We prove the density hypothesis for congruence subgroups of an irreducible uniform lattice in $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{R})^d$, extending previous results on the spherical density hypothesis to bound multiplicities of non-tempered…

We derive explicit isomorphisms between certain congruence subgroups of the Siegel modular group, the Hermitian modular group over an arbitrary imaginary-quadratic number field and the modular group over the Hurwitz quaternions of degree 2…

Take $S \subset \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}) \times \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\times \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ be finite symmetric and assume $S$ generates a group $G$ which is Zariski-dense in $\mathrm{SL}_2 \times \mathrm{SL}_2\times…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group. We show that $\Gamma$ has the approximation property if and only if $\Gamma$ is exact and for any operator space $S \subseteq \K(H)$ we have $\Cu(\Gamma)^{\Gamma} \otimes S = (\Cu(\Gamma) \otimes…

The main results in this thesis deal with the representation growth of certain classes of groups. In chapter $1$ we present the required preliminary theory. In chapter $2$ we introduce the Congruence Subgroup Problem for an algebraic group…

Let $X=S\times E \times B$ be the metric product of a symmetric space $S$ of noncompact type, a Euclidean space $E$ and a product $B$ of Euclidean buildings. Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group acting isometrically and cocompactly on $X$. We…

While lattices in semi-simple Lie groups are studied very well, only little is known about discrete subgroups of infinite covolume. The main class of examples are Schottky groups. Here we investigate some new examples. We consider subgroups…

We prove that if a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ is {\it w-rigid}, i.e. it contains an infinite normal subgroup $H$ with the relative property (T) (e.g. $\Gamma= SL(2,\Bbb Z) \ltimes \Bbb Z^2$, or $\Gamma = H \times H'$ with $H$ an…

The semigroup $\mathbf{I}\mathbb{N}_{\infty}$ of all partial co-finite isometries of positive integers is studied. We describe Green's relations on the semigroup $\mathbf{I}\mathbb{N}_{\infty}$, its band and proved that…

Let $H_{\mathbf{k}}$ be a symplectic reflection algebra corresponding to a cyclic subgroup $\Gamma \subseteq SL_2 \C$ of order $n$ and $U_{\mathbf{k}} = eH_{\mathbf{k}} e$ the spherical subalgebra of $H_{\mathbf{k}}$. We show that for…

We algorithmically compute integral Eilenberg-MacLane homology of all semigroups of order at most $8$ and present some particular semigroups with notable classifying spaces, refuting conjectures of Nico. Along the way, we give an…

Let $\Gamma_2\subseteq \Gamma_1$ be finitely generated subgroups of ${\rm GL}_{n_0}(\mathbb{Z}[1/q_0])$. For $i=1$ or $2$, let $\mathbb{G}_i$ be the Zariski-closure of $\Gamma_i$ in $({\rm GL}_{n_0})_{\mathbb{Q}}$, $\mathbb{G}_i^{\circ}$ be…

Let $\Lambda = \mathrm{SL}_2(\Bbb Z)$ be the modular group and let $c_n(\Lambda)$ be the number of congruence subgroups of $\Lambda$ of index at most $n$. We prove that $\lim\limits_{n\to \infty} \frac{\log c_n(\Lambda)}{(\log n)^2/\log\log…

The notion of formal Siegel modular forms for an arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ of the symplectic group of genus $n$ is a generalization of symmetric formal Fourier-Jacobi series. Assuming an upper bound on the affine covering number of the…

We establish an error estimate for counting lattice points in Euclidean norm balls (associated to an arbitrary irreducible linear representation) for lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank at least two. Our approach utilizes refined…

We prove formulas for power moments for point counts of elliptic curves over a finite field $k$ such that the groups of $k$-points of the curves contain a chosen subgroup. These formulas express the moments in terms of traces of Hecke…

Let $\Gamma=(X,\mathcal{R})$ denote a finite, simple, connected, and undirected non-bipartite graph with vertex set $X$ and edge set $\mathcal{R}$. Fix a vertex $x \in X$, and define $\mathcal{R}_f = \mathcal{R} \setminus \{yz \mid…

Explicit construction of the second order left differential calculi on the quantum group and its subgroups are obtained with the property of the natural reduction: the differential calculus on the quantum group $GL_q(2,C)$ has to contain…

We study the distribution of orbits of a lattice $\Gamma\leq\text{SL}(3,\mathbb R)$ in the moduli space $X_{2,3}$ of covolume one rank-two discrete subgroups in $\mathbb R^3$. Each orbit is dense, and our main result is the limiting…

We extend the computations in [AGM4] to find the mod 2 homology in degree 1 of a congruence subgroup Gamma of SL(4,Z) with coefficients in the sharbly complex, along with the action of the Hecke algebra. This homology group is closely…
