We define the notion of computability of F{\o}lner sets for finitely generated amenable groups. We prove, by an explicit description, that the Kharlampovich group, a finitely presented solvable group with unsolvable word problem, has…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group with property $(T)$ of Kazhdan. We prove that any Riemannian isometric action of $\Gamma$ on a compact manifold $X$ is locally rigid. We also prove a more general foliated version of this result. The…

A mathematical construction of the conformal field theory (CFT) associated to a compact torus, also called the "nonlinear Sigma-model" or "lattice-CFT", is given. Underlying this approach to CFT is a unitary modular functor, the…

We discuss definable compactifications and topological dynamics. For G a group definable in some structure M, we define notions of "definable" compactification of G and "definable" action of G on a compact space X (definable G-flow), where…

Miculescu and Mihail in 2008 introduced the concept of a \emph{generalized iterated function system} (GIFS in~short), a particular extension of the classical IFS. The idea is that, instead of families of selfmaps of a metric space~$X$,…

In this paper, we introduce and investigate a novel subclass $\Sigma(\theta, \lambda, \gamma)$ of meromorphic functions defined in the punctured unit disk ${D}^*$. This class is constructed utilizing a specialized generalized operator…

Whittaker functions are special functions that arise in $p$-adic number theory and representation theory. They may be defined on representations of reductive groups as well as their metaplectic covering groups: fascinatingly, many of their…

This article describes a sequence of rational functions which converges locally uniformly to the zeta function. The numerators (and denominators) of these rational functions can be expressed as characteristic polynomials of matrices that…

Let $X$ be a real prehomogeneous vector space under a reductive group $G$, such that $X$ is an absolutely spherical $G$-variety with affine open orbit. We define local zeta integrals that involve the integration of Schwartz-Bruhat functions…

Given an action of a group $\Gamma$ on a measure space $\Omega$, we provide a sufficient criterion under which two sets $A, B\subseteq \Omega$ are measurably equidecomposable, i.e., $A$ can be partitioned into finitely many measurable…

We prove that an arbitrary compact metrizable group can be realized as the automorphism group of a graphing; this is a continuous analogue to Frucht's theorem recovering arbitrary finite groups are automorphism groups of finite graphs. The…

We undertake a systematic study of the approximation properties of the topological and measurable versions of the coarse boundary groupoid associated to a sequence of finite graphs of bounded degree. On the topological side, we prove that…

In his work on the Farrell-Jones Conjecture, Arthur Bartels introduced the concept of a "finitely $\mathcal{F}$-amenable" group action, where $\mathcal{F}$ is a family of subgroups. We show how a finitely $\mathcal{F}$-amenable action of a…

M. Goresky, G. Harder, and R. MacPherson defined weighted cohomologies of arithmetic groups \Gamma in a real group G, with coefficients in certain local systems, associated to arbitrary upper and lower weight profiles. The author shows,…

Let $\phi: \R^d \longrightarrow \C$ be a compactly supported function which satisfies a refinement equation of the form $\phi(x) = \sum_{k\in\Lambda} c_k \phi(Ax - k),\quad c_k\in\C$, where $\Gamma\subset\R^d$ is a lattice, $\Lambda$ is a…

Let $L_H$ denote the set of all normalized locally one-to-one and sense-preserving harmonic functions in the unit disc $\Delta$. It is well-known that every complex-valued harmonic function in the unit disc $\Delta$ can be uniquely…

A new concept of meromorphic $\Sigma$-factorization, for H\"{o}lder continuous functions defined on a contour $\Gamma$ that is the pullback of $\dot{\mathbb{R}}$ (or the unit circle) in a Riemann surface $\Sigma$ of genus 1, is introduced…

Partition functions, also known as homomorphism functions, form a rich family of graph invariants that contain combinatorial invariants such as the number of k-colourings or the number of independent sets of a graph and also the partition…

Spinfoam models provide a covariant formulation of the dynamics of loop quantum gravity. They are non-perturbatively defined in the group field theory (GFT) framework: the GFT partition function defines the sum of spinfoam transition…

Using results from theory of operators on a Hilbert space, we prove approximation results for matrix-valued holomorphic functions on the unit disc and the unit bidisc. The essential tools are the theory of unitary dilation of a contraction…
