On a quantitative version of the Oppenheim conjecture.
Let be an irreducible lattice in a product of simple groups. Assume that has a factor with property (T). We give a description of the topology in a neighbourhood of the trivial one dimensional representation of in terms of the topology of the dual space of .We use this result to give a new proof for the triviality of the first cohomology group of with coefficients in a finite dimensional unitary representation.
This is a small survey paper about connections between the arithmetic and geometric properties in the case of arithmetic Fuchsian groups.
In this paper we continue the investigation of [7]-[10] concerning the actions of discrete subgroups of Lie groups on compact manifolds.
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 finitely generated one-ended groups. Eventually one proves that most non-uniform lattices have linear sci.
In this paper we survey some recent results on rank one symmetric space.
We give a lower bound for the bottom of the differential form spectrum on hyperbolic manifolds, generalizing thus a well-known result due to Sullivan and Corlette in the function case. Our method is based on the study of the resolvent associated with the Hodge-de Rham laplacian and leads to applications for the (co)homology and topology of certain classes of hyperbolic manifolds.
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 . As a result we prove that for any even dimension there exists a unique compact arithmetic hyperbolic -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...
