Let $\Gamma$ be a $T$-ideal of identities of an affine PI-algebra over an algebraically closed field $F$ of characteristic zero. Consider the family $\mathcal{M}_{\Gamma}$ of finite dimensional algebras $\Sigma$ with $Id(\Sigma) = \Gamma$.…

Expander graphs have been a focus of attention in computer science in the last four decades. In recent years a high dimensional theory of expanders is emerging. There are several possible generalizations of the theory of expansion to…

We continue classification of finite groups which can be used as symmetry group of the scalar sector of the four-Higgs-doublet model (4HDM). Our objective is to systematically construct non-abelian groups via the group extension procedure,…

We show that, if $\Gamma$ is a point group of $\mathbb{R}^{k+1}$ of order two for some $k\geq 2$ and $\mathcal S$ is a $k$-pseudomanifold which has a free automorphism of order two, then either $\mathcal S$ has a $\Gamma$-symmetric…

Given a connected semisimple Lie group $G$ and an arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$, it is well-known that each irreducible representation $\pi$ of $G$ occurs in the discrete spectrum $L^2_{\text{disc}}(\Gamma\backslash G)$ of…

The theory of $k$-regular graphs is closely related to group theory. Every $k$-regular, bipartite graph is a Schreier graph with respect to some group $G$, a set of generators $S$ (depending only on $k$) and a subgroup $H$. The goal of this…

For $n \geq 2$ and a local field $K$, let $\Delta_n$ denote the affine building naturally associated to the symplectic group ${\rm Sp}_n(K)$. We compute the spectral radius of the subgraph $Y_n$ of $\Delta_n$ induced by the special vertices…

Let $\Gamma$ be a geometrically finite Fuchsian group and suppose that $\chi\colon\Gamma\to\mathrm{GL}(V)$ is a finite-dimensional representation with non-expanding cusp monodromy. We show that the parabolic Eisenstein series for $\Gamma$…

There is a procedure, due to Dani and Levcovitz, for taking a finite simplicial graph (\Gamma) and a subgraph (\Lambda) of its complement, checking some conditions, and, if satisfied, producing a graph (\Delta) such that the right-angled…

We prove a generalization of the Expander Mixing Lemma for arbitrary (finite) simplicial complexes. The original lemma states that concentration of the Laplace spectrum of a graph implies combinatorial expansion (which is also referred to…

Let S be a fixed symmetric finite subset of SL_d(O_K) that generates a Zariski dense subgroup of SL_d(O_K) when we consider it as an algebraic group over Q by restriction of scalars. We prove that the Cayley graphs of SL_d(O_K/I) with…

We compute the Bieri-Neumann-Strebel invariants $\Sigma^1$ for the generalized solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups $\Gamma_n$ and their finite index subgroups. Using $\Sigma^1$, we show that certain finite index subgroups of $\Gamma_n$ cannot…

Let $\Gamma_n(\mathcal{\scriptstyle{O}}_\mathbb{K})$ denote the Hermitian modular group of degree $n$ over an imaginary-quadratic number field $\mathbb{K}$. In this paper we determine its maximal discrete extension in $SU(n,n;\mathbb{C})$,…

We provide the foundation of the spectral analysis of the Laplacian on the orbital Schreier graphs of the Basilica group, the iterated monodromy group of the quadratic polynomial $z^2-1$. This group is an important example in the class of…

In this article, we show that given any integer $l\geq 2$, every closed curve $\gamma$ on the bouquet of $n$-circles $\Gamma$, admits a lift to a finite $l$-sheeted normal covering of $\Gamma$. Equivalently, identifying the free group $F_n$…

Let $\Omega$ be a finite symmetric subset of GL$_n(\mathbb{Z}[1/q_0])$, and $\Gamma:=\langle \Omega \rangle$. Then the family of Cayley graphs $\{{\rm Cay}(\pi_m(\Gamma),\pi_m(\Omega))\}_m$ is a family of expanders as $m$ ranges over fixed…

This paper introduces the notion of local spectral expansion of a simplicial complex as a possible analogue of spectral expansion defined for graphs. We then show that the condition of local spectral expansion for a complex yields various…
