Polynomial dynamic and lattice orbits in S-arithmetic homogeneous spaces
Consider an homogeneous space under a locally compact group G and a lattice
in G. Then the lattice naturally acts on the homogeneous space. Looking at a
dense orbit, one may wonder how to describe its repartition. One then adopt a
dynamical point of view and compare the asymptotic distribution of points in
the orbits with the natural measure on the space. In the setting of Lie groups
and their homogeneous spaces, several results showed an equidistribution of
points in the orbits using Ratner's rigidity of polynomial dynamics in
homogeneous spaces.
We address here this problem in the setting of p-adic and S-arithmetic
groups
On SL(3,)-representations of the Whitehead link group
We describe a family of representations in SL(3,) of the
fundamental group of the Whitehead link complement. These representations
are obtained by considering pairs of regular order three elements in
SL(3,) and can be seen as factorising through a quotient of
defined by a certain exceptional Dehn surgery on the Whitehead link. Our main
result is that these representations form an algebraic component of the
SL(3,)-character variety of .Comment: 20 pages, 3 figures, 4 tables, and a companion Sage notebook (see the

Dimension of character varieties for -manifolds
Let be a -manifold, compact with boundary and its fundamental
group. Consider a complex reductive algebraic group G. The character variety
is the GIT quotient of the space of
morphisms by the natural action by conjugation of . In the
case this space has been thoroughly studied.
Following work of Thurston, as presented by Culler-Shalen, we give a lower
bound for the dimension of irreducible components of in terms of
the Euler characteristic of , the number of torus boundary
components of , the dimension and the rank of . Indeed, under
mild assumptions on an irreducible component of , we prove

Some Preliminary Evidence on the Globalization-Inflation Nexus.
This paper aims at evaluating the impact of globalization, if any, on inflation and the inflation process. We estimate standard Phillips curve equations on a panel of OECD countries over the last 25 years. We first show that the impact of commodity import price inflation on CPI inflation depends on the volume of commodity imports while the impact of non-commodity import price inflation is independent of the volume of non-commodity imports. Second, focusing on the role of intra-industry trade, we provide preliminary evidence that this variable can account (i) for the low pass-through of import price to consumer price and (ii) for the flattening of the Phillips curve, i.e. the lower sensitivity of inflation to the output gap.Inflation ; Globalization ; Phillips curve ; Intra-industry trade ; Contestability ; Import prices.
Some preliminary evidence on the globalization-inflation nexus
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of globalization, if any, on inflation and the inflation process. We estimate standard Phillips curve equations on a panel of OECD countries over the last 25 years. While recent papers have concluded that globalization has had no significant impact, this paper highlights that trying to capture globalization effects through simple measures of import prices and/or imports to GDP ratios can be misleading. To do so, we try to extend the analysis following two different avenues. We first separate between commodity and non-commodity imports and show that the impact on inflation of commodity import price inflation is qualitatively different from the impact of noncommodity import price inflation, the former depending on the volume of commodity imports while the latter being independent of the volume of non-commodity imports.> ; This first piece of evidence highlights the role of contestability and the insufficiency of trade volume statistics to properly describe the impact of globalization. This leads us to adopt a more systematic approach to capture the contents and not only the volume of trade. Focusing on the role of intra-industry trade, we provide preliminary evidence that this variable can account (i) for the low pass-through of import price to consumer price and (ii) for the flattening of the Phillips curve, i.e. the lower sensitivity of inflation to changes in output gap. We hence conclude that different facets of globalization, especially changes in the nature of goods traded, can be an important channel through which globalization affects the inflation process.Globalization ; Inflation (Finance) ; Time-series analysis ; International trade
