Let $G$ be a locally-compact group and $(H,L)$ a pair of closed subgroups of $G$. For the cases where $G$ is a real linear reductive Lie group, T. Kobayashi [Math. Ann. '89, J. Lie Theory '96] established a criterion for properness of the…

The main goal of this paper is to develop a concept of approximate differentiability of higher order for subsets of the Euclidean space that allows to characterize higher order rectifiable sets, extending somehow well known facts for…

We characterize $n$-rectifiable metric measure spaces as those spaces that admit a countable Borel decomposition so that each piece has positive and finite $n$-densities and one of the following: is an $n$-dimensional Lipschitz…

What sets A \subset Z^n can be written in the form (K-K) \cap Z^n, where K is a compact subset of R^n such that K+Z^n=R^n? Such sets A are called achievable, and it is known that if A is achievable, then < A >=Z^n. This condition completely…

We study the geometry of germs of definable (semialgebraic or subanalytic) sets over a $p$-adic field from the metric, differential and measure geometric point of view. We prove that the local density of such sets at each of their points…

The space of deformations of the integer Heisenberg group under the action of $\textrm{Aut}(H(\mathbb{R}))$ is a homogeneous space for a non-reductive group. We analyze its structure as a measurable dynamical system and obtain mean and…

Let Gamma be a discrete group satisfying the rapid decay property with respect to a length function which is conditionally negative. Then the reduced C*-algebra of Gamma has the metric approximation property. The central point of our proof…

A discrete subset $S$ of a topological group $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{e\}$ is closed in $G$ and the subgroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $e$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, the…

For two not necessarily commutative topological groups G and T, let H(G,T) denote the space of all continuous homomorphisms from G to T with the compact-open topology. We prove that if G is metrizable and T is compact then H(G,T) is a…

Let k be a global field. Let G be a connected linear algebraic k-group, assumed reductive when k is a function field. It follows from a result of a preprint by Bary-Soroker, Fehm and Petersen that when H is a smooth connected k-subgroup of…

This work builds on the foundation laid by Gordon and Wilson in the study of isometry groups of solvmanifolds, i.e. Riemannian manifolds admitting a transitive solvable group of isometries. We restrict ourselves to a natural class of…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $H$ a closed subgroup of $G$. Suppose the homogeneous space $G/H$ is effective and has dimension 3 or higher. Consider a $G$-invariant, symmetric, positive-semidefinite, nonzero (0,2)-tensor…

For a connected quasi-split reductive algebraic group $G$ over a field $k$, which is either a finite field or a non-archimedean local field, $\theta$ an involutive automorphism of $G$ over $k$, let $K =G^\theta$. Let $K^1=[K^0,K^0]$, the…

Let $G$ be a second-countable amenable group with a uniform $k$-approximate lattice $\Lambda$. For a projective discrete series representation $(\pi, \mathcal{H}_{\pi})$ of $G$ of formal degree $d_{\pi} > 0$, we show that $D^-(\Lambda) \geq…

A topological space $G$ is said to be a {\it rectifiable space} provided that there are a surjective homeomorphism $\phi :G\times G\rightarrow G\times G$ and an element $e\in G$ such that $\pi_{1}\circ \phi =\pi_{1}$ and for every $x\in G$…

Let $k$ be a number field, $\mathbf{G}$ an algebraic group defined over $k$, and $\mathbf{G}(k)$ the group of $k$-rational points in $\mathbf{G}.$ We determine the set of functions on $\mathbf{G}(k)$ which are of positive type and…
