We describe a classification of pairs $M, N$ of lattices isometric to $EE_8:=\sqrt 2 E_8$ such that the lattice $M + N$ is integral and rootless and such that the dihedral group associated to them has order at most 12. It turns out that…

Let $G$ be a real centre-free semisimple Lie group without compact factors. I prove that irreducible lattices in $G$ are rigid under two types of sublinear distortions. The first result is that the class of lattices in groups that do not…

Let $L$ be an even (positive definite) lattice and $g\in O(L)$. In this article, we prove that the orbifold vertex operator algebra $V_{L}^{\hat{g}}$ has group-like fusion if and only if $g$ acts trivially on the discriminant group…

Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and let H be a subgroup fixed by an involution. A classical result assures that the action of the complex reductive group $H_C$ on the flag variety $F$ of $G$ admits a finite number of orbits. In…

Let E be an integral lattice. We first discuss some general properties of an SDC lattice, i.e., a sum of two diagonal copies of E in E \bot E. In particular, we show that its group of isometries contains a wreath product. We then specialize…

For a positive integer $s$, a lattice $L$ is said to be $s$-integrable if $\sqrt{s}\cdot L$ is isometric to a sublattice of $\mathbb{Z}^n$ for some integer $n$. Conway and Sloane found two minimal non $2$-integrable lattices of rank $12$…

Let $\g$ be any simple Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$. Recall that there exists an embedding of $\mathfrak{sl}_2$ into $\g$, called a principal TDS, passing through a principal nilpotent element of $\g$ and uniquely determined up to…

We study embeddings of groups of Lie type $H$ in characteristic $p$ into exceptional algebraic groups $\mathbf G$ of the same characteristic. We exclude the case where $H$ is of type $\mathrm{PSL}_2$. A subgroup of $\mathbf G$ is \emph{Lie…

Let $G$ be a linear semisimple Lie group without compact factors. We show that uniform approximate lattices $\Lambda$ arising as regular model sets in $G$ determine the ambient group $G$ in a strong sense. Specifically, for every…

Let $\boldsymbol{G}$ be an algebraic group of exceptional Lie type in characteristic $p$, $G=\boldsymbol{G}^{\sigma}$ its fixed-point subgroup under the action of a Steinberg endomorphism $\sigma$, and $\overline{G}$ an almost simple group…

We give infinitely many examples to show that even for simple groups $G$ it is possible for the lattice of overgroups of a subgroup $H$ to be the Boolean lattice of rank $2$, in such a way that the two maximal overgroups of $H$ are…

Lattice theoretical generalizations of some classical linear algebra results are formulated. A vector space is replaced by its subspace lattice and a linear map is replaced by the induced lattice map. This map is a complete join…

We classify integral rootless lattices which are sums of pairs of $EE_8$-lattices (lattices isometric to $\sqrt 2$ times the $E_8$-lattice) and which define dihedral groups of orders less than or equal to 12. Most of these may be seen in…

Let F be a non-archimedean local field of characteristic zero whose residue field has at least three elements. Let G be an almost simple linear algebraic group over F, with rank_F(G) >= 2. Let X be a simply connected symmetric space of…

Let $\Lambda_1$, $\Lambda_2$ be two discrete orbits under the linear action of a lattice $\Gamma<\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ on the Euclidean plane. We prove a Siegel$-$Veech-type integral formula for the averages $$…

We show that stationary characters on irreducible lattices $\Gamma < G$ of higher-rank connected semisimple Lie groups are conjugation invariant, that is, they are genuine characters. This result has several applications in representation…

Every lattice H in a connected semi-simple Lie group G acts properly discontinuously by isometries on the contractible manifold G/K (K a maximal compact subgroup of G). We prove that if H acts on a contractible manifold W and if either 1)…

Let $G$ be a connected, semisimple, real Lie group with finite centre, with real rank at least two. B.Deroin and S.Hurtado recently proved the 30-year-old conjecture that no irreducible lattice in $G$ has a left-invariant total order.…

For finitely generated groups $G$ and $H$ equipped with word metrics, a translation-like action of $H$ on $G$ is a free action where each element of $H$ moves elements of $G$ a bounded distance. Translation-like actions provide a geometric…

Suppose $G$ is a $p$-solvable group, where $p$ is odd. We explore the connection between lifts of Brauer characters of $G$ and certain local objects in $G$, called vertex pairs. We show that if $\chi$ is a lift, then the vertex pairs of…
