On varieties of Hilbert type

Lior Bary-Soroker, Arno Fehm, Sebastian Petersen (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

A variety X over a field K is of Hilbert type if X ( K ) is not thin. We prove that if f : X S is a dominant morphism of K -varieties and both S and all fibers f - 1 ( s ) , s S ( K ) , are of Hilbert type, then so is X . We apply this to answer a question of Serre on products of varieties and to generalize a result of Colliot-Thélène and Sansuc on algebraic groups.

On volumes of arithmetic quotients of S O ( 1 , n )

Mikhail Belolipetsky (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We apply G. Prasad’s volume formula for the arithmetic quotients of semi-simple groups and Bruhat-Tits theory to study the covolumes of arithmetic subgroups of S O ( 1 , n ) . As a result we prove that for any even dimension  n there exists a unique compact arithmetic hyperbolic n -orbifold of the smallest volume. We give a formula for the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of the orbifolds and present an explicit description of their fundamental groups as the stabilizers of certain lattices in quadratic spaces. We...

Orbit measures, random matrix theory and interlaced determinantal processes

Manon Defosseux (2010)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

A connection between representation of compact groups and some invariant ensembles of hermitian matrices is described. We focus on two types of invariant ensembles which extend the gaussian and the Laguerre Unitary ensembles. We study them using projections and convolutions of invariant probability measures on adjoint orbits of a compact Lie group. These measures are described by semiclassical approximation involving tensor and restriction multiplicities. We show that a large class of them are determinantal....
