Abstract

We study pair rapid decay for homogeneous spaces \(G/H\) and its applications to random walks and subgroup structure. The entropy framework for groups with rapid decay is extended to homogeneous spaces, proving that the asymptotic Shannon entropy on \(G/H\) agrees with a spectral-radius quantity \(c(G,H;μ)\) for measures with finite entropy and suitable finite moment, and that the lower and upper asymptotic Rényi entropy rates converge to the Shannon entropy as \(α\downarrow1\). For finitely supported measures, we also obtain a spectral-radius formula for the asymptotic Rényi entropy rates \(h_α(X,μ)\), \(α\in(1,2]\), and hence continuity at \(α=1\). We further introduce the notion of subexponential Lorentz control for pairs \((G,H)\) and study the associated classification problems for finitely generated subgroups \(H\le G\) for which \((G,H)\) has pair rapid decay or belongs to \(\mathbf{SLC}_{\mathrm{subexp}}\). We obtain a complete criterion in the strongly relatively hyperbolic case and explicit classifications in several hyperbolic settings. We also show that for \(G=\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb Z)\), \(n\ge3\), the conditions \((G,H)\in \mathbf{SLC}_{\mathrm{subexp}}\), pair rapid decay, and finite index of \(H\) in \(G\) are equivalent.

Word Measures on Wreath Products II

Every word $w$ in $F_r$, the free group of rank $r$, induces a probability measure (the $w$-measure) on every finite group $G$, by substitution of random $G$-elements in the letters. This measure is determined by its Fourier coefficients: the $w$-expectations $E_w[χ]$ of the irreducible characters of $G$. For every finite group $G$, every stable character $χ$ of $G\wr S_n$ (trace of a finitely generated $FI_G$-module), and every word $w\in F_r$, we approximate $E_w[χ]$ up to an error term of $O(n^{-π(w)})$, where $π(w)$ is the primitivity rank of $w$. This generalizes previous works by Puder, Hanany, Magee and the author. As an application we show that random Schreier graphs of representation-stable actions of $G\wr S_n$ are close-to-optimal expanders. The paper reveals a surprising relation between stable representation theory of wreath products and not-necessarily connected Stallings core graphs.

Robust quasi-isometric embeddings inapproximable by Anosov representations

Let $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. For all but finitely many $m\in \mathbb{N}$, we exhibit the first examples of non-locally rigid, Zariski dense, robust quasi-isometric embeddings of hyperbolic groups in $\mathsf{SL}_m(\mathbb{K})$ which are not limits of Anosov representations. As a consequence, we show that higher rank analogues of Sullivan's structural stabilty theorem and of the density theorem for Kleinian groups fail for Anosov representations in $\mathsf{SL}_m(\mathbb{C}), m\geq 30$.

$\mathcal{C}$-Hereditarily conjugacy separable groups and wreath products

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the restricted wreath product $A\wr B$ to be $\mathcal{C}$-hereditarily conjugacy separable where $\mathcal{C}$ is an extension-closed pseudovariety of finite groups. Moreover, we prove that the Grigorchuk group is 2-hereditarily conjugacy separable. As an application, we demonstrate that the lamplighter groups and $\mathbb{Z} \wr \mathbb{Z}$ are hereditarily conjugacy separable (but not $p$-conjugacy separable for any prime $p$). This provides infinitely many new examples of solvable, non-polycyclic hereditarily conjugacy separable groups. Furthermore, we study wreath products of cyclic subgroup separable groups and the derived length of iterated wreath products of solvable groups with an abelian base group and, as an application, we give an explicit construction of non-polycyclic hereditarily conjugacy separable groups of arbitrary derived length as iterated wreath products of abelian groups.
