We prove a Simons-type holonomy theorem for totally skew 1-forms with values in a Lie algebra of linear isometries. The only transitive case, for this theorem, is the full orthogonal group. We only use geometric methods and we do not use…
We consider time-harmonic acoustic scattering by a compact sound-soft obstacle $\Gamma\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ ($n\geq 2$) that has connected complement $\Omega := \mathbb{R}^n\setminus \Gamma$. This scattering problem is modelled by the…
We announce new results concerning the asymptotic behavior of the Betti numbers of higher rank locally symmetric spaces as their volumes tend to infinity. Our main theorem is a uniform version of the L\"uck Approximation Theorem…
Since non-compact RCD(0, N) spaces have at least linear volume growth, we study noncompact RCD(0, N) spaces with linear volume growth in this paper. One of the main results is that the diameter of level sets of a Busemann function grow at…
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…
We show that an approximate lattice in a nilpotent Lie group admits a relatively dense subset of central $(1-\epsilon)$-Bragg peaks for every $\epsilon > 0$. For the Heisenberg group we deduce that the union of horizontal and vertical…
This paper consists of two related parts. In the first part we give a self-contained proof of homological stability for the spaces C_n(M;X) of configurations of n unordered points in a connected open manifold M with labels in a…
We consider harmonic functions of polynomial growth of some order $d$ on Cayley graphs of groups of polynomial volume growth of order $D$ w.r.t. the word metric and prove the optimal estimate for the dimension of the space of such harmonic…
We study necessary conditions for local maximizers of the isotropic constant that are related to notions of decomposability. Our main result asserts that the polar body of a local maximizer of the isotropic constant can only have few…
By classical Fatou type theorems in various setups, it is well-known that positive harmonic functions have non-tangential limit at almost every point on the boundary. In this paper, in the setting of non-positively curved Harmonic manifolds…
We study in this paper three natural notions of convergence of homogeneous manifolds, namely infinitesimal, local and pointed, and their relationship with a fourth one, which only takes into account the underlying algebraic structure of the…
Let $m_n(G)$ denote the number of maximal subgroups of $G$ of index $n$. An upper bound is given for the degree of maximal subgroup growth of all polycyclic metabelian groups $G$ (i.e., for $\limsup \frac{\log m_n(G)}{\log n}$, the degree…
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…
For three dimensional complete, non-compact Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature and uniformly positive scalar curvature, we obtain the sharp linear volume growth ratio and the corresponding rigidity.
Let $A_1$ and $A_2$ be randomly chosen subsets of the first $n$ integers of cardinalities $s_2\geq s_1 = \Omega(s_2)$, such that their sumset $A_1+A_2$ has size $m$. We show that asymptotically almost surely $A_1$ and $A_2$ are almost fully…
Let $M$ be complete nonpositively curved Riemannian manifold of finite volume whose fundamental group $\Gamma$ does not contain a finite index subgroup which is a product of infinite groups. We show that the universal cover $\tilde M$ is a…
We develop a probabilistic framework for large-scale dimension bounds in metric geometry, based on padded decompositions, randomized ball carving on net graphs, and the Lov\'asz Local Lemma. For metric measure spaces with volume doubling…
For a compact Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ acted isometrically on by a compact Lie group $G$ with cohomogeneity ${\rm Cohom}(G)\geq 2$, we show the Weyl asymptotic law for the $G$-equivariant volume spectrum. As an application, we show in…
Let $M$ be a Riemannian manifold with dimension greater or equal to $3$ which admits a complete, finite-volume Riemannian metric $g_0$ locally isometric to a rank-1 symmetric space of non-compact type. The volume entropy rigidity theorem…
We show that for every finite-volume hyperbolic $3$-manifold $M$ and every prime $p$ we have $\text{dim}\ H_1(M;\mathbf{F}_p)< 168.602\cdot\text{vol}\ M$. There are slightly stronger estimates if $p = 2$ or if $M$ is non-compact. This…
