Relatively recently, two new classes of (discrete, countable) groups have been isolated: hyperlinear groups and sofic groups. They come from different corners of mathematics (operator algebras and symbolic dynamics, respectively), and were…

We prove absolute continuity of "high entropy" hyperbolic invariant measures for smooth actions of higher rank abelian groups assuming that there are no proportional Lyapunov exponents. For actions on tori and infranilmanifolds existence of…

Let $ G $ be a countable discrete group and consider a nonsingular Bernoulli shift action $ G \curvearrowright \prod_{g\in G }(\{0,1\},\mu_g)$ with two base points. When $ G $ is exact, under a certain finiteness assumption on the measures…

The title refers to the area of research which studies infinite groups using measure-theoretic tools, and studies the restrictions that group structure imposes on ergodic theory of their actions. The paper is a survey of recent developments…

We prove W$^*$-superrigidity for a large class of coinduced actions. We prove that if $\Sigma$ is an amenable almost-malnormal subgroup of an infinite conjugagy class (icc) property (T) countable group $\Gamma$, the coinduced action…

We show that for every countable group, any sequence of approximate homomorphisms with values in permutations can be realized as the restriction of a sofic approximation of an orbit equivalence relation. Moreover, this orbit equivalence…

In this paper the metric on the set of mixing actions of a countable infinite group is introduced so that the corresponding space is complete and separable. Keywords and phrases. Monotilable group, measure preserving transformations, mixing…

The main aim of the paper is to introduce a new class of (semigroup-valued) measures that are ultrahomogeneous on the Boolean algebra of all clopen subsets of the Cantor space and to study their automorphism groups. A characterisation, in…

We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…

We initiate a systematic investigation of group actions on compact medain algebras via the corresponding dynamics on their spaces of measures. We show that a probability measure which is invariant under a natural push forward operation must…

We give new examples and describe the complete lists of all measures on the set of countable homogeneous universal graphs and $K_s$-free homogeneous universal graphs (for $s\geq 3$) that are invariant with respect to the group of all…

We introduce the Solecki submeasure $\sigma(A)=\inf_F\sup_{x,y\in G}|F\cap xAy|/|F|$ and its left and right modifications on a group $G$, and study the interplay between the Solecki submeasure and the Haar measure on compact topological…

For a measurable map $T$ and a sequence of $T$-invariant probability measures $\mu_n$ that converges in some sense to a $T$-invariant probability measure $\mu$, an estimate from below for the Kolmogorov--Sinai entropy of $T$ with respect to…

This article is concerned with measure equivalence and uniform measure equivalence of locally compact, second countable groups. We show that two unimodular, locally compact, second countable groups are measure equivalent if and only if they…

Let S be a nonexceptional oriented surface of finite type. We construct an uncountable family of probability measures on the space of area on holomorphic quadratic differentials over the moduli space for S containing the usual Lebesgue…

The Bernoulli convolution associated to the real $\beta>1$ and the probability vector $(p_0,..,p_{d-1})$ is a probability measure $\eta_{\beta,p}$ on $\mathbb R$, solution of the self-similarity relation…

A sofic approximation to a countable group is a sequence of partial actions on finite sets that asymptotically approximates the action of the group on itself by left-translations. A group is sofic if it admits a sofic approximation. Sofic…

We study graph products of groups from the viewpoint of measured group theory. We first establish a full measure equivalence classification of graph products of countably infinite groups over finite simple graphs with no transvection and no…

We discuss measures, invariant measures on definable groups, and genericity, often in an NIP (failure of the independence property) environment. We complete the proof of the third author's conjectures relating definably compact groups $G$…

We introduce a natural equivalence relation on the space $\sH_0$ of horofunctions of a word hyperbolic group that take the value 0 at the identity. We show that there are only finitely many ergodic measures that are invariant under this…
