We prove that the universal lattices -- the groups $G=\SL_d(R)$ where $R=\Z[x_1,...,x_k]$, have property $\tau$ for $d\geq 3$. This provides the first example of linear groups with $\tau$ which do not come from arithmetic groups. We also…

We establish, in the setting of Arakelov geometry over adelic curves, an arithmetic Hilbert-Samuel theorem describing the asymptotic behaviour of the metrized graded linear series of an adelic line bundle in terms of its arithmetic…

A sequence $A$ of positive integers having the property that no element $a_i \in A$ divides the sum $a_j+a_k$ of two larger elements is said to have `Property P'. We construct an infinite set $S\subset \mathbb{N}$ having Property P with…

Let G be a compact connected Lie group with maximal torus T, and H a closed subgroup containing T . We work out the Atiyah--Bott--Berline--Vergne localization formula for the homogeneous space G/H under the natural action of the maximal…

We construct a wealth of groups that are finitely presented, Frobenius stable, have property (T), but are very far from having property (T$_2$). Our method also shows that property (T$_2$) does not pass to quotients.

In this paper, we prove a criterion of elementary equivalence of stable linear groups over fields of characteristic two.

We prove effective equidistribution theorems, with polynomial error rate, for orbits of the unipotent subgroups of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$ in arithmetic quotients of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb C)$ and $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb…

In this book, we study equidistribution and counting problems concerning locally geodesic arcs in negatively curved spaces endowed with potentials, and we deduce, from the special case of tree quotients, various arithmetic applications to…

Arithmetical properties of a finite group are properties of the group which are defined by its arithmetical parameters such as the order of the group, the element orders and so on. In this paper, we discuss a number of results on…

Let f be a cusp form of weight k+1/2 and at most quadratic nebentype character whose Fourier coefficients a(n) are all real. We study an equidistribution conjecture of Bruinier and Kohnen for the signs of a(n). We prove this conjecture for…

Kazhdan's property (T) has been studied for several discrete group-like structures, including standard invariants of Jones' subfactors and discrete quantum groups. We prove a Zuk-type spectral gap criterion for property (T) in this setting.…

We consider quasirandom properties for Cayley graphs of finite abelian groups. We show that having uniform edge-distribution (i.e., small discrepancy) and having large eigenvalue gap are equivalent properties for such Cayley graphs, even if…

To any finite ordered subset and any finite partition of a group a set of tuples of positive integers, named as configurations, is associated that describes the group's behavior. The present paper provides an exposition of this notion and…

We revisit the problem of fair clustering, first introduced by Chierichetti et al., that requires each protected attribute to have approximately equal representation in every cluster; i.e., a balance property. Existing solutions to fair…

We prove that the biquantization character of Cattaneo-Torossian for the reduction algebra is the character of the Penney eigendistribution from harmonic analysis on Lie groups. Part of the author's PhD thesis at University Paris 7, 2009.

We prove Tamura's theorem on partitions of the set of positive integers (a generalization of the more famous Rayleigh-Beatty theorem) using the positive $\mathbb{S}^1$-equivariant symplectic homology.

The characteristic feature of the adeles is that they involve localizations of products (or equivalently restricted products of localizations). The point of this paper is to introduce an adelic style cohomological invariant of a partially…

In this note we study how to share a good between n players in a simple and equitable way. We give a short proof for the existence of such fair divisions.

Using the formalism of polynomials with positive coefficients, the fact that exactly half of all subsets of a finite set have even cardinality can be generalized asymptotically.

We investigate the homology of finite index subgroups G_i of a given finitely presented group G. Specifically, we examine d_p(G_i), which is the dimension of the first homology of G_i, with mod p coefficients. We say that a collection of…
