We prove a structure theorem for stable functions on amenable groups, which extends the arithmetic regularity lemma for stable subsets of finite groups. Given a group $G$, a function $f\colon G\to [-1,1]$ is called stable if the binary…

It is known that for every second countable locally compact group G, there exists a proper G-invariant metric which induces the topology of the group. This is no longer true for coset spaces G/H viewed as G-spaces. We study necessary and…

We give an affirmative answer to a question due to M. Megrelishvili, and show that for every locally compact group $G$ we have $\operatorname{Tame}(L^{1}(G)) = \operatorname{Tame}(G)$, which means that a functional is tame over $L^{1}(G)$…

In this paper we investigate Hartman functions on a topological group $G$. Recall that $(\iota, C)$ is a group compactification of $G$ if $C$ is a compact group, $\iota: G\to C$ is a continuous group homomorphism and $\iota(G)$ is dense in…

Let Phi : M --> g^* be a proper moment map associated to an action of a compact connected Lie group, G, on a connected symplectic manifold, (M,\omega). A collective function is a pullback via \Phi of a smooth function on g^*. In this paper…

We consider differential equations of the form y'(t)=f(t,y(t)) on a (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie group G, for f : [0,1] x G -> TG a time-dependent left invariant vector field with measurable (but not necessarily continuous)…

Symmetry plays a basic role in variational problems (settled e.g. in $\mathbb R^{n}$ or in a more general manifold), for example to deal with the lack of compactness which naturally appear when the problem is invariant under the action of a…

We introduce a class of toposes called "absolutely locally compact" toposes and of "admissible" sheaf of rings over such toposes. To any such ringed topos $(\mathcal{T},A)$ we attach an involutive convolution algebra…

We study the action of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms of a compact symplectic manifold ($X,\omega$) on $C^\infty(X)$ and on functions $C^\infty(X)\to \mathbb R$. We describe various properties of invariant convex functions on $C^\infty(X)$.…

We shown that every continuous local functional on the space of finite convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a valuation. This relation is used to establish a homogeneous decomposition for the class of polynomial local functionals as well…

In this paper we investigate the relationship between the properties of a compact set $\sigma \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ and the structure of the space $BV(\sigma)$ of functions of bounded variation (in the sense of Ashton and Doust) defined on…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called {\em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $K\subset X$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is…

In 1972, B. E. Johnson proved that a locally compact group $G$ is amenable if and only if certain Hochschild cohomology groups of its convolution algebra $L^1(G)$ vanish. Similarly, $G$ is compact if and only if $L^1(G)$ is biprojective: In…

We show that if a (locally compact) group $G$ acts properly on a locally compact $\sigma$-compact space $X$ then there is a family of $G$-invariant proper continuous finite-valued pseudometrics which induces the topology of $X$. If $X$ is…

Given a topological group $ G $ and a Hausdorff topological group $ A $ on which $ G $ acts continuously and compatibly with the group operation of $ A $, we study the set of continuous cocycles of $ G $ with value in $ A $. This set is a…

Let $G$ be a compact group, let $X$ be a Banach space, and let $P\colon L^1(G)\to X$ be an orthogonally additive, continuous $n$-homogeneous polynomial. Then we show that there exists a unique continuous linear map $\Phi\colon L^1(G)\to X$…

A compactness of the Revuz map is established in the sense that the locally uniform convergence of a sequence of positive continuous additive functionals is derived in terms of their smooth measures. To this end, we first introduce a metric…

Let $G$ be a compact, connected, and simply-connected Lie group, equipped with a Lie group involution $\sigma_G$ and viewed as a $G$-space with the conjugation action. In this paper, we present a description of the ring structure of the…

Let $G$ be a compact, simply connected Lie group. If $\mathcal{C}_1,\mathcal{C}_2$ are two $G$-conjugacy classes, then the set of elements in $G$ that can be written as products $g=g_1g_2$ of elements $g_i\in \mathcal{C}_i$ is invariant…

We prove that for any two centrally-symmetric convex shapes $K,L \subset \mathbb{R}^2$, the function $t \mapsto |e^t K \cap L|$ is log-concave. This extends a result of Cordero-Erausquin, Fradelizi and Maurey in the two dimensional case.…
