In this paper, we compute the essential $p$-dimension of the split finite quasi-simple groups of classical Lie type at the defining prime, specifically the quasi-simple groups arising from the general linear and special linear groups, the…

We consider (bounded) Besicovitch sets in the Heisenberg group and prove that $L^p$ estimates for the Kakeya maximal function imply lower bounds for their Heisenberg Hausdorff dimension.

It is well known that the collection of uniformizations of a closed Riemann surface $S$ is partially ordered; the lowest ones are the Schottky unformizations, that is, tuples $(\Omega,\Gamma,P:\Omega \to S)$, where $\Gamma$ is a Schottky…

In this note, we describe the geometry of the quaternionic Heisenberg groups from a Riemannian viewpoint. We show, in all dimensions, that they carry an almost $3$-contact metric structure which allows us to define the metric connection…

We obtain positive lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of sets of real numbers given by expressions of the form $\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{a_n b_n}$, where $b_n$ satisfies some growth condition and $a_n$ lies in some set, possibly…

Let $K$ be a 2-dimensional global field of characteristic $\neq 2$, and let $V$ be a divisorial set of places of $K$. We show that for a given $n \geqslant 5$, the set of $K$-isomorphism classes of spinor groups $G = \mathrm{Spin}_n(q)$ of…

Let $\Lambda<SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ be a finitely generated, non-elementary Fuchsian group of the second kind, and $v, w$ be two primitive vectors in $\mathbb{Z}^2-(0,0)$. We consider the set $\mathcal{S}=\{\langle…

A classical theorem of Bochner asserts that the isometry group of a compact Riemannian manifold with negative Ricci curvature is finite. In this paper we give several extensions of Bochner's theorem by allowing "small" positive Ricci…

In this article, we prove a version of Martin and Skora's conjecture that convergence groups on the $2$-sphere are covered by Kleinian groups. Given a relatively hyperbolic group pair $(G,\mathcal{P})$ with planar boundary and no Sierpinski…

We consider lattices generated by finite Abelian groups. We prove that such a lattice is strongly eutactic, which means the normalized minimal vectors of the lattice form a spherical 2-design, if and only if the group is of odd order or if…

We study presentations, defined by Sidki, resulting in groups $y(m,n)$ that are conjectured to be finite orthogonal groups of dimension $m+1$ in characteristic two. This conjecture, if true, shows an interesting pattern, possibly connected…

Let $I=[0,1)$, $-1<\lambda<1$ and $f\colon I\to I$ be a piecewise $\lambda$-affine map of the interval $I$, i.e., there exist a partition $0=a_0<a_1<\cdots< a_{k-1}<a_k=1$ of the interval $I$ into $k\geq2$ subintervals and $b_1,\ldots,…

We study the finitely generated Hausdorff spectrum of spinal automorphism groups acting on rooted trees. Given any $\alpha \in [0,1]$, we construct a branch group $G_\alpha$ such that $G_\alpha$ has a finitely generated subgroup $H$ where…

Let $K \subset {\mathbb R}^n$ be a compact definable set in an o-minimal structure over $\mathbb R$, e.g., a semi-algebraic or a subanalytic set. A definable family $\{ S_\delta|\> 0< \delta \in {\mathbb R} \}$ of compact subsets of $K$, is…

We construct arithmetic Kleinian groups that are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense: each is distinguished from all other finitely generated, residually finite groups by its set of finite quotients. The Bianchi group…

In this paper we partially answer a question of P. Tukia about the size of the difference between the big horospheric limit set and the horospheric limit set of a Kleinian group. We mainly investigate the case of normal subgroups of…

In this dissertation we define a generalization of Kakeya sets in certain metric spaces. Kakeya sets in Euclidean spaces are sets of zero Lebesgue measure containing a segment of length one in every direction. A famous conjecture, known as…

We study a class of simple dimension groups in which the cyclic subgroup generated by the order unit is replaced by a copy of $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ satisfying some strict conditions. Our main results are necessary and sufficient conditions on a…

We prove that no quantifier-free formula in the language of group theory can define the $\aleph_1$-half graph in a Polish group, thus generalising some results from [6]. We then pose some questions on the space of groups of automorphisms of…

We extend classical results of Bridgeman-Taylor and McMullen on the Hessian of the Hausdorff dimension on quasi-Fuchsian space to the class of (1,1,2)-hyperconvex representations, a class introduced in arXiv:1902.01303 which includes small…
