I'll report on recent applications of the LLL to two problems in the dynamics of general countable groups. The first concerns the existence of free symbolic minimal actions; the second asks about realizations of URS's (uniformly recurrent subgroups) as stability systems.
I'll then concentrate on a solution of Gabor Elek to the second problem in the case of finitely generated groups.

This talk will discuss some recent developments in the study of the spectral
properties of parabolic flows and maps. More specifically, it will focus on
the techniques used to determine the spectrum of the time-changes of the
horocycle flow and and the effort to generalize these methods to create conditions
under which a general parabolic flow/map would be expected to have absolutely continuous
spectrum.
We consider self-similar Iterated Function System (IFS) on the
line constructed with overlapping cylinders. Recently there have been a
number of outstanding results which have suggested that the overlap has
dramatic change in the most important properties of the IFS only if there is
an exact overlap between some of the cylinders.
In this talk, we point out that this is not always the case, at least as far
as the absolute continuity of self-similar measures is concerned.
Namely, we present some one-parameter families of homogeneous self-

Consider the Gaussian Entire Function (GEF) whose Taylor coefficients are independent complex-valued Gaussian variables, and the variance of the k-th coefficient is 1/k!. This random Taylor series is distinguished by the invariance of its zero set with respect to the isometries of the complex plane.
Consider a real Gaussian stationary process, either on Z or on R. That is,
a stochastic process, invariant under translations, whose finite marginals
are centered multi-variate Gaussians. The persistence of such a process on
[0,N] is the probability that it remains positive throughout this interval.
The relation between the decay of the persistence as N tends to infinity
and the covariance function of the process has been investigated since the
1950s with motivations stemming from probability, engineering and
