Abstract

A theorem of Furstenberg from 1967 states that if Gamma is a lattice in a semisimple Lie group G, then there exists a measure on Gamma with finite first moment such that the corresponding harmonic measure on the Furstenberg boundary is absolutely continuous. We will discuss generalizations of this theorem in the setting of the Mapping class group and Gromov hyperbolic groups.

Simonovits's theorem in random graphs
AbstractLet $H$ be a graph with $\chi(H) = r+1$. Simonovits's theorem states that, for every edge-critical graph $H$, the unique largest $H$-free subgraph of $K_n$ is its largest $r$-partite subgraph, provided that $n$ is sufficiently large. We show that the same holds with $K_n$ replaced by $G_{n,p}$ whenever $H$ is also strictly 2-balanced and $p \ge C_H n^{-1/m_2(H)} \log(n)^{1/(e(H)-1)}$ fo...
