We define a "tracial" analog of the Rokhlin property for actions of second countable compact groups on infinite dimensional simple separable unital C*-algebras. We prove that fixed point algebras under such actions (and, in the appropriate…

We develop the twisting construction for locally compact quantum groups. A new feature, in contrast to the previous work of M. Enock and the second author, is a non-trivial deformation of the Haar measure. Then we construct Rieffel's…

Let $X$ be a compact metrizable space equipped with a continuous action of a countable amenable group $G$. Suppose that the dynamical system $(X,G)$ is expansive and is the quotient by a uniformly bounded-to-one factor map of a strongly…

We extend a theorem of Haagerup and Kraus in the C*-algebra context: for a locally compact group with the approximation property (AP), the reduced C*-crossed product construction preserves the strong operator approximation property (SOAP).…

We discuss the isomorphism problem for ergodic actions of locally compact groups. In particular we show that the conjugacy relation is not Borel for ergodic measure preserving actions of indicable groups.

Given a homeomorphism $T \colon X \to X$ of a compact metric space $X$, the stabilized automorphism group $\textrm{Aut}^{\infty}(T)$ of the system $(X,T)$ is the group of self-homeomorphisms of $X$ which commute with some power of $T$. We…

We construct a one parameter deformation of the group of $2\times 2$ upper triangular matrices with determinant 1 using the twisting construction. An interesting feature of this new example of a locally compact quantum group is that the…

We say that two free probability-measure-preserving actions of countable groups are Shannon orbit equivalent if there is an orbit equivalence between them whose associated cocycle partitions have finite Shannon entropy. We show that if the…

The assignment of local observables in the vacuum sector, fulfilling the standard axioms of local quantum theory, is known to determine uniquely a compact group G of gauge transformations of the first kind together with a central involutive…

A countable group $G$ has the strong topological Rokhlin property (STRP) if it admits a continuous action on the Cantor space with a comeager conjugacy class. We show that having the STRP is a symbolic dynamical property. We prove that a…

A probability-measure-preserving action of a countable group is called stable if its transformation-groupoid absorbs the ergodic hyperfinite equivalence relation of type II_1 under direct product. We show that for a countable group G and…

We study algebraic properties on a group G such that if the discrete group G has these properties then every locally compact shift continuous topology on G with adjoined zero is either compact, or discrete. We introduce electorally flexible…

We study the behaviour of infinitesimal deformation functors of local group actions with regard to passing to subgroups and quotient groups. Inspired by the cohomological information, we conjecture the existence of a decomposition of a…

In his seminal work \cite{pal:61}, R. Palais extended a substantial part of the theory of compact transformation groups to the case of proper actions of locally compact groups. Here we extend to proper actions some other important results…

In this paper, the categorial property of compactness of an object, i. e. commuting of the corresponding $\Hom$ functor with coproducts, is studied in categories of $S$-acts and the corresponding structural properties of compact $S$-acts…

An action of a compact Lie group is called equivariantly formal, if the Leray--Serre spectral sequence of its Borel fibration degenerates at the E_2-term. This term is as prominent as it is restrictive. In this article, also motivated by…

Let us say that a discrete countable group is stable if it has an ergodic, free, probability-measure-preserving and stable action. Let G be a discrete countable group with a central subgroup C. We present a sufficient condition and a…

We show that, given a continuous action $\alpha$ of a locally compact group $G$ on a factor $M$, the relative commutant $M'\cap(M\rtimes_{\alpha} G)$ is contained in $M\rtimes_{\alpha} H$ where $H$ is the subgroup of elements acting without…

We are going to study the dynamical properties of the rational semigroup $Q_{t}(\mu)$ where $Q_{t}(\mu)= (1-t) \mu * (1- t \mu)^{-1},$ for $t \in [0,1)$, that is defined for $\mu \in \mathcal{P}(G)$, the set of Borel probabilities over $(G,…

For a proper, cocompact action by a locally compact group of the form $H \times G$, with $H$ compact, we define an $H \times G$-equivariant index of $H$-transversally elliptic operators, which takes values in $KK_*(C^*H, C^*G)$. This…
