Let $G$ be a right-angled Artin group with defining graph $\Gamma$ and let $H$ be a finitely generated group quasi-isometric to $G(\Gamma)$. We show if $G$ satisfies (1) its outer automorphism group is finite; (2) $\Gamma$ does not have…

In this paper we prove a homological stability theorem for the diffeomorphism groups of high dimensional manifolds with boundary, with respect to forming the boundary connected sum with the product $D^{p+1}\times S^{q}$ for $|q - p| <…

Geometrical stability theory is a powerful set of model-theoretic tools that can lead to structural results on models of a simple first-order theory. Typical results offer a characterization of the groups definable in a model of the theory.…

The canonical double cover $\mathrm{D}(\Gamma)$ of a graph $\Gamma$ is the direct product of $\Gamma$ and $K_2$. If $\mathrm{Aut}(\mathrm{D}(\Gamma))=\mathrm{Aut}(\Gamma)\times\mathbb{Z}_2$ then $\Gamma$ is called stable; otherwise $\Gamma$…

In this paper we study homological stability for spaces ${\rm Hom}(\mathbb{Z}^n,G)$ of pairwise commuting $n$-tuples in a Lie group $G$. We prove that for each $n\geqslant 1$, these spaces satisfy rational homological stability as $G$…

We construct a wealth of groups that are finitely presented, Frobenius stable, have property (T), but are very far from having property (T$_2$). Our method also shows that property (T$_2$) does not pass to quotients.

We study expansivity and the shadowing property for finitely generated group actions on metric spaces. We consider the projecting and lifting problems for actions having these properties. We prove that every expansive action with the…

We study quotients of mapping class groups (\Gamma_{g,1}) of oriented surfaces with one boundary component by terms of their Johnson filtrations, and we show that the homology of these quotients with suitable systems of twisted coefficients…

It is well-known that a finitely generated group $\Gamma$ has Kazhdan's property (T) if and only if the Laplacian element $\Delta$ in ${\mathbb R}[\Gamma]$ has a spectral gap. In this paper, we prove that this phenomenon is witnessed in…

This paper introduces and studies the stability of the strong domination number of a graph, denoted $\operatorname{st}_{\gamma_{st}}(G)$, defined as the minimum number of vertices whose removal changes the strong domination number…

This paper is a journal counterpart to our FOCS 2021 paper, in which we initiate the study of property testing problems concerning a finite system of relations $E$ between permutations, generalizing the study of stability in permutations.…

Let $N(\Gamma,G)$ be the number of homomorphisms from $\Gamma$ to $G$ up to conjugation by $G$. Physics of four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric gauge theories predicts that $N(\Gamma,G)=N(\Gamma , \tilde G)$ when $\Gamma$ is a…

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…

In this paper, we investigate the stability problem of subelliptic harmonic maps with potential. First, we derive the first and second variation formulas for subelliptic harmonic maps with potential. As a result, it is proved that a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a group acting on with finite stabilizers and finite fundamental domain on a building of type $\tilde A_2$. We prove that any non-trivial normal subgroup of $\Gamma$ is of finite index in $\Gamma$.

We investigate the quantitative stability of the nonlocal Sobolev inequality in Heisenberg group \begin{equation*}\label{non-Sobolev} C_{HL}(Q,\mu)…

We introduce the notion of L^2-rigidity for von Neumann algebras, a generalization of property (T) which can be viewed as an analogue for the vanishing of 1-cohomology into the left regular representation of a group. We show that…

In this work, we present a generalization of extended persistent homology to filtrations of graded sub-groups by defining relative homology in this setting. Our work provides a more comprehensive and flexible approach to get an algebraic…

We prove an inverse theorem for the Gowers $U^2$-norm for maps $G\to\mathcal M$ from an countable, discrete, amenable group $G$ into a von Neumann algebra $\mathcal M$ equipped with an ultraweakly lower semi-continuous, unitarily invariant…

We prove that every uniform approximate homomorphism from a discrete amenable group into a symmetric group is uniformly close to a homomorphism into a slightly larger symmetric group. That is, amenable groups are uniformly flexibly stable…
