We study when a continuous isometric action of a Polish group on a complete metric space is, or can be, transitive. Our main results consist of showing that certain Polish groups, namely $\mathrm{Aut}^*(\mu)$ and $\mathrm{Homeo}^+[0,1]$,…

The set of increasing functions on the rational numbers, equipped with the composition operation, naturally forms a topological semigroup with respect to the topology of pointwise convergence in which a sequence of increasing functions…

We study probability-measure preserving (p.m.p.) actions of finitely generated groups via the graphings they define. We introduce and study the notion of isometric orbit equivalence for p.m.p. actions: two p.m.p. actions are isometric orbit…

By the work of Brodzki-Niblo-Nowak-Wright and Monod, topological amenability of a continuous group action can be characterized using uniformly finite homology groups or bounded cohomology groups associated to this action. We show that…

We give a classification of unitary representations of certain Polish, not necessarily locally compact, groups: the groups of all measurable functions with values in the circle and the groups of all continuous functions on compact, second…

This paper obtains an algebraic characterization of the Polish groups that satisfy Vaught's conjecture on $\bf{\Sigma}^1_1$ sets.

This paper is devoted to the study of analytic equivalence relations which are Borel graphable, i.e. which can be realized as the connectedness relation of a Borel graph. Our main focus is the question of which analytic equivalence…

The article determines the asymptotic shape of the extremal clusters in stationary regularly varying random fields. To deduce this result, we present a general framework for the Poisson approximation of point processes on Polish spaces…

It is shown that the set of orbits of the action of the elementary symplectic transvection group on all unimodular elements of a symplectic module over a commutative ring of characteristic not 2 is identical with the set of orbits of the…

In Minkowski spacetime, we consider an isolated system made of two pointlike bodies interacting at a distance, in the nonradiative approximation. Our framework is the covariant and a priori Hamiltonian formalism of "predictive relativistic…

In this paper, we consider semigroup actions of discrete countable semigroups on compact spaces by surjective local homeomorphisms. We introduce notions of continuous one-sided orbit equivalence and continuous orbit equivalence for…

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 study the complexity of isomorphism of classes of metric structures using methods from infinitary continuous logic. For Borel classes of locally compact structures, we prove that if the equivalence relation of isomorphism is potentially…

For each group $G$ having an infinite normal subgroup with the relative property (T) (for instance $G = H \times K$ where $H$ is infinite with property (T) and $K$ is arbitrary), and any countable abelian group $\Lambda$ we construct free…

We study hyperpolar actions on reducible symmetric spaces of the compact type. Our main result is that an indecomposable hyperpolar action on a symmetric space of the compact type is orbit equivalent to a Hermann action or of cohomogeneity…

We further the techniques developed by Etingof, Nikshych, and Ostrik in order to classify the $\mathcal{C}$-based equivalences between two $G$-graded extensions of $\mathcal{C}$. The main result of this paper (which follows from this…

I give a construction of compact group action on a finite dimensional space Y, whose orbit space is infinite dimensional.

We construct the space of valuations on a quasi-Polish space in terms of the characterization of quasi-Polish spaces as spaces of ideals of a countable transitive relation. Our construction is closely related to domain theoretical work on…

If $G$ is a compact group acting continuously on a compact metric space $(X, m)$, we prove two results that generalize Dirichlet's classical theorem on Diophantine approximation. If $G$ is a noncommutative compact group of isometries, we…

We prove that no quantifier-free formula in the language of group theory can define the $\aleph_1$-half graph in a Polish group, thus generalising some results from [6]. We then pose some questions on the space of groups of automorphisms of…
