Every stationary action of a strongly irreducible lattice or commensurator of such a latiice in a general semisimple group, with at least one higher-rank connected factor, either has finite stabilizers almost surely or finite index…

We study the existence of cocompact lattices in Lie groups with bi-invariant metric of signature $(2,n-2)$. We assume in addition that the Lie groups under consideration are simply-connected, indecomposable and solvable. Then their centre…

For a locally compact abelian group $G$ a simple proof is given for the known fact that a bounded domain $\Omega$ tiles $G$ with translations by a lattice $\Lambda$ if and only if the set of characters of $G$ indexed by the dual lattice of…

This book provides a gentle introduction to the study of arithmetic subgroups of semisimple Lie groups. This means that the goal is to understand the group SL(n,Z) and certain of its subgroups. Among the major results discussed in the later…

The classical knot groups are the fundamental groups of the complements of smooth or piecewise-linear (PL) locally-flat knots. For PL knots that are not locally-flat, there is a pair of interesting groups to study: the fundamental group of…

We study rigidity properties of lattices in terms of invariant means and commensurating actions (or actions on CAT(0) cube complexes). We notably study Property FM for groups, namely that any action on a discrete set with an invariant mean…

In this article we introduce and study uniform and non-uniform approximate lattices in locally compact second countable (lcsc) groups. These are approximate subgroups (in the sense of Tao) which simultaneously generalize lattices in lcsc…

In 1995, S. Adams and G. Stuck as well as A. Zeghib independently provided a classification of non-compact Lie groups which can act isometrically and locally effectively on compact Lorentzian manifolds. In the case that the corresponding…

We show that proper Lie groupoids are locally linearizable. As a consequence, the orbit space of a proper Lie groupoid is a smooth orbispace (a Hausdorff space which locally looks like the quotient of a vector space by a linear compact Lie…

Let $G$ be the fundamental group of a finite graph of groups with Noetherian edges and locally tame vertices. We prove that $G$ is locally tame. It follows that if a finitely presented group $H$ has a non-trivial $JSJ$-decomposition over…

Let G be the group of rational points of a semisimple algebraic group of rank 1 over a nonarchimedean local field. We improve upon Lubotzky's analysis of graphs of groups describing the action of lattices in G on its Bruhat-Tits tree…

We introduce the notion of rigidity for automorphic representations of groups over global function fields. We construct the Langlands parameters of rigid automorphic representations explicitly as local systems over open curves. We expect…

The purpose of this note is to give a new proof of Alexeev's boundedness result for stable surfaces which is independent of the base field and to highlight some important consequences of this result.

We define the structure constants of almost complex, almost symplectic and Riemannian structures on a local Lie group

In this paper, we explain a simple and uniform construction of a smooth integral model associated to a quadratic, (anti)-hermitian, and (anti)-quaternionic hermitian lattice defined over an arbitrary local field. As one major application,…

Periodic lattices are natural generalizations of lattices, which arise naturally in diophantine approximations with rationals of bounded denominators. In this paper, we prove analogues of classical theorems in geometry of numbers for…

Consider a finite-dimensional, complex Lie algebra G and a semi-simple automorphism {\alpha}. This note aims to give a short and simple proof for explicit upper bounds for the derived length of the radical R and the rank of a Levi…

Symplectic slice theorems elucidate the local structure of symplectic manifolds carrying Hamiltonian actions of compact Lie groups. We generalize these theorems in two natural settings. The first is based on the idea that complex reductive…

The aim of the present paper is to study isomorphisms of canonical ${\cal E}$-lattices. Some interesting results are obtained in the particular case of isomorphisms between two subgroup ${\cal E}$-lattices.

A planar semimodular lattice $L$ is \emph{slim} if $\mathbf{M}_3$ is not a sublattice of $L$. In a recent paper, G. Cz\'edli introduced a very powerful diagram type for slim, planar, semimodular lattices. This short note proves the…
