Let X=Gamma\G/K be an arithmetic quotient of a symmetric space of non-compact type. In the case that G has Q-rank 1, we construct Gamma-equivariant deformation retractions of D=G/K onto a set D_0. We prove that D_0 is a spine, having…
Relational semigroups with domain and range are a useful tool for modelling nondeterministic programs. We prove that the representation class of domain-range semigroups with demonic composition is not finitely axiomatisable. We extend the…
We investigate correspondence functors, namely the functors from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of $k$-modules, where $k$ is a commutative ring.They have various specific properties which do not hold for…
Let $G$ be a connected and simply connected semisimple algebraic group over $\Bbb Q$ and let $\Gamma\subset G(\Bbb Q)$ be an arithmetic subgroup. Let $K_\infty\subset G(\Bbb R)$ be a maximal compact subgroup and let $d$ be the dimension of…
We study questions related to critical points of the Green's function of a bounded multiply connected domain in the complex plane. The motion of critical points, their limiting positions as the pole approaches the boundary and the…
Let $G$ be the multiplicative group generated by the gamma functions $\Gamma(ax+1)$ $(a=1,2,\dots)$, and $H$ be the subgroup of all elements of $G$ that converge to nonzero constants as $x\rightarrow\infty$. The quotient group $G/H$ is the…

A contragenic function in a domain $\Omega\subseteq\mathbf{R}^3$ is a reduced-quaternion-valued (i.e. the last coordinate function is zero) harmonic function, which is orthogonal in $L^2(\Omega)$ to all monogenic functions and their…
Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface of genus at least two. Consider the composition of a uniformly random element of $\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma,S_n)$ with the $(n-1)$-dimensional irreducible representation of…
A few pages in Siegel describe how, starting with a fundamental polygon for a compact Riemann surface, one can construct a symplectic basis of its homology. This note retells that construction, specializing to the case where the surface is…
Suppose that $\tilde{G}$ is a connected reductive group defined over a field $k$, and $\Gamma$ is a finite group acting via $k$-automorphisms of $\tilde{G}$ satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the connected part of the…
In this paper, we study the zero sets of the confluent hypergeometric function $_{1}F_{1}(\alpha;\gamma;z):=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(\alpha)_{n}}{n!(\gamma)_{n}}z^{n}$, where $\alpha, \gamma, \gamma-\alpha\not\in \mathbb{Z}_{\leq 0}$, and…
In this article we generalize the theory of subgroup graphs of subgroups of free groups to finite index subgroups $H$ of finitely generated groups $G$. We study and prove various properties of $H$ in relation to its subgroup graph…
Relatively little is known about the arithmetic properties of Gamma-function derivatives evaluated at arbitrary points $q\in\mathbb{Q}\setminus\mathbb{Z}_{\leq0}$. In recent work, we showed that the sequence…
We address two questions of Simon Thomas. First, we show that for any n>2 one can find a four generated free subgroup of SLn(Z) which is profinitely dense. More generally, we show that an arithmetic group \Gamma which admits the congruence…
For a Riemannian covering $M_1\to M_0$ of complete Riemannian manifolds with boundary (possibly empty) and respective fundamental groups $\Gamma_1\subseteq\Gamma_0$, we show that the bottoms of the spectra of $M_0$ and $M_1$ coincide if the…
In an earlier paper the authors proved that limits of convergent graph sequences can be described by various structures, including certain 2-variable real functions called graphons, random graph models satisfying certain consistency…
