In the first paper of this series (arxiv.org/abs/1210.2961) we studied the asymptotic behavior of Betti numbers, twisted torsion and other spectral invariants for sequences of lattices in Lie groups G. A key element of our work was the…
Let p be an odd prime, K a finite extension of Q_p, G=Gal(\bar K/K) the Galois group and e=e(K/Q_p) the ramification index. Suppose T is a p^n torsion representation such that T is isomorphic to a quotient of two G-stable Z_p-lattices in a…
Let $\Gamma\subset \mathsf{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$ be a lattice and $\rho:\Gamma\to \mathsf{Sp}(2n,\mathbb{R})$ be a maximal representation. We show that $\rho$ satisfies a measurable $(1,1,2)-$hypertransversality condition. With this we define…
We obtain a computational realization of the strong approximation theorem. That is, we develop algorithms to compute all congruence quotients modulo rational primes of a finitely generated Zariski dense group $H \leq \mathrm{SL}(n,…
We prove that every lattice in a product of higher rank simple Lie groups or higher rank simple algebraic groups over local fields has Vincent Lafforgue's strong property (T). Over non-archimedean local fields, we also prove that they have…
We introduce robust families of submanifolds for a linear Lie group $G$. We show that they give rise to geometric subspaces of the representation space ${\rm Hom}(\Gamma,G)$. As an application, we give a unified short proof of results of…
We prove universality theorems ("Murphy's Laws") for representation schemes of fundamental groups of closed 3-dimensional manifolds. We show that germs of SL(2,C)-representation schemes of such groups are essentially the same as germs of…
Chern-Simons Theories with gauge super-groups appear naturally in string theory and they possess interesting applications in mathematics, e.g. for the construction of knot and link invariants. This paper is the first in a series where we…
We study the derived tensor product of the representation rings of subgroups of a given compact Lie group G. That is, given two such subgroups H_1 and H_2, we study the tensor product of the associated representation rings R(H_1) and R(H_2)…
First let $G$ be a completely solvable Lie group. We recall the proof of the following result: Any closed subgroup of $G$ possesses a unique syndetic hull in $G$. As a consequence we conclude that any uniform subgroup $\Gamma$ of $G$ is…
Let $G$ be a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over $\mathbb{C}$ and let $\rho :G\rightarrow GL(V_\lambda)$ be an irreducible representation of highest weight $\lambda$. Suppose that $\rho$ has finite kernel. Springer defined…
We prove that if $G$ is a free-torsion group and $w(t)$ is a word in the alphabet $G \sqcup \{t^{\pm 1}\}$ with exponent sum one, then the group $<G,t|(w(t))^k = 1>$, where $k \geq 2$, is relatively hyperbolic with respect to $G$.
For $i=1,\ldots,k$, let $\mathbf{G}_i$ be a connected, simply connected, semisimple algebraic group over some local field $\kappa_i$ of characteristic zero. Let $G_i=\mathbf{G}_i(\kappa_i)$ be the $\kappa_i$-points of $\mathbf{G}_i$ and…
As advocated in hep-th/0307098 we construct the non-linear realisation of the semi-direct product of E11 and its first fundamental representation at lowest level from the IIA viewpoint. We find a theory that is SO(10,10)x GL(1) invariant…
In [MzM] we defined a regularized analytic torsion for quotients of the symmetric space $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SO}(n)$ by arithmetic lattices. In this paper we study the limiting behaviour of the analytic torsion as the lattices…
Given two algebraic groups $G$, $H$ over a field $k$, we investigate the representability of the functor of morphisms (of schemes) $\mathbf{Hom}(G,H)$ and the subfunctor of homomorphisms (of algebraic groups) $\mathbf{Hom}_{\rm gp}(G,H)$.…
We prove an ergodic theorem for the rotation number of the composition of a sequence os stationary random homeomorphisms in $S^{1}$. In particular, the concept of rotation number of a matrix $g\in Gl^{+}(2,{\R})$ can be generalized to a…
Let $G=$SL$(2,R)\ltimes(R^2)^{\oplus k}$ and let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of SL$(2,Z)\ltimes(Z^2)^{\oplus k}$. We prove a polynomially effective asymptotic equidistribution result for special types of unipotent orbits in…
We calculate the rational representation-ring-graded stable stems for rank 1 groups, SU(2), SO(3), Pin (2), O(2), Spin(2) and SO(2), in the same spirit as the calculations for finite groups in arXiv:2205.02382 with J.D.Quigley. This…
The aim of this note is to advertise on a result, not stated explicitly, but proved, in arXiv:0802.0512. Namely, if $\Gamma$ is any group, if $\rho_1$, $\rho_2$ are representations of $\Gamma$ in $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, one of them…
