amenable group of exponential growth is of…

Let $\Gamma$ be an arbitrary $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic metric graph, which does not coincide with a line. We consider the Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}_\varepsilon$ on $\Gamma$ with the action $-\varepsilon^{-1}{\mathrm{d}^2/\mathrm{d} x^2}$ on…

Random Wavelet Series form a class of random processes with multifractal properties. We give three applications of this construction. First, we synthesize a random function having any given spectrum of singularities satisfying some…

The existence of an infinite simple boundedly generated 2-generated group and the existence of a boundedly simple 2-generated group containing a free non-cyclic subgroup are proved.

We provide a new upper bound for the length for the shortest non-trivial element in the lower central series $\gamma_n(\mathbb{F}_2)$ of the free group on two generators. We prove that it has an asymptotic behaviour of the form…

This paper presents sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian paths and cycles in graphs. Letting $\lambda\left( G\right) $ denote the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix of a graph $G,$ the main results of the paper are: (1) Let $k\geq1,$…
