Let G be a finite group, let A be an infinite-dimensional stably finite simple unital C*-algebra, and let \alpha \colon G \to Aut (A) be an action of G on A which has the weak tracial Rokhlin property. Let A^{\alpha} be the fixed point…
For any abelian group $A$, we prove an asymptotic formula for the number of $A$-extensions $K/\mathbb{Q}$ of bounded discriminant such that the associated norm one torus $R_{K/\mathbb{Q}}^1 \mathbb{G}_m$ satisfies weak approximation. We are…
For a given finitely generated multiplicative subgroup of the rationals which possibly contain negative numbers, we derive, subject to GRH, formulas for the densities of primes for which the index of the reduction group has a given value.…
Suppose that $G$ is the group of $F$-points of a connected reductive group over $F$, where $F/\mathbb{Q}_p$ is a finite extension. We study the (topological) irreducibility of principal series of $G$ on $p$-adic Banach spaces. For unitary…
Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra generated by some separable operator system $S$. More than a decade ago, Arveson conjectured that $S$ is hyperrigid in $A$ if all irreducible representations of $A$ are boundary representations for $S$.…
A discrete countable group G is matricially stable if the finite dimensional approximate unitary representations of G are perturbable to genuine representations in the point-norm topology. For large classes of groups G, we show that…
A discrete group which admits a faithful, finite dimensional, linear representation over a field $\mathbb F$ of characteristic zero is called linear. This note combines the natural structure of semi-direct products with work of A. Lubotzky…
In this paper we suggest new effective criteria for the density property. This enables us to give a trivial proof of the original Anders\'en-Lempert result and to establish (almost free of charge) the algebraic density property for all…
In this article we extend a euclidean result of David and Semmes to the Heisenberg group by giving a sufficient condition for a $k$-Ahlfors-regular subset to have big pieces of bilipschitz images of subsets of $\R^k$. This Carleson type…
Let $G$ be a group and let $A\subseteq G$ be non-empty. We call $A$ an asymptotic $(r,l)$-approximate group if, for a fixed dilation factor $r$, the larger product sets $A^{hr}$ can, for all sufficiently large $h$, be covered by a bounded…
The objective of this series is to study metric geometric properties of (coarse) disjoint unions of amenable Cayley graphs. We employ the Cayley topology and observe connections between large scale structure of metric spaces and group…
We extend some parts of the representation theory for integral quadratic forms over the ring of integers of a number field to the case over the coordinate ring $k[C]$ of an affine curve $C$ over a general base field $k$. By using the genus…
Let X be a Hilbert bimodule over a C*-algebra A and $O_X= A \rtimes_X \Z$. Using a finite section method we construct a sequence of completely positive contractions factoring through matrix algebras over A which act on $s_{\xi} s_{\eta}^*$…
Let A be an abelian variety over a number field k. We show that weak approximation holds in the Weil-Ch\^atelet group of A/k but that it may fail when one restricts to the n-torsion subgroup. This failure is however relatively mild; we show…
We introduce and discuss a definition of approximation of a topological algebraic system $A$ by finite algebraic systems of some class $\K$. For the case of a discrete algebraic system this definition is equivalent to the well-known…
In this paper we give an example of a Banach algebra $A$ and a closed ideal $I$ of $A$ such that the multiplier algebra of $I$ is equal to $A$ but $I$ does not have any bounded approximate identity. In the case that $I$ has an approximate…
Let $A$ be a commutative ring, and assume every non-trivial ideal of $A$ has finite-index. We show that if ${\rm{SL}}_n(A)$ has bounded elementary generation then every conjugation-invariant norm on it is either discrete or precompact. If…
We consider a countably generated and uniformly closed algebra of bounded functions. We assume that there is a lower semicontinuous, with respect to the supremum norm, quadratic form and that normal contractions operate in a certain sense.…
Let $k$ be a number field, $\Omega$ be a finite symmetric subset of $\mathbb{GL}_{n_0}(k)$, and $\Gamma=\langle \Omega\rangle$. Let \[ C(\Gamma):=\{\mathfrak{p}\in V_f(k)|\hspace{1mm} \Gamma \text{is a bounded subgroup of}…
