A solution to Comfort's question on the countable compactness of powers of a topological group

Artur Hideyuki Tomita (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

In 1990, Comfort asked Question 477 in the survey book “Open Problems in Topology”: Is there, for every (not necessarily infinite) cardinal number α 2 , a topological group G such that G γ is countably compact for all cardinals γ < α, but G α is not countably compact? Hart and van Mill showed in 1991 that α = 2 answers this question affirmatively under M A c o u n t a b l e . Recently, Tomita showed that every finite cardinal answers Comfort’s question in the affirmative, also from M A c o u n t a b l e . However, the question has remained...

A spectral gap property for subgroups of finite covolume in Lie groups

Bachir Bekka, Yves Cornulier (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let G be a real Lie group and H a lattice or, more generally, a closed subgroup of finite covolume in G. We show that the unitary representation λ G / H of G on L²(G/H) has a spectral gap, that is, the restriction of λ G / H to the orthogonal complement of the constants in L²(G/H) does not have almost invariant vectors. This answers a question of G. Margulis. We give an application to the spectral geometry of locally symmetric Riemannian spaces of infinite volume.

A spectral gap theorem in SU ( d )

Jean Bourgain, Alex Gamburd (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We establish the spectral gap property for dense subgroups of SU ( d ) ( d 2 ) , generated by finitely many elements with algebraic entries; this result was announced...

A spectral Paley-Wiener theorem for the Heisenberg group and a support theorem for the twisted spherical means on n

E. K. Narayanan, S. Thangavelu (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove a spectral Paley-Wiener theorem for the Heisenberg group by means of a support theorem for the twisted spherical means on n . If f ( z ) e 1 4 | z | 2 is a Schwartz class function we show that f is supported in a ball of radius B in n if and only if f × μ r ( z ) = 0 for r &gt; B + | z | for all z n . This is an analogue of Helgason’s support theorem on Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces. When n = 1 we show that the two conditions f × μ r ( z ) = μ r × f ( z ) = 0 for r &gt; B + | z | imply a support theorem for a large class of functions with exponential growth. Surprisingly enough,this latter...

A theorem on generic intersections in an o-minimal structure

Krzysztof Jan Nowak (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Consider a transitive definable action of a Lie group G on a definable manifold M. Given two (locally) definable subsets A and B of M, we prove that the dimension of the intersection σ(A) ∩ B is not greater than the expected one for a generic σ ∈ G.
