In this paper, we consider the construction of irreducible representations of finite pattern groups in terms of Panov's associative polarization, which is a finite-field analogue of Kirillov's orbital method. Using this construction, first,…

We give an exact formula for the dimension of the variety of homomorphisms from $S_g$ to $\mathit{any}$ semisimple real algebraic group, where $S_g$ is a surface group of genus $g \geq 2$.

We prove that a $C^1-$generic symplectic diffeomorphism is either Anosov or the topological entropy is bounded from below by the supremum over the smallest positive Lyapunov exponent of the periodic points. We also prove that $C^1-$generic…

We answer in the negative a question of Hartley about representations of finite groups, by constructing examples of finite simple groups with arbitrarily large representations whose endomorphism ring consists of just the scalars. We show as…

We classify five dimensional Anosov flows with smooth decomposition which are in addition transversely symplectic. Up to finite covers and a special time change, we find exectly the suspensions of symplectic hyperbolic automorphisms of four…

We prove a generalization of Livsic's Theorem on the vanishing of the cohomology of certain types of dynamical systems. As a consequence, we strengthen a result due to Zimmer concerning algebraic hulls of Anosov actions of semisimple Lie…

We discuss dense embeddings of surface groups and fully residually free groups in topological groups. We show that a compact topological group contains a nonabelian dense free group of finite rank if and only if it contains a dense surface…

In a non-compact setting, the notion of hyperbolicity, and the associated structure of stable and unstable manifolds (for unbounded orbits), is highly dependent on the choice of metric used to define it. We consider the simplest version of…

We prove that for a homeomorphism f that is isotopic to the identity on a closed hyperbolic surface, the following are equivalent: * f acts hyperbolically on the fine curve graph; * f is isotopic to a pseudo-Anosov map relative to a finite…

We consider finite groups which admit a faithful, smooth action on an acyclic manifold of dimension three, four or five (e.g. euclidean space). Our first main result states that a finite group acting on an acyclic 3- or 4-manifold is…

This is an updated version of ANT-0253. Let F be a number field with absolute Galois group G. We associate, to each continuous, solvable C-representation of G of GO(4)-type, an automorphic form P of GL(4)/F with the same L-function. As a…

A consequence of Rapinchuk et al. is that for $S$ a closed surface of genus $g\geq 2$, the set of Hitchin representations of $\pi_1(S)$ with image in $\mathrm{SL}(n,\mathbb{Q})$ is dense in the Hitchin component. We give a dynamical proof…

We start with a small paradigm shift about group representations, namely the observation that restriction to a subgroup can be understood as an extension-of-scalars. We deduce that, given a group $G$, the derived and the stable categories…

We give a topological stability result for the action of the fundamental group of a compact manifold of negative curvature on its boundary at infinity: any nearby action of this group by homeomorphisms of the sphere is semi-conjugate to the…

We study the geometry of hyperconvex representations of hyperbolic groups in ${\rm PSL}(d,\mathbb{C})$ and establish two structural results: a group admitting a hyperconvex representation is virtually isomorphic to a Kleinian group, and its…

For each finite primitive subgroup $G$ of $\operatorname{PGL}_4(\mathbb{C})$, we find all the smooth $G$-invariant quartic surfaces. We also find all the faithful representations in $\operatorname{PGL}_4(\mathbb{C})$ of the smooth quartic…

We show that a $\mathrm{GL}(d,\mathbb{R})$ cocycle over a hyperbolic system with constant periodic data has a dominated splitting whenever the periodic data indicates it should. This implies global periodic data rigidity of generic Anosov…

Let M be a hyperbolizable, nontrivial compression body without toroidal boundary components. In this paper, we characterize which discrete and faithful representations of the fundamental group of M into PSL(2,C) are separable-stable. The…

We study the character variety of representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus $g\geq2$ into the Lie group SO(n,n+1) using Higgs bundles. For each integer $0<d\leq n(2g-2),$ we show there is a smooth connected…

A complete description of resonances for rational toral Anosov diffeomorphisms preserving certain Reinhardt domains is presented. As a consequence it is shown that every homotopy class of two-dimensional Anosov diffeomorphisms contains maps…
