We relate Fuglede-Kadison determinants to entropy of algebraic actions of sofic groups in essentially complete generality. This generalizes recent results of Hanfeng Li and Andreas Thom from the amenable case to the sofic case, as well as…

For a countable amenable group \Gamma and an element f in the integral group ring Z\Gamma being invertible in the group von Neumann algebra of \Gamma, we show that the entropy of the shift action of \Gamma on the Pontryagin dual of the…

We show that for any amenable group \Gamma and any Z\Gamma-module M of type FL with vanishing Euler characteristic, the entropy of the natural \Gamma-action on the Pontryagin dual of M is equal to the L2-torsion of M. As a particular case,…

Let E/Q be an elliptic curve with a fixed modular parametrization F : X_0(N) --> E and let P_1,...,P_r be Heegner points on E attached to the rings of integers of distinct quadratic imaginary field k_1,...,k_r. We prove that if the odd…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. We examine the problem of determining when nonzero functions in $L^2(G)$ have linearly independent translations. In particular, we establish some results for the case when $G$ has an irreducible, square…

Ergodic theory includes several notions of entropy for probability-preserving actions of countable groups. These include Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy based on F\o lner sequences for amenable groups, entropy defined using a random ordering of…

The purpose of the present paper is to prove for finitely generated groups of type I the following conjecture of A.Fel'shtyn and R.Hill, which is a generalization of the classical Burnside theorem. Let G be a countable discrete group, f one…

A Coxeter group W is called reflection independent if its reflections are uniquely determined by W only, independently on the choice of the generating set. We give a new sufficient condition for the reflection independence, and examine this…

Let $V$ be a linear representation of a connected complex reductive group $G$. Given a choice of character $\theta$ of $G$, Geometric Invariant Theory defines a locus $V^{ss}_\theta(G) \subseteq V$ of semistable points. We give necessary,…

Using an analogy with the rank theorem in differential geometry, it is shown that for a finite $n$-tuple $X$ in a tracial von Neumann algebra and any finite $m$-tuple $F$ of $*$-polynomials in $n$ noncommuting indeterminates,…

An operator tuple $\mathbf{T}=(T_{1},\ldots,T_{n})$ is called strongly irreducible (SI), if the joint commutant of $\mathbf{T}$ does not any nontrivial idempotent operator. In this paper, we study the uniqueness of finitely strong…

In the absence of the Axiom of Choice, necessary and sufficient conditions for a locally compact Hausdorff space to have all non-empty second-countable compact Hausdorff spaces as remainders are given in $\mathbf{ZF}$. Among other…

We address the integrability conditions of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations for time-dependent SODE using the Spencer version of the Cartan-K\"ahler theorem. We consider a linear partial differential operator $P$ given by…

Let $q$ be a power of the prime number $p$, let $K={\mathbb F}_q(t)$, and let $r\ge 2$ be an integer. For points ${\mathbf a}, {\mathbf b}\in K$ which are $\mathbb{F}_q$-linearly independent, we show that there exist positive constants…

We consider the {\em Deligne-Simpson problem}: {\em Give necessary and sufficient conditions for the choice of the conjugacy classes $c_j\subset gl(n,{\bf C})$ or $C_j\subset GL(n,{\bf C})$, $j=1,..., p+1$, so that there exist irreducible…

We give a proof of the results of Chapuy and Douvropoulos [3] for irreducible spetsial reflection groups based on Deligne-Lusztig combinatorics. In particular, if f denotes the truncated Lusztig Fourier transform, we show that the image by…

If G is a finite group and k is a field, there is a natural construction of a Hopf algebra over k associated to G, the Drinfel'd double D(G). We prove that if G is any finite real reflection group with Drinfel'd double D(G) over an…

We investigate the connections between independence, sequence entropy, and mean sensitivity for a measure preserving system under the action of a countable infinite discrete group. We establish that every sequence entropy tuple for an…

For x,y in R (where R denotes the real numbers) and f in L^2(R), define (x,y)f(t) = e^{2 pi i yt}f(t+x) and if L is a subset of R^2, define S(f,L) = {(x,y)f | (x,y) in L}. It has been conjectured that if f is not 0, then S(f,L) is linearly…
