Twisted complex $K$-theory can be defined for a space $X$ equipped with a bundle of complex projective spaces, or, equivalently, with a bundle of C$^*$-algebras. Up to equivalence, the twisting corresponds to an element of $H^3(X;\Z)$. We…

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valuation field of characteristic $(0, p)$ with perfect residue field, and let $T$ be an integral $\mathbb{Z}_p$-representation of $\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{K}/K)$. A theorem of T. Liu says that if $T/p^n T$ is…

This paper introduces the notion of twisted toric manifolds which is a generalization of one of symplectic toric manifolds, and proves the weak Delzant type classification theorem for them. The computation methods for their fundamental…

Inspired by a remarkable work of F\'{e}lix, Halperin and Thomas on the asymptotic estimation of the ranks of rational homotopy groups, and more recent works of Wu and the authors on local hyperbolicity, we prove two asymptotic formulae for…

Let $G$ be a higher rank semisimple real Lie group or the product of at least two automorphism groups of regular trees. We prove all probability measure preserving actions of lattices in such groups have cost one, answering Gaboriau's fixed…

Given a group $G$ with bounded torsion that acts properly on a systolic complex, we show that every solvable subgroup of $G$ is finitely generated and virtually abelian of rank at most $2$. In particular this gives a new proof of the above…

Let $G$ be a group and $g$ a non-trivial element in $G$. If some non-empty finite product of conjugates of $g$ equals to the identity, then $g$ is called a generalized torsion element. The minimum number of conjugates in such a product is…

We prove twisted homological stability with polynomial coefficients for automorphism groups of free nilpotent groups of any given class. These groups interpolate between two extremes for which homological stability was known before, the…

For $c\geq 2$, the free centre-by-(nilpotent-of-class-c-1)-by abelian Lie ring on a set $X$ is the quotient $L/[(L')^c,L]$ where $L$ is the free Lie ring on $X$, and $(L')^c$ denotes the $c$th term of the lower central series of the derived…

We prove a Burgess-like subconvex bound for twisted L-functions of a fixed irreducible cuspidal automorphic representation of GL(2) over a totally real number field. The proof is based on a spectral decomposition of shifted convolution sums…

There are many notions of rank in multilinear algebra: tensor rank, partition rank, slice rank, and strength (or Schmidt rank) are a few examples. Typically the rank $\le r$ locus is not Zariski closed, and understanding the closure (the…

We study upper bounds for the torsion in homology of nonuniform arithmetic lattices. Together with recent results of Calegari-Venkatesh, this can be used to obtain upper bounds on K2 of the ring of integers of totally imaginary fields.

Let $C$ be a smooth, projective and geometrically connected curve defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q(C)$. Given a semisimple $C-S$-group scheme $\underline{G}$ where $S$ is a finite set of closed points of $C$, we describe the set of…

Let M be an oriented irreducible 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group and empty or toroidal boundary. Consider any element \phi in the first cohomology of M with integral coefficients. Then one can define the \phi-twisted L^2-torsion…

Let $f_1,...,f_d$ be an orthogonal basis for the space of cusp forms of even weight $2k$ on $\Gamma_0(N)$. Let $L(f_i,s)$ and $L(f_i,\chi,s)$ denote the $L$-function of $f_i$ and its twist by a Dirichlet character $\chi$, respectively. In…

We use relative trace formula to prove a non-vanishing result and a subconvexity result for the twisted base change $L$-functions associated to Hilbert modular forms whose local components at ramified places are some supercuspidal…

We show that an arithmetic lattice $\Gamma$ in a semi-simple Lie group $G$ contains a torsion-free subgroup of index $\delta(v)$ where $v = \mu (G/\Gamma)$ is the co-volume of the lattice. We prove that $\delta$ is polynomial in general and…

We show that the classical model of Euler top (freely rotating, generally asymmetric rigid body), possibly supplemented with a rotor, corresponds to a generalized Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick (LMG) model describing phenomena of various branches of…

Let L be a Lie group and Lambda a lattice in L. Suppose G is a non-compact simple Lie group realized as a Lie subgroup of L, and the image of G on L/Lambda is dense. Let c be a diagonalizable element of G not contained in a compact…

A nonzero 2-cocycle $\Gamma\in Z^2(\g,\R)$ on the Lie algebra $\g$ of a compact Lie group $G$ defines a twisted version of the Lie-Poisson structure on the dual Lie algebra $\g^*$, leading to a Poisson algebra $C^{\infty}(\g_{(\Gamma)}^*)$.…
