We give combinatorial models for complex, smooth, non-spherical, generic, irreducible representations of the group G=PGL(2,F), where F is a non-archimedean locally compact field. They use the graphs X_k lying above the tree of G, introduced…

Consider a Hilbert space obtained as the completion of the polynomials C[z} in m-variables for which the mnonomials are orthogonal. If the commuting weighted shifts defined by the coordinate functions are essentially normal, then the same…

For all sufficiently large odd integers $n$, the following version of Higman's embedding theorem is proved in the variety ${\cal B}_n$ of all groups satisfying the identity $x^n=1$. A finitely generated group $G$ from ${\cal B}_n$ has a…

Let ${\mathbb{F}_{q}}$ be the finite field of order $q$. Let $G$ be one of the three groups ${\rm GL}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$, ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ or ${\rm U}(n, \mathbb{F}_q)$ and let $W$ be the standard $n$-dimensional representation of…

Any simple pseudofinite group G is known to be isomorphic to a (twisted) Chevalley group over a pseudofinite field. This celebrated result mostly follows from the work of Wilson in 1995 and heavily relies on the classification of finite…

Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda\leq G$ a lattice, and $\Omega=G/\Lambda$. We study the equidistribution properties of the left random walk on $\Omega$ induced by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$. It is assumed that $\mu$ has a…

We consider a random walk on a closed manifold $M$ driven by a probability measure $\mu$ on the space of $C^2$ diffeomorphisms. Provided $\mu$ has compact support, satisfies certain gap and pinching conditions, and is weak-$*$ close to a…

A theorem of Delorme states that every unitary representation of a connected Lie group with nontrivial reduced first cohomology has a finite-dimensional subrepresentation. More recently Shalom showed that such a property is inherited by…

Let $k$ be a field, $G$ be an abelian group and $r\in \mathbb N$. Let $L$ be an infinite dimensional $k$-vector space. For any $m\in End_k(L)$ we denote by $r(m)\in [0,\infty ]$ the rank of $m$. We define by $R(G,r,k)\in [0,\infty]$ the…

Geometric quantiles are popular location functionals to build rank-based statistical procedures in multivariate settings. They are obtained through the minimization of a non-smooth convex objective function. As a result, the singularity of…

The idea that the cohomology of finite groups might be fruitfully approached via the cohomology of ambient semisimple algebraic groups was first shown to be viable in the papers [CPS75] and [CPSvdK77]. The second paper introduced, through a…

We formulate an equivariant conservation of number, which proves that a generalized Euler number of a complex equivariant vector bundle can be computed as a sum of local indices of an arbitrary section. This involves an expansion of the…

Let M be an oriented compact positively curved 4-manifold. Let G be a finite subgroup of the isometry group of $M$. Among others, we prove that there is a universal constant C (cf. Corollary 4.3 for the approximate value of C), such that if…

We propose a general framework for quantum walks on d-dimensional spaces. We investigate asymptotic behavior of these walks. Among them, existence of limit distribution of homogeneous walks is proved. In this theorem, the support of the…

We consider $k$-dimensional random simplicial complexes that are generated from the binomial random $(k+1)$-uniform hypergraph by taking the downward-closure, where $k\geq 2$. For each $1\leq j \leq k-1$, we determine when all cohomology…

We prove the additive version of the conjecture proposed by Ginzburg and Kaledin. This conjecture states that if X/G is an orbifold modeled on a quotient of a smooth affine symplectic variety X (over C) by a finite group G\subset Aut(X) and…

We study the hypersimplex under the action of the symmetric group $S_n$ by coordinate permutation. We prove that the evaluation of its equivariant $H^*$-polynomial at $1$ is the permutation character of decorated ordered set partitions…
