In the current paper we attempt to transfer the notion of the projectional entropy, originally defined for multidimensional subshifts, to the case of actions of amenable groups. The main theorem states that if a system is strongly…

We provide a new characterization of amenability for countable groups, based on frame representations admitting almost invariant vectors. By relaxing the frame inequalities, thereby weakening amenability, we obtain a large class of…

For finite-dimensional linear semigroups which leave a proper cone invariant it is shown that irreducibility with respect to the cone implies the existence of an extremal norm. In case the cone is simplicial a similar statement applies to…

We show that the universal minimimal proximal flow and the universal minimal strongly proximal flow of a discrete group can be realized as the Stone spaces of translation invariant Boolean algebras of subsets of the group satisfying a…

In this paper we introduce an enhanced notion of extremal systems for sets in locally convex topological vector spaces and obtain efficient conditions for set extremality in the convex case. Then we apply this machinery to deriving new…

For locally compact groups amenability and Kazhdan's property (T) are mutually exclusive in the sense that a group having both properties is compact. This is no longer true for more general Polish groups. However, a weaker result still…

The main objective of this article is to provide an alternative approach to the central result of [Eldred, A. Anthony, Kirk, W. A., Veeramani, P., Proximal normal structure and relatively nonexpansive mappings, Studia Math., vol 171(3),…

In recent work, the authors developed a simple method of constructing topological spaces from certain well-behaved partially ordered sets -- those coming from sequences of relations between finite sets. This method associates a given poset…

We show that if $G$ is an amenable topological group, then the topological group $L^{0}(G)$ of strongly measurable maps from $([0,1],\lambda)$ into $G$ endowed with the topology of convergence in measure is whirly amenable, hence extremely…

It is proved that a discrete group $G$ is amenable if and only if for every unitary representation of $G$ in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $\cal H$ the maximal uniform compactification of the unit sphere $\s_{\cal H}$ has a…

Our work aims to introduce generalization of soft $ \mu $-compact soft generalized topological spaces, namely; soft nearly $ \mu $-compact spaces which are defined over initial universe with a fixed set of parameters. Basic properties and…

In this paper we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the amenability of the automorphism group of Fra\"iss\'e structures and apply it to prove the non-amenability of the automorphism groups of the directed graph $\mathbf{S}(3)$…

We generalize the fixed-point property for discrete groups acting on convex cones given by Monod in \cite{monod} to topological groups. At first, we focus on describing this fixed-point property from a functional point of view, and then we…

This is a survey of our recent results on the amenability problem for Thompson's group $F$. They mostly concern esimating the density of finite subgraphs in Cayley graphs of $F$ for various systems of generators, and also equations in the…

In this article we analyze the notions of amenability and paradoxical decomposition from an algebraic perspective. We consider this dichotomy for locally finite extended metric spaces and for general algebras over commutative fields. In the…

We provide the first examples of finitely generated simple groups that are amenable (and infinite). This follows from a general existence result on invariant states for piecewise-translations of the integers. The states are obtained by…

The main results of this paper show that various coarse (`large scale') geometric properties are closely related. In particular, we show that property A implies the operator norm localisation property, and thus that norms of operators…

We propose a homology theory for locally compact spaces with ends in which the ends play a special role. The approach is motivated by results for graphs with ends, where it has been highly successful. But it was unclear how the original…

We consider the model of random interlacements on transient graphs, which was first introduced by Sznitman [Ann. of Math. (2) (2010) 171 2039-2087] for the special case of ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ (with $d\geq3$). In Sznitman [Ann. of Math. (2)…

We introduce inner amenability for discrete p.m.p. groupoids and investigate its basic properties, examples, and the connection with central sequences in the full group of the groupoid or central sequences in the von Neumann algebra…
