We prove that separable, simple, unital, non-elementary, stably finite C*-algebras that have stable rank one, and that have locally finite nuclear dimension in a tracial sense, have uniform property $\Gamma$. In particular, Villadsen…

We construct for $d\geq 2$ and $\epsilon>0$ a $d$-generated $p$-group $\Gamma$, which in an asymptotic sense behaves almost like a $d$-generated free pro-$p$-group. We show that a subgroup of index $p^n$ needs $(d-\epsilon)p^n$ generators,…

For a class of arithmetic subgroups $\Gamma$ in SU(d,1) we prove that for every positive integer $n$ there exists a subgroup $\Gamma_n$ of finite index in $\Gamma$, which lifts to the $n$-fold connected cover of of SU(d,1). Consequently…

Let $G$ be a linear semisimple Lie group without compact factors. We show that uniform approximate lattices $\Lambda$ arising as regular model sets in $G$ determine the ambient group $G$ in a strong sense. Specifically, for every…

A subcategory of an abelian category is wide if it is closed under sums, summands, kernels, cokernels, and extensions. Wide subcategories provide a significant interface between representation theory and combinatorics. If $\Phi$ is a finite…

Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…

We prove that if $\Gamma$ is a lattice in a classical simple Lie group $G$, then the symmetric space of $G$ is $\Gamma$-equivariantly homotopy equivalent to a proper cocompact $\Gamma$-CW complex of dimension the virtual cohomological…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of fixed graphs and let $d$ be large enough. For every $d$-regular graph $G$, we study the existence of a spanning $\mathcal{F}$-free subgraph of $G$ with large minimum degree. This problem is well-understood…

Let $\Gamma$ be a (non-elementary) convex co-compact group of isometries of a pinched Hadamard manifold $X$. We show that a normal subgroup $\Gamma_0$ has critical exponent equal to the critical exponent of $\Gamma$ if and only if $\Gamma /…

We establish a general spectral gap theorem for actions of products of groups which may replace Kazhdan's property (T) in various situations. As a main application, we prove that a confined subgroup of an irreducible lattice in a higher…

Let $G$ be $\SO(n,1)$ or $\SU(n,1)$ and let $\Gamma\subset G$ denote an arithmetic lattice. The hyperbolic manifold $\Gamma\backslash \calH$ comes with a natural family of covers, coming from the congruence subgroups of $\Gamma$. In many…

We prove a general categorical theorem that enables us to state that under certain conditions, the range of a functor is large. As an application, we prove various results of which the following is a prototype: If every diagram, indexed by…

We study Cartan subalgebras in the context of amalgamated free product II$_1$ factors and obtain several uniqueness and non-existence results. We prove that if $\Gamma$ belongs to a large class of amalgamated free product groups (which…

For $d \geq 4$ and $p$ a sufficiently large prime, we construct a lattice $\Gamma \leq {\rm PSp}_{2d}(\mathbb Q_p),$ such that its universal central extension cannot be sofic if $\Gamma$ satisfies some weak form of stability in…

Let $\Gamma$ be a generic subgroup of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{C}^*$ of nonzero complex numbers. We define a class of Lie algebras associated to $\Gamma$, called twisted $\Gamma$-Lie algebras, which is a natural generalization of…

For a locally compact second countable group G and a lattice subgroup Gamma, we give an explicit quantitative solution of the lattice point counting problem in general domains in G, provided that i) G has finite upper local dimension, and…

A graph $\Gamma$ is $G$-symmetric if $G$ is a group of automorphisms of $\Gamma$ which is transitive on the set of ordered pairs of adjacent vertices of $\Gamma$. If $V(\Gamma)$ admits a nontrivial $G$-invariant partition ${\cal B}$ such…

We study contraction groups for automorphisms of totally disconnected locally compcat groups using the scale of the automorphism as a tool. The contraction group is shown to be unbounded when the inverse automorphism has non-trivial scale…

We prove that an irreducible lattice in a semisimple algebraic group is virtually isomorphic to an arithmetic lattice if and only if it admits a faithful self-similar action on a rooted tree of finite valency.

Let G be a group acting isometrically with discrete orbits on a separable complete CAT(0)-space of bounded topological dimension. Under certain conditions, we give upper bounds for the Bredon cohomological dimension of G for the families of…
