Alexopoulos proved that on a finitely generated virtually nilpotent group, the restriction of a harmonic function of polynomial growth to a torsion-free nilpotent subgroup of finite index is always a polynomial in the Mal'cev coordinates of…
Let $(X,d)$ be an $n$-dimensional Alexandrov space whose Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^n$ satisfies a condition giving the metric measure space $(X,d,\mathcal{H}^n)$ a notion of having nonnegative Ricci curvature. We examine the influence…
Under mild topological restrictions, we obtain new linear upper bounds for the dimension of the mod $p$ homology (for any prime $p$) of a finite-volume orientable hyperbolic $3$ manifold $M$ in terms of its volume. A surprising feature of…
We investigate the spectrum of 2-dimensional canonical systems in the limit circle case. It is discrete and, by the Krein-de Branges formula, cannot be more dense than the integers. But in many cases it will be more sparse. The spectrum of…
A space $X$ is said to be "cellular-Lindel\"of" if for every cellular family $\mathcal{U}$ there is a Lindel\"of subspace $L$ of $X$ which meets every element of $\mathcal{U}$. Cellular-Lindel\"of spaces generalize both Lindel\"of spaces…
Let $\sum (X)$ be the collection of subalgebras of $C(X)$ containing $C^{*}(X)$, where $X$ is a Tychonoff space. For any $A(X)\in \sum(X)$ there is associated a subset $\upsilon_{A}(X)$ of $\beta X$ which is an $A$-analogue of the Hewitt…
We test the isotropy of the expansion of the Universe by estimating the hemispherical anisotropy of supernova type Ia (SN Ia) Hubble diagrams at low redshifts (z<0.2). We compare the best fit Hubble diagrams in pairs of hemispheres and…
Consider the configuration spaces of manifolds. An influential theorem of McDuff, Segal and Church shows that the (co)homology of the unordered configuration space is independent of number of points in a range of degree called the stable…
In the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group equipped with its Carnot-Caratheodory metric and with a Haar measure, we consider isodiametric sets, i.e. sets maximizing the measure among all sets with a given diameter. In particular, given an…
The topic of the paper is the mathematical analysis of a radially decelerated Hubble expansion from the Bahcall & Soneira void center. Such analysis, in the hypothesis of local homogeneity and isotropy, gives a particular Hubble ratio…
Let $(M,\omega)$ be a symplectic manifold and $U\subseteq M$ an open subset. We study the natural inclusion of the compactly supported Hamiltonian group of $U$ in the compactly supported Hamiltonian group of $M$. The main result is an upper…
In many cases a nonlinear scalar field with potential $V$ can lead to accelerated expansion in cosmological models. This paper contains mathematical results on this subject for homogeneous spacetimes. It is shown that, under the assumption…
Gromov and Piatetski-Shapiro proved existence of finite volume non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds of any given dimension. In dimension four and higher, we show that there are about v^v such manifolds of volume at most v, considered up to…
We prove that for every $n\geq 3$ the sharp upper bound for the dimension of the symmetry groups of homogeneous, 2-nondegenerate, $(2n+1)$-dimensional CR manifolds of hypersurface type with a $1$-dimensional Levi kernel is equal to $n^2+7$,…
We prove limit theorems for the greatest common divisor and the least common multiple of random integers. While the case of integers uniformly distributed on a hypercube with growing size is classical, we look at the uniform distribution on…
Given a finitely generated semigroup S of the (normed) set of linear maps of a vector space V into itself, we find sufficient conditions for the exponential growth of the number N(k) of elements of the semigroup contained in the sphere of…
We study the countable set of rates of growth of a hyperbolic group with respect to all its finite generating sets. We prove that the set is well-ordered, and that every real number can be the rate of growth of at most finitely many…
A space $X$ is said to be $\kappa$-resolvable (resp. almost $\kappa$-resolvable) if it contains $\kappa$ dense sets that are pairwise disjoint (resp. almost disjoint over the ideal of nowhere dense subsets). $X$ is maximally resolvable iff…
In [Bre19], Simon Brendle showed that any compact manifold of dimension $n\geq12$ with positive isotropic curvature and contains no nontrivial incompressible $(n-1)-$dimensional space form is diffeomorphic to a connected sum of finitely…
A maniplex of rank n s an n-valent properly edge-coloured graph that generalises, simultaneously, maps on surfaces and abstract polytopes. The problem of stability in maniplexes is a natural variant of the problem of stability in graphs. A…
