Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…

We consider a new orbit equivalence invariant for measure-preserving actions of groups on the probability space, $\sigma:G\to$ Aut$(X,\mu)$, denoted $\chi_0(\sigma;G)$ and defined as the "intersection" of the 1-cohomology group,…

In 1968, Israel Gohberg and Naum Krupnik discovered that local spectra of singular integral operators with piecewise continuous coefficients on Lebesgue spaces $L^p(\Gamma)$ over Lyapunov curves have the shape of circular arcs. About 25…

The theorems of M. Ratner, describing the finite ergodic invariant measures and the orbit closures for unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups, are extended for actions of subgroups generated by unipotent elements. More…

The Egoroff theorem for measurable $\bold X$-valued functions and operator-valued measures $\bold m: \Sigma \to L(\bold X, \bold Y)$, where $\Sigma$ is a $\sigma$-algebra of subsets of $T \neq \emptyset$ and $\bold X$, $\bold Y$ are both…

We extend the symbol calculus and study the limit operator theory for $\sigma$-compact, \'{e}tale and amenable groupoids, in the Hilbert space case. This approach not only unifies various existing results which include the cases of exact…

The present work develops a framework to derive piecewise polynomial measures arising from invariant measures on adjoint orbits in the context of compact and semisimple Lie groups. These measures are computed from orbital integrals via…

Motivated by various results on homogeneous geodesics of Riemannian spaces, we study homogeneous trajectories, i.e. trajectories which are orbits of a one-parameter symmetry group, of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems. We present criteria…

We prove universal lower bounds for discrepancies (i.e. sizes of spectral gaps of averaging operators) of measure-preserving actions of a locally compact group on probability spaces. For example, a locally compact Hausdorff unimodular group…

Since the work of Ornstein and Weiss in 1987 (J. Analyse Math. 48 (1987)) it has been understood that the natural category for classical ergodic theory would be probability measure preserving actions of discrete amenable groups. A…

Answering a question by Chatterji--Dru\c{t}u--Haglund, we prove that, for every locally compact group $G$, there exists a critical constant $p_G \in [0,\infty]$ such that $G$ admits a continuous affine isometric action on an $L_p$ space…

The unitary group U(N) acts by conjugations on the space H(N) of NxN Hermitian matrices, and every orbit of this action carries a unique invariant probability measure called an orbital measure. Consider the projection of the space H(N) onto…

In 1968, Gohberg and Krupnik found a Fredholm criterion for singular integral operators of the form $aP+bQ$, where $a,b$ are piecewise continuous functions and $P,Q$ are complementary projections associated to the Cauchy singular integral…

We introduce a novel notion of {\it local spectral gap} for general, possibly infinite, measure preserving actions. We establish local spectral gap for the left translation action $\Gamma\curvearrowright G$, whenever $\Gamma$ is a dense…

It is well known that if $G/K$ is any irreducible symmetric space and $\mu _{a}$ is a continuous orbital measure supported on the double coset $KaK,$ then the convolution product, $\mu _{a}^{k},$ is absolutely continuous for some suitably…

These are the notes for a series of lectures at the Institute of Geometry and Topology of the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in July 13-15, 2022. We assume basic knowledge of isometric actions on Riemannian manifolds, including the…

In the first half of this text we explore the interrelationships between the abstract theory of limit operators (see e.g. the recent monographs of Rabinovich, Roch & Silbermann and Lindner) and the concepts and results of the generalised…

Arzel\`a's bounded convergence theorem (1885) states that if a sequence of Riemann integrable functions on a closed interval is uniformly bounded and has an integrable pointwise limit, then the sequence of their integrals tends to the…

Let K be a number field, let f: P_1 --> P_1 be a nonconstant rational map of degree greater than 1, let S be a finite set of places of K, and suppose that u, w in P_1(K) are not preperiodic under f. We prove that the set of (m,n) in N^2…

Let $G$ and $H$ be infinite finitely generated amenable groups. This paper studies two notions of equivalence between actions of such groups on standard Borel probability spaces. They are defined as stable orbit equivalences in which the…
