We introduce the notion of the depth of a finite group $G$, defined as the minimal length of an unrefinable chain of subgroups from $G$ to the trivial subgroup. In this paper we investigate the depth of (non-abelian) finite simple groups.…

Kazhdan constants of discrete groups are hard to compute and the actual constants are known only for several classes of groups. By solving a semidefinite programming problem by a computer, we obtain a lower bound of the Kazhdan constant of…

We establish vanishing results for limits of characters in various discrete groups, most notably irreducible lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups. As an application, we show that any sequence of finite-dimensional representations…

Using the notion of existentially closed structures, we obtain embedding theorems for groups and Lie algebras. We also prove the existence of some groups and Lie algebras with prescribed properties.

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. If $G$ is finite then the amenability constant of its Fourier algebra, denoted by ${\rm AM}({\rm A}(G))$, admits an explicit formula [Johnson, JLMS 1994]; if $G$ is infinite then no such formula for ${\rm…

We prove completeness for the main examples of infinite-dimensional Lie groups and some related topological groups.

In this paper, we provide a lower bound for the Cheeger constant and the spectral gap for random complex curves in $\C P^2$. The complex curve is endowed with the restriction of the ambient Fubini-Study metric, and the probability measure…

The discrete Cheeger inequality, due to Alon and Milman (J. Comb. Theory Series B 1985), is an indispensable tool for converting the combinatorial condition of graph expansion to an algebraic condition on the eigenvalues of the graph…

We introduce notions of Cheeger constants for graphons and graphings. We prove Cheeger and Buser inequalities for these. On the way we prove co-area formulae for graphons and graphings.

We prove that the reduced group C*-algebras of infinite countable discrete groups having topologically-free extreme boundaries, or more generally groups that satisfy certain combinatorial property including all acylindrically hyperbolic…

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the…

For any subgraph of a graph, the Laplacian with Neumann boundary condition was introduced by Chung and Yau [CY94]. In this paper, motivated by the Riemannian case, we introduce the Cheeger constants for Neumann problems and prove…

We consider a many-body Hilbert space with a fixed global charge and show that the typical entanglement entropy of a subsystem, at the leading and subleading order in the thermodynamic limit, can be expressed in terms of a single quantity…

We prove a number of results on integrability and extendability of Lie algebras of unbounded skew-symmetric operators with common dense domain in Hilbert space. By integrability for a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, we mean that there is an…

We derive an inequality for the linear entropy, that gives sharp bounds for all finite dimensional systems. The derivation is based on generalised Bloch decompositions and provides a strict improvement for the possible distribution of…

We consider non-negative $\sigma$-finite measure spaces coupled with a proper functional $P$ that plays the role of a perimeter. We introduce the Cheeger problem in this framework and extend many classical results on the Cheeger constant…

We formulate and prove a version of the Segal Conjecture for infinite groups. For finite groups it reduces to the original version. The condition that G is finite is replaced in our setting by the assumption that there exists a finite model…

We introduce a notion of inertial equivalence for integral $\ell$-adic representation of the Galois group of a global field. We show that the collection of continuous, semisimple, pure $\ell$-adic representations of the absolute Galois…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of a simply connected, solvable Lie group~$G$, such that $\Ad_G\Gamma$ has the same Zariski closure as $\Ad G$. If $\alpha \colon \Gamma \to \GL_n(\real)$ is any finite-dimensional representation…

We show that a finitely generated soluble group is virtually nilpotent if and only if the diameter of its finite coset spaces admits a uniform polynomial lower bound in terms of their size. We obtain the same conclusion for certain finitely…
