We say that a group G is a cube group if it is generated by a set S of involutions such that the corresponding Cayley graph Cay(G,S) is isomorphic to a cube. Equivalently, G is a cube group if it acts on a cube such that the action is…

Suppose that $B$ is a $G$-Banach algebra over $\mathbb{F} = \mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, $X$ is a finite dimensional compact metric space, $\zeta : P \to X$ is a standard principal $G$-bundle, and $A_\zeta = \Gamma (X, P \times_G B)$ is the…

We show that a topometric space $X$ is topometrically isomorphic to a type space of some continuous first-order theory if and only if $X$ is compact and has an open metric (i.e., satisfies that $\{p : d(p,U) < \varepsilon\}$ is open for…

If $R$ is a topological ring then $R^{\ast}$, the group of units of $R$, with the subspace topology is not necessarily a topological group. This leads us to the following natural definition: By an \emph{absolute topological ring} we mean a…

We associate to every action of a Polish group on a standard probability space a Polish group that we call the orbit full group. For discrete groups, we recover the well-known full groups of pmp equivalence relations equipped with the…

Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the…

Let $G$ be a connected, simply connected three-dimensional Lie group (unimodular or non-unimodular) equipped with a left-invariant (Riemannian or Lorentzian) metric $g$. By definition, the isometry group $\mathrm{Isom}(G, g)$ contains $G$…

We define the Polish space $\mathcal{R}$ of non-degenerate rank-1 systems. Each non-degenerate rank-1 system can be viewed as a measure-preserving transformation of an atomless, $\sigma$-finite measure space and as a homeomorphism of a…

Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact groups and consider their associate spaces of almost periodic functions $AP(G)$ and $AP(H)$. We investigate the continuous group homomorphisms induced by isometries of $AP(G)$ into $AP(H)$. Among others,…

We say that a finite metric space $X$ can be embedded almost isometrically into a class of metric spaces $C$, if for every $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an embedding of $X$ into one of the elements of $C$ with the bi-Lipschitz distortion less…

Suppose G is a topological group containing a (closed) topological copy of the Frechet-Urysohn fan. If G is a perfectly normal sequential space (a normal k-space) then every closed metrizable subset in $G$ is locally compact. Applying this…

We show a structural property of cohomology with coefficients in an isometric representation on a uniformly convex Banach space: if the cohomology group $H^1(G,\pi)$ is reduced, then, up to an isomorphism, it is a closed complemented,…

The notion of locally quasi-convex abelian group, introduce by Vilenkin, is extended to maximally almost-periodic non-necessarily abelian groups. For that purpose, we look at certain bornologies that can be defined on the set…

We prove that if X is a complete geodesic metric space with uniformly generated first homology group and $f: X\to R$ is metrically proper on the connected components and bornologous, then X is quasi-isometric to a tree. Using this and…

The absolute logarithmic Weil height is well defined on the group of units of the algebraic closure of the rational numbers, modulo roots of unity, and induces a metric topology on this group. We show that the completion of this metric…
