Correspondence functors and duality

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

A correspondence functor is a functor from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. By means of a suitably defined duality, new correspondence functors are constructed, having remarkable p ...

Dense Packings via Lifts of Codes to Division Rings

Vlad Serban, Nihar Prakash Gargava

obtain algorithmically effective versions of the dense lattice sphere packings constructed from orders in Q-division rings by the first author. The lattices in question are lifts of suitable codes from prime characteristic to orders O in Q-division rings a ...

BLOOM: Bimodal Lattice One-out-of-Many Proofs and Applications

Ngoc Khanh Karol Nguyen

We give a construction of an efficient one-out-of-many proof system, in which a prover shows that he knows the pre-image for one element in a set, based on the hardness of lattice problems. The construction employs the recent zero-knowledge framework of Ly ...

Idempotents in the endomorphism algebra of a finite lattice

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

We give a direct construction of a specific central idempotent in the endomorphism algebra of a finite lattice T. This idempotent is associated with all possible sublattices of T which are totally ordered. A generalization is considered in a conjectural fa ...

The algebra of Boolean matrices, correspondence functors, and simplicity

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

We determine the dimension of every simple module for the algebra of the monoid of all relations on a finite set (i.e. Boolean matrices). This is in fact the same question as the determination of the dimension of every evaluation of a simple correspondence ...

Correspondence functors and lattices

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

A correspondence functor is a functor from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. A main tool for this study is the construction of a correspondence functor associated to any finite latt ...

Group Actions On Dendrites And Curves

Nicolas Monod

We establish obstructions for groups to act by homeomorphisms on dendrites. For instance, lattices in higher rank simple Lie groups will always fix a point or a pair. The same holds for irreducible lattices in products of connected groups. Further results ...

The representation theory of finite sets and correspondences

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

We investigate correspondence functors, namely the functors from the category of finite sets and correspondences to the category of k-modules, where k is a commutative ring. They have various specific properties which do not hold for other types of functor ...

Product groups acting on manifolds

Nicolas Monod

We analyse volume-preserving actions of product groups on Riemannian manifolds. Under a natural spectral irreducibility assumption, we prove the following dichotomy: Either the action is measurably isometric, in which case there are at most two factors; or ...

Isometry groups of non-positively curved spaces: Discrete subgroups

Nicolas Monod

We study lattices in non-positively curved metric spaces. Borel density is established in that setting as well as a form of Mostow rigidity. A converse to the flat torus theorem is provided. Geometric arithmeticity results are obtained after a detour throu ...
