In 2013, Zhai proved that most numerical semigroups of a given genus have depth at most $3$ and that the number $n_g$ of numerical semigroups of a genus $g$ is asymptotic to $S\varphi^g$, where $S$ is some positive constant and $\varphi…

In 1980 Rostislav Grigorchuk constructed a group $G$ of intermediate growth, and later obtained the following estimates on its growth $\gamma$: $e^{\sqrt{n}}\precsim\gamma(n)\precsim e^{n^\beta},$ where $\beta=\log_{32}(31)\approx0.991$. He…

We prove that, for $1\leq p< 2$, if a $W^{1,p}$-quasiconvex integrand $\,f\colon\mathbb{R}^{N\times n}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ has linear growth from above on the rank-one cone, then it must satisfy this growth for all matrices in…

The average value of log s(n)/n taken over the first N even integers is shown to converge to a constant lambda when N tends to infinity; moreover, the value of this constant is approximated and proven to be less than 0. Here s(n) sums the…

We develop and describe continuous and discrete transforms of class functions on a compact semisimple, but not simple, Lie group $G$ as their expansions into series of special functions that are invariant under the action of the even…

Given a finitely generated semigroup S of the (normed) set of linear maps of a vector space V into itself, we find sufficient conditions for the exponential growth of the number N(k) of elements of the semigroup contained in the sphere of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group, let $\theta$ be an involution of $\Gamma$, and let $\rho$ be an irreducible complex representation of $\Gamma$. We bound $\dim \rho^{\Gamma^{\theta}}$ in terms of the smallest dimension of a faithful…

We introduce the {\it growth partition function} $Z_{\Gamma,G}(t)$ associate with any cancellative infinite monoid $\Gamma$ with a finite generator system $G$. It is a power series in $t$ whose coefficients lie in integral Lie-like space…

Let (g,k) be a reductive symmetric superpair of even type, i.e. so that there exists an even Cartan subspace a in p. The restriction map S(p^*)^k->S(a^*)^W where W=W(g_0:a) is the Weyl group, is injective. We determine its image explicitly.…

We prove that an infinite family of semiprimitive groups are graph-restrictive. This adds to the evidence for the validity of the PSV Conjecture and increases the minimal imprimitive degree for which this conjecture is open to 12. Our…

Banica and Vergnioux have shown that the dual discrete quantum group of a compact simply connected Lie group has polynomial growth of order the real manifold dimension. We extend this result to a general compact group and its topological…

Let $\Gamma$ be a surface group of higher genus. Let $\rho\_0: \Gamma \to {PGL}(V)$ be a discrete faithful representation with image contained in the natural embedding of ${SL}(2, {\mathbb R})$ in ${PGL}(3, {\mathbb R})$ as a group…

Let $F(p)$, $p\ge2$ be the family of generalized Thompson's groups. Here F(2) is the famous Richard Thompson's group usually denoted by $F$. We find the growth rate of the monoid of positive words in $F(p)$ and show that it does not exceed…

This note constructs a finitely generated group $W$ whose word-growth is exponential, but for which the infimum of the growth rates over all finite generating sets is 1 -- in other words, of non-uniformly exponential growth. This answers a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of a unimodular locally compact group $G$. In Math. Ann. 388, 4251-4305 (2024), it was shown that the $L_p$ norm of a Fourier multiplier $m$ on $\Gamma$ can be bounded locally by its $L_p$-norm on $G$,…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\Gamma\subset G(\mathbb{Q})$ an arithmetic subgroup. Let $K_\infty\subset G(\mathbb{R})$ be a maximal compact subgroup. We study the asymptotic behavior of the counting functions…

Let L be a Lie group and Lambda a lattice in L. Suppose G is a non-compact simple Lie group realized as a Lie subgroup of L, and the image of G on L/Lambda is dense. Let c be a diagonalizable element of G not contained in a compact…

We define the notion of the partial order of ends of the Cayley graph of a semigroup. We prove that the structure of the ends of a semigroup is invariant under change of finite generating set and at the same time is inherited by…

Let $s_n^\mathrm{ch}(\Gamma)$ denote the number of characteristic subgroups of index at most $n$ in a finitely generated group $\Gamma$. In response to a question of I. Rivin we show that if $\Gamma = F_r$ is the free group on $r \geq 2$…
