Standard results from non-abelian cohomology theory specialize to a theory of torsors and stacks for cosimplicial groupoids. The space of global sections of the stack completion of a cosimplicial groupoid $G$ is weakly equivalent to the…

We show that every finitely generated extension by $\mathbb{Z}$ of a locally normally finite group has Shalom's property $H_{\mathrm{FD}}$. This is no longer true without the normality assumption. This permits to answer some questions of…

Let $E$ be a number field and $X$ a smooth geometrically connected variety defined over a characteristic $p$ finite field. Given an $n$-dimensional pure $E$-compatible system of semisimple $\lambda$-adic representations of the \'etale…

We show that for quasi-compact quasi-separated schemes of finite dimension, the constructibility condition in real \'etale cohomology agrees with a notion of constructibility arising naturally from topology. As application we prove that the…

Let $\Sigma$ be a compact orientable surface of finite type with at least one boundary component. Let $\Gamma \leq \textup{Mod}(\Sigma)$ be a non virtually solvable subgroup. We answer a question of Lubotzky by showing that there exists a…

We extend results of Y. Benoist and J.-F. Quint concerning random walks on homogeneous spaces of simple Lie groups to the case where the measure defining the random walk generates a semigroup which is not necessarily Zariski dense, but…

Given a finite group G and a G-space X, we show that a direct sum $F_G (X) = \bigoplus_{n \geq 0}K_{G_n} (X^n) \bigotimes \C$ admits a natural graded Hopf algebra and $\lambda$-ring structure, where $G_n$ denotes the wreath product $G \sim…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a $d$-regular graph on $n$ vertices and let $\mu_0$ be a probability measure on $V$. The act of moving to a randomly chosen neighbor leads to a sequence of probability measures supported on $V$ given by $\mu_{k+1} = A…

Let X be an arbitrary hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let G be a countable non-elementary weakly acylindrical group of isometries of X. We show that the second bounded cohomology group of G with real coefficients or with coefficients…

Let G be a reductive linear algebraic group over a field k. Let A be a finitely generated commutative k-algebra on which G acts rationally by k-algebra automorphisms. Invariant theory tells that the ring of invariants A^G=H^0(G,A) is…

Let $F$ be a non-archimedean locally compact field of residue characteristic $p\neq2$, let $G=\mathrm{GL}_{n}(F)$ and let $H$ be an orthogonal subgroup of $G$. For $\pi$ a complex smooth supercuspidal representation of $G$, we give a full…

A result of D. Segal states that every complex irreducible representation of a finitely generated nilpotent group $G$ is monomial if and only if $G$ is abelian-by-finite. A conjecture of A. N. Parshin, recently proved affirmatively by I.V.…

For any unitary representation $(\pi,\mathcal{H})$ of $G=SL(n,\RR)$, $n\geq 3$ without non-trivial $G$-invariant vectors, we study smooth solutions of the cohomological equation $\mathfrak{u}f=g$ where $\mathfrak{u}$ is a vector in the root…

We prove that if $G$ is a countable, discrete group having infinite, normal subgroups with the relative property (T), then the Bernoulli shift action of $G$ on ${\underset g \in G \to \Pi} (X_0, \mu_0)_g$ for $(X_{0},\mu_{0})$ an arbitrary…

Consider a one dimensional simple random walk $X=(X_n)_{n\geq0}$. We form a new simple symmetric random walk $Y=(Y_n)_{n\geq0}$ by taking sums of products of the increments of $X$ and study the two-dimensional walk…

The connection between maximal sets of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in a prime-power dimensional Hilbert space and finite phase-space geometries is well known. In this article we classify MUBs according to their degree of covariance with…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ denote a higher rank $\mathbb R$-split simple Lie group of the following type: $SL(n,\mathbb R)$, $SO_o(m,m)$, $E_{6(6)}$, $E_{7(7)}$ and $E_{8(8)}$, where $m\geq 4$ and $n \geq 3$. We study the cohomological equation for…

For finite groups $G$, we show that bosonic-fermionic coinvariant rings have a natural $U(\mathfrak{gl}(k|j)) \otimes \mathbb{C}[G]$-module structure. In particular, we show that their character series are a sum of super Schur functions…

We study random walks on $\mathrm{GL}_d(\mathbb{R})$ whose proximal dimension $r$ is larger than $1$ and whose limit set in the Grassmannian $\mathrm{Gr}_{r,d}(\mathbb{R})$ is not contained any Schubert variety. These random walks, without…

We study whether the probability distribution of a discrete quantum walk can get arbitrarily close to uniform, given that the walk starts with a uniform superposition of the outgoing arcs of some vertex. We establish a characterization of…
