We study two properties of nonsingular and infinite measure-preserving ergodic systems: weak double ergodicity, and ergodicity with isometric coefficients. We show that there exist infinite measure-preserving transformations that are…

We study equivalence relations that arise from translation actions $\Gamma\curvearrowright G$ which are associated to dense embeddings $\Gamma<G$ of countable groups into second countable locally compact groups. Assuming that $G$ is simply…

We show that for any countable group, any free probability measure preserving action of the group weakly contains all Bernoulli actions of the group. It follows that for a finitely generated groups, the cost is maximal on Bernoulli actions…

Let $(X,\mathcal{A}, \mu)$ be a probability measure space and let $T_i,$ $1\leq i\leq H,$ be invertible bi measurable measure preserving transformations on this measure space. We give a sufficient condition for the product of $H$ bounded…

We show that given any subgroup F of R_+ which is either countable or belongs to a certain "large" class of uncountable subgroups, there exist continuously many free ergodic probability measure preserving actions \sigma_i of the free group…

We study the rigidity in the sense of Zimmer for higher rank lattice actions on dendrites and show that: (1) if $\Gamma$ is a higher rank lattice and $X$ is a nondegenerate dendrite with no infinite order points, then any action of $\Gamma$…

An \textit{algebraic} action of a discrete group $\Gamma $ is a homomorphism from $\Gamma $ to the group of continuous automorphisms of a compact abelian group $X$. By duality, such an action of $\Gamma $ is determined by a module…

We consider a family of homoclinic groups and Gordin's type invariants of measure-preserving actions, state their connections with factors, full groups, ranks, rigidity, multiple mixing and realize such invariants in the class of Gaussian…

Let $G_\Gamma\curvearrowright X$ and $G_\Lambda\curvearrowright Y$ be two free measure-preserving actions of one-ended right-angled Artin groups with trivial center on standard probability spaces. Assume they are irreducible, i.e. every…

We prove the uniqueness of the group measure space Cartan subalgebra in crossed products A \rtimes \Gamma covering certain cases where \Gamma is an amalgamated free product over a non-amenable subgroup. In combination with Kida's work we…

Let $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X,\mu)$ be a measure preserving action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a standard probability space $(X,\mu)$. We prove that if the action $\Gamma\curvearrowright X$ is not profinite and satisfies a certain…

In this work, we introduce the concept of term ergodicity for action semigroups and construct semigroups on two dimensional manifolds which are $C^{1+\alpha}$-robustly term ergodic. Moreover, we illustrate the term ergodicity by some…

A probability measure preserving action of a discrete amenable group $G$ is said to be dominant if it is isomorphic to a generic extension of itself. Recently, it was shown that for $G = \mathbb{Z}$, an action is dominant if and only if it…

We prove that any ergodic nonatomic probability-preserving action of an irreducible lattice in a semisimple group, at least one factor being connected and higher-rank, is essentially free. This generalizes the result of Stuck and Zimmer…

In this article we show that any ergodic rigid system can be topologically realized by a uniformly rigid and (topologically) weak mixing topological dynamical system.

Let $\mu$ be a finitely supported probability measure on the group of automorphisms of $\mathbb{A}^2_\mathbb{C}$. If the group generated by the support of $\mu$ is non-elementary and contains only loxodromic elements, we show the existence…

We study the rich behavior of ergodicity and conservativity of Cartesian products of infinite measure preserving transformations. A class of transformations is constructed such that for any subset $R\subset \mathbb Q\cap (0,1)$ there exists…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group with property $(T)$ of Kazhdan. We prove that any Riemannian isometric action of $\Gamma$ on a compact manifold $X$ is locally rigid. We also prove a more general foliated version of this result. The…

We show that weak containment of free ergodic measure-preserving actions of $\mathbf{F}_\infty$ is not equivalent to weak containment of the corresponding Koopman representations. This result is based on the construction of an invariant…
