When we consider the action of a finite group on a polynomial ring, a polynomial unchanged by the action is called an invariant polynomial. A famous result of Noether states that in characteristic zero the maximal degree of a minimal…

All known examples of homogeneous Einstein metrics of negative Ricci curvature can be realized as left-invariant Riemannian metrics on solvable Lie groups. After defining a notion of maximal symmetry among left-invariant Riemannian metrics…

We study the sub-Riemannian structure determined by a left-invariant distribution of rank 2 on a step 3 Carnot group of dimension 5. We prove the conjectured cut times of Y. Sachkov for the sub-Riemannian Cartan problem. Along the proof, we…

We develop a representation theoretic technique for detecting closed orbits that is applicable in all characteristics. Our technique is based on Kempf's theory of optimal subgroups and we make some improvements and simplify the theory from…

We lay out the theory of a multiplicity in the setting of a triangulated category having a central ring action from a graded-commutative ring $R$, in other words, an $R$-linear triangulated category. The invariant we consider is modelled on…

Let $X$ be a nonempty real variety that is invariant under the action of a reflection group $G$. We conjecture that if $X$ is defined in terms of the first $k$ basic invariants of $G$ (ordered by degree), then $X$ meets a $k$-dimensional…

The modular invariant of rank 1 Drinfeld modules is introduced and used to formulate and prove an exact analog of the Weber-Fueter theorem for global function fields. The main ingredient in the proof is a version of Shimura's Main Theorem…

We introduce the new notion of general bilinear forms (generalizing sesquilinear forms) and prove that for every ring $R$ (not necessarily commutative, possibly without involution) and every right $R$-module $M$ which is a generator (i.e.…

We introduce higher-order support varieties for pairs of modules over a commutative local complete intersection ring, and give a complete description of which varieties occur as such support varieties. In the context of a group algebra of a…

For $K$ a field, consider a finite subgroup $G$ of $\operatorname{GL}_n(K)$ with its natural action on the polynomial ring $R:=K[x_1,\dots,x_n]$. Let $\mathfrak{n}$ denote the homogeneous maximal ideal of the ring of invariants $R^G$. We…

Let $(M,\tau,\sigma,\Gamma)$ be a (finite) von Neumann dynamical system and let $N$ be a $\Gamma$-invariant unital von Neumann subalgebra of $M$. If $V\subset L^2(M)$ is a right $N$-submodule whose projection $p_V$ has finite trace in $<…

This work addresses the questions: (i) Among all left-invariant Riemannian metrics on a given Lie group, is there any whose isometry group or isometry algebra contain that of all others? (ii) Do expanding left-invariant Ricci solitons…

In this paper, we consider a closed Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ with dimension $3\leq n+1\leq 7$, and a compact Lie group $G$ acting as isometries on $M$ with cohomogeneity at least $3$. After adapting the Almgren-Pitts min-max theory to…

We derive sharp estimates comparing asymptotic Riemannian or sub-Riemannian metrics in 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. For each metric, we construct a Carnot metric whose square remains at bounded distance from the square of the original…

We prove a Freiman--Ruzsa-type theorem with polynomial bounds in arbitrary abelian groups with bounded torsion, thereby proving (in full generality) a conjecture of Marton. Specifically, let $G$ be an abelian group of torsion $m$ (meaning…

We present the theory of higher order invariants and higher order automorphic forms in the simplest case, that of a compact quotient. In this case many things simplify and we are thus able to prove a more precise structure theorem than in…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of invariant submodule in the theory of Hilbert C*-modules and study some basic properties of bounded adjointable operators and their generalized inverses which have nontrivial invariant submodules. We…
