Exact structures for operator modules
We demonstrate how exact structures can be placed on the additive category of right operator modules over an operator algebra in order to discuss global dimension for operator algebras. The properties of the Haagerup tensor product play a decisive rol…

On combinatorics of the Arthur trace formula, convex polytopes, and toric varieties
We explicate the combinatorial/geometric ingredients of Arthur’s proof of the convergence and polynomiality, in a truncation parameter, of his noninvariant trace formula. Starting with a fan in a real, finite dimensional, vector space and a collection…

N-colored generalized Frobenius partitions: generalized Kolitsch identities
Let
be squarefree with
. Let
denote the number of N-colored generalized Frobenius partitions of n introduced by Andrews in 1984, and
denote the number of partitions of n. We prove
where
is a cusp form in

On multiplicative energy of subsets of varieties
We obtain a nontrivial upper bound for the multiplicative energy of any sufficiently large subset of a subvariety of a finite algebraic group. We also find some applications of our results to the growth of conjugates classes, estimates of exponential…

Euler characteristics and their congruences for multisigned Selmer groups
The notion of the truncated Euler characteristic for Iwasawa modules is a generalization of the the usual Euler characteristic to the case when the Selmer groups are not finite. Let p be an odd prime,
and
be elliptic curves over a number …

Invariants for metabelian groups of prime power exponent, colorings, and stairs
We study the free metabelian group
of prime power exponent n on two generators by means of invariants
that we construct from colorings of the squares in the integer grid
. In particular, we improve bounds found by Newman for the orde…

On the multiplication of spherical functions of reductive spherical pairs of type A
Let G be a simple complex algebraic group, and let
be a reductive subgroup such that the coordinate ring of
is a multiplicity-free G-module. We consider the G-algebra structure of
and study the decomposition into irreducible summands…

Polynomiality of factorizations in reflection groups
We study the number of ways of factoring elements in the complex reflection groups
as products of reflections. We prove a result that compares factorization numbers in
to those in the symmetric group
, and we use this comparison, along …

Eisenstein metrics
We study families of metrics on automorphic vector bundles associated with representations of the modular group. These metrics are defined using an Eisenstein series construction. We show that in certain cases, the residue of these Eisenstein metrics…
