We establish various results on the structure of approximate subgroups in linear groups such as SL_n(k) that were previously announced by the authors. For example, generalising a result of Helfgott (who handled the cases n = 2 and 3), we…

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve of genus $g \ge 1$ over a finite field $\F$ of cardinality $q$. In this paper, we first study $\#\J_C$, the size of the Jacobian of $C$ over $\F$ in case that $\F(C)/\F(X)$ is a geometric Galois…

We show that the lamplighter group L has a system of generators for which the spectrum of the discrete Laplacian on the Cayley graph is a union of an interval and a countable set of isolated points accumulating to a point outside this…

Let K be a finite extension of Qp. We fix a continuous absolutely irreducible representation of the absolute Galois group of K over a finite dimensional vector space with coefficient in a finite field of characteristic p and consider its…

The girth of a finitely generated group G is the supremum of the girth of Cayley graphs for G over all finite generating sets. Let G be a finitely generated subgroup of the mapping class group Mod(S), where S is a compact orientable…

We show that every subset of SL_2(Z/pZ) grows rapidly when it acts on itself by the group operation. It follows readily that, for every set of generators A of SL_2(Z/pZ), every element of SL_2(Z/pZ) can be expressed as a product of at most…

We show that (with one possible exception) there exist strongly dense free subgroups in any semisimple algebraic group over a large enough field. These are nonabelian free subgroups all of whose subgroups are either cyclic or Zariski dense.…

We obtain isoperimetric stability theorems for general Cayley digraphs on $\mathbb{Z}^d$. For any fixed $B$ that generates $\mathbb{Z}^d$ over $\mathbb{Z}$, we characterise the approximate structure of large sets $A$ that are approximately…

We are interested in various aspects of spectral rigidity of Cayley and Schreier graphs of finitely generated groups. For each pair of integers $d\geq 2$ and $m \ge 1$, we consider an uncountable family of groups of automorphisms of the…

Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically connected curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$, and let $G$ be a split semisimple algebraic group over $\mathbb{F}_q$. Its dual group $\hat{G}$ is a split reductive group over $\mathbb{Z}$.…

A map on a surface whose automorphism group has a subgroup acting regularly on its vertices is called a Cayley map. Here we generalize that notion to maniplexes and polytopes. We define $\mathcal{M}$ to be a \emph{Cayley extension} of…

We show that the Cayley graph of the symmetric group $Sym_n$ generated by the cycle $(123...n)$ and the transposition $(12)$ embeds into $L_1$ with bi-Lipschitz distortion $O(1)$. This answers a question of Ostrovskii, and along with…

Let $G$ denote a finite abelian group with identity 1 and let $S$ denote an inverse-closed subset of $G \setminus {1}$, which generates $G$ and for which there exists $s \in S$, such that $\la S \setminus \{s,s^{-1}\} \ra \ne G$. In this…

Let G=PGL(2,q) be the projective general linear group acting on the projective line P_q. A subset S of G is intersecting if for any pair of permutations \pi,\sigma in S, there is a projective point p in P_q such that p^\pi=p^\sigma. We…

We prove in a large number of cases, that a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of a simple real algebraic group $G$ which contains a higher rank lattice is a lattice in the group $G$. For example, we show that a Zariski dense subgroup of…

We prove that all lattices of Sp(2n,R), except those commensurable with Sp(4k+2,Z) when n=2k+1, contain the image of infinitely many mapping class group orbits of Zariski-dense maximal representation that are continuous deformations of…

Let C be a complex smooth projective algebraic curve endowed with an action of a finite group G such that the quotient curve has genus at least 3. We prove that if the G-curve C is very general for these properties, then the natural map…

We study large uniform random maps with one face whose genus grows linearly with the number of edges. They can be seen as a model of discrete hyperbolic geometry. In the past, several of these hyperbolic geometric features have been…

Let $\pi\cln \cX\to S$ and $\pi\cln \cY\to S$ be two smooth families of projective non-uniruled manifolds over a Riemann surface $S$ (probably non-compact). Suppose these two families are pointwise isomorphic. We prove that there exists an…

Real points of Schottky space ${\mathcal S}_{g}$ are in correspondence with extended Kleinian groups $K$ containing, as a normal subgroup, a Schottky group $\Gamma$ of rank $g$ such that $K/\Gamma \cong {\mathbb Z}_{2n}$ for a suitable…
