Fix an integer $n\ge 2$. To each non-zero point $\mathbf{u}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, one attaches several numbers called exponents of Diophantine approximation. However, as Khintchine first observed, these numbers are not independent of each…

We introduce and systematically study linear sofic groups and linear sofic algebras. This generalizes amenable and LEF groups and algebras. We prove that a group is linear sofic if and only if its group algebra is linear sofic. We show that…

The Haar functional on the quantum $SU(2)$ group is the analogue of invariant integration on the group $SU(2)$. If restricted to a subalgebra generated by a self-adjoint element the Haar functional can be expressed as an integral with a…

For a quasi-split Satake diagram, we define a modified $q$-Weyl algebra, and show that there is an algebra homomorphism between it and the corresponding $\imath$quantum group. In other words, we provide a differential operator approach to…

On real metric manifolds admitting a co-dimension one foliation, sectorial operators are introduced that interpolate between the generalized Laplacian and the d'Alembertian. This is used to construct a one-parameter family of analytic…

Through examples, we illustrate how to compute differential operators on a quotient of an affine semigroup ring by a radical monomial ideal, when working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0.

We introduce the notion of a tight cofinitary group, which captures forcing indestructibility of maximal cofinitary groups for a long list of partial orders, including Cohen, Sacks, Miller, Miller partition forcing and Shelah's poset for…

A number alpha in R is diophantine if it is not well approximable by rationals, i.e. for some C, nu>0 and any relatively prime p, q in Z we have |alpha q -p|>C q^{-1-\vu}. It is well-known and easy to prove that almost every alpha in R is…

We study concentration operators associated with either the discrete or the continuous Fourier transform, that is, operators that incorporate a spatial cut-off and a subsequent frequency cut-off to the Fourier inversion formula. Their…

We study self-adjoint semigroups of partial isometries on a Hilbert space. These semigroups coincide precisely with faithful representations of abstract inverse semigroups. Groups of unitary operators are specialized examples of…

We consider cuspidal representations in spaces of automorphic forms for the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_0(I)$ of Hilbert modular groups for some number field $F$. To each such representation are associated the eigenvalue $\lambda_j$ of the…

Starting with an operator in the universal enveloping algebra of a semi-simple, complex Lie group the nearest neighbor statistics of the spectra of this operator along a sequence of representations are discussed. After a short introduction…

In a 1983 paper the author has established a (decategorified) Satake equivalence for affine Hecke algebras. In this paper we give new proofs for some results of that paper, one based on the theory of J-rings and one based on the known…

Let $\Lambda$ be a subgroup of an arithmetic lattice in SO(n+1,1). The quotient $\mathbb{H}^{n+1} / \Lambda$ has a natural family of congruence covers corresponding to primes in some ring of integers. We establish a super-strong…

We study a new class of Fourier integral operators defined in R^N. Their symbols are allowed to satisfy a differential inequality with certain multi-parameter characteristic. We prove these operators of order -(N-1)/2 bounded from the…

We initiate the study of an intrinsic notion of Diophantine approximation on a rational Carnot group $G$. If $G$ has Hausdorff dimension $Q$, we show that its Diophantine exponent is equal to $(Q+1)/Q$, generalizing the case $G=\mathbb…

In connection to the Fuglede conjecture, and to Fuglede's original work \cite{Fug74}, we study one-parameter unitary groups associated to self-adjoint extensions of the differential operator $Df=\frac1{2\pi i}f'$ on a union of finite…

We develop a version of controlled algebra for simplicial rings. This generalizes the methods which lead to successful proofs of the algebraic K- theory isomorphism conjecture (Farrell-Jones Conjecture) for a large class of groups. This is…

We describe the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of real-analytic, non-self-adjoint Berezin--Toeplitz operators, up to exponentially small error, on complex one-dimensional compact manifolds, under the hypothesis of regularity of the energy…

We say that a finite almost simple $G$ with socle $S$ is admissible (with respect to the spectrum) if $G$ and $S$ have the same sets of orders of elements. Let $L$ be a finite simple linear or unitary group of dimension at least three over…
