New rigidity theorem for product of lattices.

The study finds non-uniform lattices with thin Hitchin representations in specific Lie groups.

Non-uniform lattices in PU(n,1) cannot geometrically act on CAT(0) cube complexes.

We prove that if $G$ is a non-uniform lattice in a rank-one semi-simple Lie group $\ne Isom(\H^2_\R)$ then $G$ is quasi-isometrically co-Hopf. This means that every quasi-isometric embedding $G\to G$ is coarsely onto and thus is a quasi-isometry.

The paper proves Zimmer's conjecture for non-uniform lattices by controlling mass escape and Lyapunov exponents.

In this note, we study deformations of a non-uniform real hyperbolic lattice in quaternionic hyperbolic spaces. Specially we show that the representations of the fundamental group of the figure eight knot complement into PU(2,1) cannot be deformed in $PSp(2,1)$ out of PU(2,1) up to conjugacy.

The study finds that certain hyperbolic manifolds contain subgroups isomorphic to surface groups.

Study complex hyperbolic lattices and their relation to strict hyperbolization.

Proof shows volumes of certain geometric representations are always integers.

Let $G$ and $G'$ be simple Lie groups of equal real rank and real rank at least $2$. Let $Γ<G$ and $Λ< G'$ be non-uniform lattices. We prove a theorem that often implies that any quasi-isometric embedding of $Γ$ into $Λ$ is at bounded distance from a homomorphism. For example, any quasi-isometric embedding of $SL(n,\ma…

We study representations of lattices of PU(m,1) into PU(n,1). We show that if a representation is reductive and if m is at least 2, then there exists a finite energy harmonic equivariant map from complex hyperbolic m-space to complex hyperbolic n-space. This allows us to give a differential geometric proof of rigidity …

Study on Čech cohomology of Morse boundaries in hyperbolic manifolds.

The fundamental group of a Riemannian manifold with $δ$-pinched negative curvature, $δ>1/4$, cannot be the fundamental group of a quasicompact Kähler manifold. The proof also implies that a non-uniform lattice in $F_{4(-20)}$ cannot be the fundamental group of a quasicompact Kähler manifold. We also construct examples …

Let $Γ$ be a non-uniform lattice in $PU(p,1)$ without torsion and with $p\geq2$. We introduce the notion of volume for a representation $ρ:Γ\rightarrow PU(m,1)$ where $m \geq p$. We use this notion to generalize the Mostow--Prasad rigidity theorem. More precisely, we show that given a sequence of representations $ρ_n:…

We study the covolumes of arithmetic lattices in $PSL_2(\mathbb R)^n$ for $n\geq 2$ and identify uniform and non-uniform irreducible lattices of minimal covolume. More precisely, let $μ$ be the Euler-Poincaré measure on $PSL_2(\mathbb R)^n$ and $χ=μ/2^n$. We show that the Hilbert modular group $PSL_2(\mathfrak o_{k_{49…

New lattices in higher rank contain a fixed 3-manifold group with increasing systole.

We study quasi-isometric embeddings of symmetric spaces and non-uniform irreducible lattices in semisimple higher rank Lie groups. We show that any quasi-isometric embedding between symmetric spaces of the same rank can be decomposed into a product of quasi-isometric embeddings into irreducible symmetric spaces. We thu…

For $Γ$ a relatively hyperbolic group, we construct a model for the universal space among $Γ$-spaces with isotropy on the family VC of virtually cyclic subgroups of $Γ$. We provide a recipe for identifying the maximal infinite virtually cyclic subgroups of Coxeter groups which are lattices in $O^+(n,1)= \iso(\mathbb H^…

The paper studies random covers of torus knot complements and their statistical properties.

We prove that the semistability growth of hyperbolic groups is linear, which implies that hyperbolic groups which are sci (simply connected at infinity) have linear sci growth. Based on the linearity of the end-depth of finitely presented groups we show that the linear sci is preserved under amalgamated products over f…

Study jigsaw constructions of hyperbolic lattices and answer questions on arithmeticity and pseudomodularity.

In this paper we prove that for suitable sequences of congruence subgroups of Bianchi groups, including the standard exhaustive sequences of a congruence subgroup, and even symmetric powers of the standard representation of Sl_2(C) the size of the torsion part in the first homology grows exponentially. This extends res…

New hyperbolic groups found with specific subgroup properties.

As for the theory of maximal representations, we introduce the volume of a Zimmer's cocycle $Γ\times X \rightarrow \mbox{PO}^\circ(n, 1)$, where $Γ$ is a torsion-free (non-)uniform lattice in $\mbox{PO}^\circ(n, 1)$, with $n \geq 3$, and $X$ is a suitable standard Borel probability $Γ$-space. Our numerical invariant ex…

We investigate the rank gradient and growth of torsion in homology in residually finite groups. As a tool, we introduce a new complexity notion for generating sets, using measured groupoids and combinatorial cost. As an application we prove the vanishing of the above invariants for Farber sequences of subgroups of righ…

We construct arithmetic Kleinian groups that are profinitely rigid in the absolute sense: each is distinguished from all other finitely generated, residually finite groups by its set of finite quotients. The Bianchi group $\mathrm{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z}[ω])$ with $ω^2+ω+1=0$ is rigid in this sense. Other examples include th…

We discuss the geometry of some arithmetic orbifolds locally isometric to a product of real hyperbolic spaces of dimension two and three, and prove that certain sequences of non-uniform orbifolds are convergent to this space in a geometric ("Benjamini--Schramm") sense for hyperbolic three--space and a product of hyperb…

Study on curvature properties and Shafarevich conjecture for complex hyperbolic manifolds.

Develops Kleinian Sphere Packings and Bugs, proving their arithmetic origins.

We produce new cohomology for non-uniform arithmetic lattices $Γ<SO(p,q)$ using a technique of Millson--Raghunathan. From this, we obtain new characteristic classes of manifold bundles with fiber a closed $4k$-dimensional manifold $M$ with indefinite intersection form of signature $(p,q)$. These classes are defined on …

We study the asymptotic behaviour of simply connected, Riemannian manifolds $X$ of strictly negative curvature admitting a non-uniform lattice $Γ$. If the quotient manifold $\bar X= Γ\backslash X$ is asymptotically $1/4$-pinched, we prove that $Γ$ is divergent and $U\bar X$ has finite Bowen-Margulis measure (which is t…

Suppose that all hyperbolic groups are residually finite. The following statements follow: In relatively hyperbolic groups with peripheral structures consisting of finitely generated nilpotent subgroups, quasiconvex subgroups are separable; Geometrically finite subgroups of non-uniform lattices in rank one symmetric sp…

Let $\C(Γ)$ be the set of isomorphism classes of the finite groups that are homomorphic images of $Γ$. We investigate the extent to which $\C(Γ)$ determines $Γ$ when $Γ$ is a group of geometric interest. If $Γ_1$ is a lattice in ${\rm{PSL}}(2,\R)$ and $Γ_2$ is a lattice in any connected Lie group, then $\C(Γ_1) = \C(Γ_…

Bounds on homology of hyperbolic orbifolds using simplicial models.

We prove that almost all geodesics on a noncompact locally symmetric space of finite volume grow with a logarithmic speed -- the higher rank generalization of a theorem of D. Sullivan (1982). More generally, under certain conditions on a sequence of subsets $A_n$ of a homogeneous space $G/Γ$ ($G$ a semisimple Lie group…

Let $X=S\times E \times B$ be the metric product of a symmetric space $S$ of noncompact type, a Euclidean space $E$ and a product $B$ of Euclidean buildings. Let $Γ$ be a discrete group acting isometrically and cocompactly on $X$. We determine a family of quasi-isometry invariants for such $Γ$, namely the $k$-dimension…

New approach to adversarial robustness with non-uniform perturbations.

This work studies the robustness certification problem of neural network models, which aims to find certified adversary-free regions as large as possible around data points. In contrast to the existing approaches that seek regions bounded uniformly along all input features, we consider non-uniform bounds and use it to …

Unified framework for non-uniform materials evolving over time.

We apply stochastic average gradient (SAG) algorithms for training conditional random fields (CRFs). We describe a practical implementation that uses structure in the CRF gradient to reduce the memory requirement of this linearly-convergent stochastic gradient method, propose a non-uniform sampling scheme that substant…

We study primal-dual type stochastic optimization algorithms with non-uniform sampling. Our main theoretical contribution in this paper is to present a convergence analysis of Stochastic Primal Dual Coordinate (SPDC) Method with arbitrary sampling. Based on this theoretical framework, we propose Optimality Violation-ba…

New method detects communities in complex hypergraphs, matching theoretical limits.

We present a novel method for neural network quantization that emulates a non-uniform $k$-quantile quantizer, which adapts to the distribution of the quantized parameters. Our approach provides a novel alternative to the existing uniform quantization techniques for neural networks. We suggest to compare the results as …
