We review the state-of-the-art concerning the freeness conjecture stated in the 1990's by Brou\'e, Malle and Rouquier for generic Hecke algebras associated to complex reflection groups, and in particular we expose in detail one of the main…

We discuss several counterexamples to a rigidity conjecture of K. Khanin, which states that under some quantitative condition on non-existence of periodic orbits, $C^0$ conjugacy implies $C^1$ (even $C^\infty$) conjugacy. We construct…

We prove a new rigidity criterion for families of polarized Calabi-Yau manifolds. Motivated by known non-rigid examples, we conjecture that a family over a quasi-projective curve is rigid if it admits a smooth compactification whose…

In this thesis, we study the cyclicity condition for an ordered tensor product of fundamental representations and the local Weyl modules of Yangians. We provide a sufficient condition for the cyclicity of an ordered tensor product…

A variant of Gromov's notion of measure equivalence for groups has been introduced for II$_1$ factors under different names. We propose the terminology of W*-correlated II$_1$ factors. We prove rigidity results up to W*-correlations for…

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a morphism of complex manifolds. Suppose that $X$ is a K\"ahler manifold. Let $(\mathcal{T},\mathcal{S})$ be a regular polarized pure twistor $\mathcal{D}$-module of weight $w$ on $X$ whose support is proper over $Y$. We…

Given graphs $H$ and $F$ with $\chi(H)<\chi(F)$, we say that $H$ is weakly $F$-Tur\'an-good if among $n$-vertex $F$-free graphs, a $(\chi(F)-1)$-partite graph contains the most copies of $H$. Let $H$ be a bipartite graph that contains a…

Combinatorial rigidity theory seeks to describe the rigidity or flexibility of bar-joint frameworks in R^d in terms of the structure of the underlying graph G. The goal of this article is to broaden the foundations of combinatorial rigidity…

For a closed Riemannian manifold we extend the definition of analytic and Reidemeister torsion associated to an orthogonal representation of fundamental group on a Hilbert module of finite type over a finite von Neumann algebra. If the…

Let $T$ be a graph in a compact, orientable 3--manifold $M$ and let $\Gamma$ be a subgraph. $T$ can be placed in bridge position with respect to a Heegaard surface $H$. We show that if $H$ is what we call $(T,\Gamma)$-c-weakly reducible in…

We address a question posed by Ono, prove a general result for powers of an arbitrary prime, and provide an explanation for the appearance of higher congruence moduli for certain small primes. One of our results coincides with a recent…

In this paper we propose two guiding principles that suggest a number of conjectures (some now proved) about various forms of rigidity for moduli spaces arising in algebraic geometry. Such conjectures have group-theoretic, topological and…

In this paper, we study if, for a given simple module over a Hopf algebra, there exists a virtual module such that their tensor product is the regular module. This is related to a conjecture by Donald Knutson, later disproved and refined by…

An alternative proof of Eliashberg-Gromov's C^0-rigidity theorem is presented and a new notion of weak Lie brackets for Hamiltonian vector fields is proposed and compared.

A $d$-dimensional tensegrity framework $(T,p)$ is an edge-labeled geometric graph in ${\mathbb R}^d$, which consists of a graph $T=(V,B\cup C\cup S)$ and a map $p:V\to {\mathbb R}^d$. The labels determine whether an edge $uv$ of $T$…

We discuss in the context of finite extensions two classical theorems of Takahasi and Howson on subgroups of free groups. We provide bounds for the rank of the intersection of subgroups within classes of groups such as virtually free…

We prove a representation stability result for the second homology groups of Torelli subgroups of mapping class groups and automorphism groups of free groups. This strengthens the results of Boldsen-Hauge Dollerup and Day-Putman. We also…

We prove measurable analogues of Whitney's classical theorems on weak isomorphisms of finite graphs. In the setting of locally finite graphings, we introduce a notion of weak isomorphism as an edge-measure-preserving Borel bijection that…

If $(R,I)$ is a henselian pair with an action of a finite group $G$ and $n\ge 1$ is an integer coprime to $|G|$ and such that $n\cdot |G|\in R^*$, then the reduction map of mod-$n$ equivariant $K$-theory spectra \[…

In this paper we study a new product of graphs called {\em tight product}. A graph $H$ is said to be a tight product of two (undirected multi) graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$, if $V(H)=V(G_1)\times V(G_2)$ and both projection maps $V(H)\to V(G_1)$…
