We study the group of type-preserving automorphisms of a right-angled building, in particular when the building is locally finite. Our aim is to characterize the proper open subgroups as the finite index closed subgroups of the stabilizers…

In this work we deal with the problem of support estimation under shape restrictions. The shape restriction we deal with is an extension of the notion of convexity named alpha-convexity. Instead of assuming, as in the convex case, the…

In this article, we establish some new combinatorial properties of cone types in Coxeter groups. Firstly, we show that for any element $x$ in a Coxeter group $W$ and root $\beta$ in its inversion set $\Phi(x)$, the set of elements $y \in W$…

We prove that the irreducible affine Coxeter groups are first-order rigid and deduce from this that they are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense. We then show that the first-order theory of any irreducible affine Coxeter group does not…

In this article, we mainly study certain families of continuous retractions ($r$-skeletons) having certain rich properties. By using monotonically retractable spaces we solve a question posed by R. Z. Buzyakova in \cite{buz} concerning the…

Aiming for a revival of the theory of crystallographic complex reflection groups, we compute (minimal) Coxeter-like reflection presentations for the infinite families of those non-genuine groups which satisfy Steinberg's fixed point…

We develop the theory of algebraic groups over real closed fields and apply the results to construct a geometric object $\mathcal{B}$ and to prove that $\mathcal{B}$ is an affine $\Lambda$-building. We use a model theoretic transfer…

The Alesker-Bernig-Schuster theorem asserts that each irreducible representation of the special orthogonal group appears with multiplicity at most one as a subrepresentation of the space of continuous translation-invariant valuations with…

We study a property of $2$-strong uniqueness of a best approximation in a class of finite-dimensional complex normed spaces, for which the unit ball is an absolutely convex hull of finite number of points and in its dual class. We prove…

We prove the dichotomy that every Coxeter group either has a strongly solid group von Neumann algebra or contains the product of an infinite cyclic group and a free group of rank 2. This generalizes the same dichotomy for right-angled…

We formulate and prove examples of a conjecture which describes the W-algebras in type A as successive quantum Hamiltonian reductions of affine vertex algebras associated with several hook-type nilpotent orbits. This implies that the affine…

We present a motivated exposition of the proof of the following Tverberg Theorem: For every integers $d,r$ any $(d+1)(r-1)+1$ points in $\mathbb R^d$ can be decomposed into $r$ groups such that all the $r$ convex hulls of the groups have a…

We define analytic $R$-groups for affine Hecke algebras, and prove the analog of the Knapp-Stein Dimension Theorem. As a corollary we prove that the commutant algebra of a unitary principal series representation is isomorphic to the complex…
