We show the set of faithful representations of a closed orientable hyperbolic surface group is dense in both irreducible components of the PSL(2,K) representation variety, where K is the field of real or complex numbers, answering a…

We show that the Simple Loop Conjecture holds for any representation $\rho\colon\pi_1(S)\longrightarrow \text{PSL}(2,\,\mathbb R)$ that is discrete but not faithful. That is, we show the existence of a simple closed curve in the kernel of…

We consider spherical principal series representations of the semisimple Lie group of rank one $G=SO(n, 1; \mathbb K)$, $\mathbb K=\br, \bc, \bh$. There is a family of unitarizable representations $\pi_{\nu}$ of $G$ for $\nu$ in an interval…

We study complex hyperbolic disc bundles over closed orientable surfaces that arise from discrete and faithful representations H_n->PU(2,1), where H_n is the fundamental group of the orbifold S^2(2,...,2) and thus contains a surface group…

We explicitly describe the Teichmuller space TH_n of hyperelliptic surfaces in terms of natural and effective coordinates as the space of certain (2n-6)-tuples of distinct points on the ideal boundary of the Poincare disc. We essentially…

We prove that a family of complex hyperbolic ultra-parallel $[m_1, m_2, m_3]$-triangle group representations, where \( m_3 > 0 \), is discrete and faithful if and only if the isometry \( R_1(R_2R_1)^nR_3 \) is non-elliptic for some positive…

Let $G/H$ be a $p$-adic symmetric space. We compute explicitly the higher relative extension groups for all discrete series representations of $G$ in two examples: the symplectic case and the linear case. The results have immediate…

This article explores surface-group representations into the complex hyperbolic group $\mathrm{PU}(2,1)$ and presents domination results for a special class of representations called $T$-bent representations. Let $S_{g,k}$ be a punctured…

In this notes, we characterize discrete subgroups of PU(2,1), holomorphic isometric group of complex hyperbolic space, which have an invariant totally geodesic submanifold.

In this note, we calculate the Poincar\'{e} series of elliptic Weyl groups of type $A^{(1,1)}_1$ and $A^{(1,1) \ast}_1$ and show that they have a simple expression.

We give an explicit description of the restriction of discrete series representations of SU(2,1) to a Borel subgroup and to a maximal exponential solvable subgroup and we interpret our results in the framework of orbit method, Hamiltonian…

Under certain hypotheses, we prove a loop space decomposition for simply-connected Poincar\'e Duality complexes of dimension $n$ whose $(n-1)$-skeleton is a co-$H$-space. This unifies many known decompositions obtained in different contexts…

In this summary paper, we present the key ideas behind the recent proof of the $K(\pi, 1)$ conjecture for affine Artin groups, which states that complements of locally finite affine hyperplane arrangements with real equations and stable…

We provide a proof of the (well-known) result that the Poincar\'e exponent of a non-elementary Kleinian group is a lower bound for the upper box dimension of the limit set. Our proof only uses elementary hyperbolic and fractal geometry.

Let $\pi, \pi'$ be tempered representations of an affine Hecke algebra with positive parameters. We study their Euler--Poincar\'e pairing $EP (\pi,\pi')$, the alternating sum of the dimensions of the Ext-groups. We show that $EP (\pi,\pi')$…

The Matsushita fundamental groups of a graph $X$, denoted $\pi_1^r(X)$, are certain discrete versions of the fundamental group for topological spaces. For $r=2$, these groups have a nice combinatorial description, due to Sankar. In this…

Turaev conjectured that the classification, realization and splitting results for Poincar\'e duality complexes of dimension $3$ (PD$_{3}$-complexes) generalize to PD$_{n}$-complexes with $(n-2)$-connected universal cover for $n \ge 3$.…

In this note we show that the representation of the additive group of the Hilbert space $L^2([0,1],\R)$ on $L^2([0,1],\C)$ given by the multiplication operators $\pi(f) := e^{if}$ is continuous but its space of smooth vectors is trivial.…

In this paper, we study the restriction of an irreducible unitary representation $\pi$ of the universal covering $\widetilde{Sp}_{2n}(\mb R)$ to a Heisenberg maximal parabolic group $\tilde P$. We prove that if $\pi|_{\tilde P}$ is…
