Let $T$ be a perfect binary tree and $I$ be its edge ideal in the polynomial ring $S$. We determine the vertex cover number, independent number, and establish the recursive formula to compute the number of minimal vertex covers. As a…

We initiate the study of the $L^2$-Betti numbers of group-theoretic Dehn fillings. For a broad class of virtually special groups $G$, we prove that the $L^2$-Betti numbers of sufficiently deep Dehn fillings $\overline{G}$ are equal to those…

We consider a (possibly discrete) unimodular locally compact group $G$ with Haar measure $\mu_G$, and a compact $A\subseteq G$ of positive measure with $\mu_G(A^2)\leq K\mu_G(A)$. Let $H$ be a closed normal subgroup of G and $\pi: G…

Continuing our research on extensions of locally compact quantum groups, we give a classification of all cocycle matched pairs of Lie algebras in small dimensions and prove that all of them can be exponentiated to cocycle matched pairs of…

The $L^2$-cohomology of a locally symmetric variety is known to have the topological interpretation as the intersection homology of its Baily-Borel Satake compactification. In this article, we observe that even without the Hermitian…

The first Betti number for a lattice in a classifying space for variations of Hodge structures vanishes.

The Buchsbaum-Eisenbud-Horrocks Conjecture predicts that if M is a non-zero module of finite length and finite projective dimension over a local ring R of dimension d, then the i-th Betti number of M is at least d choose i. This conjecture…

We investigate an analogue of the L^2-Betti numbers for amenable linear subshifts. The role of the von Neumann dimension shall be played by the topological entropy.

We produce a formula for the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-Betti numbers of the moduli space $M_r^d$ of stable real Higgs bundles over a real projective curve, with coprime rank $r$ and degree $d$. Our approach relies on the motivic formula for the moduli…

We announce results about the structure and arithmeticity of all possible lattice embeddings of a class of countable groups which encompasses all linear groups with simple Zariski closure, all groups with non-vanishing first l2-Betti…

We compute the local coefficient attached to a pair $(\pi_1,\pi_2)$ of supercuspidal (complex) representations of the general linear group using the theory of types and covers \`{a} la Bushnell-Kutzko. In the process, we obtain another…

We establish three independent results on groups acting on trees. The first implies that a compactly generated locally compact group which acts continuously on a locally finite tree with nilpotent local action and no global fixed point is…

We prove that any II$_1$ factor $L^{\infty}(X)\rtimes\Gamma$ arising from a compact, free, ergodic, probability measure preserving action of a countable group $\Gamma$ with positive first $\ell^2$-Betti number, has a unique group measure…

We describe and analyze a numerical algorithm for computing the homology (Betti numbers and torsion coefficients) of semialgebraic sets given by Boolean formulas. The algorithm works in weak exponential time. This means that outside a…

We introduce a method to explicitly determine the Farrell-Tate cohomology of discrete groups. We apply this method to the Coxeter triangle and tetrahedral groups as well as to the Bianchi groups, i.e. PSL_2 over the ring of integers in an…

In these notes we compute the Plancherel measures associated with genuine principal series representations of n-fold covers of p-adic SL(2,F). Along the way we also compute a higher dimensional metaplectic analog of Shahidi local…

Let $T$ be a locally finite tree all of whose vertices have valency at least $6$. We classify, up to isomorphism, the closed subgroups of $\mathrm{Aut}(T)$ acting $2$-transitively on the set of ends of $T$ and whose local action at each…

We study $\ell^2$ Betti numbers, coherence, and virtual fibring of random groups in the few-relator model. In particular, random groups with negative Euler characteristic are coherent, have $\ell^2$ homology concentrated in dimension 1, and…

Main theorems of the article concern the problem of M. Atiyah on possible values of l^2-Betti numbers. It is shown that all non-negative real numbers are l^2-Betti numbers, and that "many" (for example all non-negative algebraic) real…

In this work the problem about an existence of non-measurable automorphisms of Lie groups finite and as well infinite dimensional over the field of real numbers and also over the non-archimedean local fields is investigated.…
