We define and study notions of amenability and skew-amenability of continuous actions of topological groups on compact topological spaces. Our main motivation is the question under what conditions amenability of a topological group passes…

We consider an action of a countable amenable group on a compact metric space, focusing on the set of generic points with respect to a fixed F{\o}lner sequence. For a given characteristic class, we prove that the set of points that are…

Bowen's notion of sofic entropy is a powerful invariant for classifying probability-preserving actions of sofic groups. It can be defined in terms of the covering numbers of certain metric spaces associated to such an action, the `model…

We introduce the notion of hyperfiniteness for permutation actions of countable groups on countable sets and give a geometric and analytic characterization, similar to the known characterizations for amenable actions. We also answer a…

Let G be an infinite discrete countable amenable group acting continuously on a Lebesgue space X. In this article, using partition and factor-space, the conditional entropy of the action G is defined. We introduction some properties of…

After calculating the Dushnik-Miller dimension of Minkowski spaces to be countable infinity, we define a novel notion of dimension for ordered spaces recovering the correct manifold dimension and obtain a corresponding obstruction for the…

We define an infinite graded graph of ordered pairs and a~canonical action of the group $\mathbb{Z}$ (the adic action) and of the infinite sum of groups of order two~$\mathcal{D}=\sum_1^{\infty} \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ on the path space of…

Sofic groups generalise both residually finite and amenable groups, and the concept is central to many important results and conjectures in measured group theory. We introduce a topological notion of a sofic boundary attached to a given…

In this paper, we prove variational principles between metric mean dimension and rate distortion function for countable discrete amenable group actions which extend recently results by Lindenstrauss and Tsukamoto.

Recently Lewis Bowen introduced a notion of entropy for measure-preserving actions of a countable sofic group on a standard probability space admitting a generating partition with finite entropy. By applying an operator algebra perspective…

We show exact dimensionality of harmonic measures associated with random walks on groups acting on a hyperbolic space under finite first moment condition, and establish the dimension formula by the entropy over the drift. We also treat the…

We prove that for certain actions of a discrete countable residually finite amenable group acting on a compact metric space with specification property, periodic measures are dense in the set of invariant measures.

We introduce a notion of mean cohomological independence dimension for actions of discrete amenable groups on compact metrizable spaces, as a variant of mean dimension, and use it to obtain lower bounds for the radius of comparison of the…

In this article we develop a notion of soficity for actions of countable groups on sets. We show two equivalent perspectives, several natural properties and examples. Notable examples include arbitrary actions of both amenable groups and…

Let $G$ be an infinite countable amenable group and $P$ a polyhedron with topological dimension $dim(P)<\infty$. We construct a minimal subshift $(X,G)$ such that its mean topological dimension is equal to $dim(P)$. This result answers the…

We introduce the class of strongly sofic monoids. This class of monoids strictly contains the class of sofic groups and is a proper subclass of the class of sofic monoids. We define and investigate sofic topological entropy for actions of…

Measure equivalence was introduced by Gromov as a measured analogue of quasi-isometry. Unlike the latter, measure equivalence does not preserve the large scale geometry of groups and happens to be very flexible in the amenable world. Indeed…

In this paper we study analogues of amenability for topological groups in the context of definable structures. We prove fixed point theorems for such groups. More importantly, we propose definitions for definable actions and continuous…
