We define secondary theories and characteristic classes for simplicial smooth manifolds generalizing Karoubi's multiplicative K-theory and multiplicative cohomology groups for smooth manifolds. As a special case we get versions of the…
This is the first of two papers which aim to understand quasi-isometries of a subclass of unimodular split solvable Lie groups. In the present paper, we show that locally (in a coarse sense), a quasi-isometry between two groups in this…
This paper proves that there are no compact forms for a large class of homogeneous spaces admitting actions by higher-rank semisimple Lie groups. It builds on Zimmer's approach for studying such spaces using cocycle superrigidity. The proof…
We give a simpler proof of the sharp Frank-Lieb inequality on the Heisenberg group. The proof bypasses the sophisticated argument for existence of a minimizer and is based on the study of the 2nd variation of subcritical functionals using…
In this paper, we first prove the weighted Levin-Cochran-Lee type inequalities on homogeneous Lie groups for arbitrary weights, quasi-norms, and $L^p$-and $L^q$-norms. Then, we derive a sharp weighted inequality involving specific weights…
A cocompact lattice in a semisimple Lie group $G$ is a discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ such that the quotient $G/\Gamma$ is compact. Does such a lattice always contain a surface group, i.e. a subgroup isomorphic to the fundamental group of a…
This paper develops aspects of cosheaf theory on rigid analytic spaces, and demonstrates a sheaf-cosheaf Verdier duality equivalence theorem for overconvergent sheaves on separated, paracompact spaces, analogous to Jacob Lurie's treatment…
The class of locally compact near abelian groups is introduced and investigated as a class of metabelian groups formalizing and applying the concept of scalar multiplication. The structure of locally compact near abelian groups and its…
We extend Wolff's "local smoothing" inequality to a wider class of not necessarily conical hypersurfaces of codimension 1. This class includes surfaces with nonvanishing curvature, as well as certain surfaces with more than one flat…
Using well-known techniques, we establish Hardy-Littlewood-type and Hausdorff-Young-type inequalities for generalized Gegenbauer expansions and their unification.
We study locally compact group topologies on semisimple Lie groups. We show that the Lie group topology on such a group $S$ is very rigid: every 'abstract' isomorphism between $S$ and a locally compact and $\sigma$-compact group $\Gamma$ is…
The subject of this paper is the study of convolution semigroups of states on a locally compact quantum group, generalising classical families of distributions of a L\'{e}vy process on a locally compact group. In particular a definitive…
Some q-analysis variants of Hardy type inequalities of the form \int_0^b (x^{\alpha-1} \int_0^x t^{-\alpha} f(t) d_qt)^p d_qx \leq C \int_0^b f^p(t) d_qt with sharp constant C are proved and discussed. A similar result with the…
This article discusses the existence problem of a compact quotient of a symmetric space by a properly discontinuous group with emphasis on the non-Riemannian case. Discontinuous groups are not always abundant in a homogeneous space $G/H$ if…
We show that (with one possible exception) there exist strongly dense free subgroups in any semisimple algebraic group over a large enough field. These are nonabelian free subgroups all of whose subgroups are either cyclic or Zariski dense.…
We study the group of homotopy classes of self maps of compact Lie groups which induce the trivial homomorphism on homotopy groups. We completely determine the groups for SU(3) and Sp(2). We investigate these groups for simple Lie groups in…
We determine the sharp constants for the fractional Sobolev inequalities associated with the conformally invariant fractional powers $\mathcal{L}_{s}(0<s<1)$ of the sublaplacian on H-type groups. From these inequalities we derive a sharp…
In this paper, we got several sharp Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev-type inequalities on quaternionic Heisenberg groups (a general form due to Folland and Stein [FS74]), using the symmetrization-free method in a paper of Frank and Lieb [FL12],…
Based on the work of Adams and Stuck as well as on the work of Zeghib, we classify the Lie groups which can act isometrically and locally effectively on Lorentzian manifolds of finite volume. In the case that the corresponding Lie algebra…
We show that for a minimal, second countable, locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid whose unit space is homeomorphic to the Cantor set, if the groupoid has comparison then the commutator subgroup of its full group is simple. This…
