We establish the sharpness of the percolation phase transition for a class of infinite-range weighted random connection models. The vertex set is given by a marked Poisson point process on $\mathbb{R}^d$ with intensity $\lambda>0$, where…

Recent research revealed the existence of gaps in the complexity landscape of locally checkable labeling (LCL) problems in the LOCAL model of distributed computing. For example, the deterministic round complexity of any LCL problem on…

Let $D_{n,\gamma}$ be the complex of graphs on $n$ vertices and domination number at least $\gamma$. We prove that $D_{n,n-2}$ has the homotopy type of a finite wedge of 2-spheres. This is done by using discrete Morse theory techniques.…

Let $G$ be a random group in Gromov's density model $G(m,d,L)$ with $d<\tfrac12$. We prove a sharp quantitative constraint on products of conjugates equal to the identity: for every $n\ge1$ and $\varepsilon>0$, with overwhelming probability…

We define the class of high dimensional graph manifolds. These are compact smooth manifolds supporting a decomposition into finitely many pieces, each of which is diffeomorphic to the product of a torus with a finite volume hyperbolic…

Using an analogy with the rank theorem in differential geometry, it is shown that for a finite $n$-tuple $X$ in a tracial von Neumann algebra and any finite $m$-tuple $F$ of $*$-polynomials in $n$ noncommuting indeterminates,…

We give a new categorical approach to the Halmos-von Neumann theorem for actions of general topological groups. As a first step, we establish that the categories of topological and measure-preserving irreducible systems with discrete…

In this paper, we examine how topological complexity, simplicial complexity, discrete topological complexity, and combinatorial complexity compare when applied to models of $S^1$. We prove that the topological complexity of non-minimal…

In this paper we provide universal formulas describing Drinfeld-type quantization of inhomogeneous orthogonal groups determined by a metric tensor of an arbitrary signature living in a spacetime of arbitrary dimension. The metric tensor…

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a finite nilpotent group and $H$ a subgroup of $G$, then $H$ is normal in $G$ if and only if all normalized right transversals of $H$ in $G$ are…

We reformulate several basic notions of notions in finite group theory in terms of iterations of the lifting property (orthogonality) with respect to particular morphisms. Our examples include the notions being nilpotent, solvable, perfect,…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of $\textrm{PGL}(d,\R)$ and fix some euclidean norm $\|\ \|$ on $\R^d.$ Let $N_\Gamma(t)$ be the number of elements in $\Gamma$ whose operator norm is $\leq t.$ In this article we prove an asymptotic for…

In this paper we consider topological spaces as generalised orders and characterise those spaces which satisfy a (suitably defined) topological distributive law. Furthermore, we show that the category of these spaces is dually equivalent to…

We present a genus expansion-type expression for the expected values of products of traces of expressions involving Haar-distributed orthogonal matrices. As with other real genus expansions, nonorientable surfaces appear, in addition to the…

We prove that for any free ergodic nonsingular nonamenable action \Gamma\ \actson (X,\mu) of all \Gamma\ in a large class of groups including all hyperbolic groups, the associated group measure space factor $L^\infty(X) \rtimes \Gamma$ has…

Let p be a prime. Uniform pro-p groups play a central role in the theory of p-adic Lie groups. Indeed, a topological group admits the structure of a p-adic Lie group if and only if it contains an open pro-p subgroup which is uniform.…

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We construct a non-abelian extension $\Gamma$ of $S^1$ by $Z/p \times Z/p$, and prove that any finite subgroup of $\Gamma$ acts freely and smoothly on $S^{2p-1} \times S^{2p-1}$. In particular, for each odd prime…

Let $C,A$ be countable abelian groups. In this paper we determine the complexity of classifying extensions $C$ by $A$, in the cases when $C$ is torsion-free and $A$ is a $p$-group, a torsion group with bounded primary components, or a free…

Suppose $G$ is a $\mathcal{T}$-group (finitely generated torsion-free nilpotent) with centralizers outside of the derived subgroup being abelian of rank equal to $\text{rank}(Z_1)+1$. This includes the class of free nilpotent groups…

We initiate the study of the $p$-local commensurability graph of a group, where $p$ is a prime. This graph has vertices consisting of all finite-index subgroups of a group, where an edge is drawn between $A$ and $B$ if $[A : A\cap B]$ and…
