For any right-angled Artin group $A_{Gamma}$ we construct a finite-dimensional space $mathcal{O}_{Gamma}$ on which the group $text{Out}(A_{Gamma})$ of outer automorphisms of $A_{Gamma}$ acts properly. We prove that $mathcal{O}_{Gamma}$ is contractible, so that the quotient is a rational classifying space for $text{Out}(A_{Gamma})$. The space $mathcal{O}_{Gamma}$ blends features of the symmetric space of lattices in $mathbb{R}^n$ with those of Outer space for the free group $F_n$. Points in $mathcal{O}_{Gamma}$ are locally CAT(0) metric spaces that are homeomorphic (but not isometric) to certain locally CAT(0) cube complexes, marked by an isomorphism of their fundamental group with $A_{Gamma}$.

If q1 and q2 are two coprime bases, f (resp. g) a strongly q1-multiplicative (resp. strongly q2-multiplicative) function of modulus 1 and θ a real number, we estimate the sums ∑ n≤x Λ(n)f(n)g(n) exp(2iπθn) (and ∑ n≤x μ(n)f(n)g(n) exp(2iπθn)), where Λ denotes the von Mangoldt function (and μ the Möbius function). The goal of this work is to introduce a new approach to study these sums involving simultaneously two different bases combining Fourier analysis, Diophantine approximation and combinatorial arguments. We deduce from these estimates a Prime Number Theorem (and Möbius orthogonality) for sequences of integers with digit properties in two coprime bases.

We study fully nonlinear geometric flows that deform strictly $k$-convex hypersurfaces in Euclidean space with pointwise normal speed given by a concave function of the principal curvatures. Specifically, the speeds we consider are obtained by performing a nonlinear interpolation between the mean and the $k$-harmonic mean of the principal curvatures. Our main result is a convexity estimate showing that, on compact solutions, regions of high curvature are approximately convex. In contrast to the mean curvature flow, the fully nonlinear flows considered here preserve $k$-convexity in a Riemannian background, and we show that the convexity estimate carries over to this setting as long as the ambient curvature satisfies a natural pinching condition.

We construct a stratified homeomorphism between the space of $ntimes n$ real matrices with real eigenvalues and the space of $ntimes n$ symmetric matrices with real eigenvalues, which restricts to a real analytic isomorphism between individual $GL_n(mathbb R)$-adjoint orbits and $O_n(mathbb C)$-adjoint orbits. We also establish similar results in more general settings of Lie algebras of classical types and quiver varieties. To this end, we prove a general result about involutions on hyper-Kahler quotients of linear spaces. We discuss applications to the (generalized) Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence, singularities of real and symmetric adjoint orbit closures, and Springer theory for real groups and symmetric spaces.

We prove a new integrability principle for gradient variational problems in $mathbb{R}^2$, showing that solutions are explicitly parameterized by $kappa$-harmonic functions, that is, functions which are harmonic for the laplacian with varying conductivity $kappa$, where $kappa$ is the square root of the Hessian determinant of the surface tension.

On a negatively curved surface, we show that the Poincare series counting geodesic arcs orthogonal to some pair of closed geodesic curves has a meromorphic continuation to the whole complex plane. When both curves are homologically trivial, we prove that the Poincare series has an explicit rational value at 0 interpreting it in terms of linking number of Legendrian knots. In particular, for any pair of points on the surface, the lengths of all geodesic arcs connecting the two points determine its genus, and, for any pair of homologically trivial closed geodesics, the lengths of all geodesic arcs orthogonal to both geodesics determine the linking number of the two geodesics.

We improve the upper bound for diagonal Ramsey numbers to [R(k+1,k+1)leexp(-c(log k)^2)binom{2k}{k}] for $kge 3$. To do so, we build on a quasirandomness and induction framework for Ramsey numbers introduced by Thomason and extended by Conlon, demonstrating optimal "effective quasirandomness" results about convergence of graphs. This optimality represents a natural barrier to improvement.
