$ $Abert, Gelander and Nikolov [AGN17] conjectured that the number of generators $d(\Gamma)$ of a lattice $\Gamma$ in a high rank simple Lie group $H$ grows sub-linearly with $v = \mu(H / \Gamma)$, the co-volume of $\Gamma$ in $H$. We prove…

Let $\Lambda = \mathrm{SL}_2(\Bbb Z)$ be the modular group and let $c_n(\Lambda)$ be the number of congruence subgroups of $\Lambda$ of index at most $n$. We prove that $\lim\limits_{n\to \infty} \frac{\log c_n(\Lambda)}{(\log n)^2/\log\log…

We provide a "soft" proof for non-trivial bounds on spherical, hyperbolic and unipotent Fourier coefficients of a fixed Maass form for a general co-finite lattice $\Gamma$ in $PGL(2,R)$. We use the amplification method based on the Airy…

We study the error of the number of points of a unimodular lattice that fall in a strictly convex and analytic set having the origin and that is dilated by a factor $t$. The aim is to generalize the result of a previous article. We first…

We calculate the homology of three families of 2-step nilpotent Lie (super)algebras associated with the symplectic, orthogonal, and general linear groups. The symplectic case was considered by Getzler and the main motivation for this work…

An important problem in analytic and geometric combinatorics is estimating the number of lattice points in a compact convex set in a Euclidean space. Such estimates have numerous applications throughout mathematics. In this note, we exhibit…

We show that an approximate lattice in a nilpotent Lie group admits a relatively dense subset of central $(1-\epsilon)$-Bragg peaks for every $\epsilon > 0$. For the Heisenberg group we deduce that the union of horizontal and vertical…

Let $N$ be a simply connected, connected nilpotent Lie group with the following assumptions. Its Lie Lie algebra $\mathfrak{n}$ is an $n$-dimensional vector space over the reals. Moreover,…

This paper deals with naturally reductive pseudo-Riemannian 2-step nilpotent Lie groups $(N, \la \,,\,\ra_N)$, such that $\la \,,\,\ra_N$ is invariant under a left action. The case of nondegenerate center is completely characterized. In…

We introduce the H-type deviation $\delta({\mathbb G})$ of a step two Carnot group ${\mathbb G}$, which measures the deviation of the group from the class of Heisenberg-type groups. We show that $\delta({\mathbb G})=0$ if and only if…

We consider the problem of estimating the error term $\mathcal{E}_{q}(x)=\big|\mathbb{Z}^{2q+1}\cap\delta_{x}\mathcal{B}\big|-\textit{vol}\big(\mathcal{B}\big)x^{2q+2}$ which occurs in the counting of lattice points in Heisenberg dilates of…

We establish the (non-lattice) local limit theorem for products of i.i.d. random variables on an arbitrary simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$, where the variables are allowed to be non-centered. Our result also improves on the known…

We begin a systematic study of these spaces, initially following along the lines of Eberlein's comprehensive study of the Riemannian case. In particular, we integrate the geodesic equation, discuss the structure of the isometry group, and…

We study the error of the number of points of a lattice $L$ that belong to a rectangle, centred at $0$, whose axes are parallel to the coordinate axes, dilated by a factor $t$ and then translated by a vector $X \in \mathbb{R}^{2}$. When we…

We investigate the connections between some simple Maier-Saupe lattice models, with a discrete choice of orientations of the microscopic directors, and a recent proposal of a two-tensor formalism to describe the phase diagrams of nematic…

Let $X$ be a smooth quasi-projective variety. Assume that the (topological) fundamental group $\pi_1(X, x)$ is torsion-free nilpotent. We show that if the first Betti number $b_1(X) \le 3$, then $\pi_1(X, x)$ is isomorphic to either…

Let $X=G/K$ be a symmetric space of noncompact type and rank $k\ge 2$. We prove that horospheres in $X$ are Lipschitz $(k-2)$--connected if their centers are not contained in a proper join factor of the spherical building of $X$ at…

We prove functional limit theorems for lattice point counting for affine and congruence lattices using the method of moments. Our main tools are higher moment formulae for Siegel transforms on the corresponding homogeneous spaces, which we…

We prove that each $3$-dimensional connected topological loop $L$ having a solvable Lie group of dimension $\le 5$ as the multiplication group of $L$ is centrally nilpotent of class $2$. Moreover, we classify the solvable non-nilpotent Lie…

We prove that if $\Gamma$ is an icc irreducible lattice in a product of connected non-compact rank one simple Lie groups with finite center, then the II$_1$ factor $L(\Gamma)$ is prime. In particular, we deduce that the II$_1$ factors…
