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…

The special linear group G=SL_n(Z[x1,...,xk]) (n at least 3 and k finite) is called the universal lattice. Let n be at least 4, p be any real number in (1,\infty). The main result is the following: any finite index subgroup of G has the…

We prove that infinite definably simple locally finite groups of finite centraliser dimension are simple groups of Lie type over locally finite fields. Then, we identify conditions on automorphisms of a stable group that make it resemble…

In this short note we answer a query of Brodzki, Niblo, \v{S}pakula, Willett and Wright by showing that all bounded degree uniformly locally amenable graphs have Property A. For the second result of the note recall that Kaiser proved that…

We prove several cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions of higher-rank cocompact lattices on low dimensional manifolds. For example, if $\Gamma$ is a cocompact lattice in $\mathrm{Sl}(n, \mathbb R)$, $M$ is a compact manifold, and…

The assignment of local observables in the vacuum sector, fulfilling the standard axioms of local quantum theory, is known to determine uniquely a compact group G of gauge transformations of the first kind together with a central involutive…

We prove the existence of time-periodic solutions and spatially localised solutions (breathers), in general nonlinear Klein-Gordon infinite lattices. The existence problem is converted into a fixed point problem for an operator on some…

We analyze the rank gradient of finitely generated groups with respect to sequences of subgroups of finite index that do not necessarily form a chain, by connecting it to the cost of p.m.p. actions. We generalize several results that were…

A partial algebra construction of Gr\"atzer and Schmidt from "Characterizations of congruence lattices of abstract algebras" (Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 24 (1963), 34-59) is adapted to provide an alternative proof to a well-known fact that…

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 give a necessary and sufficient condition ensuring that any function which is separately Lipschitz on two fixed compact sets is Lipschitz on their union.

We prove Farber's conjecture on the stable topological complexity of configuration spaces of graphs. The conjecture follows from a general lower bound derived from recent insights into the topological complexity of aspherical spaces. Our…

In this paper we present local Sternberg conjugation theorems near attracting fixed points for lattice systems. The interactions are spatially decaying and are not restricted to finite distance. The conjugations obtained retain the same…

J. Tuma proved an interesting "congruence amalgamation" result. We are generalizing and providing an alternate proof for it. We then provide applications of this result: --A.P. Huhn proved that every distributive algebraic lattice $D$ with…

We prove that, except for a few cases, stable linearizability of finite subgroups of the plane Cremona group implies linearizability.

We determine the existence of cocompact lattices in groups of the form $\V\rtimes\SL_2(\R)$, where $\V$ is a finite dimensional real representation of $\SL_2(\R)$. It turns out that the answer depends on the parity of $\dim(\V)$ when the…

We prove the following theorem for Holomorphic Foliations in compact complex kaehler manifolds: if there is a compact leaf with finite holonomy, then every leaf is compact with finite holonomy. As corollary we reobtain stability theorems…

Given a simple Lie group $G$, we show that the lattices in $G$ are weakly uniformly discrete. This is a strengthening of the Kazhdan-Margulis theorem. Our proof however is straightforward --- considering general IRS rather than lattices…

We show that stationary characters on irreducible lattices $\Gamma < G$ of higher-rank connected semisimple Lie groups are conjugation invariant, that is, they are genuine characters. This result has several applications in representation…

We announce various results concerning the structure of compactly generated simple locally compact groups. We introduce a local invariant, called the structure lattice, which consists of commensurability classes of compact subgroups with…
