Let $p$ be a prime. In 2017, Kemarsky, Paulin, and Shapira (KPS) conjectured that any Laurent series over $\mathbb{F}_p$ exhibits full escape of mass with respect to any irreducible polynomial $P(t)\in\mathbb{F}_p[t]$. In 2025, this was…

We show that in positive characteristic the homogeneous probability measure supported on a periodic orbit of the diagonal group in the space of 2-lattices, when varied along rays of Hecke trees, may behave in sharp contrast to the zero…

We establish finiteness of low-dimensional actions of lattices in higher-rank semisimple Lie groups and establish Zimmer's conjecture for many such groups. This builds on previous work of the authors handling the case of actions by…

The Thue--Morse sequence $\{t(n)\}_{n\geqslant 1}$ is the indicator function of the parity of the number of ones in the binary expansion of positive integers $n$, where $t(n)=1$ (resp. $=0$) if the binary expansion of $n$ has an odd (resp.…

We consider a random walk on a second countable locally compact topological space endowed with an invariant Radon measure. We show that if the walk is symmetric and if every subset which is invariant by the walk has zero or infinite…

We study the relation between escape rates and pressure in general dynamical systems with holes, where pressure is defined to be the difference between entropy and the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents. Central to the discussion is the…

This paper naturally extends and generalizes our previous work "Thue-Morse constant is not badly approximable", arXiv:1407.3182 [math.NT]. Here we consider the Laurent series $f_d(x) = \prod_{n=0}^\infty (1 - x^{-d^n})$, $d\in\mathbb{N}$,…

We make progress on the quantum unique ergodicity (QUE) conjecture for Hecke-Maass forms on a congruence quotient of hyperbolic $4$-space, eliminating the possibility of "escape of mass" for these forms.

The Thue-Morse sequence is generalized to the $TM_m$ sequences and two equivalent definitions are given. This generalization leads to transcendental numbers and has Queff\'elec's theorem on Thue-Morse continued fractions as a special case.…

For any diagonal element $a$ with two eigenvalues, we construct a sequence of $a$-invariant probability measures on the space of unimodular lattices with high entropy but converging to the zero measure. This extends the result of Kadyrov…

On the space of unimodular lattices, we construct a sequence of invariant probability measures under a singular diagonal element with high entropy and show that the limit measure is 0.

Let $ \nu $ be a probability distribution over the linear semi-group $ \mathrm{End}(E) $ for $ E $ a finite dimensional vector space over a locally compact field. We assume that $ \nu $ is proximal, strongly irreducible and that $…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbf{Q}$. We conjecture asymptotic estimates for the number of vanishings of $L(E,1,\chi)$ as $\chi$ varies over all primitive Dirichlet characters of orders 4 and 6, subject to a mild hypothesis on…

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 :=…

We consider the evolution of a connected set in Euclidean space carried by a periodic incompressible stochastic flow. While for almost every realization of the random flow at time t most of the particles are at a distance of order sqrt{t}…

The Thue--Morse sequence is a prototypical automatic sequence found in diverse areas of mathematics, and in computer science. We study occurrences of factors $w$ within this sequence, more precisely, the sequence of gaps between consecutive…

We show that if $(X, \mu, T)$ is a probability measure-preserving dynamical system, and $\mathscr{P}$ is a countable partition of $(X, \mu)$, then the limit $$ \lim_{n, k \to \infty} \mathbb{E} \left[ \frac{1}{k} \sum_{j = 0}^{k - 1} f…

Let $a, b$ be distinct, non-constant polynomials in ${\mathbb F}_2 [z]$. Let $\xi_{a, b}$ be the power series in ${\mathbb F}_2((z^{-1}))$ whose sequence of partial quotients is the Thue-Morse sequence over $\{a, b\}$. We establish that…

We prove that for a sequence of nested sets $\{U_n\}$ with $\Lambda = \cap_n U_n$ a measure zero set, the localized escape rate converges to the extremal index of $\Lambda$, provided that the dynamical system is $\phi$-mixing at polynomial…

Andrews and Bressoud, Alladi and Gordon, and others, have proven, in a number of papers, that the coefficients in various arithmetic progressions in the series expansions of certain infinite $q$-products vanish. In the present paper it is…
