A dimension group is an ordered abelian group that is an inductive limit of a sequence of simplicial groups, and a stationary dimension group is such an inductive limit in which the homomorphism is the same at every stage. If a simple…

There exist simple dimension groups which cannot be expressed as a direct limit of simple, or even approximately divisible dimension groups, each with finitely many pure traces, and we can specify its infinite-dimensional Choquet simplex of…

The Cremona group is connected in any dimension and, endowed with its topology, it is simple in dimension 2. ----- Le groupe de Cremona est connexe en toute dimension et, muni de sa topologie, il est simple en dimension 2.

For a compact convex subset $K $ of a locally convex Hausdorff space, a measurement on $A(K)$ is a finite family of positive elements in $A(K)$ normalized to the unit constant $1_K$, where $A(K)$ denotes the set of continuous real affine…

We show that within any strong orbit equivalent class, there exist minimal subshifts with arbitrarily low superlinear complexity. This is done by proving that for any simple dimension group with unit $(G,G^+,u)$ and any sequence of positive…

Equifacetal simplices, all of whose codimension one faces are congruent to one another, are studied. It is shown that the isometry group of such a simplex acts transitively on its set of vertices, and, as an application, equifacetal…

We consider precompact sequential and Fr\'echet group topologies and show that some natural constructions of such topologies always result in metrizable groups answering a question of D.~Dikranjan et al. We show that it is consistent that…

\noindent Let $A$ be an arbitrary $C^*$ algebra. In \cite{BH} Blackadar and Handelman conjectured the set of lower semicontinuous dimension functions on $A$ to be pointwise dense in the set $DF(A)$ of all dimension functions on $A$ and…

Akin's notion of good measure, introduced to classify measures on Cantor sets has been translated to dimension groups and corresponding traces by Bezuglyi and the author, but emphasizing the simple (minimal dynamical system) case. Here we…

We define simplicial and dimension $\Gamma$-groups, the generalizations of simplicial and dimension groups to the case when these groups have an action of an arbitrary group $\Gamma.$ Assuming that the integral group ring of $\Gamma$ is…

M. Goresky and R. MacPherson intersection homology is also defined from the singular chain complex of a filtered space by H. King, with a key formula to make selections among singular simplexes. This formula needs a notion of dimension for…

We give a general criterion for the (bounded) simplicity of the automorphism groups of certain countable structures and apply it to show that the isometry group of the Urysohn space modulo the normal subgroup of bounded isometries is a…

For each Sophie Germain prime $g \geq 5,$ we construct an absolutely simple polarized abelian variety of dimension $g$ over a finite field, whose automorphism group is a cyclic group of order $4g+2$. We also provide a description on the…

Let $X$ be an affine, simplicial toric variety over a field. Let $G_0$ denote the Grothendieck group of coherent sheaves on a Noetherian scheme and let $F^1G_0$ denote the first step of the filtration on $G_0$ by codimension of support.…

We prove that for any normal toric variety, the Rouquier dimension of its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves is equal to its Krull dimension. Our proof uses the coherent-constructible correspondence to translate the problem into…

We present two approaches, one homological and the other simplicial, for the investigation of dimension quotients of groups. The theory is illustrated, in particular, with a conceptual discussion of the fourth and fifth dimension quotients.

The paper has three parts. It is conjectured that for every elementary amenable group G and every non-zero commutative ring k, the homological dimension of G over k is equal to the Hirsch length of G whenever G has no k-torsion. In Part I…

We give a construction for the d-dimensional simplices with all distances in {1,2} from the set of partitions of d+1.

We translate Akin's notion of {\it good} (and related concepts) from measures on Cantor sets to traces on dimension groups, and particularly for invariant measures of minimal homeomorphisms (and their corresponding simple dimension groups),…

We provide new stable linearizability constructions for regular actions of finite groups on homogeneous spaces and low-dimensional quadrics.
