We prove a discretized sum-product theorem for representations of Lie groups whose Jordan-H\"older decomposition does not contain the trivial representation. This expansion result is used to derive a product theorem in perfect Lie groups.
We generalize Bourgain's discretized sum-product theorem to matrix algebras.
We propose a general conjecture on decompositions of finite simple groups as products of conjugates of an arbitrary subset. We prove this conjecture for bounded subsets of arbitrary finite simple groups, and for large subsets of groups of…
We establish the spectral gap property for dense subgroups generated by algebraic elements in any compact simple Lie group, generalizing earlier results of Bourgain and Gamburd for unitary groups.
We generalize Bourgain's theorem on the decay of the Fourier transform of the multiplicative convolution of measures on $\mathbb R$ to the ring $\mathbb R^n$, where the multiplication is given by coordinate multiplication.
We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of independent products on Lie groups, as a natural extension of Kolmogorov's three-series theorem. Application to independent random matrices is discussed.
We introduce a generalization of the product expansion of a finite semigroup. As an application, we provide an alternative proof of the decidability of pointlike sets for pseudovarieties consisting of semigroups whose subgroups all belong…
We report a simple rigidity theorem for certain Euler products.
We review some recent results on properties of tensor product and fusion coefficients under complex conjugation of one of the factors. Some of these results have been proven, some others are conjectures awaiting a proof, one of them…
We give a description of non-growing subsets in linear groups, which extends the Product theorem for simple groups of Lie type. We also give an account of various related aspects of growth in linear groups.
These notes arose from my Cambridge Part III course on Additive Combinatorics, given in Lent Term 2009. The aim was to understand the simplest proof of the Bourgain-Glibichuk-Konyagin bounds for exponential sums over subgroups. As a…
We prove a connectedness result for products of weighted projective spaces.
We generalize the results of Skorobogatov and Zarhin considering the commutativity of Brauer groups (and Brauer-Manin sets) with taking product of two varieties, by relaxing the condition that varieties are projective.
The notion of conditional coproduct of a family of abelian pro-Lie groups in the category of abelian pro-Lie groups is introduced. It is shown that the cartesian product of an arbitrary family of abelian pro-Lie groups can be characterized…
We characterize the situations in which certain accumulation properties of topological spaces are preserved under taking products.
In this paper we combine methods from additive combinatorics and Diophantine geometry to study the generalised sum-product phenomenon in algebraic groups. As an application of this circle of ideas, we resolve a conjecture of Bremner on…
We prove that if $G$ is a finite simple group of Lie type and $S$ a subset of $G$ of size at least two then $G$ is a product of at most $c\log|G|/\log|S|$ conjugates of $S$, where $c$ depends only on the Lie rank of $G$. This confirms a…
We give a simple, short and self-contained presentation of Bourgain's discretised projection theorem from 2010, which is a fundamental tool in many recent breakthroughs in geometric measure theory, harmonic analysis, and homogeneous…
A discrete version of Lagrangian reduction is developed in the context of discrete time Lagrangian systems on $G\times G$, where $G$ is a Lie group. We consider the case when the Lagrange function is invariant with respect to the action of…
Two results on product of compact filters are shown to be the common principle behind a surprisingly large number of theorems.
