We show that (with one possible exception) there exist strongly dense free subgroups in any semisimple algebraic group over a large enough field. These are nonabelian free subgroups all of whose subgroups are either cyclic or Zariski dense.…
Many authors have constructed different, but related, linear group cocycles that are usually referred to as ``Eisenstein cocycles.'' The main goal of this work is to describe a topological construction that is a common source for all these…
We study two long-standing conjectures concerning lower bounds for the Betti numbers of a graded module over a polynomial ring. We prove new cases of these conjectures in codimensions five and six by reframing the conjectures as arithmetic…
For every $k\in \mathbb{N}$, we produce a set of integers which is $k$-recurrent but not $(k+1)$-recurrent. This extends a result of Furstenberg who produced a 1-recurrent set which is not 2-recurrent. We discuss a similar result for…
We exhibit proofs of two ergodic-theoretic results in the study of multiple recurrence using an analog of the density-increment argument of Roth and Gowers: Furstenberg's Multiple Recurrence Theorem (which implies Szemer\'edi's Theorem),…
We study the projective derivative as a cocycle of M\"obius transformations over groups of circle diffeomorphisms. By computing precise expressions for this cocycle, we obtain several results about reducibility and almost reducibility to a…
We study an ergodic theorem for disjoint C*-dynamical systems, where disjointness here is a noncommutative version of the concept introduced by Furstenberg for classical dynamical systems. This is applied to W*-dynamical systems. We also…
Let X be a connected open set in n-dimensional Euclidean space, partially ordered by a closed convex cone K with nonempty interior: y > x if and only if y-x is nonzero and in K. Theorem: If F is a monotone local flow in X whose periodic…
In this article, we give a class of examples of compact quantum groups and unitary 2-cocycles on them, such that the twisted quantum groups are non-compact, but still locally compact quantum groups (in the sense of Kustermans and Vaes).…
We explicitly show that symmetric Frobenius structures on a finite-dimensional, semi-simple algebra stand in bijection to homotopy fixed points of the trivial SO(2)-action on the bicategory of finite-dimensional, semi-simple algebras,…
We present a general setting to investigate U_fin-cocycle superrigidity for Gaussian actions in terms of closable derivations on von Neumann algebras. In this setting we give new proofs to some U_fin-cocycle superrigidity results of S. Popa…
A cohomology theory for multiplications and comultiplications of Frobenius algebras is developed in low dimensions in analogy with Hochschild cohomology of bialgebras based on deformation theory. Concrete computations are provided for key…
Suppose $L$ is a semisimple Levi subgroup of a connected Lie group~$G$, $X$ is a Borel $G$-space with finite invariant measure, and $\alpha \colon X \times G \to \GL_n(\real)$ is a Borel cocycle. Assume $L$ has finite center, and that the…
We establish a version of the Furstenberg-Katznelson multi-dimensional Szemer\'edi in the primes ${\mathcal P} := \{2,3,5,\ldots\}$, which roughly speaking asserts that any dense subset of ${\mathcal P}^d$ contains constellations of any…
Let (X,d) be a metric space and (\Omega, d) a compact subspace of X which supports a non-atomic finite measure m. We consider `natural' classes of badly approximable subsets of \Omega. Loosely speaking, these consist of points in \Omega…
The paper investigates a significant part of the automorphic, in fact of the so-called Eisenstein cohomology of split odd orthogonal groups over Q. The main result provides a description of residual and regular Eisenstein cohomology classes…
This paper concerns the study of some special ordered structures in turbulent flows. In particular, a systematic and relevant methodology is proposed to construct non trivial and non radial rotating vortices with non necessarily uniform…
In this paper we study Holder continuous linear cocycles over transitive Anosov diffeomorphisms. Under various conditions of relative pinching we establish properties including existence and continuity of measurable invariant sub-bundles…
Let $S$ and $T$ be hyperbolic endomorphisms of $\mathbb{T}^d$ with the property that the span of the subspace contracted by $S$ along with the subspace contracted by $T$ is $\mathbb{R}^d$. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of the…
Let $ (\Theta,T,\mu) $ be an ergodic topological dynamical system. The fibered rotation number for cocycles in $ \Theta\times \mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R}) $, acting on $ \Theta\times \mathbb{R}\mathbb{P}^1 $ is well-defined and has wide…
