We construct and classify all polynomial growth solutions to certain drift-harmonic equations on complete manifolds with paraboloidal asymptotics. These encompass the natural drift-harmonic equations on certain steady gradient Ricci…

For an infinite penny graph, we study the finite-dimensional property for the space of harmonic functions, or ancient solutions of the heat equation, of polynomial growth. We prove the asymptotically sharp dimensional estimate for the above…

This note records some observations concerning geodesic growth functions. If a nilpotent group is not virtually cyclic then it has exponential geodesic growth with respect to all finite generating sets. On the other hand, if a finitely…

The solvable Farb growth of a group quantifies how well-approximated the group is by its finite solvable quotients. In this note we present a new characterization of polycyclic groups which are virtually nilpotent. That is, we show that a…

We show that an arbitrary nilprogression can be approximated by a proper coset nilprogression in upper-triangular form. This can be thought of as a nilpotent version of the Freiman-Bilu result that a generalised arithmetic progression can…

We characterize the virtually nilpotent finitely generated groups (or, equivalently by Gromov's theorem, groups of polynomial growth) for which the Domino Problem is decidable: These are the virtually free groups, i.e. finite groups, and…

We enhance the approximation capabilities of algebraic polynomials by composing them with homeomorphisms. This composition yields families of functions that remain dense in the space of continuous functions, while enabling more accurate…

For every natural number k we introduce the notion of k-th order convolution of functions on abelian groups. We study the group of convolution preserving automorphisms of function algebras in the limit. It turns out that such groups have…

Assume that $f$ is Dunkl polyharmonic in $\mathbb{R}^n$ (i.e. $(\Delta_h)^p f=0$ for some integer $p$, where $\Delta_h$ is the Dunkl Laplacian associated to a root system $R$ and to a multiplicity function $\kappa$, defined on $R$ and…

Let $N$ be a finitely generated nilpotent group. The subgroup zeta function $\zeta_N^{\leq}(s)$ and the normal zeta function $\zeta_N^\lhd(s)$ of $N$ are Dirichlet series enumerating the finite index subgroups or the finite index normal…

We show that the geodesic growth function of any finitely generated virtually abelian group is either polynomial or exponential; and that the geodesic growth series is holonomic, and rational in the polynomial growth case. In addition, we…

We study the growth of polynomials on semialgebraic sets. For this purpose we associate a graded algebra to the set, and address all kinds of questions about finite generation. We show that for a certain class of sets, the algebra is…
