Spectral approximation by polynomials on the unit ball is studied in the frame of the Sobolev spaces $W^{s}_p(\ball)$, $1<p<\infty$. The main results give sharp estimates on the order of approximation by polynomials in the Sobolev spaces…

The existence of a strong spectral gap for quotients $\Gamma\bs G$ of noncompact connected semisimple Lie groups is crucial in many applications. For congruence lattices there are uniform and very good bounds for the spectral gap coming…

We propose a general framework using spike-and-slab prior distributions to aid with the development of high-dimensional Bayesian inference. Our framework allows inference with a general quasi-likelihood function. We show that highly…

We generalize to the super context, the known fact that if an affine algebraic group $G$ over a commutative ring $k$ acts freely (in an appropriate sense) on an affine scheme $X$ over $k$, then the dur sheaf $X\tilde{\tilde{/}}G$ of…

We extend a result due to Bourgain on the uniform distribution of residues by proving that subsets of the type $f(I)\cdot H$ is equidistributed (as $p$ tends to infinity) where $f$ is a polynomial, $I$ is an interval of $\Fp$ and $H$ is an…

I discuss group averaging as a method for quantising constrained systems whose gauge group is a noncompact Lie group. Focussing on three case studies, I address the convergence of the averaging, possible indefiniteness of the prospective…

We give two algorithmic procedures to compute the whole set of almost symmetric numerical semigroups with fixed Frobenius number and type, and the whole set of almost symmetric numerical semigroups with fixed Frobenius number. Our…

We study the problem of approximating the cone of positive semidefinite (PSD) matrices with a cone that can be described by smaller-sized PSD constraints. Specifically, we ask the question: "how closely can we approximate the set of…

For the purposes of this paper supercongruences are congruences between terminating hypergeometric series and quotients of $p$-adic Gamma functions that are stronger than those one can expect to prove using commutative formal group laws. We…

Questions related to Brauer-Manin obstructions to the Hasse principle and weak approximation for homogeneous spaces of tori over a number field are well-studied, generally using arithmetic duality theorems, starting with works of Sansuc and…

Recently, sub-indices and sub-factors of groups with connections to number theory, additive combinatorics, and factorization of groups have been introduced and studied. Since all group subsets are considered in the theory and there are many…

We survey several notions of Mackey functors and biset functors found in the literature and prove some old and new theorems comparing them. While little here will surprise the experts, we draw a conceptual and unified picture by making…

Among all affine, flat, finitely presented group schemes, we focus on those that are pure, this includes all groups which are extensions of a finite locally free group by a group with connected fibres. We prove that over an arbitrary base…

We combine the fundamental results of Breuillard, Green, and Tao on the structure of approximate groups, together with "tame" arithmetic regularity methods based on work of the authors and Terry, to give a structure theorem for finite…

We prove an approximation lemma on (stratified) homogeneous groups that allows one to approximate a function in the non-isotropic Sobolev space $\dot{NL}^{1,Q}$ by $L^{\infty}$ functions, generalizing a result of Bourgain-Brezis…

Using the ideas of E.I. Gordon we present and farther advance an approach, based on nonstandard analysis, to simultaneous approximations of locally compact abelian groups and their duals by (hyper)finite abelian groups, as well as to…

The Weak approximation theorem describes the closure of $G(Q)$ inside $G(Q_p)$ as well as inside $G(R)$ for $G$ an algebraic group over $Q$; the closure is always an open normal subgroup with finite abelian quotient, and is well understood…

We advance the Cohn-Umans framework for developing fast matrix multiplication algorithms. We introduce, analyze, and search for a new subclass of strong uniquely solvable puzzles (SUSP), which we call simplifiable SUSPs. We show that these…

We prove that every finitely presented self-similar group embeds in a finitely presented simple group. This establishes that every group embedding in a finitely presented self-similar group satisfies the Boone-Higman conjecture. The simple…

We construct explicit easily implementable polynomial approximations of sufficiently high accuracy for locally constant functions on the union of disjoint segments. This problem has important applications in several areas of numerical…
