Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete amenable group, and let $A=l^\infty(\Gamma) \rtimes \Gamma$ or $A = \mathrm{C}(M) \rtimes \Gamma$, where $(M, \Gamma)$ is the universal minimal set of $\Gamma$. It is shown that if $a, b \in A \otimes…

The equivariant bootstrap class in the Kasparov category of actions of a finite group G consists of those actions that are equivalent to one on a Type I C*-algebra. Using a result by Arano and Kubota, we show that this bootstrap class is…

This paper gives an algebraic characterization of expansive actions of countable abelian groups on compact abelian groups. This naturally extends the classification of expansive algebraic $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions given by Schmidt using…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group equipped with a symmetric and nondegenerate probability measure $\mu$ with finite second moment, and $Y$ a CAT(0) space which is either proper or of finite telescopic dimension. We show that if an…

A measure preserving action of a countably infinite group \Gamma is called totally ergodic if every infinite subgroup of \Gamma acts ergodically. For example, all mixing and mildly mixing actions are totally ergodic. This note shows that if…

Recently C. Houdayer and Y. Isono have proved among other things that every biexact group $\Gamma$ has the property that for any non-singular strongly ergodic action $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X,\mu)$ on a standard measure space the group…

Various theorems on convergence of general space homeomorphisms are proved and, on this basis, theorems on convergence and compactness for classes of the so-called ring $Q$--homeomorphisms are obtained. In particular, it was established by…

We show that a free action $G \curvearrowright X$ is almost finite if its restriction to some infinite normal subgroup of $G$ is almost finite. Consider the class of groups which contains all infinite groups of locally subexponential growth…

A monoid $M$ is said to be surjunctive if every injective cellular automaton with finite alphabet over $M$ is surjective. We show that monoid algebras of surjunctive monoids are stably finite. In other words, given any field $K$ and any…

Suppose that $X=G/K$ is the quotient of a locally compact group by a closed subgroup. If $X$ is locally contractible and connected, we prove that $X$ is a manifold. If the $G$-action is faithful, then $G$ is a Lie group.

We analyze definably compact groups in o-minimal expansions of ordered groups as a combination of semi-linear groups and groups definable in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields. The analysis involves structure theorems about their…

Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…

We prove that the unitary equivalence classes of extensions of C*_r(G) by any sigma-unital stable C"-algebra, taken modulo extensions which split via an asymptotic homomorphism, form a group which can be calculated from the universal…

Let $A$ be a separable (not necessarily unital) simple $C^*$-algebra with strict comparison. We show that if $A$ has tracial approximate oscillation zero then $A$ has stable rank one and the canonical map $\Gamma$ from the Cuntz semigroup…
