We give counterexamples to a question of Bowditch that if a non-elementary type-preserving representation $\rho:\pi_1(\Sigma_{g,n})\rightarrow PSL(2;\mathbb R)$ of a punctured surface group sends every non-peripheral simple closed curve to…

Let $M^{0}$ be a complete hyperbolic $3$-manifold whose conformal boundary is a closed Riemann surface $S$ of genus $g \geq 2$. If $M=M^{0} \cup S$, then let ${\rm Aut}(S;M)$ be the group of conformal automorphisms of $S$ which extend to…

We explore connections between boundary representations of operator spaces and those of the associated Paulsen systems. Using the notions of finite representation and separating property which we introduced, boundary representations for…

Under mild topological restrictions, we obtain new linear upper bounds for the dimension of the mod $p$ homology (for any prime $p$) of a finite-volume orientable hyperbolic $3$ manifold $M$ in terms of its volume. A surprising feature of…

We establish relations between representation dimensions of two algebras connected by a Frobenius bimodule or extension. Consequently, upper bounds and equality formulas for representation dimensions of group algebras, symmetric separably…

Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra generated by some separable operator system $S$. More than a decade ago, Arveson conjectured that $S$ is hyperrigid in $A$ if all irreducible representations of $A$ are boundary representations for $S$.…

We introduce a natural stratification of the space of projective classes of measured laminations on a complete hyperbolic surface of finite area. We prove a rigidity result, namely, the group of self-homeomorphisms of the space of…

Let $N_{g,s}$ denote the nonorientable surface of genus g with s boundary components. Recently Paris and Szepietowski obtained an explicit finite presentation for the mapping class group $M(N_{g,s})$ of the surface $N_{g,s}$, where…

We consider volume-preserving flows $(\Phi^f_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ on $S\times \mathbb{R}$, where $S$ is a closed connected surface of genus $g\geq 2$ and $(\Phi^f_t)_{t\in\mathbb{R}}$ has the form $\Phi^f_t(x,y)=(\phi_tx,y+\int_0^t…

In this note the smooth (i.e. with open stabilizers) linear and {\sl semilinear} representations of certain permutation groups (such as infinite symmetric group or automorphism group of an infinite-dimensional vector space over a finite…

We study the ergodicity of partially hyperbolic endomorphisms, focusing on skew products where the base dynamics are governed by Anosov endomorphisms. For this family, we establish ergodicity and prove that accessibility holds for an open…

We show that if G is an admissible group acting geometrically on a CAT(0) space X, then G is a hierarchically hyperbolic space and with mild assumptions the sublinearly-Morse boundary of the group is a topological model for associated…

A decorated surface S is an oriented topological surface with marked points on the boundary considered modulo the isotopy. We consider the moduli space of hyperbolic structures on S with geodesic boundary, such that the hyperbolic structure…

This Ph.D. thesis belongs to the realm of mod $p$ representation theory of $p$-adic groups. The main object of study is the inner form of the general linear group $\mathrm{GL}(m,D)$ where $D$ is a division algebra over a non-Archimedean…

We prove the irreducibility of the space parametrizing branched covers of a fixed Riemann surface $B$ of degree $d$, with at least 2d branch points, and with monodromy group equal to $S_d$. The result is classical for $g(B)=0$. The result…

We establish uniform bounds on the multiplicities of irreducible admissible representations appearing in spaces of functions on symmetric spaces over $p$-adic fields. These multiplicities can exceed one and depend intricately on the group,…

Let $\mathrm{Mod}(S_g)$ be the mapping class group of the closed orientable surface of genus $g \geq 1$. For $k \geq 2$, we consider the standard $k$-sheeted regular cover $p_k: S_{k(g-1)+1} \to S_g$, and analyze the liftable mapping class…

Let $S$ be an oriented closed surface of genus at least two, and let $M = S \times (0,1)$. Suppose that $h$ is a Riemannian metric on $S$ with curvature strictly greater than $-1$, $h^{*}$ is a Riemannian metric on $S$ with curvature…

The Geometrical Lemma is a classical result in the theory of (complex) smooth representations of $p$-adic reductive groups, which helps to analyze the parabolic restriction of a parabolically induced representation by providing a filtration…
