Let $S(V)$ be a complex linear sphere of a finite group $G$. %the space of unit vectors in a complex representation $V$ of a finite group $G$. Let $S(V)^{*n}$ denote the $n$-fold join of $S(V)$ with itself and let $\aut_G(S(V)^*)$ denote…

A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group (GBS group) is a finitely generated group $G$ which acts on a tree with all edge and vertex stabilizers infinite cyclic. We show that Out(G) either contains non-abelian free groups or is virtually…

In this work we shall generalize the Selberg trace formula to a non-unitary finite-dimensional complex representation $\chi:\Gamma\rightarrow\operatorname{GL}(V)$ of a uniform lattice $\Gamma$ of a real Lie group $G$.

For a finite graph $\Gamma$, let $G(\Gamma)$ be the right-angled Artin group defined by the complement graph of $\Gamma$. We show that, for any linear forest $\Lambda$ and any finite graph $\Gamma$, $G(\Lambda)$ can be embedded into…

We show that if G is a finite group then no chain of modular elements in its subgroup lattice L(G) is longer than a chief series. Also, we show that if G is a nonsolvable finite group then every maximal chain in L(G) has length at least two…

Let $V$ be a complex vector space on which a finite group $G$ acts by linear transformations. Let $W = V \oplus V^*$ be the sum of $V$ with its dual $V^*$. We prove that if the quotient $W/G$ admits a smooth crepant resolution, then the…

For a simple vertex operator algebra $V$ and a finite automorphism group $G$ of $V$ then $V$ is a direct sum of $V^{\chi}$ where $\chi$ are irreducible character of $G$ and $V^{\chi}$ is the subspace of $V$ which $G$ acts according to the…

Let $q$ be a prime with $q \equiv 7 \mod 8$, and let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-q})$. Then $2$ splits in $K$, and we write $\mathfrak{p}$ for either of the primes $K$ above $2$. Let $K_\infty$ be the unique $\mathbb{Z}_2$-extension of $K$…

We determine the existence of cocompact lattices in groups of the form $\V\rtimes\SL_2(\R)$, where $\V$ is a finite dimensional real representation of $\SL_2(\R)$. It turns out that the answer depends on the parity of $\dim(\V)$ when the…

In this paper, we obtain a class of irreducible Virasoro modules by taking tensor products of the irreducible Virasoro modules $\Omega(\lambda,b)$ defined in [LZ], with irreducible highest weight modules $V(\theta,h)$ or with irreducible…

We describe inertial endomorphisms of an abelian group $A$, that is endomorphisms $\varphi$ with the property $|(\varphi(X)+X)/X|<\infty$ for each $X\le A$. They form a ring containing multiplications, the so-called finitary endomorphisms…

We say that a countable discrete group $\Gamma$ satisfies the invariant von Neumann subalgebras rigidity (ISR) property if every $\Gamma$- invariant von Neumann subalgebra $\mathcal{M}$ in $L(\Gamma)$ is of the form $L(\Lambda)$ for some…

Genus $g$ Torelli space is the moduli space of genus $g$ curves of compact type equipped with a homology framing. The hyperelliptic locus is a closed analytic subvariety consisting of finitely many mutually isomorphic components. We use…

We characterize finite groups G generated by orthogonal transformations in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space V whose fixed point subspace has codimension one or two in terms of the corresponding quotient space V/G with its quotient…

Let $G$ and $G'$ be simple Lie groups of equal real rank and real rank at least $2$. Let $\Gamma <G$ and $\Lambda < G'$ be non-uniform lattices. We prove a theorem that often implies that any quasi-isometric embedding of $\Gamma$ into…

We describe here the lower garland of some lattices of intermediate subgroups in linear groups. The results are applied to the case of subgroup lattices in general and special linear groups over a class of rings, containing the group of…

We present natural families of coordinate algebras of noncommutative products of Euclidean spaces. These coordinate algebras are quadratic ones associated with an R-matrix which is involutive and satisfies the Yang-Baxter equations. As a…

In this article we prove some previously announced results about metric ultraproducts of finite simple groups. We show that any non-discrete metric ultraproduct of alternating or special linear groups is a geodesic metric space. For more…

Let $M$ be a finite volume analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold that admits an isometric $G$-action with a dense orbit, where $G$ is a connected non-compact simple Lie group. For low-dimensional $M$, i.e. $\dim(M) < 2\dim(G)$, when the…

The Lie algebra $gl(V)$ is the Lie algebra of all endomorphisms of a countable-dimensional complex vector space $V$. We define a tensor category of topological representations of the Lie algebra $gl(V)$, so that $V$, its dual and the…
