We prove decoupling inequalities for random polynomials in independent random variables with coefficients in vector space. We use various means of comparison, including rearrangement invariant norms (e.g., Orlicz and Lorentz norms), tail…

Let $G$ be a noncompact semisimple algebraic group with trivial center, $S < G$ a maximal split torus, $H < G$ the centralizer of $S$ in $G$ and $\Gamma < G$ an irreducible lattice. Consider the group measure space von Neumann algebra…

The heat semigroup on discrete hypercubes is well-known to be contractive over $L_p$-spaces for $1<p<\infty$. A question of Mendel and Naor \cite{MN14} concerns a stronger contraction property in the tail spaces, which is known as the…

We prove several interesting equalities for the integrals of higher order derivatives on the homogeneous groups. As consequences, we obtain the sharp Hardy--Rellich type inequalities for higher order derivatives including both the…

We give strengthened versions of the Herwig-Lascar and Hodkinson-Otto extension theorems for partial automorphisms of finite structures. Such strengthenings yield several combinatorial and group-theoretic consequences for homogeneous…

Let V be a compact Kahler manifold. Let G' be a commutative subgroup of Aut(V) and U the set of elements of zero entropy of G'. Then U is a group and G' is isomorphic to the direct product of groups U and G where G is a subgroup of G' such…

In this article, we consider actions of \mathcal{Z}_+^d, \mathcal{R}_+^d and finitely generated free groups on a von Neumann algebras $M$ and prove a version of maximal ergodic inequality. Additionally, we establish non-commutative…

We give a new formulation of some of our recent results on the following problem: if all uniformly bounded representations on a discrete group $G$ are similar to unitary ones, is the group amenable? In \S 5, we give a new proof of…

Haagerup and Thorbj{\o}rnsen proved that iid GUEs converge strongly to free semicircular elements as the dimension grows to infinity. Motivated by considerations from quantum physics -- in particular, understanding nearest neighbor…

We prove a homological stability theorem for families of discrete groups (e.g. mapping class groups, automorphism groups of free groups, braid groups) with coefficients in a sequence of irreducible algebraic representations of arithmetic…

We classify all closed, aspherical Riemannian manifolds M whose universal cover has indiscrete isometry group. One sample application is the theorem that any such M with word-hyperbolic fundamental group must be isometric to a negatively…

The analogue of Lagrangians for symplectic forms over finite groups is studied, motivated by the fact that symplectic G-forms with a normal Lagrangian N<G are in one-to-one correspondence, up to inflation, with bijective 1-cocycle data on…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. One may ask when a general $R$-module $P$ that satisfies $P \oplus R \cong R^n$ has a free summand of a given rank. M. Raynaud translated this question into one about sections of certain maps between Stiefel…

We develop a general theory for irreducible homogeneous spaces $M= G/H$, in relation to the nullity $\nu$ of their curvature tensor. We construct natural invariant (different and increasing) distributions associated with the nullity, that…

The theorem on the existence of three commuting contractions on a Hilbert space and of a linear homogeneous matrix function of three independent variables for which the generalized von Neumann inequality fails is proved.

For an arbitrary proper DG algebra A (i.e. DG algebra with finite dimensional total cohomology) we introduce a pairing on the Hochschild homology of A and present an explicit formula for a Chern-type character of an arbitrary perfect…

We investigate representations of K\"ahler groups $\Gamma = \pi_1(X)$ to a semisimple non-compact Hermitian Lie group $G$ that are deformable to a representation admitting an (anti)-holomorphic equivariant map. Such representations obey a…

The Grothendieck-Serre conjecture predicts that every generically trivial torsor under a reductive group $G$ over a regular semilocal ring $R$ is trivial. We establish this for unramified $R$ granted that $G^{\mathrm{ad}}$ is totally…

We prove the strong Macdonald conjecture of Hanlon and Feigin for reductive groups G. In a geometric reformulation, we show that the Dolbeault cohomology $H^q(X;\Omega^p)$ of the loop Grassmannian X is freely generated by de Rham's forms on…

We show that the (topological) full group of a minimal pseudogroup over the Cantor set satisfies various rigidity phenomena of topological dynamical and combinatorial nature. Our main result applies to its possible homomorphisms into other…
