We prove that for any two lattices of the same volume there exists a measurable, bounded, common fundamental domain of them. In other words, there exists a bounded measurable set such that E tiles when translated by L or by M. A consequence of this is that the indicator function of E forms a Weyl–Heisenberg (Gabor) orthogonal basis of when translated by L and modulated by , the dual lattice of M.

Cyclic coverings produce many examples of topologically contractible smooth affine complex varieties. In this paper, we study the motivic cohomology groups of cyclic coverings over algebraically closed fields of characteristic 0.

We introduce the algebra of formal multiple Eisenstein series and study its derivations. This algebra is motivated by the classical multiple Eisenstein series, introduced by Gangl–Kaneko–Zagier as a hybrid of classical Eisenstein series and multiple zeta values. In depth one, we obtain formal versions of the Eisenstein series satisfying the same algebraic relations as the classical Eisenstein series. In particular, they generate an algebra whose elements we call formal quasimodular forms. We show that the algebra of formal multiple Eisenstein series is an -algebra by formalizing the usual derivations for quasimodular forms and extending them naturally to the whole algebra. Additionally, we introduce some families of derivations for general quasi-shuffle algebras, providing a broader context for these derivations. Further, we prove that a quotient of this algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of formal multiple zeta values. This gives a novel and purely formal approach to classical (quasi)modular forms and builds a new link between (formal) multiple zeta values and modular forms.

We show that the nuclear dimension of a (twisted) group C*-algebra of a virtually polycyclic group is finite. This prompts us to make a conjecture relating finite nuclear dimension of group C*-algebras and finite Hirsch length, which we then verify for a class of elementary amenable groups beyond the virtually polycyclic case. In particular, we give the first examples of finitely generated, non-residually finite groups with finite nuclear dimension. A parallel conjecture on finite decomposition rank is also formulated and an analogous result is obtained. Our method relies heavily on recent work of Hirshberg and the second named author on actions of virtually nilpotent groups on -algebras.

We introduce a Hölder regularity condition for harmonic functions on metric measure spaces and prove that, under a slow volume regular condition and an upper heat kernel estimate, the Hölder regularity condition, the weak Bakry-Émery non-negative curvature condition, Hölder continuity of the heat kernel (with or without exponential terms), and the near-diagonal lower bound for the heat kernel are equivalent. As applications, first, we establish the validity of the so-called generalized reverse Hölder inequality on the Sierpiński carpet cable system, resolving an open problem left by Devyver et al. (2023) [26]. Second, we prove that two-sided heat kernel estimates alone imply gradient estimates for the heat kernel on strongly recurrent fractal-like cable systems, improving the main results of the aforementioned paper. Third, we obtain Hölder (Lipschitz) estimates for the heat kernel on strongly recurrent metric measure spaces, extending the classical Li-Yau gradient estimate for the heat kernel on Riemannian manifolds.

We begin with Brownian motion and various forms of the Schramm-Loewner evolution for , showing that a.s. neither is a quasisymmetric to a straight line. We also study the conformal loop ensemble for , and show that the collection of all points outside the loops is a.s. homeomorphic to the standard Sierpiński carpet, but not quasisymmetrically equivalent to a round carpet.

Cheng, Yang, and Zhang have studied two invariant surface area functionals in 3-dimensional CR manifolds. They deduced the Euler–Lagrange equations of the associated energy functionals when the 3-dimensional CR manifold has constant Webster curvature and vanishing torsion. In this paper, we deduce the Euler–Lagrange equations of the energy functionals in a more general 3-dimensional CR manifold. Moreover, we study the invariant area functionals on the disk bundle, on the Rossi sphere, and on 3-dimensional tori. In particular, we show that the Clifford torus is a minimizer for on the Rossi sphere when . Also, by computing the second variation formula, we show that the Clifford torus is not a minimizer for on the Rossi sphere when .

The Kuramoto model is fundamental to the study of synchronization. It consists of a collection of oscillators with interactions given by a network, which we identify respectively with vertices and edges of a graph. In this paper, we show that a graph with sufficient expansion must be globally synchronizing, meaning that a homogeneous Kuramoto model of identical oscillators on such a graph will converge to the fully synchronized state with all the oscillators having the same phase, for every initial state up to a set of measure zero. In particular, we show that for any and , the homogeneous Kuramoto model on the Erdős–Rényi random graph is globally synchronizing with probability tending to one as n goes to infinity. This improves on a previous result of Kassabov, Strogatz, and Townsend and solves a conjecture of Ling, Xu, and Bandeira. We also show that the Kuramoto model is globally synchronizing on any d-regular Ramanujan graph, and on typical d-regular graphs, for .

We prove the existence and uniqueness of a weighted analogue of the Fefferman-Graham ambient metric for manifolds with density. We then show that this ambient metric forms the natural geometric framework for the Ricci flow by constructing infinite families of fully non-linear analogues of Perelman's and functionals. We extend Perelman's monotonicity result to these two families of functionals under several conditions, including for shrinking solitons and Einstein manifolds. We do so by constructing a “Ricci flow vector field” in the ambient space, which may be of independent research interest. We also prove that the weighted GJMS operators associated with the weighted ambient metric are formally self-adjoint, and that the associated weighted renormalized volume coefficients are variational.

We establish a correspondence between one-parameter deformations of an affine Gorenstein toric pair , defined by a polytope P, and mutations of a Laurent polynomial f with Newton polytope . For a Laurent polynomial f in two variables, we construct a formal deformation of the three-dimensional Gorenstein toric pair over , where is the set of deformation parameters arising from mutations. The general fibre of this deformation is smooth if and only if f is 0-mutable. The Kodaira–Spencer map of the constructed deformation is injective, and if f is maximally mutable, then the deformation cannot be nontrivially extended to a larger smooth base space.
