Let $\Gamma < \mathrm{GL}_n(F)$ be a countable non-amenable linear group with a simple, center free Zariski closure, $\mathrm{Sub}(\Gamma)$ the space of all subgroups of $\Gamma$ with the, compact, metric, Chabauty topology. An invariant…

The self-adjoint, positive Markov operator defined by the P\'olya-Gamma Gibbs sampler (under a proper normal prior) is shown to be trace-class, which implies that all non-zero elements of its spectrum are eigenvalues. Consequently, the…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ and let $C_1, \ldots, C_t$ be non-central conjugacy classes in $G$. In this paper, we consider the problem of determining whether there exist $g_i \in C_i$ such that…

In the literature, there is no known general method (formula) to compute the Zariski closure of an ``infinite'' subset of the prime spectrum. This problem indeed deals with the prime ideals of an infinite direct product of nonzero…

Let $G$ be $\SO(n,1)$ or $\SU(n,1)$ and let $\Gamma\subset G$ denote an arithmetic lattice. The hyperbolic manifold $\Gamma\backslash \calH$ comes with a natural family of covers, coming from the congruence subgroups of $\Gamma$. In many…

Let $\Gamma_1$ and $\Gamma_2$ be two lattices of finite covolume in a semisimple Lie group $G$. We prove a spectral rigidity result for the representation spectra of the right regular representations $L^2(\Gamma_1 \backslash G)$ and…

Let G be a finitely generated group and M_n(G) the number of its normal subgroup subgroups of index at most n. For linear groups G we show that M_n(G) can grow polynomially in n only if the semisimple part of the Zariski closure of G has…

Let $\varphi\colon\Gamma\to G$ be a homomorphism of groups. In this paper we introduce the notion of a subnormal map (the inclusion of a subnormal subgroup into a group being a basic prototype). We then consider factorizations…

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…
