We give a short axiomatic introduction to Carnot groups and their subRiemannian and subFinsler geometry. We explain how such spaces can be metrically described as exactly those proper geodesic spaces that admit dilations and are…

We calculate the Wess-Zumino term $\Gamma(g)$ for a harmonic map $g$ of a closed surface to a compact, simply connected, simple Lie group $G$ in terms of the energy and the holonomy of the Chern-Simons line bundle on the moduli space of…

Let G be a connected complex simple Lie group with maximal compact subgroup U. Let g be the Lie algebra of G, and X = G/U be the associated Riemannian globally symmetric space of type IV. We have constructed three types of arithmetic…

Let $\Gamma$ be an arbitrary $\mathbb{Z}^n$-periodic metric graph, which does not coincide with a line. We consider the Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}_\varepsilon$ on $\Gamma$ with the action $-\varepsilon^{-1}{\mathrm{d}^2/\mathrm{d} x^2}$ on…

We define a Gauss map for surfaces in the universal cover of the Lie group PSL_2(R) endowed with a left-invariant Riemannian metric having a 4-dimensional isometry group. This Gauss map is not related to the Lie group structure. We prove…

We prove that there exists a constant $\gamma_{\mathrm{crit}}\approx .17566$ such that if $G\sim \mathbb{G}(n,1/2)$ then for any $\varepsilon > 0$ with high probability $G$ has a equipartition such that each vertex has…

We extend the geometric side of Arthur's non-invariant trace formula for a reductive group $G$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ continuously to a natural space $\mathcal{C}(G(\mathbb{A}^1))$ of test functions which are not necessarily compactly…

L. Capogna and M. Cowling showed that if $\phi$ is 1-quasiconformal on an open subset of a Carnot group G, then composition with $\phi$ preserves Q-harmonic functions, where Q denotes the homogeneous dimension of G. Then they combine this…

We show a simple geometric procedure for an extension of a loop realized as the image $\Sigma ^{\ast}$ of a sharply transitive section in a subgroup $G^{\ast}$ of the projective linear group $PGL(n-1, \mathbb K)$ to a loop realized as the…

We give very precise bounds for the congruence subgroup growth of arithmetic groups. This allows us to determine the subgroup growth of irreducible lattices of semisimple Lie groups. In the most general case our results depend on the…

Let $G$ be a group. A function $l:G\rightarrow \lbrack 0,\infty )$ is called a length function if (1) $l(g^{n})=|n|l(g)$ for any $g\in G$ and $n\in \mathbb{Z};$ (2) $l(hgh^{-1})=l(g)$ for any $h,g\in G;$ and (3) $l(ab)\leq l(a)+l(b)$ for…

In the setting of step two Carnot groups, we show a "cone property" for horizontally convex sets. Namely we prove that, given a horizontally convex set $C$, a pair of points $P\in \partial C$ and $Q\in $ int $C$, both belonging to a…

We define finite distortion $\omega$-curves and we show that for some forms $\omega$ and when the distortion function is sufficiently exponentially integrable the map is continuous, differentiable almost everywhere and has Lusin's (N)…

Given a residually connected incidence geometry $\Gamma$ that satisfies two conditions, denoted $(B_1)$ and $(B_2)$, we construct a new geometry $H(\Gamma)$ with properties similar to those of $\Gamma$. This new geometry $H(\Gamma)$ is…

The notion of $\Gamma$-symmetric space is a natural generalization of the classical notion of symmetric space based on $\z_2$-grading of Lie algebras. In our case, we consider homogeneous spaces $G/H$ such that the Lie algebra $\g$ of $G$…

We study the Sard problem for the endpoint map in some well-known classes of Carnot groups. Our first main result deals with step 2 Carnot groups, where we provide lower bounds (depending only on the algebra of the group) on the codimension…

In this note we prove the following theorem in any Carnot group of step two $\mathbb{G}$: \[ \underset{s\nearrow 1/2}{\lim} (1 - 2s) \mathfrak P_{H,s}(E) = \frac{4}{\sqrt \pi}\ \mathfrak P_H(E). \] Here, $\mathfrak P_H(E)$ represents the…

In this paper, we study characteristics of horofunction boundaries of Carnot groups. In particular, we show that for Carnot groups, i.e., stratified nilpotent Lie groups equipped with certain left-invariant homogeneous metrics, all…

Gaussian Graphical Models (GGMs) have wide-ranging applications in machine learning and the natural and social sciences. In most of the settings in which they are applied, the number of observed samples is much smaller than the dimension…

Given a smooth curve $\gamma$ in some $m$-dimensional surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{m+1}$, we study existence and uniqueness of a flat surface $H$ having the same field of normal vectors as $M$ along $\gamma$, which we call a flat…
