Propriétés de mélange du flot des chambres de Weyl des groupes de Ping-Pong

Xavier Thirion (2009)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Dans cet article, nous étudions le flot des chambres de Weyl d’une large classe de sous-groupe discrets d’un groupe de Lie semi-simple réel : les groupes de Ping-Pong. Nous montrons que ce flot est mélangeant relativement à la mesure de Patterson-Sullivan ; celle-ci étant infinie en rang 2 , nous précisons cette propriété de mélange en explicitant sa vitesse dans le direction du vecteur de croissance du groupe.

Quantitative spectral gap for thin groups of hyperbolic isometries

Michael Magee (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let Λ be a subgroup of an arithmetic lattice in SO ( n + 1 , 1 ) . The quotient n + 1 / Λ has a natural family of congruence covers corresponding to ideals in a ring of integers. We establish a super-strong approximation result for Zariski-dense Λ with some additional regularity and thickness properties. Concretely, this asserts a quantitative spectral gap for the Laplacian operators on the congruence covers. This generalizes results of Sarnak and Xue (1991) and Gamburd (2002).

Quotients compacts des groupes ultramétriques de rang un

Fanny Kassel (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Soit G l’ensemble des points d’un groupe algébrique semi-simple connexe de rang relatif un sur un corps local ultramétrique. Nous décrivons tous les sous-groupes discrets de type fini sans torsion de  G × G qui agissent proprement et cocompactement sur  G par multiplication à gauche et à droite. Nous montrons qu’après une petite déformation dans  G × G un tel sous-groupe agit encore librement, proprement discontinûment et cocompactement sur  G .

Relative property (T) and linear groups

Talia Fernós (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Relative property (T) has recently been used to show the existence of a variety of new rigidity phenomena, for example in von Neumann algebras and the study of orbit-equivalence relations. However, until recently there were few examples of group pairs with relative property (T) available through the literature. This motivated the following result: A finitely generated group Γ admits a special linear representation with non-amenable R -Zariski closure if and only if it acts on an Abelian group A (of...

Representation growth of linear groups

Michael Larsen, Alexander Lubotzky (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let Γ be a group and r n ( Γ ) the number of its n -dimensional irreducible complex representations. We define and study the associated representation zeta function 𝒵 Γ ( s ) = n = 1 r n ( Γ ) n - s . When Γ is an arithmetic group satisfying the congruence subgroup property then 𝒵 Γ ( s ) has an “Euler factorization”. The “factor at infinity” is sometimes called the “Witten zeta function” counting the rational representations of an algebraic group. For these we determine precisely the abscissa of convergence. The local factor at a finite place...

Rigidity and L 2 cohomology of hyperbolic manifolds

Gilles Carron (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

When X = Γ n is a real hyperbolic manifold, it is already known that if the critical exponent is small enough then some cohomology spaces and some spaces of L 2 harmonic forms vanish. In this paper, we show rigidity results in the borderline case of these vanishing results.
