If $\Gamma$ is any nonuniform lattice in the group ${\rm PU}(2,1)$, let $\overline{\Gamma}$ be the quotient of $\Gamma$ obtained by filling the cusps of $\Gamma$ (i.e. killing the center of parabolic subgroups). Assuming that such a lattice…

Let $\Gamma \subseteq \text{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ be a genus zero Fuchsian group of the first kind having $\infty$ as a cusp, and let $E_{2 k}^{\Gamma}$ be the holomorphic Eisenstein series associated with $\Gamma$ for the $\infty$ cusp that…

For a group $G,$ let $\Gamma(G)$ denote the graph defined on the elements of $G$ in such a way that two distinct vertices are connected by an edge if and only if they generate $G$. Moreover let $\Gamma^*(G)$ be the subgraph of $\Gamma(G)$…

This paper explores the tension between multiple models and rigidity for groupoid $C^*$-algebras. We begin by identifying $\Gamma$-Cartan subalgebras $D$ inside twisted groupoid $C^*$-algebras $C^*_r(G, \omega)$, using similar techniques to…

We consider graded Cartan matrices of the symmetric groups and the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of type A, which have entries in the ring $\mathbb Z[v,v^{-1}]$. These matrices may also be interpreted as Gram matrices of the Shapovalov form on…

We introduce a general framework for studying fields equipped with operators, given as co-ordinate functions of homomorphisms into a local algebra $\mathcal{D}$, satisfying various compatibility conditions that we denote by $\Gamma$ and…

We study the causality relation in the 3-dimensional anti-de Sitter space AdS and its conformal boundary Ein. To any closed achronal subset $\Lambda$ in ${Ein}\_2$ we associate the invisible domain $E(\Lambda)$ from $\Lambda$ in AdS. We…

Let G be a connected semisimple Lie group with at least one absolutely simple factor S such that R-rank(S) is at least 2, and let $\Gamma$ be a uniform lattice in G. (a) If $CH$ holds, then $\Gamma$ has a unique asymptotic cone up to…

Let $(X, \Gamma)$ be a free and minimal topological dynamical system, where $X$ is a separable compact Hausdorff space and $\Gamma$ is a countable infinite discrete amenable group. It is shown that if $(X, \Gamma)$ has the Uniform Rokhlin…

Let $\Pi$ be the fundamental group of a smooth variety X over $F_p$. Given a non-Archimedean place $\lambda$ of the field of algebraic numbers which is prime to p, consider the $\lambda$-adic pro-semisimple completion of $\Pi$ as an object…

A conjecture due to Y. Han asks whether that Hochschild homology groups of a finite dimensional algebra vanish for sufficiently large degrees would imply that the algebra is of finite global dimension. We investigate this conjecture from…

In this paper, we define and investigate the properties of continuous family groupoids. This class of groupoids is necessary for investigating the groupoid index theory arising from the equivariant Atiyah-Singer index theorem for families,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. An Azumaya coring consists of a couple $(S,\Cc)$, with $S$ a faithfully flat commutative $R$-algebra, and an $S$-coring $\Cc$ satisfying certain properties. If $S$ is faithfully projective, then the dual of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a connected $G$-vertex-transitive graph, let $v$ be a vertex of $\Gamma$ and let $L=G_v^{\Gamma(v)}$ be the permutation group induced by the action of the vertex-stabiliser $G_v$ on the neighbourhood $\Gamma(v)$. Then…

Let $M$ be pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous Einstein manifold of finite volume, and suppose a connected Lie group $G$ acts transitively and isometrically on $M$. In this situation, the metric on $M$ induces a bilinear form…

The main result of this paper is that all affine isometric actions of higher rank Steinberg groups over commutative rings on uniformly convex Banach spaces have a fixed point. We consider Steinberg groups over classical root systems and our…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of a simply connected, solvable Lie group~$G$, such that $\Ad_G\Gamma$ has the same Zariski closure as $\Ad G$. If $\alpha \colon \Gamma \to \GL_n(\real)$ is any finite-dimensional representation…

We show that there is an absolute constant $c>0$ such that every large connected $n$-vertex Cayley graph with degree $d\geq n^{1-c}$ has a Hamilton cycle. This makes progress towards the Lov\'asz conjecture and improves upon the previous…

We prove that the alternating group of a topologically free action of a countably infinite group $\Gamma$ on the Cantor set has the property that all of its $\ell^2$-Betti numbers vanish and, in the case that $\Gamma$ is amenable, is stable…

Andreotti-Vesentini, Ohsawa, Gromov, Koll\'ar, among others, have observed that Hodge theory could be extended to (non compact) K\"ahler complete manifolds, within the L^2 framework. Also, many vanishing theorems on projective or K\"ahler…
