We extend the spectral method for proving limit theorems to random non-uniformly expanding dynamical systems. This yields the CLT and moderate deviations principles (MDP). We show that as the amount of non-uniformity decreases the CLT rates…

We study universal groups for right-angled buildings. Inspired by Simon Smith's work on universal groups for trees, we explicitly allow local groups that are not necessarily finite nor transitive. We discuss various topological and…

We consider the local statistics of $H = V^* X V + U^* Y U$ where $V$ and $U$ are independent Haar-distributed unitary matrices, and $X$ and $Y$ are deterministic real diagonal matrices. In the bulk, we prove that the gap statistics and…

We consider strong relative property $(T)$ for pairs $(\Ga, G)$ where $\Ga$ acts on $G$. If $N$ is a connected Lie group and $\Ga$ is a group of automorphisms of $N$, we choose a finite index subgroup $\Ga ^0$ of $\Ga$ and obtain that…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the Palais-Smale Condition C to hold for the Yang-Mills functional for connections that are invariant under a Lie group action on the manifold with orbits of codimension less than or equal…

We prove that a distance-regular graph with a dominant distance is a spectral expander. The key ingredient of the proof is a new inequality on the intersection numbers. We use the spectral gap bound to study the structure of the…

We show that a relatively ergodic extension of measure-preserving dynamical systems has relative discrete spectrum if and only if it can be represented as a skew-product by a bundle of compact homogeneous spaces. Our result holds without…

We prove a sharp rate of convergence to stationarity for a natural random walk on a compact Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. The proof includes a detailed study of the spectral theory of the associated operator.

Let $V=\mathbb R^d$ be the Euclidean $d$-dimensional space, $\mu$ (resp $\lambda$) a probability measure on the linear (resp affine) group $G=G L (V)$ (resp $H= \Aff (V))$ and assume that $\mu$ is the projection of $\lambda$ on $G$. We…

We study harmonic measure in finite graphs with an emphasis on expanders, that is, positive spectral gap. It is shown that if the spectral gap is positive then for all sets that are not too large the harmonic measure from a uniform starting…

Let $\Gamma$ be an arbitrary $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic metric graph, which does not coincide with a line. We consider the Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}_\varepsilon$ on $\Gamma$ with the action $-\varepsilon^{-1}{\mathrm{d}^2/\mathrm{d} x^2}$ on…

A compact topological space X is spectral if it is sober (i.e., every irreducible closed set is the closure of a unique singleton) and the compact open subsets of X form a basis of the topology of X, closed under finite intersections.…

Let X_1,X_2,... be independent identically distributed random elements of a compact group G. We discuss the speed of convergence of the law of the product X_l*...*X_1 to the Haar measure. We give poly-log estimates for certain finite groups…

Let $X$ be a locally compact Abelian group, $Y$ be its character group. Following A. Kagan and G. Sz\'ekely we introduce a notion of $Q$-independence for random variables with values in $X$. We prove group analogues of the Cram\'er,…

We construct new examples of expander Cayley graphs of finite groups, arising as congruence quotients of non-elementary subgroups of $SL_2 (\mathbb{F}_p [t])$ modulo certain square-free ideals. We describe some applications of our results…

The aim of this article is to give a simple geometric condition that guarantees the existence of spectral gaps of the discrete Laplacian on periodic graphs. For proving this, we analyse the discrete magnetic Laplacian (DML) on the finite…

For a fixed quadratic polynomial $\mathfrak{p}$ in $n$ non-commuting variables, and $n$ independent $N\times N$ complex Ginibre matrices $X_1^N,\dots, X_n^N$, we establish the convergence of the empirical spectral distribution of $P^N…

\.{Z}uk proved that if a finitely generated group admits a Cayley graph such that the Laplacian on the links of this Cayley graph has a spectral gap $> \frac{1}{2}$, then the group has property (T), or equivalently, every affine isometric…

We extend results of Y. Benoist and J.-F. Quint concerning random walks on homogeneous spaces of simple Lie groups to the case where the measure defining the random walk generates a semigroup which is not necessarily Zariski dense, but…

Let $\nu$ be a probability distribution over the semi-group of square matrices of size $d \ge 2$ over a locally compact field $\mathbb{K}$, \textit{e.g.} $\mathbb{R}$. We consider the random walk $\overline{\gamma}_n :=…
