Let X be a locally compact Polish space and G a non-discrete Polish ANR group. By C(X,G), we denote the topological group of all continuous maps f:X \to G endowed with the Whitney (graph) topology and by C_c(X,G) the subgroup consisting of…
Let $ G $ be a real simple linear connected Lie group of real rank one. Then, $ X := G/K $ is a Riemannian symmetric space with strictly negative sectional curvature. By the classification of these spaces, $X$ is a real/complex/quaternionic…
We show that every non-Archimedean Polish group $P$ is the outer automorphism group of a countable discrete group $G_P$. Moreover, our construction provides a Borel map $f$ from the Effros space of closed subgroups of the permutation group…
We show that the commutator subgroup of the group of unitaries connected to the identity in a simple unital C*-algebra is simple modulo its center. We then go on to investigate the role of regularity properties in the structure of the…
A subset $X$ of a Polish group $G$ is called \emph{Haar null} if there exists a Borel set $B \supset X$ and Borel probability measure $\mu$ on $G$ such that $\mu(gBh)=0$ for every $g,h \in G$. We prove that there exists a set $X \subset…
Let $X$ be a compact metrizable abelian group and $\mathbf{u}=\{u_n\}$ be a sequence in its dual $X^{\wedge}$. Set $s_{\mathbf{u}} (X)= \{x: (u_n,x)\to 1\}$ and $\mathbb{T}_0^H = \{(z_n)\in \mathbb{T}^{\infty} : z_n\to 1 \}$. Let $G$ be a…
It is shown that if $G$ is an uncountable Polish group and $A\subseteq G$ is a universally measurable set such that $A^{-1}A$ is meager, then the set $T_l(A)=\{\mu\in P(G): \mu(gA)=0 \text{for all} g\in G\}$ is co-meager. In particular, if…
This thesis is concerned with the mixed Tate property of reductive algebraic groups $G$, which in particular guarantees a Chow Kunneth property for the classifying space $BG$. Toward this goal, we first refine the construction of the…
We consider the groups G which arise from real semisimple Jordan algebras via the Tits-Koecher-Kantor construction. Such a G is characterized by the fact that it admits a parabolic subgroup P=LN which is conjugate to its opposite, and for…
Let $G$ be a compact $p$-adic analytic group with no element of order $p$ and $H$ be its maximal uniform normal subgroup. Let $K$ be a finite extention of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We show that the Grothendieck group of the completion of the algebra…
Originally motivated by connections to integrable systems, two natural subalgebras of the rational Cherednik algebra have been considered in the literature. The first is the subalgebra of all degree zero elements and the second is the Dunkl…
We consider the pseudo-Riemannian Lichnerowicz conjecture in the homogeneous setting. In particular, we show that any compact connected pseudo-Riemannian manifold $M$ on which a semisimple group $G$ acts conformally, essentially and…
Given a locally compact group $G$ and a unitary representation $\rho:G\to U({\mathcal H})$ on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$, we construct a $C^*$-correspondence ${\mathcal E}(\rho)={\mathcal H}\otimes_{\mathbb C} C^*(G)$ over $C^*(G)$ and…
We study topological properties of conjugacy classes in Polish groups, with emphasis on automorphism groups of homogeneous countable structures. We first consider the existence of dense conjugacy classes (the topological Rokhlin property).…
We analzye Rieffel's construction of generalized fixed point algebras in the setting of group actions on Hilbert modules. Let G be a locally compact group acting on a C*-algebra B. We construct a Hilbert module F over the reduced crossed…
For any simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and an element $\mu\in\mathfrak{g}^*$, the corresponding commutative subalgebra $\mathcal{A}_{\mu}$ of $\mathcal{U}(\mathfrak{g})$ is defined as a homomorphic image of the Feigin-Frenkel centre…
Let $G$ be a finitely generated group, $\mathrm{Sub}(G)$ the (compact, metric) space of all subgroups of $G$ with the Chaubuty topology and $X!$ the (Polish) group of all permutations of a countable set $X$. We show that the following…
We introduce the median uniformity $\mathcal U_{\mathrm m}$, an intrinsic precompact convex uniform structure on a median algebra. It is Hausdorff under natural assumptions, for instance for finite-rank median algebras. In the Hausdorff…
