In two previous papers [AGM1, AGM2] we computed cohomology groups H^5(\Gamma_0 (N); \C) for a range of levels N, where \Gamma_0 (N) is the congruence subgroup of SL_4 (\Z) consisting of all matrices with bottom row congruent to (0,0,0,*)…
While lattices in semi-simple Lie groups are studied very well, only little is known about discrete subgroups of infinite covolume. The main class of examples are Schottky groups. Here we investigate some new examples. We consider subgroups…
In this paper we give a generalization of a linear algebra estimate that occurs in the paper \cite{RS}, by Michael Rosen and Joseph H. Silverman. In \cite{RS} authors give a bound for the size of a submodule of $(\mathbb{Z}/n \mathbb{Z})^2$…
A great challenge in the analysis of the discrepancy function D_N is to obtain universal lower bounds on the L-infty norm of D_N in dimensions d \geq 3. It follows from the average case bound of Klaus Roth that the L-infty norm of D_N is at…
For variable-length coding with an almost-sure distortion constraint, Zhang et al. show that for discrete sources the redundancy is upper bounded by $\log n/n$ and lower bounded (in most cases) by $\log n/(2n)$, ignoring lower order terms.…
In this paper we prove Conjecture \ref{conj1} for a set of representations of the group $GL_n({\bf A})$. This Conjecture is stated in complete generality as Conjecture 1 in \cite{G2}, and here we prove it for various cases. See Conjecture…
Fixing an arithmetic lattice $\Gamma$ in an algebraic group $G$, the commensurability growth function assigns to each $n$ the cardinality of the set of subgroups $\Delta$ with $[\Gamma : \Gamma \cap \Delta] [\Delta: \Gamma \cap \Delta] =…
There is a long standing conjecture that there are at least $n$ closed characteristics for any compact convex hypersurface $\Sigma$ in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, and the symmetric case, i.e. $\Sigma=-\Sigma$, has already been proved by C. Liu, Y.…
We prove that an infinite (bounded) involution lattice and even pseudo--Kleene algebra can have any number of congruences between $2$ and its number of elements or equalling its number of subsets, regardless of whether it has as many ideals…
We obtain formulae for the numbers of isomorphism and conjugacy classes of non-identity proper subgroups of the groups $G={\rm PSL}_2(p)$, $p$ prime, and for the numbers of those conjugacy classes which do or do not consist of…
For function germs $g:(\mathbb C^n,0)\to (\mathbb C,0)$ it is well known that $1\leq\frac{\mu(g)}{\tau(g)}$ and it has recently been proved by Liu that $\frac{\mu(g)}{\tau(g)}\leq n$. We give an upper bound for the codimension of map-germs…
A famous conjecture of Graham asserts that every set $A \subseteq \mathbb{Z}_p \setminus \{0\}$ can be ordered so that all partial sums are distinct. Although this conjecture was recently proved for sufficiently large primes by Pham and…
We define a generalization $\mathfrak{G}$ of the Grassmann algebra $G$ which is well-behaved over arbitrary commutative rings $C$, even when $2$ is not invertible. In particular, this enables us to define a notion of superalgebras that does…
Let G be a semisimple Lie group with associated symmetric space D, and let Gamma subset G be a cocompact arithmetic group. Let L be a lattice inside a Z Gamma-module arising from a rational finite-dimensional complex representation of G.…
Let $G$ be one of the classical Lie groups $\GL_{n+1}(\R)$, $\GL_{n+1}(\C)$, $\oU(p,q+1)$, $\oO(p,q+1)$, $\oO_{n+1}(\C)$, $\SO(p,q+1)$, $\SO_{n+1}(\C)$, and let $G'$ be respectively the subgroup $\GL_{n}(\R)$, $\GL_{n}(\C)$, $\oU(p,q)$,…
Let $\mathbb Z_n$ be the cyclic group of order $n \ge 3$ additively written. S. Savchev \& F. Chen (2007) proved that for each zero-sum free sequence $S = a_1 \bullet \dots \bullet a_t$ over $\mathbb Z_n$ of length $t > n/2$, there is an…
In this paper, the conjecture on the Zalcmanness of $\mathbb C^n \ (n\geq 2)$ and $(\mathbb C^*)^2$, which is posed in \cite{Do}, is proved in the case where the derivatives of limit holomorphic curves are bounded. Moreover, several…
Given an irreducible lattice $\Gamma$ in the product of higher rank simple Lie groups, we prove a co-finiteness result for the $\Gamma$-invariant von Neumann subalgebras of the group von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{L}(\Gamma)$, and for the…
We prove a lower bound of exp(-C (log(2/alpha))^7)N^{k-1} to the number of solutions of an invariant equation in k variables, contained in a set of density alpha. Moreover, we give a Behrend-type construction for the same problem with the…
We provide a new large class of countable icc groups $\mathcal A$ for which the product rigidity result from [CdSS15] holds: if $\Gamma_1,\dots,\Gamma_n\in\mathcal A$ and $\Lambda$ is any group such that…
