Using small cancellation methods, we show that the property invariable generation does not pass to finite index subgroups, answering questions of Wiegold and Kantor-Lubotzky-Shalev. We further show that a finitely generated group that is…

Let X be a projective curve of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2. The Frobenius map on X induces a rational map on the moduli scheme of rank-2 bundles. We show that up to isomorphism, there is only one (up to…

We consider the group $\mathfrak{X}(G)$ obtained from $G\ast G$ by forcing each element $g$ in the first free factor to commute with the copy of $g$ in the second free factor. Deceptively complicated finitely presented groups arise from…

An important result of Bilu deals with the equidistribution of the Galois orbits of a sequence $(\alpha_n)_n$ in $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}^*$. Here, we prove a quantitative equidistribution theorem for a sequence of finite subsets in…

A structure theorem is proved for strongly holonomic modules over a quantum torus (a crossed product of a field with a free abelian group in which the field is central). This can be applied to give a structure theorem for finitely presented…

A transfer is a group homomorphism from a finite group to an abelian quotient group of a subgroup of the group. In this paper, we explain some of the properties of transfers by using noncommutative determinants. These properties enable us…

Let p be a real number with 1<p and different from 2. We study Property (T_lp) for a second countable locally compact group G. Property (T_lp) is a weak version of Kazhdan's Property (T), defined in terms of the orthogonal representations…

We present examples of queuing networks that never come to equilibrium. That is achieved by constructing Non-linear Markov Processes, which are non-ergodic, and possess eternal transience property.

For varieties over a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ with "many" automorphisms, we study the $\ell$-adic properties of the eigenvalues of the Frobenius operator on their cohomology. The main goal of this paper is to consider towers such as $y^2…

In this article, I study some classes of finitely presented groups with the aim of finding out whether the maximal metabelian quotients of the members of these classes admit finite presentations. The considered classes include those of…

Hobby has recently shown that almost all finite hyperfields of even order fail to be the quotient of a field. Using a probabilistic argument, we extend this result to all orders: a finite hyperfield is almost always non-quotient. This…

Schwede proved very recently in arXiv:0901.1154 that in a quasiprojective scheme X with a fixed Frobenius splitting, there are only finitely many subschemes {Y} that are compatibly split. (A simpler proof has already since been given in…

One of the main aims of this paper is to give a large class of strongly solid compact quantum groups. We do this by using quantum Markov semi-groups (QMS's) and non-commutative Riesz transforms. We introduce a property for QMS's of central…

It is shown that there exist finitely generated infinite simple groups of infinite commutator width and infinite square width on which there exists no stably unbounded conjugation-invariant norm, and in particular stable commutator length…

Noncommutativity of observables is a central feature of quantum physics. It plays a fundamental role in the formulation of the uncertainty principle for complementary variables and strongly affects the laws of thermodynamics for systems…

Owing to the difference in $K$-theory, an example by Dugger and Shipley implies that the equivalence of stable categories of Gorenstein projective modules should not be a Quillen equivalence. We give a sufficient and necessary condition for…

We consider the class of higher derivative field equations whose wave operator is a square of another self-adjoint operator of lower order. At the free level, the models of this class are shown to admit a two-parameter series of integrals…

We find the number of compositions over finite abelian groups under two types of restrictions: (i) each part belongs to a given subset and (ii) small runs of consecutive parts must have given properties. Waring's problem over finite fields…

We give a complete characterization of connected Lie groups with the Approximation Property for groups (AP). To this end, we introduce a strengthening of property (T), that we call property (T*), which is a natural obstruction to the AP. In…

We introduce a strong notion of quasiconvexity in finitely generated groups, which we call stability. Stability agrees with quasiconvexity in hyperbolic groups and is preserved under quasi-isometry for finitely generated groups. We show…
