On the growth of -invariants for sequences of lattices in Lie groups

M Abert, N Bergeron, I Biringer, T Gelander… - Annals of …, 2017 - projecteuclid.org
We study the asymptotic behaviour of Betti numbers, twisted torsion and other spectral
invariants of sequences of locally symmetric spaces. Our main results are uniform versions …

Stability and invariant random subgroups

O Becker, A Lubotzky, A Thom - 2019 - projecteuclid.org
Consider Sym (n) endowed with the normalized Hamming metric dn. A finitely generated
group Γ is P-stable if every almost homomorphism ρ nk: Γ→ Sym (nk)(ie, for every g, h∈ Γ …

Stationary characters on lattices of semisimple Lie groups

R Boutonnet, C Houdayer - Publications mathématiques de l'IHÉS, 2021 - Springer
We show that stationary characters on irreducible lattices Γ< G Γ<G of higher-rank
connected semisimple Lie groups are conjugation invariant, that is, they are genuine …

[HTML][HTML] The space of traces of the free group and free products of matrix algebras

J Orovitz, R Slutsky, I Vigdorovich - Advances in Mathematics, 2025 - Elsevier
We show that the space of traces of free products of the form C (X 1)⁎ C (X 2), where X 1
and X 2 are compact metrizable spaces without isolated points, is a Poulsen simplex, ie …

A model for random three-manifolds

B Petri, J Raimbault - Commentarii Mathematici Helvetici, 2022 - ems.press
We study compact three-manifolds with boundary obtained by randomly gluing together
truncated tetrahedra along their faces. We prove that, asymptotically almost surely as the …

On rigid stabilizers and invariant random subgroups of groups of homeomorphisms

T Zheng - arXiv preprint arXiv:1901.04428, 2019 - arxiv.org
A generalization of the double commutator lemma for normal subgroups is shown for
invariant random subgroups of a countable group acting faithfully on a Hausdorff space. As …

Character rigidity of simple algebraic groups

B Bekka - Mathematische Annalen, 2020 - Springer
We prove the following extension of Tits' simplicity theorem. Let kk be an infinite field, G an
algebraic group defined and quasi-simple over k, k, and G (k) G (k) the group of k k-rational …

Spectral gap and character limits in arithmetic groups

A Levit, R Slutsky, I Vigdorovich - arXiv preprint arXiv:2308.05562, 2023 - arxiv.org
We establish vanishing results for limits of characters in various discrete groups, most
notably irreducible lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups. This is achieved by …

Infinitely presented permutation stable groups and invariant random subgroups of metabelian groups

A Levit, A Lubotzky - Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems, 2022 - cambridge.org
We prove that all invariant random subgroups of the lamplighter group L are co-sofic. It
follows that L is permutation stable, providing an example of an infinitely presented such …
