We first prove that every AF-algebra is weakly central, thereby resolving a question left open by Archbold--Gogi\'c. We then establish a new characterization of weak centrality for unital $C^*$-algebras in terms of $C(X)$-algebras. The…

We prove that if $G$ is a noncompact connected real reductive linear Lie group, then any discrete subgroup of $G$ acting properly discontinuously and cocompactly on some homogeneous space $G/H$ of $G$ is quasi-isometrically embedded and…

We study weak amenability of central Beurling algebras $ZL^1(G,\omega)$. The investigation is a natural extension of the known work on the commutative Beurling algebra $L^1(G,\omega)$. For [FC]$^-$ groups we establish a necessary condition…

Let $\mathcal W$ be a nontrivial variety of lattices, and let $L$ be a finite lattice in $\mathcal W$. The congruence density of $L$ with respect to $\mathcal W$ is the number of congruences of $L$ divided by the maximum number of…

We study the closed group of homeomorphisms of the boundary of real hyperbolic space generated by a cocompact Kleinian group $G_1$ and a quasiconformal conjugate $h^{-1}G_2 h$ of a cocompact group $G_2$. We show that if the conjugacy $h$ is…

We study the real spectrum compactification of character varieties of finitely generated groups in semisimple Lie groups. This provides a compactification with good topological properties, and we interpret the boundary points in terms of…

We study the critical exponents of discrete subgroups of a higher rank semi-simple real linear Lie group $G$. Let us fix a Cartan subspace $\mathfrak a\subset \mathfrak g$ of the Lie algebra of $G$. We show that if $\Gamma< G$ is a discrete…

In this paper, we establish a Minkowski-type inequality for weak Lebesgue space, which allows us to obtain a characterization of relative compactness in these spaces. Furthermore, we are the first to investigate the compactness results of…

We study the intermediate extension of the character sheaves on an adjoint group to the semi-stable locus of its wonderful compactification. We show that the intermediate extension can be described by a direct image construction. As a…

We establish vanishing results for limits of characters in various discrete groups, most notably irreducible lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups. As an application, we show that any sequence of finite-dimensional representations…

In this paper, we study the coarse kernel of a group action, namely the normal subgroup of elements that translate every point by a uniformly bounded amount. We give a complete algebraic characterization of this object. We specialize to…

Helgason showed that a given measure $f\in M(G)$ on a compact group $G$ should be in $L^2(G)$ automatically if all random Fourier series of $f$ are in $M(G)$. We explore a natural analogue of the theorem in the framework of compact quantum…
