We present an approach to detecting Zariski pairs in conic line arrangements. Our method introduces a combinatorial condition that reformulates the tubular neighborhood homeomorphism criterion arising in the definition of Zariski pairs.…

Let $X=G/H$ be a homogeneous space of a Lie group $G$. When the isotropy subgroup $H$ is non-compact, a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ may fail to act properly discontinuously on $X$. In this article, we address the following question: in the…

We introduce the spike-and-slab group lasso (SSGL) for Bayesian estimation and variable selection in linear regression with grouped variables. We further extend the SSGL to sparse generalized additive models (GAMs), thereby introducing the…

We classify all locally finite joinings of a horospherical subgroup action on \Gamma \ G when \Gamma is a Zariski dense geometrically finite subgroup of G=PSL_2(R) or PSL_2(C). This generalizes Ratner's 1983 joining theorem for the case…

Arithmetic Kleinian groups are arithmetic lattices in PSL_2(C). We present an algorithm which, given such a group Gamma, returns a fundamental domain and a finite presentation for Gamma with a computable isomorphism.

We use a (pre)-Kuznetsov type formula to prove a density result for the Borel-type congruence subgroup of GLn. This has some arithmetic applications to optimal lifting and counting considered earlier by A. Kamber and H. Lavner for $GL_3$.

We present several new algorithms for computing factorization invariant values over affine semigroups. In particular, we give (i) the first known algorithm to compute the delta set of any affine semigroup, (ii) an improved method of…

We obtain a bi-Lipschitz rigidity theorem for a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a connected simple real algebraic group. As an application, we show that any Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a higher rank semisimple algebraic group $G$…

We study the transience of algebraic varieties in linear groups. In particular, we show that a "non elementary" random walk in SL_2(R) escapes exponentially fast from every proper algebraic subvariety. We also treat the case where the…

We show that real semi-simple Lie groups of higher rank contain (infinitely generated) discrete subgroups with full limit sets in the corresponding Furstenberg boundaries. Additionally, we provide criteria under which discrete subgroups of…

Let G be a semi-simple algebraic group over a finitely generated field K of characteristic zero, and let \Gamma < G(K) be a finitely generated Zariski-dense subgroup. In this note we prove that the set of K-generic elements of \Gamma (whose…

The groups whose orders factorise into at most four primes have been described (up to isomorphism) in various papers. Given such an order n, this paper exhibits a new explicit and compact determination of the isomorphism types of the groups…

Let $G$ be a connected algebraic semisimple real Lie group with finite center and no compact factors, and let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of $G$. We show that $\Gamma$ contains free, finitely generated subsemigroups whose…

Let \alpha_0 be an affine action of a discrete group \Gamma on a compact homogeneous space X and \alpha_1 a smooth action of \Gamma on X which is C^1-close to \alpha_0. We show that under some conditions, every topological conjugacy between…

Let G be a unipotent algebraic subgroup of some GL_m(C) defined over Q. We describe an algorithm for finding a finite set of generators of the subgroup G(Z) = G \cap GL_m(Z). This is based on a new proof of the result (in more general form…

In this paper we solve the problem of finding in a given weighted hypergraph a subhypergraph with a maximum possible density. We introduce the notion of a support matrix and prove that the density of an optimal subhypergraph is equal to…

Let G:=SO(n,1)^\circ and \Gamma be a geometrically finite Zariski dense subgroup with critical exponent delta bigger than (n-1)/2. Under a spectral gap hypothesis on L^2(\Gamma \ G), which is always satisfied for delta>(n-1)/2 for n=2,3 and…

It is shown that for a linear algebraic group G over a field of characteristic zero, there is a natural number \kappa(G) such that if a system of Zariski closed cosets in G has empty intersection, then there is a subsystem consisting of at…

Let $X=G/H$ be a homogeneous space, where $G \supset H$ are reductive Lie groups. We ask: in the setting where $\Gamma \backslash G/H$ is a standard quotient, to what extent can the discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ be deformed while preserving…

For positive integers $k$ and $N$, we describe how to compute the natural action of $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ on the space of cusp forms $S_k(\Gamma(N))$, where a cusp form is given by sufficiently many terms of its $q$-expansion. This will reduce…
