TLDR
In this paper, the authors constructed new uniform pointwise bounds for the matrix coefficients of all infinite-dimensional irreducible unitary representations of a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over a local field of characteristic not $2.
Abstract
Let $k$ be a local field of characteristic not $2$, and let $G$ be the group of $k$-rational points of a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over $k$ with a simple derived group of $k$-rank at least $2$. We construct new uniform pointwise bounds for the matrix coefficients of all infinite-dimensional irreducible unitary representations of $G$. These bounds turn out to be optimal for ${\rm SL}\sb n(k), n\geq 3$, and ${\rm Sp}\sb {2n}(k),n\geq 2$. As an application, we discuss a simple method of calculating Kazhdan constants for various compact subsets of semisimple $G$.

Sparse equidistribution problems, period bounds and subconvexity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce a geometric method to bound periods of automorphic forms using equidistribution results in place of mean value theorems, and the systematic use of mixing and the spectral gap.

On the growth of $L^2$-invariants for sequences of lattices in Lie groups

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the asymptotic behavior of Betti numbers, twisted torsion and other spectral invariants of sequences of locally symmetric spaces and show that BS-convergence implies convergence, in an appropriate sense, of the associated normalized relative Plancherel measures.

The Ergodic Theory of Lattice Subgroups

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors prove mean and pointwise ergodic theorems for general families of averages on a semisimple algebraic group G, together with an explicit rate of convergence when the action has a spectral gap.

Representation of Lie groups and special functions

TL;DR: The theory of elliptic integrals was introduced by Abel as discussed by the authors, who proposed a special function to evaluate integrals, which is called integral sine, logarithm, exponential function, probability integral and so on.
