We obtain nontrivial exponents for Erd\H os-Falconer type problems. Let $T_k(E)$ denote the set of distinct congruent $k$-dimensional simplexes determined by $(k+1)$-tuples of points from $E$. We prove that there exists $s_0(d)<d$ such…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements. For $E \subset \mathbb{F}_q^d$, denote the distance set $\Delta(E)= \{\|x-y\|^2:=(x_1-y_1)^2+ \cdots + (x_d-y_d)^2 : (x,y)\in E^2 \}$. The Erdos quotient set problem was introduced…

In this paper we study the following multi-parameter variant of the celebrated Falconer distance problem. Given ${\textbf{d}}=(d_1,d_2, \dots, d_{\ell})\in \mathbb{N}^{\ell}$ with $d_1+d_2+\dots+d_{\ell}=d$ and $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$,…

In 2017, by using the group theoretic approach, Bennett, Hart, Iosevich, Pakianathan, and Rudnev obtained a number of results on the distribution of simplices and sum-product type problems. The main purpose of this paper is to give a series…

We analyse the proof of the main result of a paper by Cuadra, Etingof and Walton, which says that any action of a semisimple Hopf algebra $H$ on the $n$th Weyl algebra $A=A_n(K)$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $0$ factors through a…

In recent years, sum-product estimates in Euclidean space and finite fields have been studied using a variety of combinatorial, number theoretic and analytic methods. Erdos type problems involving the distribution of distances, areas and…

We prove that any ergodic nonatomic probability-preserving action of an irreducible lattice in a semisimple group, at least one factor being connected and higher-rank, is essentially free. This generalizes the result of Stuck and Zimmer…

We give a length one projective resolution of the trivial module for the groupoid of a semi-saturated partial action (in the sense of Exel) of a free group on a compact Hausdorff and totally disconnected space. As a consequence we obtain an…

This paper generalizes the basic notions of additive and multiplicative combinatorics to the setting of group actions: if $G$ is a group acting on a set $X$, and we have subsets $A\subseteq G$ and $Y\subseteq X$ such that the set of pairs…

Consider a simple algebraic group $G$ of classical type and its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. Let $(e,h,f) \subset \mathfrak{g}$ be an $\mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple and $Q_e= C_G(e,h,f)$. The torus $T_e$ that comes from the…

We give an infinitesimal criterion, in the analytic setting, for a vector space to be locally homogeneous under some group action. Our approach differs from those which resort to an inverse function theorem (e.g. those of Moser, Zehnder or…

These introductory notes are about functional renormalization group equations and some of their applications. It is emphasised that the applicability of this method extends well beyond critical systems, it actually provides us a general…

We extend some results about sampling of entire functions of exponential type to Banach spaces. By using generator $D$ of one-parameter group $e^{tD}$ of isometries of a Banach space $E$ we introduce Bernstein subspaces…

In this partly expository monograph we develop a general framework for producing uncountable families of exotic actions of certain classically studied groups acting on the circle. We show that if $L$ is a nontrivial limit group then the…

We establish a group-action version of the Szemer\'edi-Trotter theorem over any field, extending Bourgain's result for the group $\mathrm{SL}_2(k)$. As an Elekes-Szab\'o-type application, we obtain quantitative bounds on the number of…

We prove a pointwise ergodic theorem and a maximal inequality for actions of amenable groups on noncommutative measure spaces. To do so, we establish a square function estimate quantifying the difference between ergodic averages and some…

The standard actions of finite groups on spheres S^d are linear actions, i.e. by finite subgroups of the orthogonal group O(d+1). We prove that, in each dimension d>5, there is a finite group G which admits a faithful, topological action on…

To study outer actions $\a$ of a group $G$ on a factor $\sM$ of type {\threel}, $0<\la<1$, we study first the cohomology group of a group with the unitary group of an abelian {\vna} as a coefficient group and establish a technique to reduce…

We introduce a new approach to representation theory of finite groups that uses some basic algebraic geometry and allows to do all the theory without using characters. With this approach, to any finite group $G$ we associate a finite number…

We consider when finite families $F \subseteq \mathbb{C}[t]$ of bounded degree polynomials, or more generally of bounded complexity finite-to-finite correspondences on $\mathbb{C}$, can exhibit non-expansion of the form $|F(A)| =…
