The Majority is Stablest Theorem has numerous applications in hardness of approximation and social choice theory. We give a new proof of the Majority is Stablest Theorem by induction on the dimension of the discrete cube. Unlike the…

A quasi-representation of a group is a map from the group into a matrix algebra (or similar object) that approximately satisfies the relations needed to be a representation. Work of many people starting with Kazhdan and Voiculescu, and…

``What aspects of a group are unchanged, or stable, under homology equivalences''? The model theorem in this regard is the 1963 result of J. Stallings that the lower central series is preserved under any integral homological equivalence of…

We give a new proof of the universal property of $KK^G$-theory with respect to stability, homotopy invariance and split-exactness for $G$ a locally compact group, or a locally compact (not necessarily Hausdorff) groupoid, or a countable…

A classification theorem for nearly K\"ahler manifolds of constant antiholomorphic sectional curvature is proved.

A systematic study of the contributions at infinity for the cohomology of variations of polarized Hodge structures over quasicompact K\"ahler manifolds. Several isomorphisms between different cohomologies given.

We show that a $k$-stable set in a finite group can be approximated, up to given error $\epsilon>0$, by left cosets of a subgroup of index $\epsilon^{\text{-}O_k(1)}$. This improves the bound in a similar result of Terry and Wolf on stable…

In this paper, we first derive a quantitative quermassintegral inequality for nearly spherical sets in $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}$ and $\mathbb{S}^{n+1}$, which is a generalization of the quantitative Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality proved in…

We extend previous work on Hrushovski's stabilizer's theorem and prove a measure-theoretic version of a well-known result of Pillay-Scanlon-Wagner on products of three types. This generalizes results of Gowers on products of three sets and…

An introduction is provided to some current research trends in stability in geometric invariant theory and the problem of Kaehler metrics of constant scalar curvature. Besides classical notions such as Chow-Mumford stability, the emphasis…

Using the notion of existentially closed structures, we obtain embedding theorems for groups and Lie algebras. We also prove the existence of some groups and Lie algebras with prescribed properties.

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…

Let L contain only the equality symbol and let L^+ be an arbitrary finite symmetric relational language containing L . Suppose probabilities are defined on finite L^+ structures with ''edge probability'' n^{- alpha}. By T^alpha, the almost…

A result of Pyber states that every finite group $G$ contains an abelian subgroup whose order is quasi-polynomially large in $\lvert G\rvert$. We prove a similar result for $K$-approximate subgroups of solvable groups under only modest…

Spaces of quasi-invariant measures supplied with different topologies are studied. Their embeddings, projective decompositions, conditions for their metrizability are investigated. Theorems about convergence of nets of quasi-invariant…

We generalize the work of Roquette and Zassenhaus on the invariant part of the class groups to the relative class groups. Thereby, we can show some statistical results as follows. For abelian extensions over a fixed number field K, we show…

Previously the second author has constructed by cobordism methods, an invariant associated to a finite group $G$. This invariant approximates the number of subgroups of a group, giving in some cases the number of abelian and cyclic…

We give applications of equivariant Gromov--Hausdorff convergence in various contexts. Namely, using equivariant Gromov--Hausdorff convergence, we prove a stability result in the setting of compact finite dimensional Alexandrov spaces.…

We present a new fragment of axiomatic set theory for pure sets and for the iteration of power sets within given transitive sets. It turns out that this formal system admits an interesting hierarchy of models with true membership relation…

Our starting point is Mumford's conjecture, on representations of Chevalley groups over fields, as it is phrased in the preface of "Geometric Invariant Theory". After extending the conjecture appropriately, we show that it holds over an…
