Mean value theorems for collections of lattices with a prescribed group of symmetries

Nihar Prakash Gargava

Euclidean lattices are mathematical objects of increasing interest in the fields of cryptography and error-correcting codes. This doctoral thesis is a study on high-dimensional lattices with the motivation to understand how efficient they are in terms of b ...

The multivariate Serre conjecture ring

Luc Guyot

It is well-known that for any integral domain R, the Serre conjecture ring R(X), i.e., the localization of the univariate polynomial ring R[X] at monic polynomials, is a Bezout domain of Krull dimension

Microscopic field theory for structure formation in systems of self-propelled particles with generic torques

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Elena Sesé Sansa

We derive a dynamical field theory for self-propelled particles subjected to generic torques and forces by explicitly coarse-graining their microscopic dynamics, described by a many-body Fokker-Planck equation. The model includes both intrinsic torques ind ...

Uniformly perfect finitely generated simple left orderable groups

Yash Lodha

We show that the finitely generated simple left orderable groups G(rho) constructed by the first two authors in Hyde and Lodha [Finitely generated infinite simple groups of homeomorphisms of the real line. Invent. Math. (2019), doi:10.1007/s00222-01900880- ...

Simple groups of birational transformations in dimension two

Christian Lucius Urech

We classify simple groups that act by birational transformations on compact complex Kahler surfaces. Moreover, we show that every finitely generated simple group that acts non-trivially by birational transformations on a projective surface over an arbitrar ...

Finitely generated infinite simple groups of homeomorphisms of the real line

Yash Lodha

We construct examples of finitely generated infinite simple groups of homeomorphisms of the real line. Equivalently, these are examples of finitely generated simple left (or right) orderable groups. This answers a well known open question of Rhemtulla from ...

Enantioselective Access to Spirocyclic Sultams by Chiral Cp-x-Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Annulations

Nicolai Cramer, Van Manh Pham

Chiral spirocyclic sultams are a valuable compound class in organic and medicinal chemistry. A rapid entry to this structural motif involves a [3+2] annulation of an N-sulfonyl ketimine and an alkyne. Although the directing-group properties of the imino gr ...

Homogeneous number of free generators

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 ...

Counting conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups for fusion systems

Sejong Park

Thévenaz [6] made an interesting observation that the number of conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups in a finite group G is equal to the rank of the matrix of the numbers of double cosets in G. We give another proof of this fact and present a fusion syste ...

The Dade group of a finite group

Caroline Lassueur

The aim of this paper is to construct an equivalent of the Dade group of a p-group for an arbitrary finite group G, whose elements are equivalences classes of endo-p-permutation modules. To achieve this goal we use the theory of relative projectivity with ...

Simple biset functors and double Burnside ring

Jacques Thévenaz, Serge Bouc

Let G be a finite group and let k be a field. Our purpose is to investigate the simple modules for the double Burnside ring kB(G,G). It turns out that they are evaluations at G of simple biset functors. For a fixed finite group H, we introduce a suitable b ...

Cantor systems, piecewise translations and simple amenable groups

Nicolas Monod

We provide the first examples of finitely generated simple groups that are amenable (and infinite). This follows from a general existence result on invariant states for piecewise-translations of the integers. The states are obtained by constructing a suita ...

Relative Projectivity and Relative Endotrivial Modules

Caroline Lassueur

This dissertation is concerned with modular representation theory of finite groups, and more precisely, with the study of classes of representations, which we shall term relative endotrivial modules. Given a prime number p, a finite group G of order divisi ...

A lattice in more than two Kac–Moody groups is arithmetic

Nicolas Monod

Let Gamma be an irreducible lattice in a product of n infinite irreducible complete Kac–Moody groups of simply laced type over finite fields. We show that if n>2, then each Kac–Moody groups is in fact a simple algebraic group over a local field and Gamma i ...

Decomposing locally compact groups into simple pieces

Nicolas Monod

We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is put on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is shown that such a group possesses a characteristic cocompact sub ...

Multitype Contact Process on Z: Extinction and Interface

Daniel Rodrigues Valesin

We consider a two-type contact process on Z in which both types have equal finite range and supercritical infection rate. We show that a given type becomes extinct with probability 1 if and only if, in the initial configuration, it is confined to a finite ...

Categorical Foundations for K-theory

Nicolas Mathieu Michel

K-Theory was originally defined by Grothendieck as a contravariant functor from a subcategory of schemes to abelian groups, known today as K0. The same kind of construction was then applied to other fields of mathematics, like spaces and (not necessarily c ...

Non-unitarisable representations and random forests

Nicolas Monod

We establish a connection between Dixmier's unitarisability problem and the expected degree of random forests on a group. As a consequence, a residually finite group is non-unitarisable if its first L2-Betti number is non-zero or if it is finitely generate ...

Irreducibility of disconnected subgroups of exceptional algebraic groups

Soumaïa Nadia Ghandour

This dissertation is concerned with the study of irreducible embeddings of simple algebraic groups of exceptional type. It is motivated by the role of such embeddings in the study of positive dimensional closed subgroups of classical algebraic groups. The ...

Modules d'endo-p-permutation

Jean-Marie Urfer

This dissertation is concerned with the study of a new family of representations of finite groups, the endo-p-permutation modules. Given a prime number p, a finite group G of order divisible by p and an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p, we ...
