We give a complete characterization of the locally compact groups that are nonelementary Gromov-hyperbolic and amenable. They coincide with the class of mapping tori of discrete or continuous one-parameter groups of compacting automorphisms. We moreover gi ...
A finitely generated subgroup F of a real Lie group G is said to be Diophantine if there is beta > 0 such that non-trivial elements in the word ball B-Gamma(n) centered at 1 is an element of F never approach the identity of G closer than broken vertical ba ...
This note is motivated by a recently published paper (Biswas and Mukherjee in Commun Math Phys 322(2):373-384, 2013). We prove a no-go result for the existence of suitable solutions of the Strominger system in a compact complex parallelizable manifold . Fo ...
We address two questions of Simon Thomas. First, we show that for any n >= 3 one can find a four-generated free subgroup of SLn (Z) which is profinitely dense. More generally, we show that an arithmetic group Gamma that admits the congruence subgroup prope ...
We provide characterizations of p-nilpotency for fusion systems and p-local finite groups that are inspired by known result for finite groups. In particular, we generalize criteria by Atiyah, Brunetti, Frobenius, Quillen, Stammbach and Tate. ...
We show that Brauer classes of a locally solvable degree 4 del Pezzo surface X are vertical for some projection away from a plane g : X -> P-1, i.e., that every Brauer class is obtained by pullback from an element of Br k(P-1). As a consequence, we prove t ...
We prove that the category of systems of sesquilinear forms over a given hermitian category is equivalent to the category of unimodular 1-hermitian forms over another hermitian category. The sesquilinear forms are not required to be unimodular or defined o ...
The present paper is a summary and overview of results obtained in the author's thesis, "L-2-Betti Numbers of Locally Compact Groups", wherein the definition of L-2-Betti numbers for countable groups is extended to locally compact unimodular groups. In man ...
We prove upper bounds for Hecke-Laplace eigenfunctions on certain Riemannian manifolds X of arithmetic type, uniformly in the eigenvalue and the volume of the manifold. The manifolds under consideration are d-fold products of 2-spheres or 3-spheres, realiz ...
