We show there exist representations of each maximal compact subgroup $K$ of the $p$-adic group $G=\mathrm{SL}(2,F)$, attached to each nilpotent coadjoint orbit, such that every irreducible representation of $G$, upon restriction to a…

An action of a group $G$ is highly transitive if $G$ acts transitively on $k$-tuples of distinct points for all $k \geq 1$. Many examples of groups with a rich geometric or dynamical action admit highly transitive actions. We prove that if…

The bidimensionality of a set of vertices $X$ in a graph $G$ is the maximum $k$ for which $G$ contains as a $X$-rooted minor the $(k \times k)$-grid. This notion allows for the following version of the Graph Minors Structure Theorem (GMST)…

Let k be a local field, and G a linear group over k. We prove that either G contains a relatively open solvable subgroup, or it contains a relatively dense free subgroup. This result has applications in dynamics, Riemannian foliations and…

Suppose that $\tilde{G}$ is a connected reductive group defined over a field $k$, and $\Gamma$ is a finite group acting via $k$-automorphisms of $\tilde{G}$ satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the connected part of the…

We give an algorithm to explicitly compute the largest subtree, in the local Bruhat-Tits tree for PSL_2(k), whose vertices correspond to orders containing a given suborder H, in terms of a set of generators for H. The shape of this subtree…

Extending a work of Carlen and Lieb, Biane has obtained the optimal hypercontractivity of the $q$-Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup on the $q$-deformation of the free group algebra. In this note, we look for an extension of this result to the…

Among compact Hausdorff groups G whose maximal profinite quotient is finitely generated, we characterize those that possess a proper dense normal subgroup. We also prove that the abstract commutator subgroup [H,G] is closed for every closed…

Given a finitely generated group $G$ that is relatively finitely presented with respect to a collection of peripheral subgroups, we prove that every infinite subgroup $H$ of $G$ that is bounded in the relative Cayley graph of $G$ is…

We show that over any field $k$, a smooth unipotent algebraic $k$-group is special if and only if it is $k$-split.

Let $(\mathbb{G},\mathbb{H})$ be a symmetric pair of reductive groups over a $p$-adic field with $p\neq 2$, attached to the involution $\theta$. Under the assumption that there exists a maximally $\theta$-split torus in $\mathbb{G}$, which…

We characterize the structure of maximum-size sum-free subsets of a random subset of an Abelian group $G$. In particular, we determine the threshold $p_c \approx \sqrt{\log n / n}$ above which, with high probability as $|G| \to \infty$,…

Let $\bf{ G}$ be a tamely ramified connected reductive group defined over a non-archimedean local field $k$. We show that the Bernstein center of a tame supercuspidal block of $\bf{ G}(k)$ is isomorphic to the Bernstein center of a depth…

Let $G$ be a simple classical algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic $p \ge 0$ with natural module $W$. Let $H$ be a closed subgroup of $G$ and let $V$ be a non-trivial irreducible tensor-indecomposable…

For a locally compact group G and a compact subgroup K, the corresponding Hecke algebra consists of all continuous compactly supported complex functions on G that are K-bi-invariant. There are many examples of totally disconnected locally…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated regular branch group acting by automorphisms on a regular rooted tree $T$. It is well-known that stabilizers of infinite rays in $T$ (aka parabolic subgroups) are weakly maximal subgroups in $G$, that is,…

A transitive graph is 2-dimensional if it can be represented as the intersection of two linear orders. Such representations make answering of reachability queries trivial, and allow many problems that are NP-hard on arbitrary graphs to be…

Let $R$ be a discrete valuation ring, and $K$ its fraction field. In 1967, Raynaud initiated the notion of maximal $R$-model for torsors over $K$, and it was further developed by Lewin-M\'en\'egaux. In this paper, motivated by a conjectural…

In this paper, we make progress on a question related to one of Galvin that has attracted substantial attention recently. The question is that of determining among all graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices and $\Delta(G)\leq r$, which has the most…

We provide a micro-local necessary condition for distinction of admissible representations of real reductive groups in the context of spherical pairs. Let $\bf G$ be a complex algebraic reductive group, and $\bf H\subset G$ be a spherical…
