Let $\Gamma \subset \operatorname{PU}(1,n)$ be a lattice, and $S_\Gamma$ the associated ball quotient. We prove that, if $S_\Gamma$ contains infinitely many maximal totally geodesic subvarieties, then $\Gamma$ is arithmetic. We also prove…
Given a germ of biholomorphism $F\in\mathrm{Diff}(\mathbb{C}^n,0)$ with a formal invariant curve $\Gamma$ such that the multiplier of the restricted formal diffeomorphism $F|_\Gamma$ is a root of unity or satisfies $|(F|_\Gamma)'(0)|<1$, we…
Let $H^n$ be the hyperbolic n-space with $n\geq 2$. Suppose that $\Gamma<Isom H^n$ is a discrete, torsion free subgroup and $a$ is a point in the domain of discontinuity $\Omega(\Gamma)$. Let $p$ be the projection map from $H^n$ to the…
Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group which is hyperbolic relative to a finite family $\{H_1,...,H_n\}$ of subgroups. We prove that $\Gamma$ is uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space if and only if each subgroup $H_i$ is uniformly…
Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a closed, orientable, hyperbolic surface $S$. The $n$-power quotient, $\Gamma(n)$, is the quotient of $\Gamma$ by the $n$th powers of simple closed curves. We prove an analogue of the…
Given a finitely-generated group G, and a finite group \Gamma, Philip Hall defined \delta_\Gamma to be the number of factor groups of G that are isomorphic to \Gamma. We show how to compute the Hall invariants by cohomological and…
Let $F\in\mathrm{Diff}(\mathbb{C}^2,0)$ be a germ of a holomorphic diffeomorphism and let $\Gamma$ be an invariant formal curve of $F$. Assume that the restricted diffeomorphism $F|_{\Gamma}$ is either hyperbolic attracting or rationally…
We show that if $\Gamma = \Gamma_1\times\dotsb\times \Gamma_n$ is a product of $n\geq 2$ non-elementary ICC hyperbolic groups then any discrete group $\Lambda$ which is $W^*$-equivalent to $\Gamma$ decomposes as a $k$-fold direct sum…
We show that every word hyperbolic, surface-by-(noncyclic) free group Gamma is as rigid as possible: the quasi-isometry group of Gamma equals the abstract commensurator group Comm(Gamma), which in turn contains Gamma as a finite index…
This is the second part of a two part work in which we prove that for every finitely generated subgroup $\Gamma < \mathsf{Out}(F_n)$, either $\Gamma$ is virtually abelian or its second bounded cohomology $H^2_b(\Gamma;\mathbb{R})$ contains…
Consider a geometrically finite Kleinian group $G$ without parabolic or elliptic elements, with its Kleinian manifold $M=(\H^3\cup \Omega_G)/G$. Suppose that for each boundary component of $M$, either a maximal and connected measured…
For any discrete, torsion-free subgroup $\Gamma$ of $\mathrm{Sp}(n,1)$ (resp.\ $\mathrm{F}_4^{-20}$) with no parabolic elements, we prove that $H_{4n-1}(\Gamma;V)=0$ (resp.\ $H_i(\Gamma;V)=0$ for $i=13,14,15$) for any $\Gamma$--module $V$.…
Let $X=S\times E \times B$ be the metric product of a symmetric space $S$ of noncompact type, a Euclidean space $E$ and a product $B$ of Euclidean buildings. Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group acting isometrically and cocompactly on $X$. We…
The Dowling geometry $Q_n(\Gamma)$, where $\Gamma$ is a finite group, is a matroid that generalizes the complete-graphic matroid $M(K_{n+1})$. We determine the maximum size of an $N$-free submatroid of $Q_n(\Gamma)$ for various choices of…
We identify the finitely many arithmetic lattices $\Gamma$ in the orientation preserving isometry group of hyperbolic $3$-space $\mathbb{H}^3$ generated by an element of order $4$ and and element of order $p\geq 2$. Thus $\Gamma$ has a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a nonelementary discrete subgroup of SU(n,1) or Sp(n,1). We show that if the trace field of $\Gamma$ is contained in $\mathbb R$, $\Gamma$ preserves a totally geodesic submanifold of constant negative sectional curvature.…

Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in $\mathrm{SO}_0(n, 1)$. We prove that if the associated locally symmetric space contains infinitely many maximal totally geodesic subspaces of dimension at least $2$, then $\Gamma$ is arithmetic. This answers a…
We say that a PDE in a Riemannian manifold $M$ is geometric if,$\ $whenever $u$ is a solution of the PDE on a domain $\Omega$ of $M$, the composition $u_{\phi}:=u\circ\phi$ is also solution on $\phi^{-1}\left( \Omega\right) $, for any…
