The goal of this paper is to construct and describe certain arithmetic subgroups of the automorphism group of a partially commutative group. More precisely, given an arbitrary finite graph $\Gamma$ we construct an arithmetic subgroup…

Suppose Gamma is an S-arithmetic subgroup of a connected, semisimple algebraic group G over a global field Q (of any characteristic). It is well known that Gamma acts by isometries on a certain CAT(0) metric space X_S that is a Cartesian…

Let $\Gamma\subset \mathsf{PGL}(d,\mathbb{R})$ be an irreducible projective Anosov subgroup and let $\Lambda^1(\Gamma)$ be its projective limit set. Viewing $\Lambda^1(\Gamma)$ as an analogue of a self-affine set, we investigate the…

Suppose $\Gamma$ is an arithmetic group defined over a global field $K$, that the $K$-type of $\Gamma$ is $A_n$ with $n \geq 2$, and that the ambient semisimple group that contains $\Gamma$ as a lattice has at least two noncocompact…

We consider two algebraic invariants in the representation theory of quantized enveloping algebras: the dimension growth of simple modules for the De Concini-Kac quantum group at roots of unity, and the Gelfand-Kirillov dimension of simple…

In this paper, the author (1) compares subnormal closures of finite sets in free groups; (2) proves that the exponential growth rate (e.g.r.), i.e., the limit of the n-th roots of g(n), where g(n) is the growth function of a subgroup H with…

We prove that stable subgroups of Morse local-to-global groups exhibit a growth gap. That is, the growth rate of an infinite-index stable subgroup is strictly less than the growth rate of the ambient Morse local-to-global group. This…

In the first, mostly expository, part of this paper, a graded Lie algebra is associated to every group G given with an N-series of subgroups. The asymptotics of the Poincare series of this algebra give estimates on the growth of the group…

Let $G$ be an infinite group and let $X$ be a finite generating set for $G$ such that the growth series of $G$ with respect to $X$ is a rational function; in this case $G$ is said to have rational growth with respect to $X$. In this paper a…

We consider the functions that bound the dimensions of finite-dimensional associative or Lie algebras in terms of the dimensions of their commutative subalgebras. It is proved that these functions have quadratic growth. As a result, we also…

Assuming a simple form for the growth index gamma(z) depending on two parameters gamma_0 = gamma(z=0) and gamma_1 = gamma'(z=0), we show that these parameters can be constrained using background expansion data. We explore systematically the…

We consider a very simple Mealy machine (three states over a two-symbol alphabet), and derive some properties of the semigroup it generates. In particular, this is an infinite, finitely generated semigroup; we show that the growth function…

Let G be a finitely generated group and M_n(G) the number of its normal subgroup subgroups of index at most n. For linear groups G we show that M_n(G) can grow polynomially in n only if the semisimple part of the Zariski closure of G has…

Let $G =<S>$ be a solvable permutation group of the symmetric group $S_n$ given as input by the generating set $S$. We give a deterministic polynomial-time algorithm that computes an \emph{expanding generating set} of size $\tilde{O}(n^2)$…

We study Morse representations of discrete subgroups in higher rank semi-simple Lie groups defined by M. Kapovich, B. Leeb and J. Porti. We show that, if a sequence of Morse representations $\rho_n : \Gamma \rightarrow G$ is (strongly)…

We prove several cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions of higher-rank cocompact lattices on low dimensional manifolds. For example, if $\Gamma$ is a cocompact lattice in $\mathrm{Sl}(n, \mathbb R)$, $M$ is a compact manifold, and…

A {\it 2-rainbow domination function} of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ that assigns to each vertex a set of colors chosen from the set $\{1,2\}$, such that for any $v\in V(G)$, $f(v)=\emptyset$ implies $\bigcup_{u\in N(v)}f(u)=\{1,2\}$. The…

Let $g$ be a fixed holomorphic cusp form of arbitrary level and nebentypus. Let $\chi$ be a primitive character of prime-power modulus $q = p^{\gamma}$. In this paper, we prove the following hybrid Weyl-type subconvexity bound…

Fixing a subgroup $\Gamma$ in a group $G$, the full commensurability growth function assigns to each $n$ the cardinality of the set of subgroups $\Delta$ of $G$ with $[\Gamma: \Gamma \cap \Delta][\Delta : \Gamma \cap \Delta] \leq n$. For…

Let $\Omega$, $\Omega'\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be bounded domains and let $f_m\colon\Omega\to\Omega'$ be a sequence of homeomorphisms with positive Jacobians $J_{f_m} >0$ a.e. and prescribed Dirichlet boundary data. Let all $f_m$ satisfy the…
