In this paper we produce many examples of thin subgroups of special linear groups that are isomorphic to the fundamental groups of non-arithmetic hyperbolic manifolds. Specifically, we show that the non-arithmetic lattices in…

Zimmer's superrigidity theorems on higher rank Lie groups and their lattices launched a program of study aiming to classify actions of semisimple Lie groups and their lattices, known as the {\it Zimmer program}. When the group is too large…

We explore the thinness of hypergeometric groups of type $\mathrm{Sp}(4)$ and $\mathrm{Sp}(6)$ by applying a new approach of computer-assisted ping pong. We prove the thinness of $17$ hypergeometric groups with maximally unipotent monodromy…

We construct the first example of a Zariski-dense, discrete, non-lattice subgroup $\Gamma_0$ of a higher rank simple Lie group $G$, which is non-tempered in the sense that the quasi-regular representation $L^2(\Gamma_0\backslash G)$ is…

A hyperbolic reflection group is a discrete group generated by reflections in the faces of an $n$-dimensional hyperbolic polyhedron. This survey article is dedicated to the study of arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups with an emphasis…

We exhibit examples of finitely presented subgroups $P$ of direct products of hyperbolic groups for which there is no algorithm that detects whether a finitely presented group has a quotient isomorphic to $P$. For any torsion-free, linear,…

We show that for any finitely generated subgroup $H$ of a limit group $L$ there exists a finite-index subgroup $K$ containing $H$, such that $K$ is a subgroup of a group obtained from $H$ by a series of extensions of centralizers and free…

We introduce parabolic degenerations of rational Cherednik algebras of complex reflection groups, and use them to give necessary conditions for finite-dimensionality of an irreducible lowest weight module for the rational Cherednik algebra…

Let $\Lambda$ be a subgroup of an arithmetic lattice in SO(n+1,1). The quotient $\mathbb{H}^{n+1} / \Lambda$ has a natural family of congruence covers corresponding to primes in some ring of integers. We establish a super-strong…

For every dimension d, there is an infinite family of convex co-compact reflection groups of isometries of hyperbolic d-space --- the superideal (simplicial and cubical) reflection groups --- with the property that a random group at any…

In this paper, we classify all the orientable hyperbolic 5-manifolds that arise as a hyperbolic space form $H^5/\Gamma$ where $\Gamma$ is a torsion-free subgroup of minimal index of the congruence two subgroup $\Gamma^5_2$ of the group…

Every simple Hermitian Lie group has a unique family of spherical representations induced from a maximal parabolic subgroup whose unipotent radical is a Heisenberg group. For most Hermitian groups, this family contains a complementary…

We prove that the lamplighter group admits an injective Lipschitz map to any finitely generated metabelian group which is not virtually nilpotent. This implies that finitely generated metabelian groups satisfy the ``analytically…

Let $\mathbb F=\mathbb R$, $\mathbb C$ or $\mathbb H$. Let ${\bf H}_{\mathbb F}^n$ denote the $n$-dimensional $\mathbb F$-hyperbolic space. Let ${\rm U}(n,1; \mathbb F)$ be the linear group that acts by the isometries. A subgroup $G$ of…

In a discrete group generated by hyperplane reflections in the $n$-dimensional hyperbolic space, the reflection length of an element is the minimal number of hyperplane reflections in the group that suffices to factor the element. For a…
