Cohomology of subgroups of SL2
Abstract
Given an FP-infinity subgroup G of SL(2,C), we are interested in the asymptotic behavior of the cohomology of G with coefficients in an irreducible complex representation V of SL(2,C). We prove that, as the dimension of V grows, the dimensions of these cohomology groups approximate the L2-Betti numbers of G. We make no further assumptions on G, extending a previous result of W. Fu. This yields a new method to compute those Betti numbers for finitely generated hyperbolic 3-manifold groups. We will give a brief idea of the proof, whose main tool is a completion of the universal enveloping algebra of the p-adic Lie algebra sl(2, Zp).

Uniqueness of Dirichlet operators related to stochastic quantisation for the exp(φ)_{2}-model
Abstract
In this talk, we consider Dirichlet forms related to stochastic quantisation for the exp(φ)_{2}-model on the torus. We show strong uniqueness of the corresponding Dirichlet operators by applying an idea of (singular) SPDEs. This talk is based on ongoing joint work with Hirotatsu Nagoji (Kyoto University).
