Let $\Gamma_{g}$ be the fundamental group of a closed connected orientable surface of genus $g\geq2$. We develop a new method for integrating over the representation space $\mathbb{X}_{g,n}=\mathrm{Hom}(\Gamma_{g},S_{n})$ where $S_{n}$ is…

Let $\Gamma$ be the fundamental group of a closed, orientable, hyperbolic surface $S$. The $n$-power quotient, $\Gamma(n)$, is the quotient of $\Gamma$ by the $n$th powers of simple closed curves. We prove an analogue of the…

Let $S$ be a punctured Riemann surface with Euler characteristic $\chi(S)<0$. For any unitary representation $\rho: \pi_1(S) \to U(N)$, we introduce its renormalized energy and its harmonic representatives, which are equivariant harmonic…

Let $X$ be an orientable hyperbolic surface of genus $g\geq 2$ with a marked point $o$, and let $\Gamma$ be an orientable hyperbolic surface group isomorphic to $\pi_{1}(X,o)$. Consider the space $\text{Hom}(\Gamma,S_{n})$ which corresponds…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group acting by probability measure preserving maps on the standard Borel space $(X,\mu)$. We show that if $H\leq\Gamma$ is a subgroup with relative spectral radius greater than the global spectral…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group which is hyperbolic relative to a finite family $\{H_1,...,H_n\}$ of subgroups. We prove that $\Gamma$ is uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space if and only if each subgroup $H_i$ is uniformly…

We show that there is a constant $c>0$ such that a genus $g$ closed hyperbolic surface, sampled at random from the moduli space $\mathcal{M}_{g}$ with respect to the Weil-Petersson probability measure, has Laplacian spectral gap at least…

In this note we show that the recent work of Magee, Puder and van Handel [MPvH25] can be applied to obtain an optimal spectral gap result with polynomial error rate for uniformly random covers of closed hyperbolic surfaces. Let $X$ be a…

A family of random matrices $\boldsymbol{X}^N=(X_1^N,\ldots,X_d^N)$ is said to converge strongly to a family of bounded operators $\boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,\ldots,x_d)$ when $\|P(\boldsymbol{X}^N,\boldsymbol{X}^{N*})\|\to\|P(\boldsymbol{x},…

We extend the polynomial method of Chen--Garza-Vargas--Tropp--van Handel and Magee--Puder--van Handel for operator-norm bounds in random permutation models to the setting where torsion is present. The main new feature is that asymptotic…

Starting with a collection of $n$ oriented polygonal discs, with an even number $N$ of sides in total, we generate a random oriented surface by randomly matching the sides of discs and properly gluing them together. Encoding the surface in…

We prove that if $X$ is a finite area non-compact hyperbolic surface, then for any $\epsilon>0$, with probability tending to one as $n\to\infty$, a uniformly random degree $n$ Riemannian cover of $X$ has no eigenvalues of the Laplacian in…

We extend Friedman's theorem to show that, for any fixed $r>1$, a random $2r$--regular Schreier graph associated with the action of $r$ uniformly random permutations of $[n]$ on $k_{n}$--tuples of distinct elements in $[n]$ has a…

Denote by $\Gamma$ the set of pointwise good sequences. Those are sequences of real numbers $(a_k)$ such that for any measure preserving flow $(U_t)_{t\in \mathbb R}$ on a probability space and for any $f\in L^\infty$, the averages…

We study random covers of a closed hyperbolic surface $\Sigma$, subject to the condition that, for $k\geq 2$, the fundamental group is isomorphic to the free group $F_k$. We show that asymptotically they distribute according to a specific…

Let $\Gamma$ be a word hyperbolic group with a cyclic JSJ decomposition that has only rigid vertex groups, which are all fundamental groups of closed surface groups. We show that any group $H$ quasi-isometric to $\Gamma$ is abstractly…

In this paper we study random representations of fundamental groups of surfaces into special unitary groups. The random model we use is based on a symplectic form on moduli space due to Atiyah, Bott, and Goldman. Let $\Sigma_{g}$ denote a…

Fix $c\in (0,1)$ and let $\Gamma$ be a $\lfloor c n\rfloor$-regular digraph on $n$ vertices drawn uniformly at random. We prove that when $n$ is large, the (non-symmetric) adjacency matrix $M$ of $\Gamma$ is invertible with high…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Zariski dense convex cocompact subgroup contained in an arithmetic lattice of $\operatorname{SO}(n, 1)^{\circ}$. We prove uniform exponential mixing of the geodesic flow for congruence covers of the hyperbolic manifold…

In this article, we obtain a super-exponential rate of convergence in total variation between the traces of the first $m$ powers of an $n\times n$ random unitary matrices and a $2m$-dimensional Gaussian random variable. This generalizes…
