We prove that the category of continuous lattices and meet- and directed join-preserving maps is dually equivalent, via the hom functor to $[0,1]$, to the category of complete Archimedean meet-semilattices equipped with a finite…
We prove that uniform second order growth, tilt stability, and strong metric regularity of the limiting subdifferential --- three notions that have appeared in entirely different settings --- are all essentially equivalent for any…
We study Measurable Imbeddability between groups, which is an order-like generalization of Measure Equivalence that allows the imbedded group to have an infinite measure fundamental domain. We prove if $\Lambda_1$ measurably imbeds into…
The purpose of this note is to present two elementary, but useful, facts concerning actions on uniformly convex spaces. We demonstrate how each of them can be used in an alternative proof of the triviality of the first $L_p$-cohomology of…
Subgradient and Newton algorithms for nonsmooth optimization require generalized derivatives to satisfy subtle approximation properties: conservativity for the former and semismoothness for the latter. Though these two properties originate…
In this paper we study Zimmer's conjecture for $C^1$ actions of lattice subgroup of a higher-rank simple Lie group with finite center on compact manifolds. We show that when the rank of an uniform lattice is larger than the dimension of the…
Let $G$ be a group acting properly by isometries and with a strongly contracting element on a geodesic metric space. Let $N$ be an infinite normal subgroup of $G$, and let $\delta_N$ and $\delta_G$ be the growth rates of $N$ and $G$ with…
Let X be a polyhedral complex with finitely many isometry classes of links. We establish a restriction on the covolumes of uniform lattices acting on X. When X is two-dimensional and has all links isometric to either a complete bipartite…
Suppose given a linearized action on a polarized complex projective manifold (M,L), and assume that the stable locus is non-empty. We study the leading asymptotics of the dimension of the equivariant summands appearing in the space of…
Closure space has proven to be a useful tool to restructure lattices and various order structures.This paper aims to provide a novel approach to characterizing some important kinds of continuous domains by means of closure spaces. By…
Group actions on a Smale space and the actions induced on the C*-algebras associated to such a dynamical system are studied. We show that an effective action of a discrete group on a mixing Smale space produces a strongly outer action on…
For $\Cc$ a $G$-category, we give a condition on a diagram of simplicial sets indexed on $\Cc$ that allows us to define a natural $G$-action on its homotopy colimit, and in some other simplicial sets and categories defined in terms of the…
We generalize Exel's notion of partial group action to monoids. For partial monoid actions that can be defined by means of suitably well-behaved systems of generators and relations, we employ classical rewriting theory in order to describe…
We consider discrete subgroups Gamma of the simply connected Lie group SU~(1,1), the universal cover of SU(1,1), of finite level, i.e. the subgroup intersects the centre of SU~(1,1) in a subgroup of finite index, this index is called the…
Let $J$ be a semisimple Lie group with all simple factors of real rank at least two. Let $\Gamma<J$ be a lattice. We prove a very general local rigidity result about actions of $J$ or $\Gamma$. This shows that almost all so-called "standard…
The main results of the paper are: \begin{Prop}\label{GenSvarc-Milnor} A group $G$ acting coarsely on a coarse space $(X,\CC)$ induces a coarse equivalence $g\to g\cdot x_0$ from $G$ to $X$ for any $x_0\in X$. \end{Prop} Theorem:…
We investigate strictly developable simple complexes of groups with arbitrary local groups, or equivalently, group actions admitting a strict fundamental domain. We introduce a new method for computing the cohomology of such groups. We also…
This paper investigates positive harmonic functions on a domain which contains an infinite cylinder, and whose boundary is contained in the union of parallel hyperplanes. (In the plane its boundary consists of two sets of vertical…
The question of which functions acting entrywise preserve positive semidefiniteness has a long history, beginning with the Schur product theorem [Crelle 1911], which implies that absolutely monotonic functions (i.e., power series with…
We establish finiteness of low-dimensional actions of lattices in higher-rank semisimple Lie groups and establish Zimmer's conjecture for many such groups. This builds on previous work of the authors handling the case of actions by…
