Any simple pseudofinite group G is known to be isomorphic to a (twisted) Chevalley group over a pseudofinite field. This celebrated result mostly follows from the work of Wilson in 1995 and heavily relies on the classification of finite…

A problem by Feichtinger, Heil, and Larson asks whether every infinite matrix $A$ with $\sum_{k,l}|A_{kl}| < \infty$ (an equivalent substitute for the Feichtinger algebra) that is positive-semidefinite admits a symmetric rank-one…

We prove that if $G$ is a finite simple group which is the unit group of a ring, then $G$ is isomorphic to either (a) a cyclic group of order 2; (b) a cyclic group of prime order $2^k -1$ for some $k$; or (c) a projective special linear…

Let $\Lambda$ be the limit set of a conformal dynamical system, i.e. a Kleinian group acting on either finite- or infinite-dimensional real Hilbert space, a conformal iterated function system, or a rational function. We give an easily…

Let G be a non-elementary group of isometries of a proper CAT(0)-space with limit set L. We survey properties of the action of G on L under the assumption that G contains a rank-one element. Among others, we show that there is a dense orbit…

Fix a prime $p$ and an integer $m$ with $p> m \geq 2$. Define the family of finite groups \[ G_n :=SL_m (\mathbb{Z}/p^{n}\mathbb{Z}) \] for $n=1,2,... $. We will prove that there exist two positive constants $C$ and $d$ such that for any…

In this paper, we introduce several notions of "dimension" of a finite group, involving sizes of generating sets and certain configurations of maximal subgroups. We focus on the inequality $m(G) \leq \mathrm{MaxDim}(G)$, giving a family of…

We say that a finite almost simple $G$ with socle $S$ is admissible (with respect to the spectrum) if $G$ and $S$ have the same sets of orders of elements. Let $L$ be a finite simple linear or unitary group of dimension at least three over…

Let $X=G/K$ be a symmetric space of noncompact type and rank $k\ge 2$. We prove that horospheres in $X$ are Lipschitz $(k-2)$--connected if their centers are not contained in a proper join factor of the spherical building of $X$ at…

Let $p$ be a prime number. We consider diagonal $p$-permutation functors over a (commutative, unital) ring $\mathsf{R}$ in which all prime numbers different from $p$ are invertible. We first determine the finite groups $G$ for which the…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of \textit{monotonic algebras}, a broad class of algebras that includes all Artin-Schelter regular algebras of dimension at most four, as well as algebras with \textit{pure} resolutions, such as…

The $\mathcal{S}$-cone provides a common framework for cones of polynomials or exponential sums which establish non-negativity upon the arithmetic-geometric inequality, in particular for sums of non-negative circuit polynomials (SONC) or…

The \emph{action dimension} of a discrete group $G$ is the minimum dimension of a contractible manifold, which admits a proper $G$-action. In this paper, we study the action dimension of general Artin groups. The main result is that the…

Farre, Pozzetti and Viaggi proved that any (d-k)-hyperconvex subgroup of PSL(d,C) is virtually isomorphic to a convex cocompact Kleinian group and that its k-th simple root critical exponent is at most 2. We show that a (d-k)-hyperconvex…

A finite group $G$ admits an {\em oriented regular representation} if there exists a Cayley digraph of $G$ such that it has no digons and its automorphism group is isomorphic to $G$. Let $m$ be a positive integer. In this paper, we extend…

Let $K$ be a field and $G$ be a finite group. Let $G$ act on the rational function field $K(x(g):g\in G)$ by $K$-automorphisms defined by $g\cdot x(h)=x(gh)$ for any $g,h\in G$. Denote by $K(G)$ the fixed field $K(x(g):g\in G)^G$. Noether's…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, $\mathfrak{g}$ be its Lie algebra, and $B$ be a Borel subgroup. We prove a formula for the dimensions of extension groups, in…

We show that every oriented $n$-dimensional Poincar\'e duality group over a $*$-ring $R$ is amenable or satisfies a linear homological isoperimetric inequality in dimension $n-1$. As an application, we prove the Tits alternative for such…

The representation dimension of a finite group $G$ is the minimal dimension of a faithful complex linear representation of $G$. We prove that the representation dimension of any finite group $G$ is at most $\sqrt{|G|}$ except if $G$ is a…

We prove that a one-relator group $G$ is K\"ahler if and only if either $G$ is finite cyclic or $G$ is isomorphic to the fundamental group of a compact orbifold Riemann surface of genus $g > 0$ with at most one cone point of order $n$: $$<…
