We prove that a C$^*$-algebra $A$ has uniform property $\Gamma$ if the set of extremal tracial states, $\partial_e T(A)$, is a non-empty compact space of finite covering dimension and for each $\tau \in \partial_e T(A)$, the von Neumann…

A perfect code in a graph $\Gamma$ is a subset $C$ of $V(\Gamma)$ such that no two vertices in $C$ are adjacent and every vertex in $V(\Gamma)\setminus C$ is adjacent to exactly one vertex in $C$. Let $G$ be a finite group and $C$ a subset…

For a graph $\Gamma$, the multiplicity of the eigenvalue $0$, denoted by $\eta(\Gamma)$, is called the nullity of $\Gamma$. Also the energy of $\Gamma$, denoted by $\mathcal{E}(\Gamma)$, is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the…

Recent results of Hindman, Leader and Strauss and of the second author and Rinot showed that some natural analogs of Hindman's Theorem fail for all uncountable cardinals. Results in the positive direction were obtained by Komj\'ath, the…

We will say that an Abelian group $\Gamma$ of order $n$ has the $m$-\emph{zero-sum-partition property} ($m$-\textit{ZSP-property}) if $m$ divides $n$, $m\geq 2$ and there is a partition of $\Gamma$ into pairwise disjoint subsets $A_1,…

Let \Gamma(n,p) denote the binomial model of a random triangular group. We show that there exist constants c, C > 0 such that if p <= c/n^2, then a.a.s. \Gamma(n,p) is free and if p >= C log n/n^2 then a.a.s. \Gamma(n,p) has Kazhdan's…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group. We say that $\Gamma$ has $C^*$-invariant subalgebra rigidity (ISR) property if every $\Gamma$-invariant $C^*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{A}\le C_r^*(\Gamma)$ is of the form $C_r^*(N)$ for some normal…

We prove a general version of the amenability conjecture in the unified setting of a Gromov hyperbolic group G acting properly cocompactly either on its Cayley graph, or on a CAT(-1)-space. Namely, for any subgroup H of G, we show that H is…

In this paper, we generalize Bonahon's characterization of geometrically infinite torsion-free discrete subgroups of PSL(2, $\mathbb{C}$) to geometrically infinite discrete subgroups $\Gamma$ of isometries of negatively pinched Hadamard…

Given a finite group $G$, the generating graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ has as vertices the (nontrivial) elements of $G$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are distinct and generate $G$ as group elements. In this paper we…

In this paper we find the fusion rules of the free wreath products $\widehat{\Gamma}\wr_*S_N^+$ for any (discrete) group $\Gamma$. To do this we describe the spaces of intertwiners between basic corepresentations which allows us to identify…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of a discrete (countable) group $\Gamma$. We introduce a notion of relative inner amenability of $G$ in $\Gamma$, we prove some equivalent conditions and provide examples as well as counter-examples. We also discuss…

We say that a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ satisfies the invariant von Neumann subalgebras rigidity (ISR) property if every $\Gamma$- invariant von Neumann subalgebra $\mathcal{M}$ in $L(\Gamma)$ is of the form $L(\Lambda)$ for some…

This paper is devoted to the computation of the space $H_b^2(\Gamma,H;\mathbb{R})$, where $\Gamma$ is a free group of finite rank $n\geq 2$ and $H$ is a subgroup of finite rank. More precisely we prove that $H$ has infinite index in…

Let G be the group of points of a quasi-split reductive algebraic group over a local field F. It follows from the local Langlands conjectures that to every non-trivial additive character of F and every representation of the Langlands dual…

We discuss a model for phase transitions in which a double-well potential is singularly perturbed by possibly several terms involving different, arbitrarily high orders of derivation. We study by $\Gamma$-convergence the asymptotic…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the fundamental group of the space of Heegaard splittings of an irreducible $3$-manifold to be finitely generated. The condition is exactly the conclusion of the thick isotopy lemma proved by…

Let M = H^3 / \Gamma be a hyperbolic 3-manifold of finite volume. We show that if H and K are abelian subgroups of \Gamma and g is in \Gamma, then the double coset HgK is separable in \Gamma. As a consequence we prove that if M is a closed,…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold. When $\Gamma$ is a group acting on the manifold $M$ by diffeomorphisms one can define the $\Gamma$-co-invariant cohomology of $M$ to be the cohomology of the differential complex…

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian simple group, $C$ a non-identity conjugacy class of $G$, and $\Gamma_C$ the Cayley graph of $G$ based on $C \cup C^{-1}$. Our main result shows that in any such graph, there is an involution at bounded…
