This paper concerns the non-commutative analog of the Normal Subgroup Theorem for certain groups. Inspired by Kalantar-Panagopoulos, we show that all $\Gamma$-invariant subalgebras of $L\Gamma$ and $C^*_r(\Gamma)$ are ($\Gamma$-)…
Leibniz algebras are certain generalization of Lie algebras. In this paper we give classification of non-Lie solvable (left) Leibniz algebras of dimension $\leq 8$ with one dimensional derived subalgebra. We use the canonical forms for the…
In this article we give a simple, almost uniform proof that the lattice of noncrossing partitions associated with a well-generated complex reflection group is lexicographically shellable. So far a uniform proof is available only for Coxeter…
A. Reid showed that if $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ are arithmetic lattices in $G = \operatorname{PGL}_2(\mathbb R)$ or in $\operatorname{PGL}_2(\mathbb C)$ which give rise to isospectral manifolds, then $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ are…
Using computations in the bidual of $\mathbb{B}(L^2M)$ we develop a new technique at the von Neumann algebra level to upgrade relative proper proximality to full proper proximality. This is used to structurally classify subalgebras of…
It is shown that certain ascending HNN extensions of free abelian groups of finite rank, as well as various lamplighter groups, can be realized as automaton groups, i.e., can be given a self-similar structure. This includes the solvable…
The purpose of this note is describe and classify the splittable lattices in the completely solvable metabelian Lie group (semidirect product of abelian vector groups) $G:=\mathbb{R}^n\rtimes_\eta\mathbb{R}^m$, where $\eta$ is the…
Let G be any locally compact, unimodular, metrizable group. The main result of this paper, roughly stated, is that if F<G is any finitely generated free group and \Gamma < G any lattice, then up to a small perturbation and passing to a…
Linearly repetitive Delone sets are shown to be rectifiable by a bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms of the Euclidean space that sends the Delone set to the set of points with integer coordinates.
We consider three families of lattices on the oscillator group $G$, which is an almost nilpotent not completely solvable Lie group, giving rise to coverings $G \to M_{k, 0} \to M_{k, \pi} \to M_{k, \pi/2}$ for $k\in \Z$. We show that the…
For Lie groups $G$ of the form $G = \R^k \ltimes_{\phi} \R^m$, with $k + m$ even, a result of H. Kasuya shows that if the action $\phi:\R^k \to \mathrm{Aut}(\R^m)$ is semisimple then any symplectic solvmanifold $(\Gamma \backslash G,…
For $d \geq 4$ and $p$ a sufficiently large prime, we construct a lattice $\Gamma \leq {\rm PSp}_{2d}(\mathbb Q_p),$ such that its universal central extension cannot be sofic if $\Gamma$ satisfies some weak form of stability in…
We find the lower central series for residually nilpotent Baumslag-Solitar groups, and find the intersection of all terms of the lower central series. Also, we find non-abelian Bauslag-Solitar groups for which the lower central series has…
For a Baumslag-Solitar group $G$ we calculate the intersection $\gamma_w(G)$ of all terms of the lower central sequence of $G$.Using this we are able to show that $[\gamma_w(G),G]=\gamma_w(G)$ thus answering a question of Bardakov and…
We study lattice embeddings for the class of countable groups $\Gamma$ defined by the property that the largest amenable uniformly recurrent subgroup $A_\Gamma$ is continuous. When $A_\Gamma$ comes from an extremely proximal action and the…
We prove that cocompact arithmetic lattices in a simple Lie group are uniformly discrete if and only if the Salem numbers are uniformly bounded away from $1$. We also prove an analogous result for semisimple Lie groups. Finally, we shed…
Given an irreducible lattice $\Gamma$ in the product of higher rank simple Lie groups, we prove a co-finiteness result for the $\Gamma$-invariant von Neumann subalgebras of the group von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{L}(\Gamma)$, and for the…
We provide a summary of research on disjoint zero-sum subsets in finite Abelian groups, which is a branch of additive group theory and combinatorial number theory. An orthomorphism of a group $\Gamma$ is defined as a bijection $\varphi$…
We study a question of Greenberg-Shalom concerning arithmeticity of discrete subgroups of semisimple Lie groups with dense commensurators. We answer this question positively for normal subgroups of lattices. This generalizes a result of the…
Suppose $G$ is a connected complex Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup such that $X := G/\Gamma$ is K\"ahler and the codimension of the top non--vanishing homology group of $X$ with coefficients in $\mathbb Z_2$ is less than or…
