Let $k$ be a field, $\tilde{G}$ a connected reductive $k$-group, and $\Gamma$ a finite group. In a previous work, the authors defined what it means for a connected reductive $k$-group $G$ to be "parascopic" for $(\tilde{G},\Gamma)$.…

The Gromov-Lawson-Rosenberg conjecture for a group G states that a compact spin manifold with fundamental group G admits a metric of positive scalar curvature if and only if a certain topological obstruction vanishes. It is known to be true…

We show that the Hilbert space compression of any finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex is 1 and deduce that any discrete group acting properly, co-compactly on a CAT(0) cube complex is exact. The class of groups covered by this theorem…

We prove that if every hyperbolic group is residually finite, then every quasi-convex subgroup of every hyperbolic group is separable. The main tool is relatively hyperbolic Dehn filling.

In 1995 Grillet defined the concept of a stratified semigroup and a stratified semigroup with zero. The present authors extended that idea to include semigroups with a more general base and proved, amongst other things, that finite…

A group $G$ is called subgroup conjugacy separable (abbreviated as SCS) if any two finitely generated and non-conjugate subgroups of $G$ remain non-conjugate in some finite quotient of $G$. An into-conjugacy version of SCS is abbreviated by…

The aim of this article is to understand the geometry of limit sets in pseudo-Riemannian hyperbolic geometry. We focus on a class of subgroups of $\mathrm{PO}(p,q+1)$ introduced by Danciger, Gu\'eritaud and Kassel, called…

In this paper we consider convex co-compact subgroups of the projective linear group. We prove that such a group is relatively hyperbolic with respect to a collection of virtually Abelian subgroups of rank two if and only if each open face…

We describe the prismatic F-gauge associated to a finite flat height one group scheme over a smooth variety of positive characteristic. As applications, we derive the description of the crystalline Dieudonn\'e module of…

This article is part of the program of studying large-scale geometric properties of totally disconnected locally compact groups, TDLC-groups, by analogy with the theory for discrete groups. We provide a characterization of hyperbolic…

Let $G$ be the group of rational points of a split connected reductive group over a nonarchimedean local field of residue characteristic $p$. Let $I$ be a pro-$p$ Iwahori subgroup of $G$ and let $R$ be a commutative quasi-Frobenius ring. If…

In [Bl1], it is proved that a subgroup of $PL_{+}(I)$ has a finite height if and only if it is solvable. We prove the "only if" part for any subgroup of Homeo$_{+}(I)$, and present a construction which indicates a plethora of examples of…

Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler fourfold with klt singularities and vanishing first Chern class, smooth in codimension two. We show that $X$ admits a Beauville-Bogomolov decomposition: a finite quasi-\'etale cover of $X$ splits as a product…

We generalize one part of Thurston's hyperbolic Dehn filling theorem to arbitrary-rank semisimple Lie groups by showing that certain deformations of extended geometrically finite subgroups of a semisimple Lie group are still extended…

This paper contains a thorough investigation of invariant distributions supported on limit sets of discrete groups acting convex cocompactly on symmetric spaces of negative curvature. It can be considered as a continuation of…

The main result of this article is a refinement of the well-known subgroup separability results of Hall and Scott for free and surface groups. We show that for any finitely generated subgroup, there is a finite dimensional representation of…

Let $\varphi:X\to S$ be a morphism between smooth complex analytic spaces, and let $f=0$ define a free divisor on $S$. We prove that if the deformation space $T^1_{X/S}$ of $\varphi$ is a Cohen-Macaulay $\mathcal{O}_X$-module of codimension…

Given an irreducible non-spherical non-affine (possibly non-proper) building $X$, we give sufficient conditions for a group $G < \Aut(X)$ to admit an infinite-dimensional space of non-trivial quasi-morphisms. The result applies to all…

The first goal of this article is to investigate a refinement of previously-introduced strongly regular hyperbolic automorphisms of locally finite thick Euclidean buildings $\Delta$ of finite Coxeter system $(W,S)$. The new ones are defined…

The notions of stable and Morse subgroups of finitely generated groups generalize the concept of a quasiconvex subgroup of a word-hyperbolic group. For a word-hyperbolic group $G$, Kapovich provided a partial algorithm which, on input a…
