We prove that all cubulated groups are semistable at infinity. In doing so we prove two further results about cubulations of groups. The first of these states that any one-ended cubulated group has a cubulation for which all halfspaces are…
Let \(G\) be a non-discrete, locally compact group with Haar measure \(m\). We prove that there exists a compact set \(K \subset G\) with \(m(K)=0\) such that \(KK^{-1}\) contains a neighborhood of the identity. Moreover, such a set may be…
We study lattice embeddings for the class of countable groups $\Gamma$ defined by the property that the largest amenable uniformly recurrent subgroup $A_\Gamma$ is continuous. When $A_\Gamma$ comes from an extremely proximal action and the…
Working in the framework of Borel reducibility, we study various notions of embeddability between groups. We prove that the embeddability between countable groups, the topological embeddability between (discrete) Polish groups, and the…
We prove several structural results on definably compact groups G in o-minimal expansions of real closed fields, such as (i) G is definably an almost direct product of a semisimple group and a commutative group, and (ii) the group (G, .) is…
We prove that every topological action of a countable group on a metrizable space can be realized as a bi-Lipschitz action with respect to some compatible metric. This extends a result due to U. Hamenst\"{a}dt regarding finitely generated…
In this paper, continuous binary operations of a topological space are studied and a criterion of their invertibility is proved. The classification problem of groups of invertible continuous binary operations of locally compact and locally…
In this short note we introduce a notion called "quantum injectivity" of locally compact quantum groups, and prove that it is equivalent to amenability of the dual. Particularly, this provides a new characterization of amenability of…
Let $\Gamma$ be an amenable countable discrete group. Fix an ergodic free nonsingular action of $\Gamma$ on a nonatomic standard probability space. Let $G$ be a compactly generated locally compact second countable group such that the…
We study systematically groups whose marked finite quotients form a recursive set. We give several definitions, and prove basic properties of this class of groups, and in particular emphasize the link between the growth of the depth…
The main objective of this paper is the following two results. (1) There exists a computable bi-orderable group that does not have a computable bi-ordering; (2) There exists a bi-orderable, two-generated recursively presented solvable group…
In this note, we study the problem on the existence of non-cyclic free subgroups of the skew group algebra of a locally finite group over a field.
We give an elementary proof of a compact embedding theorem in abstract Sobolev spaces. The result is first presented in a general context and later specialized to the case of degenerate Sobolev spaces defined with respect to nonnegative…
We prove that the second homology group of the completion of an infinite dimensional free Lie algebra is uncountable.
We study generic properties of topological groups in the sense of Baire category. First we investigate countably infinite (discrete) groups. We extend a classical result of B. H. Neumann, H. Simmons and A. Macintyre on algebraically closed…
We introduce the notion of commability between locally compact groups, namely the equivalence relation generated by cocompact inclusions and quotients by compact normal subgroups. We give a classification of focal hyperbolic locally compact…
We study finite groups which possess a strongly p-embedded subgroup for some odd prime p. The main results of the paper will be applied in the ongoing project to classify the simple groups of local characteristic p.
In this note we study countable subgroups of the full group of a measure preserving equivalence relation. We provide various constraints on the group structure, the nature of the action, and on the measure of fixed point sets, that imply…
We suggest a modified and briefer version for the proof of Higman's embedding theorem stating that a finitely generated group can be embedded in a finitely presented group if and only if it is recursively presented. In particular, we…
We show that every subgroup of the mapping class group MCG(S) of a compact surface S is either virtually abelian or it has infinite dimensional second bounded cohomology. As an application, we give another proof of the…
