Recently, W. M. Schmidt and L. Summerer introduced a new theory which allowed them to recover the main known inequalities relating the usual exponents of Diophantine approximation to a point in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and to discover new ones. They…

For a Baumslag-Solitar group $G$ we calculate the intersection $\gamma_w(G)$ of all terms of the lower central sequence of $G$.Using this we are able to show that $[\gamma_w(G),G]=\gamma_w(G)$ thus answering a question of Bardakov and…

We propose a quantitative notion of permutation stability for finitely generated groups. Our notion is related to, but distinct from, the ``stability rate'' introduced by Becker and Mosheiff (which is valid within the class of finitely…

By considering `coloured' braid group representation we have obtained a quantum group, which reduces to the standard $GL_q(2)$ and $GL_{p,q}(2)$ cases at some particular limits of the `colour' parameters. In spite of quite complicated…

We consider the small quantum group u_q(G), for an almost-simple algebraic group G over the complex numbers and a root of unity q of sufficiently large order. We show that the Balmer spectrum for the small quantum group in type A admits a…

Let $X$ be an irreducible smooth projective curve, defined over an algebraically closed field $k$, of genus at least three and $L$ a line bundle on $X$. Let ${\mathcal M}_X(r,L)$ be the moduli space of stable vector bundles on $X$ of rank…

Let $G$ be an almost simple group. We prove that if $x \in G$ has prime order $p \ge 5$, then there exists an involution $y$ such that $<x,y>$ is not solvable. Also, if $x$ is an involution then there exist three conjugates of $x$ that…

We give very precise bounds for the congruence subgroup growth of arithmetic groups. This allows us to determine the subgroup growth of irreducible lattices of semisimple Lie groups. In the most general case our results depend on the…

We consider box spaces of finitely generated, residually finite groups $G$, and try to distinguish them up to coarse equivalence. We show that, for $n\geq 2$, the group $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$ has a continuum of box spaces which are pairwise…

We study irreducible specializations, in particular when group-preserving specializations may not exist. We obtain a criterion in terms of embedding problems. We include several applications to analogs of Schinzel's hypothesis H and to the…

We use the kernel category to give a finiteness condition for semigroups. As a consequence we provide yet another proof that finitely generated periodic semigroups of matrices are finite.

Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…

We introduce a new topological invariant of a rigidly-compactly generated tensor-triangulated category and two new notions of support. The first is based on smashing subcategories: it is unknown whether the frame of smashing subcategories…

We study the problem of finding generators for the fundamental group G of a space of the following sort: one removes a family of complex hyperplanes from n dimensional complex vector space, or n dimensional complex hyperbolic space, or the…

Let $\mathscr{C}$ be a symmetric tensor category of moderate growth, and let $\mathcal{H}\subseteq\mathcal{G}$ be algebraic groups in $\mathscr{C}$. We prove that the homogeneous space $\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{H}$ exists and is of finite type…

Let $Q$ be an acyclic quiver, it is classical that certain truncations of the translation quiver $\mathbb Z Q$ appear in the Auslander-Reiten quiver of the path algebra $kQ$. The stable $n$-translation quiver $\mathbb Z|_{n-1} Q$ is…

In this paper we consider reduction maps $r_{v} : K_{2n+1}(F)/C_{F} \to K_{2n+1}(\kappa_{v})_{l}$ where $F$ is a number field and $C_{F}$ denotes the subgroup of $K_{2n+1}(F)$ generated by $l$-parts (for all primes $l$) of kernels of the…

We address some conjectures and open problems in "analysis of symmetries" which include the study of non-commutative harmonic analysis and discontinuous groups for reductive homogeneous spaces beyond the classical framework: (1) discrete…

We determine the smallest irreducible Brauer characters for finite quasi-simple orthogonal type groups in non-defining characteristic. Under some restrictions on the characteristic we also prove a gap result showing that the next larger…

If matrices almost satisfying a group relation are close to matrices exactly satisfying the relation, then we say that a group is matricially stable. Here "almost" and "close" are in terms of the Hilbert-Schmidt norm. Using tracial 2-norm…
