We use differential forms on loop spaces to prove that the fundamental group of certain geometric transformation groups is infinite. Examples include both finite and infinite dimensional Lie groups. The finite dimensional examples are the…

Cosystolic expansion is a high-dimensional generalization of the Cheeger constant for simplicial complexes. Originally, this notion was motivated by the fact that it implies the topological overlapping property, but more recently it was…

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $G=\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$. We give an effective equidistribution result with precise error terms for expanding translates of pieces of horospherical orbits in $\Gamma\backslash G$. Our method of proof relies…

Let $X$ be a product of locally compact rank one Hadamard spaces and $\Gamma$ a discrete group of isometries which contains two elements projecting to a pair of independent rank one isometries in each factor. In [arXiv:1308.5584] we gave a…

Let $F$ be a local field over $\mathbf{Q}_p$ or $\mathbf{F}_p((t))$, and let $D$ be a central simple division algebra over $F$ of degree $d$. In the $p$-adic case, we assume $p>de+1$ where $e$ is the ramification degree over $\mathbf{Q}_p$;…

Let $\rho:\Gamma\rightarrow PSL_d(\mathbb{K})$ be a Zariski dense Borel-Anosov representation, for $\mathbb{K}$ equal to $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. Let $o$ be a form of signature $(p,d-p)$ on $\mathbb{K}^d$ (where $0<p<d)$. Let…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Schottky subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and let $X=\Gamma\backslash \mathbb{H}^2$ be the associated hyperbolic surface. Conditional on the generalized Riemann hypothesis for quadratic $L$-functions, we establish a…

We define a notion of relative soficity for countable groups with respect to a family of groups. A group is sofic if and only if it is relative sofic with respect to the family consisting only of the trivial group. If a group is relatively…

If $A_\Gamma$ ($W_\Gamma$) is the Artin (Coxeter) group with defining graph $\Gamma$ we denote by $Sim(\Gamma)$ the number of vertices of the largest clique in $\Gamma$. We show that $asdimA_\Gamma \leq Sim(\Gamma)$, if $Sim(\Gamma)=2$. We…

We prove a statement concerning hyperlinearity for central extensions of property (T) groups in the presence of flexible HS-stability, and more generally, weak ucp-stability. Notably, this result is applied to show that if $\text{Sp}_{2g}…

We consider two basic problems of algebraic topology, the extension problem and the computation of higher homotopy groups, from the point of view of computability and computational complexity. The extension problem is the following: Given…

Let L be a Lie group and Lambda a lattice in L. Suppose G is a non-compact simple Lie group realized as a Lie subgroup of L, and the image of G on L/Lambda is dense. Let c be a diagonalizable element of G not contained in a compact…

We prove the equality $\dTC(\Gamma)=\TC(\Gamma)$ for distributional topological complexity of torsion free hyperbolic and of torsion free nilpotent groups. For the distributional topological complexity of lens spaces we prove the inequality…

It is a central prediction of renormalisation group theory that the critical behaviours of many statistical mechanics models on Euclidean lattices depend only on the dimension and not on the specific choice of lattice. We investigate the…

We analytically compute asymptotic expansions of a 1-dimensional sub-manifold of stable and unstable manifolds in a 4-dimensional symplectic mapping by using the method called asymptotic expansions beyond all orders. This method enables us…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of excellent extension of rings. Let $\Gamma$ be an excellent extension of an artin algebra $\Lambda$, we prove that $\Lambda$ satisfies the Gorenstein symmetry conjecture (resp. finitistic dimension…

We study the connection between the fundamental groups of complex hyperbolic manifolds and those of spaces arising from the (relative) strict hyperbolization process due to Charney--Davis and Davis--Januszkiewicz--Weinberger. Viewing a…

For a finite lattice $\Lambda$, $\Lambda$-ultrametric spaces are a convenient language for describing structures equipped with a family of equivalence relations. When $\Lambda$ is finite and distributive, there exists a generic…

We construct a canonical extension for strong proximity lattices in order to give an algebraic, point-free description of a finitary duality for stably compact spaces. In this setting not only morphisms, but also objects may have distinct…

We establish new strong lower bounds on the (subnormal) subgroup growth of a large class of groups. This includes the fundamental groups of all finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifolds and all (free non-abelian)-by-cyclic groups. The lower…
