We prove that the outer automorphism group $Out(G)$ is residually finite when the group $G$ is virtually compact special (in the sense of Haglund and Wise) or when $G$ is isomorphic to the fundamental group of some compact $3$-manifold. To…

Let $K$ be a finite unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, where $p>2$. [CEGS22b] and [EG23] construct a moduli stack of two dimensional mod $p$ representations of the absolute Galois group of $K$. We show that most irreducible components…

We construct invariant quasimorphisms for groups acting on the circle. Furthermore, we provide a criterion for the non-extendablity of the resulting quasimorphisms and an explicit formula which relates the values of our quasimorphisms to…

Let E be a finite extension of Fp. Using Fontaine's theory of (phi,Gamma)-modules, Colmez has shown how to attach to any irreducible E-linear representation of Gal(Qpbar/Qp) an infinite dimensional smooth irreducible E-linear representation…

We study, for a locally compact group $G$, the compactifications $(\pi,G^\pi)$ associated with unitary representations $\pi$, which we call {\it $\pi$-Eberlein compactifications}. We also study the Gelfand spectra $\Phi_{\mathcal{A}}(\pi)}$…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $n>2$ an integer, and $F$ a CM field in which $p$ splits completely. Assume that a continuous automorphic Galois representation…

The idea that the cohomology of finite groups might be fruitfully approached via the cohomology of ambient semisimple algebraic groups was first shown to be viable in the papers [CPS75] and [CPSvdK77]. The second paper introduced, through a…

We prove that the degree $r(2p-3)$ cohomology of any (untwisted) finite group of Lie type over $\mathbb{F}_{p^r}$, with coefficients in characteristic $p$, is nonzero as long as its Coxeter number is at most $p$. We do this by providing a…

This paper presents a systematic study for abstract harmonic analysis on classical Banach spaces of covariant functions of characters of compact subgroups. Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $H$ be a compact subgroup of $G$. Suppose…

Let $S$ be a Banach algebra over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ whose residue fields are finite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Given an arithmetic family $V$ of Galois representations, i.e., a finite free $S$-module $V$ with a continuous action of the…

We define totally-isotropic polynomials of alternating matrix spaces over finite fields, by analogy with independence polynomials of graphs. Our main result shows that totally-isotropic polynomials of graphical alternating matrix spaces…

Let k be a field, and let {\pi}:\tilde{X} -> X be a proper birational morphism of irreducible k-varieties, where \tilde{X} is smooth and X has at worst quotient singularities. When the characteristic of k is zero, a theorem of Koll\'ar in…

Let $G=GL_{n}(\mathbb{C})$ and $1\ne\psi:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}^{\times}$ be an additive character. Let $U$ be the subgroup of upper triangular unipotent matrices in $G$. Denote by $\theta$ the character $\theta:U\to\mathbb{C}$ given by \[…

We investigate representations of Coxeter groups into $\mathrm{GL}(n,\mathbb{R})$ as geometric reflection groups which are convex cocompact in the projective space $\mathbb{P}(\mathbb{R}^n)$. We characterize which Coxeter groups admit such…

We establish a close link between the amenability of a unitary representation $\pi$ of a group $G$ (in the sense of Bekka) and the concentration property (in the sense of V. Milman) of the corresponding dynamical system $(\s_\pi,G)$, where…

We describe the Stiefel-Whitney classes (SWCs) of orthogonal representations $\pi$ of the finite special linear groups $G=\text{SL}(2,\mathbb F_q)$, in terms of character values of $\pi$. From this calculation, we can answer interesting…

We consider rational representations of a connected linear algebraic group $\mathbb G$ over a field $k$ of positive characteristic $p > 0$. We introduce a natural extension $M \mapsto \Pi(\mathbb G)_M$ to $\mathbb G$-modules of the…
