The smallest set of admissible parameters of a $q$-analog of a Steiner system is $S_2[2,3,7]$. The existence of such a Steiner system -- known as a binary $q$-analog of the Fano plane -- is still open. In this article, the automorphism…

A (discrete) dynamical system may have various symmetries and reversing symmetries, which together form its so-called reversing symmetry group. We study the set of 3D trace maps (obtained from two-letter substitution rules) which preserve…

We introduce the fundamental group $F(\mathcal{M})$ of a finite von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ with finite dimensional normal trace space. The form of $F(\mathcal{M})$ is completely determined. Moreover, there exists a finite von Neumann…

Let $F$ be a totally real number field, $\wp$ a place of $F$ above $p$. Let $\rho$ be a $2$-dimensional $p$-adic representation of $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{F}/F)$ which appears in the \'etale cohomology of quaternion Shimura curves (thus $\rho$…

Let $\F_q^n$ be a vector space of dimension $n$ over the finite field $\F_q$. A $q$-analog of a Steiner system (briefly, a $q$-Steiner system), denoted $S_q[t,k,n]$, is a set $S$ of $k$-dimensional subspaces of $\F_q^n$ such that each…

This paper provides a general framework for Stein's density method for multivariate continuous distributions. The approach associates to any probability density function a canonical operator and Stein class, as well as an infinite…

We show that the following groups are invariably generated; the group of piecewise projective homeomorphisms of the real line, the group of piecewise $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ homeomorphisms of the real line, Monod's group…

We study actions of groups by homeomorphisms on $\mathbf{R}$ (or an interval) that are minimal, have solvable germs at $\pm \infty$ and contain a pair of elements of a certain type. We call such actions coherent. We establish that such an…

The squared singular values of the product of $M$ complex Ginibre matrices form a biorthogonal ensemble, and thus their distribution is fully determined by a correlation kernel. The kernel permits a hard edge scaling to a form specified in…

We prove that the group of homeomorphisms of the circle introduced by the author with Justin Moore (Groups, Geometry and Dynamics 2015) is of type $F_{\infty}$. This makes the group the first example of a type $F_{\infty}$ group which is…

Stein's formula states that a random variable of the form $z^\top f(z) - \text{div} f(z)$ is mean-zero for functions $f$ with integrable gradient. Here, $\text{div} f$ is the divergence of the function $f$ and $z$ is a standard normal…

We show that the Heisenberg type group $H_X=(\Bbb{Z}_2 \oplus V) \leftthreetimes V^{\ast}$, with the discrete Boolean group $V:=C(X,\Z_2)$, canonically defined by any Stone space $X$, is always minimal. That is, $H_X$ does not admit any…

We describe the BNS invariant of Kaehler groups. As an application we prove that if the fundamental group of a Kaehler manifold is solvable, it is virtually nilpotent.

Let $F$ denote the Thompson group with standard generators $A=x_0$, $B=x_1$. It is a long standing open problem whether $F$ is an amenable group. By a result of Kesten from 1959, amenability of $F$ is equivalent to $$(i)\qquad ||I+A+B||=3$$…

This paper studies Fefferman's program \cite{F3} of expressing the singularity of the Bergman kernel, for smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domains $\Omega\subset\C^n$, in terms of local biholomorphic invariants of the boundary. By…

In this article we discuss cohomological obstructions to two kinds of group stability. In the first part, we show that residually finite groups $\Gamma$ which arise as fundamental groups of compact Riemannian manifolds with strictly…

We study when a group of form $G\times\mathbb{Z}^m (m\geq 1)$ has the finitely generated fixed subgroup property of automorphisms ($\rm{FGFP}_a$), by using the BNS-invariant, and provide some partial answers and non-trivial examples.

For discrete groups G, we introduce equivariant Nielsen invariants. They are equivariant analogs of the Nielsen number and give lower bounds for the number of fixed point orbits in the G-homotopy class of an equivariant endomorphism f:X->X.…

In this note, we prove that the F-fundamental group scheme is birational invariant for smooth projective varieties. We prove that the F-fundamental group scheme is naturally a quotient of the Nori fundamental group scheme. For elliptic…

In this article, we study the fixed-point subgroups of the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $\BS(1,n)= \langle a, t \mid t a t^{-1} = a^{n} \rangle$, $n>1$ of automorphisms and endomorphisms. We also investigate the stabilizers of subgroups…
