Approximate lattices of locally compact groups were first studied in a seminal monograph of Yves Meyer and were subsequently used in the theory of aperiodic order to model objects such as Pisot numbers, quasi-cristals or aperiodic tilings.…

We complete the quasi-isometric classification of irreducible lattices in semisimple Lie groups over nondiscrete locally compact fields of characteristic zero by showing that any quasi-isometry of a rank one S-arithmetic lattice in a…

For n>3 we study spaces obtained from finite volume complete real hyperbolic n-manifolds by removing a compact totally geodesic submanifold of codimension two. We prove that their fundamental groups are relative hyperbolic, co-Hopf,…

In this paper we show that if $Y=N \times \mathbb{Q}_m$ is a metric space where $N$ is a Carnot group endowed with the Carnot-Caratheodory metric then any quasisymmetric map of $Y$ is actually bilipschitz. The key observation is that $Y$ is…

We consider the automorphism groups of various Lorentzian lattices over the Eisenstein, Gaussian, and Hurwitz integers, and in some of them we find reflection groups of finite index. These provide new finite-covolume reflection groups…

In 1995, S. Adams and G. Stuck as well as A. Zeghib independently provided a classification of non-compact Lie groups which can act isometrically and locally effectively on compact Lorentzian manifolds. In the case that the corresponding…

Let $X$ denote the non-compact globally Hermitian symmetric space of type $DIII$, namely, $\text{SO}(n,\mathbb{H})/\text{U}(n)$. Let $\Lambda$ be a uniform torsionless lattice in $\text{SO}(n,\mathbb{H})$. In this note we construct certain…

We prove that in a cocompact complex hyperbolic arithmetic lattice $\Gamma < {\rm PU}(m,1)$ of the simplest type, deep enough finite index subgroups admit plenty of homomorphisms to $\mathbb{Z}$ with kernel of type $\mathscr{F}_{m-1}$ but…

The present work is devoted to compact completely solvable solvmanifolds which admit Kahlerian metrics whose Kahler forms are homogeneous. In particular, we show that such manifolds are diffeomorphic to flat tori. Our proof is based on…

In this paper the concept of local embeddability into finite structures (being LEF) for the class of semigroups is expanded with investigations of non-LEF structures, a closely related generalising property of local wrapping of finite…

We investigate a family of groups acting on a regular tree, defined by prescribing the local action almost everywhere. We study lattices in these groups and give examples of compactly generated simple groups of finite asymptotic dimension…

Bass and Kulkarni proved that any pair of free uniform lattices in the automorphism group of a tree have conjugates that both lie inside a third uniform lattice (which is not necessarily free). We show that this does not generalise to trees…

We investigate properties of closed approximate subgroups of locally compact groups, with a particular interest for approximate lattices i.e. those approximate subgroups that are discrete and have finite co-volume. We prove an approximate…

Leighton's Graph Covering Theorem states that if two finite graphs have the same universal covering tree, then they also have a common finite degree cover. Bass and Kulkarni gave an alternative proof of this fact using tree lattices. We…

We investigate which higher rank simple Lie groups admit profinitely but not abstractly commensurable lattices. We show that no such examples exist for the complex forms of type $E_8$, $F_4$, and $G_2$. In contrast, there are arbitrarily…

The unitary representation theory of locally compact contraction groups and their semi-direct products with $\mathbb{Z}$ is studied. We put forward the problem of completely characterising such groups which are type I or CCR and this…

The present paper constructs unbounded quasimorphisms that are invariant under all automorphisms on free products of more than two factors and on graph products of finitely generated abelian groups. This includes many classes of right…

This work is motivated by the problem of finding locally compact group topologies for piecewise full groups (a.k.a.~ topological full groups). We determine that any piecewise full group that is locally compact in the compact-open topology…

We prove that groups in a certain class of metabelian locally compact groups, have quadratic Dehn function. As an application, we embed the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups into finitely presented metabelian groups with quadratic Dehn…

A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group (GBS group) is a finitely generated group $G$ which acts on a tree with all edge and vertex stabilizers infinite cyclic. We show that Out(G) either contains non-abelian free groups or is virtually…
