Let $G$ be a locally compact group and $1\leq p<\infty$. A continuous unitary representation $\pi\!: G\to B(\mathcal{H})$ of $G$ is an $L^p$-representation if the matrix coefficient functions $s\mapsto \langle \pi(s)x,x\rangle$ lie in…

It is a well-known result of Eymard that the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra of a locally compact group $G$ can be identified with the dual of the group $\cs$ $C^{*}(G)$. A corresponding result for a locally compact groupoid $G$ has been…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group with an open subgroup $H$ with the Kunze-Stein property, and let $\pi$ be a unitary representation of $H$. We show that the representation $\widetilde{\pi}$ of $G$ induced from $\pi$ is an…

We study the general form of isomorphisms on the algebra of compactly supported complex-valued continuous functions defined on a locally compact Hausdorff space (the proof of which works for the algebra of $C^k-$differentiable functions on…

We establish a characterization of the well-behaved orbits of a totally Baire $G$-space of a hereditary Lindel\"of locally compact group under a mild assumption of Hausdorffness. Furthermore we give a reformulation of the proof of Glimm's…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group. Consider the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$ of continuous complex functions on $G$, tending to 0 at infinity. The product in $G$ gives rise to a coproduct $\Delta_G$ on the C$^*$-algebra $C_0(G)$. A locally…

We establish new results on the weak containment of quasi-regular and Koopman representations of a second countable locally compact group $G$ associated with non-singular $G$-spaces. We deduce that any two boundary representations of a…

We define a Howe-Moore property relative to a set of subgroups. Namely, a group $G$ has the Howe-Moore property relative to a set $\mathcal{F}$ of subgroups if for every unitary representation $\pi$ of $G$, whenever the restriction of $\pi$…

Let $G$ be a locally compact group and let $C^*(G)$ and $C^*_r(G)$ be the full group $C^*$-algebra and the reduced group $C^*$-algebra of $G$. We investigate the relationship between Property $(T)$ for $G$ and Property $(T)$ as well as its…

Let $G$ be a second-countable, locally compact Hausdorff groupoid equipped with a Haar system. This paper investigates the weak containment of continuous unitary representations of groupoids. We show that both induction and inner tensor…

We (a) prove that continuous morphisms from locally compact groups to locally exponential (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie groups factor through Lie quotients, recovering a result of Shtern's on factoring norm-continuous representations…

We generalize the notion of weakly mixing unitary representations to locally compact quantum groups, introducing suitable extensions of all standard characterizations of weak mixing to this setting. These results are used to complement the…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a locally compact quantum group, and $A,B$ von Neumann algebras on which $\mathbb{G}$ acts. We refer to these as $\mathbb{G}$-dynamical W$^*$-algebras. We make a study of $\mathbb{G}$-equivariant $A$-$B$-correspondences,…

As a consequence of Kirchberg's work, Connes' Embedding Conjecture is equivalent to the property that every homomorphism of the group $F_\infty\times F_\infty$ into the unitary group $U(\ell^2)$ with the strong topology is pointwise…

Three separation properties for a closed subgroup $H$ of a locally compact group $G$ are studied: (1) the existence of a bounded approximate indicator for $H$, (2) the existence of a completely bounded invariant projection of…

We make a comprehensive and self-contained study of compact bicrossed products arising from matched pairs of discrete groups and compact groups. We exhibit an automatic regularity property of such a matched pair and and produce an easy…

Let $(\Gamma,\mu)$ be a bipartite graph together with a weight on its vertices. Assume that $\mu$ is an eigenvector for the adjacency matrix of $\Gamma$. Let Aut$(\Gamma, \mu)$ be the automorphism group of the bipartite graph $\Gamma$ that…
