We show the necessary part of the following theorem : a finitely generated, residually finite group has property $PL^p$ (i.e. it admits a proper isometric affine action on some $L^p$ space) if, and only if, one (or equivalently, all) of its…

In this paper, we prove a series of results on group embeddings in groups with a small number of generators. We show that each finitely generated group $G$ lying in a variety ${\mathcal M}$ can be embedded in a $4$-generated group $H \in…

We show that the Hilbert space is coarsely embeddable into any $\ell_p$ for $1\le p<\infty$. In particular, this yields new characterizations of embeddability of separable metric spaces into the Hilbert space.

We show that, given a metric space $(Y,d)$ of curvature bounded from above in the sense of Alexandrov, and a positive Radon measure $\mu$ on $Y$ giving finite mass to bounded sets, the resulting metric measure space $(Y,d,\mu)$ is…

We give first examples of finitely generated groups having an intermediate, with values in (0,1), Hilbert space compression (which is a numerical parameter measuring the distortion required to embed a metric space into Hilbert space). These…

The main purpose of the paper is to find some expansion properties of locally finite metric spaces which do not embed coarsely into a Hilbert space. The obtained result is used to show that infinite locally finite graphs excluding a minor…

We introduce the notion of strong embeddability for a metric space. This property lies between coarse embeddability and property A. A relative version of strong embeddability is developed in terms of a family of set maps on the metric…

We prove that every finitely generated group with recursive aspherical presentation embeds into a group with finite aspherical presentation. This and several known facts about groups and manifolds imply that there exists a 4-dimensional…

We consider box spaces of finitely generated, residually finite groups $G$, and try to distinguish them up to coarse equivalence. We show that, for $n\geq 2$, the group $SL_n(\mathbb{Z})$ has a continuum of box spaces which are pairwise…

In this paper, we discuss the embeddability of subspaces of the Gromov-Hausdorff space, which consists of isometry classes of compact metric spaces endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff distance, into Hilbert spaces. These embeddings are…

The connection between the coarse geometry of metric spaces and analytic properties of topological groupoids is well known. One of the main results of Skandalis, Tu and Yu is that a space admits a coarse embedding into Hilbert space if and…

We show that countable metric spaces always have quantum isometry groups, thus extending the class of metric spaces known to possess such universal quantum-group actions. Motivated by this existence problem we define and study the notion of…

We show that the problem whether a given finite metric space can be embedded into $m$-dimensional rectilinear space can be reformulated in terms of the Gromov--Hausdorff distance between some special finite metric spaces.

We construct two Hilbert spaces over the set of all metrics of arbitrary but fixed signature, defined on a manifold. Every state in one of the Hilbert spaces is built of an uncountable number of wave functions representing some elementary…

We investigate the geometry of the family $\cal M$ of isometry classes of compact metric spaces, endowed with the Gromov-Hausdorff metric. We show that sufficiently small neighborhoods of generic finite spaces in the subspace of all finite…

We show that, for a separable and complete metric space $M$, the Lipschitz-free space $\mathcal F(M)$ embeds linearly and almost-isometrically into $\ell_1$ if and only if $M$ is a subset of an $\mathbb R$-tree with length measure 0.…

Sofic groups generalise both residually finite and amenable groups, and the concept is central to many important results and conjectures in measured group theory. We introduce a topological notion of a sofic boundary attached to a given…

For a convergent series with positive terms, we prove that the $\ell^\infty$ product space of bounded subspaces of the Gromov-Hausdorff space can be isometrically embedded into the Gromov-Hausdorff space, where each subspace consists of…

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…

Below, by space we mean a separable metrizable zero-dimensional space. It is studied when the space can be embedded in a Cantor set while maintaining the algebraic structure. Main results of the work: every space is an open retract of a…
