We define a new family of discrete representations of relatively hyperbolic groups which unifies many existing definitions and examples of geometrically finite behavior in higher rank. The definition includes the relative Anosov…

We develop the Bernstein-Zelevinsky theory for quasi-split real classical groups and employ this framework to establish an Euler-Poincar\'e characteristic formula for general linear groups. The key to our approach is establishing the…

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…

The homology groups introduced by A. Brumer can be used to establish a criterion ensuring that a profinite $\mathbb{F}_p[[G]]$-module of a pro-$p$ group $G$ has projective dimension $d<\infty$ (cf. Thm. A). This criterion yields a new…

We provide a new condition for an absolutely almost simple algebraic group to have good reduction with respect to a discrete valuation of the base field which is formulated in terms of the existence of maximal tori with special properties.…

Bestvina and Mess [BM] proved a remarkable formula for torsion free hyperbolic groups $$ \dim_L\partial\Gamma=cd_L\Gamma-1 $$ connecting the cohomological dimension of a group $\Gamma$ with the cohomological dimension of its boundary…

We reformulate superalgebra and supergeometry in completely categorical terms by a consequent use of the functor of points. The increased abstraction of this approach is rewarded by a number of great advantages. First, we show that one can…

In this paper we discuss some connections between measurable dynamics and rigidity aspects of group representations and group actions. A new ergodic feature of familiar group boundaries is introduced, and is used to obtain rigidity results…

We show that an infinite residually finite boundedly generated group has an infinite chain of finite index subgroups with ranks uniformly bounded, and give (sublinear) upper bounds on the ranks of arbitrary finite index subgroups of…

We use an estimate of Aksoy Yazici, Murphy, Rudnev and Shkredov (2016) on the number of solutions of certain equations involving products and differences of sets in prime finite fields to give an explicit upper bound on trilinear…

We prove that Dranishnikov's $k$-dimensional resolution $d_k\colon \mu^k\to Q$ is a UV$^{n-1}$-divider of Chigogidze's $k$-dimensional resolution $c_k$. This fact implies that $d_k^{-1}$ preserves $Z$-sets. A further development of the…

We prove some general estimates for exponential sums over subsets of finite fields which are definable in the language of rings. This generalizes both the classical exponential sum estimates over varieties over finite fields due to Weil,…

This abstract presents (without proofs) some new results on commutativity degree of finite groups.

In 2005, the second author and Todorov introduced an upper bound on the finitistic dimension of an Artin algebra, now known as the {\phi}-dimension. The {\phi}-dimension conjecture states that this upper bound is always finite, a fact that…

Let $G$ be a finite group of Lie type defined in characteristic $p$, and let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $r>0$. We will assume that $r \neq p$ (so, we are in the non-defining characteristic case). Let $V$ be a…

We study the essential dimension of a finite group G over a field K. A generalization of the central extension theorem of Buhler and Reichstein (Compositio Math. 106 (1997) 159-179, Theorem 5.3) is obtained. We also get lower bounds of…

We introduce an infinite-dimensional affine group and construct its irreducible unitary representation. Our approach follows the one used by Vershik, Gelfand and Graev for the diffeomorphism group, but with modifications made necessary by…

A new scheme is proposed for dealing with the problem of singularities in General Relativity. The proposal is, however, much more general than this. It can be used to deal with manifolds of any dimension which are endowed with nothing more…

Higher dimensional central extensions of groups were introduced by G. Janelidze as particular instances of the abstract notion of covering morphism from categorical Galois theory. More recently, the notion has been extended to and studied…

In this paper we describe multigraded generalizations of some constructions useful for mathematical understanding of gauge theories: we perform a near-at-hand generalization of the Aleksandrov--Kontsevich--Schwarz--Zaboronsky procedure, we…
