In this paper, for given an algebraic theory $T$ whose category $C$ of models is semi-abelian, we consider the topological models of $T$ called topological $T$-algebras and obtain some results related to the fundamental groups of…

We establish obstructions for groups to act by homeomorphisms on dendrites. For instance, lattices in higher rank simple Lie groups will always fix a point or a pair. The same holds for irreducible lattices in products of connected groups.…

We introduce a notion of entropy for automorphisms of discrete groups which admit amenable actions on a compact space. This entropy is dual to classical topological entropy in the sense that if G is discrete and abelian then our notion of…

We prove that in a continuous $\aleph_0$-stable theory every type-definable group is definable. The two main ingredients in the proof are: \begin{enumerate} \item Results concerning Morley ranks (i.e., Cantor-Bendixson ranks) from…

Recently there has been much interest in studying the torsion subgroups of elliptic curves base-extended to infinite extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$. In this paper, given a finite group $G$, we study what happens with the torsion of an elliptic…

We prove that for any infinite countable amenable group $G$, any $\epsilon > 0$ and any finite subset $K\subset G$, there exists a tiling (partition of $G$ into finite "tiles" using only finitely many "shapes"), where all the tiles are $(K;…

In this paper we develop three different subjects. We study and prove alternative versions of Hrushovski's "Stabilizer Theorem", we generalize part of the basic theory of definably amenable NIP groups to NTP2 theories, and finally, we use…

Lascar described E_KP as a composition of E_L and the topological closure of EL. We generalize this result to some other pairs of equivalence relations. Motivated by an attempt to construct a new example of a non-G-compact theory, we…

A theorem of Elekes and Szab\'{o} recognizes algebraic groups among certain complex algebraic varieties with maximal size intersections with finite grids. We establish a generalization to relations of any arity and dimension, definable in:…

We study convolution semigroups of invariant/finitely satisfiable Keisler measures in NIP groups. We show that the ideal (Ellis) subgroups are always trivial and describe minimal left ideals in the definably amenable case, demonstrating…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group. To every ideal in $\ell^{\infty}(\G)$ we associate a C$^*$-algebra completion of the group ring that encapsulates the unitary representations with matrix coefficients belonging to the ideal. The general…

For separable $C^*$-algebras $A$ and $B$, we define a topology on the set $[[A, B]]$ consisting of homotopy classes of asymptotic morphisms from $A$ to $B$. This gives an enrichment of the Connes--Higson asymptotic category over topological…

We show that various actions of topological conformal theories that were suggested recentely are particular cases of a general action. We prove the invariance of these models under transformations generated by nilpotent fermionic generators…

We study algebraic properties on a group G such that if the discrete group G has these properties then every locally compact shift continuous topology on G with adjoined zero is either compact, or discrete. We introduce electorally flexible…

The notion of a continuous $G$-action on a topological space readily generalizes to that of a continuous $D$-action, where $D$ is any small category. Dror Farjoun and Zabrodsky introduced a generalized notion of orbit, which is key to…

We study the topological dynamics by iterations of a piecewise continuous, non linear and locally contractive map in a real finite dimensional compact ball. We consider those maps satisfying the "separation property": different continuity…

The "theory of open sub-functorial dynamics" is a new theory that defines interacting generalized dynamical systems. The interactions between these dynamics produce new dynamics which, of course, can then enter into other interactions. A…

In this paper, we propose a novel approach that employs kinetic equations to describe the collective dynamics emerging from graph-mediated pairwise interactions in multi-agent systems. We formally show that for large graphs and specific…

We introduce a notion of productivity (summability) of sequences in a topological group G, parametrized by a given function f : N --> omega+1. The extreme case when f is the function taking constant value omega is closely related to the TAP…

This paper is a survey about recent developments in the local entropy theory for topological dynamical systems and continuous group actions, with particular emphasis on the connections with other areas of dynamical systems and mathematics.
