We announce results about the structure and arithmeticity of all possible lattice embeddings of a class of countable groups which encompasses all linear groups with simple Zariski closure, all groups with non-vanishing first l2-Betti…
These are the notes for some lectures given by this author at Harish-Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad in March 2014 for a workshop on Schur multipliers. The lectures aimed at giving an overview of the subject with emphasis on groups of…
We revisit Margulis-Zimmer Super-Rigidity and provide some generalizations. In particular we obtain super-rigidity results for lattices in higher-rank groups or product of groups, targeting at algebraic groups over arbitrary fields with…
These are notes from my lecture at 4ECM in Stockholm (June 2004).
These notes are devoted to lattices in products of trees and related topics. They provide an introduction to the construction, by M. Burger and S. Mozes, of examples of such lattices that are simple as abstract groups. Two features of that…
These notes are a record of lectures given in the Workshop on Connections Between Algebra and Geometry at the University of Regina, May 29--June 1, 2012. The lectures were meant as an introduction to current research problems related to fat…
Some very elementary ideas about quantum groups and quantum algebras are introduced and a few examples of their physical applications are mentioned.
This is an expository article based on my lectures on eigenfunctions of the Laplacian for the 2013 IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) summer school in geometric analysis. Many of the results are based on joint work with H.…
These lecture notes (from the Second Autumn School in High Energy Physics and Quantum Field Theory, Yerevan 2014) cover a number of topics related to geometric quantization. Most of the material is presented from a physicist's point of…
We introduce a class of countable groups by some abstract group-theoretic conditions. It includes linear groups with finite amenable radical and finitely generated residually finite groups with some non-vanishing $\ell^2$-Betti numbers that…
These notes are based on a series of lectures given by the author at the Centre Bernoulli (EPFL) in July 2016. They aim at illustrating the importance of the mod-$\ell$ cohomology of Deligne--Lusztig varieties in the modular representation…
The purpose of this informal article is to introduce the reader to some of the objects and methods of the theory of p-adic representations. My hope is that students and mathematicians who are new to the subject will find it useful as a…
These notes include introductory material on the notion of splitting fields for modules over a k-algebra where k is a field.
These are lecture notes of the course in infinity categories given in the fall 2016 at Weizmann Institute.
These are the notes of some lectures given by the author for a workshop held at TIFR, Mumbai in December, 2011, giving an exposition of the Deligne-Lusztig theory.
This is a paper in Analytic Topology.
I study flux groups of compact symplectic manifolds. Under some topological assumptions, I give a new estimate of the rank of flux groups and give a method of construcion of compact symplectic aspherical manifolds.
Ferrers graphs and tables of partitions are treated as vectors. Matrix operations are used for simple proofs of identities concerning partitions. Interpreting partitions as vectors gives a possibility to generalize partitions on negative…
These notes give a short introduction to finite Coxeter groups, their classification, and some parts of their representation theory, with a focus on the infinite families. They are based on lectures delivered by the author at the…
These notes, connected to a "potpourri" topics class currently underway, discuss some basic topics in analysis and connections with other areas of mathematics.
