Morgan and Culler proved that a minimal action of a free group on a tree is determined by its translation length function. We prove an analogue of this theorem for 2-dimensional right-angled Artin groups acting on CAT(0) rectangle…
Actions of locally compact groups and quantum groups on W*-ternary rings of operators are discussed and related crossed products introduced. The results generalise those for von Neumann algebraic actions with proofs based mostly on passing…
We study analogues of Cartan decompositions of Lie groups for totally disconnected locally compact groups. It is shown using these decompositions that a large class of totally disconnected locally compact groups acting on trees and…
This is a continuation of the study, begun by Ceccherini-Silberstein and Woess, of context-free pairs of groups and the related context-free graphs in the sense of Muller and Schupp. Instead of the cones (connected components with respect…
A predicate linear temporal logic LTL_{\lambda,=} without quantifiers but with predicate abstraction mechanism and equality is considered. The models of LTL_{\lambda,=} can be naturally seen as the systems of pebbles (flexible constants)…
We construct p.m.p. group actions that are not local-global limits of sequences of finite graphs. Moreover, they do not weakly contain any sequence of finite labeled graphs. Our methods are based on the study of almost automorphisms of…
The theory of abstract argumentation frameworks (afs) has, in the main, focused on finite structures, though there are many significant contexts where argumentation can be regarded as a process involving infinite objects. To address this…
We propose a new unifying framework for Thompson-like groups using a well-known device called operads and category theory as language. We discuss examples of operad groups which have appeared in the literature before. As a first…
This paper explores acylindrical actions on trees, building on previous works related to the mapping class group and projection complexes. We demonstrate that the quotient action of a $1$-acylindrical action of a group on a tree by an…
Field theory and gauge theory on noncommutative spaces have been established as their own areas of research in recent years. The hope prevails that a noncommutative gauge theory will deliver testable experimental predictions and will thus…
We study free and compact group actions on unital C*-algebras. In particular, we provide a complete classification theory of these actions for compact Abelian groups and explain its relation to the classical classification theory of…
We develop a method for proving the Boone--Higman Conjecture for groups acting on locally finite trees. As a consequence, we prove the Boone--Higman Conjecture for all Baumslag--Solitar groups and for all free(finite rank)-by-cyclic groups,…
Semigroup actions and their invertible extensions are discussed. First, we develop a theory of natural extensions for continuous actions of countable, embeddable semigroups. Second, we demonstrate that not every surjective such action of a…
In this monograph we lay the foundation for a theory of coarse groups and coarse actions. Coarse groups are group objects in the category of coarse spaces, and can be thought of as sets with operations that satisfy the group axioms "up to…
Graphs are a generalized concept that encompasses more complex data structures than trees, such as difference lists, doubly-linked lists, skip lists, and leaf-linked trees. Normally, these structures are handled with destructive assignments…
Regression trees and their ensemble methods are popular methods for nonparametric regression: they combine strong predictive performance with interpretable estimators. To improve their utility for locally smooth response surfaces, we study…
We identify natural conditions for a countable group acting on a countable tree which imply that the orbit equivalence relation of the induced action on the Gromov boundary is Borel hyperfinite. Examples of this condition include…
Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…
We establish analogues in the context of group actions or group representations of some classical problems and results in additive combinatorics of groups. We also study the notion of left invariant submodular function defined on power sets…
Like any other logical theory, domain descriptions in reasoning about actions may evolve, and thus need revision methods to adequately accommodate new information about the behavior of actions. The present work is about changing action…
