Lattice studies of gauge theories with symplectic gauge groups provide valuable information about gauge dynamics, and complement the results of lattice investigations focused on unitary gauge groups. These theories play a central role in…
For any odd prime $p$, the Galois group of the maximal unramified pro-$p$-extension of an imaginary quadratic field is a Schur $\sigma$-group. But Schur $\sigma$-groups can also be constructed and studied abstractly. We prove that if $p>3$,…
The main result of this paper is that an entire function $f$ that is in $L^2(\mathbb C^n,\psi)$ with respect to the weight $\psi(z)=2mH_S(z)+\gamma\log(1+|z|^2)$ is a polynomial with exponents in $m\widehat S_\Gamma$. Here $H_S$ is the…
Let $M_n$ be a homology 3-sphere obtained by $\frac1n$-Dehn surgery along a $(p,q)$-torus knot. We consider a polynomial $\sigma_{(p,q,n)}(t)$ whose zeros are the inverses of the Reideimeister torsion of $M_n$ for…
This paper contains a purely topological theorem and a geometric application. The topological theorem states that if M is a simple closed orientable 3-manifold such that \pi_1(M) contains a genus g surface group and H_1(M;Z/2Z) has rank at…
We prove that if $\phi: {\Bbb R}^d \times {\Bbb R}^d \to {\Bbb R}$, $d \ge 2$, is a homogeneous function, smooth away from the origin and having non-zero Monge-Ampere determinant away from the origin, then $$ R^{-d} # \{(n,m) \in {\Bbb Z}^d…
We show that the natural conjugation invariant cone structure on the linear symplectic group $\mathrm{Sp}(2n)$ is globally hyperbolic in the positively elliptic region $\mathrm{Sp}_{\mathrm{ell}}^{+}(2n)$. This answers a question by…
In this paper, we show that there exists a positive density subsequence of orthonormal spherical harmonics which achieves the maximal Lp norm growth for 2<p<=6, therefore giving an example of a Riemannian surface supporting such subsequence…
We study the behavior of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev SU(2) invariants of links in L(p,q) as a function of the level r-2. They are given by 1 over the square root of r times one of p Laurent polynomials evaluated at e to the 2 pi i divided…
We prove the density hypothesis for congruence subgroups of an irreducible uniform lattice in $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})^d$, extending previous results on the spherical density hypothesis to bound multiplicities of non-tempered…
We demonstrate under appropriate finiteness conditions that a coarse embedding induces an inequality of homological Dehn functions. Applications of the main results include a characterization of what finitely presentable groups may admit a…
Let $P$ be a partially ordered set. We prove that if $n$ is sufficiently large, then there exists a packing $\mathcal{P}$ of copies of $P$ in the Boolean lattice $(2^{[n]},\subset)$ that covers almost every element of $2^{[n]}$:…
Consider a logharmonic polynomial; that is, a product of the form $p(z)\overline{q(z)}$, where $p$, $q$ are holomorphic polynomials. Assume $q$ is linear and denote by $n$ the degree of $p$. It was recently shown in arXiv:2302.04339…
The Ehrhart polynomial $ehr_P (n)$ of a lattice polytope $P$ gives the number of integer lattice points in the $n$-th dilate of $P$ for all integers $n\geq 0$. The degree of $P$ is defined as the degree of its $h^\ast$-polynomial, a…
For a fixed quadratic irreducible polynomial $f$ with no fixed prime factors at prime arguments, we prove that there exist infinitely many primes $p$ such that $f(p)$ has at most 4 prime factors, improving a classical result of Richert who…
Let A and B be arbitrary sets with at least two elements. The arity gap of a function f: A^n \to B is the minimum decrease in its essential arity when essential arguments of f are identified. In this paper we study the arity gap of…
We prove noncoherence of certain families of lattices in the isometry group of the hyperbolic n-space for n greater than 3. For instance, every nonuniform arithmetic lattice in SO(n,1) is noncoherent, provided that n is at least 6.
We prove an $\Omega$-result for the quadratic Dirichlet $L$-function $|L(1/2, \chi_P)|$ over irreducible polynomials $P$ associated with the hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ over a fixed finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ in the large genus limit.…
For every odd prime $p$, we exhibit families of irreducible Artin representations $\tau$ with the property that for every elliptic curve $E$ the order of the zero of the twisted $L$-function $L(E,\tau,s)$ at $s\!=\!1$ must be a…
We construct examples of finitely presented simple groups whose Dehn functions are at least exponential. To the best of our knowledge, these are the first such examples known. Our examples arise from R\"over-Nekrashevych groups, using…
