We introduce and study the concept of a bornological quantum group. This generalizes the theory of algebraic quantum groups in the sense of van Daele from the algebraic setting to the framework of bornological vector spaces. Working with…

Associated to each finite dimensional linear representation of a group G, there is a vector bundle over the classifying space BG. This construction was studied extensively for compact groups by Atiyah and Segal. We introduce a homotopy…

Given a quasi-split reductive group $G$ and a symmetric variety $X$, we introduce a notion of endoscopic varieties for $(G,X)$, and establish the foundational properties of these varieties such as matching of stable semi-simple orbits. To…

We prove that the category of dg-modules and dg-algebras in a Grothendieck quasi-abelian category are endowed with a Quillen model structure. This allows some flexibility in setting up a theory of derived algebraic geometry in the infinite…

Let $G$ and $\tilde G$ be Kleinian groups whose limit sets $S$ and $\tilde S$, respectively, are homeomorphic to the standard Sierpi\'nski carpet, and such that every complementary component of each of $S$ and $\tilde S$ is a round disc. We…

We introduce the extension groups between atoms in an abelian category. For a locally noetherian Grothendieck category, the localizing subcategories closed under injective envelopes are characterized in terms of those extension groups. We…

Locally solid Riesz spaces have been widely investigated in the past several decades; but locally solid topological lattice-ordered groups seem to be largely unexplored. The paper is an attempt to initiate a relatively systematic study of…

For any topological group $G$ the dual object $\hat G$ is defined as the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of $G$ equipped with the Fell topology. If $G$ is compact, $\hat G$ is discrete. In an earlier paper…

We initiate the large scale geometric study of Banach-Lie groups, especially of linear Banach-Lie groups. We show that the exponential length, originally introduced by Ringrose for unitary groups of $C^*$-algebras, defines the…

The main objects of study in this article are pairs $(G, \mathcal{H})$ where $G$ is a topological group with a compact open subgroup, and $\mathcal{H}$ is a finite collection of open subgroups. We develop geometric techniques to study the…

We obtain many results and solve some problems about feebly compact paratopological groups. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for such a group to be topological. One of them is the quasiregularity. We prove that each…

Given an extension $0\to V\to G\to Q\to1$ of locally compact groups, with $V$ abelian, and a compatible essentially bijective $1$-cocycle $\eta\colon Q\to\hat V$, we define a dual unitary $2$-cocycle on $G$ and show that the associated…

The Isbell, compact-open and point-open topologies on the set $C(X,\mathbb{R})$ of continuous real-valued maps can be represented as the dual topologies with respect to some collections $\alpha(X)$ of compact families of open subsets of a…

In this paper, we firstly construct a Hausdorff non-submetrizable paratopological group $G$ in which every point is a $G_{\delta}$-set, which gives a negative answer to Arhangel'ski\v{\i}\ and Tkachenko's question [Topological Groups and…

A group $G$ is called hereditarily non-topologizable if, for every $H\le G$, no quotient of $H$ admits a non-discrete Hausdorff topology. We construct first examples of infinite hereditarily non-topologizable groups. This allows us to prove…

We describe all the quasi-bialgebra structures of a group algebra over a torsion-free abelian group. They all come out to be triangular in a unique way. Moreover, up to an isomorphism, these quasi-bialgebra structures produce only one…

The paper consists of two parts. In the first one we show that a relatively hyperbolic group $G$ splits as a star graph of groups whose central vertex group is finitely generated and the other vertex groups are maximal parabolic subgroups.…

We provide characterizations of Lie groups as compact-like groups in which all closed zero-dimensional metric (compact) subgroups are discrete. The "compact-like" properties we consider include (local) compactness, (local)…

We present a contribution to the structure theory of locally compact groups. The emphasis is on compactly generated locally compact groups which admit no infinite discrete quotient. It is shown that such a group possesses a characteristic…

We derive many upper bounds on the submetrizability number and $i$-weight of paratopological groups and topological monoids with open shifts. In particular, we prove that each first countable Hausdorff paratopological group is submetrizable…
