Let $\pi$ traverse a sequence of cuspidal automorphic representations of GL(2) with large prime level, unramified central character and bounded infinity type. For G either of the groups GL(1) or PGL(2), let H(G) denote the assertion that…
The system of falling balls is an autonomous Hamiltonian system with a smooth invariant measure and non-zero Lyapunov exponents almost everywhere. Since almost three decades, the question of ergodicity is still open. The subject of this…
We show that for any weakly convergent sequence of ergodic $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$-invariant probability measures on a stratum of unit-area translation surfaces, the corresponding Siegel-Veech constants converge to the Siegel-Veech constant of…
In quantum theory on curved backgrounds, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is usually discussed in terms of ensemble variances and flat-space commutators. Here we take a different, preparation-based viewpoint tailored to sharp position…
We study quantitative unique continuation for second order elliptic equations with lower-order terms of H\"older regularity via a weighted frequency function method. We establish quantitative three-ball inequalities and corresponding…
We reconcile between two classical models of edge-dislocations in solids. The first model, dating from the early 1900s models isolated edge-dislocations as line singularities in locally-Euclidean manifolds. The second model, dating from the…
We prove a quantum ergodicity theorem in position space for the eigenfunctions of a Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta+V$ on a rectangular torus $\mathbb{T}^2$ for $V\in L^2(\mathbb{T}^2)$ with an algebraic rate of convergence in terms of the…
This is a survey of recent results on quantum ergodicity, specifically on the large energy limits of matrix elements relative to eigenfunctions of the Laplacian. It is mainly devoted to QUE (quantum unique ergodicity) results, i.e. results…
In this paper we first establish an optimal Sobolev type inequality for hypersurfaces in $\H^n$(see Theorem \ref{mainthm1}). As an application we obtain hyperbolic Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for curvature integrals and…
We provide a new approach to stable ergodicity of systems with dominated splittings, based on a geometrical analysis of global stable and unstable manifolds of hyperbolic points. Our method suggests that the lack of uniform size of Pesin's…
We prove a large deviations principle for orthogonal projections of the unit ball $\mathbb{B}_p^n$ of $\ell_p^n$ onto a random $k$-dimensional linear subspace of $\mathbb{R}^n$ as $n\to\infty$ in the case $2<p\le \infty$ and for the…
Let $\Sigma$ be a $k$-dimensional complete proper minimal submanifold in the Poincar\'{e} ball model $B^n$ of hyperbolic geometry. If we consider $\Sigma$ as a subset of the unit ball $B^n$ in Euclidean space, we can measure the Euclidean…
The deformation theory of hyperbolic and Euclidean cone-manifolds with all cone angles less then 2{\pi} plays an important role in many problems in low dimensional topology and in the geometrization of 3-manifolds. Furthermore, various old…
We use pseudodeformation theory to study the analogue of Mazur's Eisenstein ideal with certain squarefree levels. Given a prime number $p>3$ and a squarefree number $N$ satisfying certain conditions, we study the Eisenstein part of the…
In this paper we present a proof of the {\it Hecke quantum unique ergodicity rate conjecture} for the Berry-Hannay model. A model of quantum mechanics on the 2-dimensional torus. This conjecture was stated in Z. Rudnick's lectures at MSRI,…
In this paper, we consider stochastic homogenization of elliptic equations with unbounded and non-uniformly elliptic coefficients. Extending subadditive arguments, we get an estimate for the rate of the convergence of the solution of the…
For $n \ge 2$, we prove that a finite volume complex hyperbolic $n$-manifold containing infinitely many maximal properly immersed totally geodesic submanifolds of dimension at least two is arithmetic, paralleling our previous work for real…
We extend results of Bhagwat and Rajan on a strong multiplicity one property for length spectrum to hyperbolic manifolds with cusps, showing that for two even dimensional hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume, if all but finitely many…
In this note we prove three rigidity results for Einstein manifolds with bounded covering geometry. (1) An almost flat manifold $(M,g)$ must be flat if it is Einstein, i.e. $\operatorname{Ric}_g=\lambda g$ for some real number $\lambda$.…
We prove an inequality on the Kantorovich-Rubinstein distance --which can be seen as a particular case of a Wasserstein metric-- between two solutions of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation without angular cutoff, but with a…
