We examine Hilbert-Schmidt stability (HS-stability) of discrete amenable groups from several angles. We give a short, elementary proof that finitely generated nilpotent groups are HS-stable. We investigate the permanence of HS-stability…

This paper proves various results concerning non-ergodic actions of locally compact groups and particularly Borel cocycles defined over such actions. The general philosophy is to reduce the study of the cocycle to the study of its…

In this paper we study the rigidity problem for sub-static systems with possibly non-empty boundary. First, we get local and global splitting theorems by assuming the existence of suitable compact minimal hypersurfaces, complementing recent…

A version of the Riesz-Sobolev convolution inequality is formulated and proved for arbitrary compact connected Abelian groups. Maximizers are characterized and a quantitative stability theorem is proved, under natural hypotheses. A…

Given a group $G$ of homeomorphism of a first-countable Hausdorff space $\mathcal{X}$, we prove that if the action of $G$ on $\mathcal{X}$ is minimal and has rigid stabilisers that act locally minimally, then the neighbourhood stabilisers…

Rigid actions have zero Rokhlin entropy and nonpositive sofic entropy. Because rigidity is a stable orbit-equivalence invariant, this provides the first example of an essentially free, ergodic, probability-measure-preserving action of the…

We prove that any `finite-type' component of a stability space of a triangulated category is contractible. The motivating example of such a component is the stability space of the Calabi--Yau-$N$ category $\mathcal{D}(\Gamma_N Q)$…

We presented a systematic treatment of a Hilbert criterion for stability theory for an action of a real reductive group $G$ on a real submanifold $X$ of a K\"ahler manifold $Z$. More precisely, we suppose the action of a compact connected…

Given a simple Lie group $G$, we show that the lattices in $G$ are weakly uniformly discrete. This is a strengthening of the Kazhdan-Margulis theorem. Our proof however is straightforward --- considering general IRS rather than lattices…

This article began as a study of the structure of infinite permutation groups G in which point stabilisers are finite and all infinite normal subgroups are transitive. That led to two variations. One is the generalisation in which point…

We show that the stabilization of any countable ergodic p.m.p. equivalence relation which is not Schmidt, i.e. admits no central sequences in its full group, always gives rise to a stable equivalence relation with a unique stable…

In this article, we prove Neveu decomposition for the action of the locally compact amenable semigroup of positive contractions on semifinite von Neumann algebras and thus, it entirely resolves the problem for the actions of arbitrary…

We prove a super-rigidity result for algebraic representations over complete fields of irreducible lattices in product of groups and lattices with dense commensurator groups. We derive some criteria for non-linearity of such groups.

We study invariant probability measures on the homogeneous space $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb R)/\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb Z)$ for the action of subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb R)$ of the form $SF$ where $F$ is generated by one parameter…

We revisit Margulis-Zimmer Super-Rigidity and provide some generalizations. In particular we obtain super-rigidity results for lattices in higher-rank groups or product of groups, targeting at algebraic groups over arbitrary fields with…

We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for an action of a lattice by homeomorphisms of the circle to extend continuously to the ambient locally compact group. This condition is expressed in terms of the real bounded Euler class…

We study II_1 factors M and N associated with good generalized Bernoulli actions of groups having an infinite almost normal subgroup with the relative property (T). We prove the following rigidity result: every finite index M-N-bimodule (in…

We show that the (topological) full group of a minimal pseudogroup over the Cantor set satisfies various rigidity phenomena of topological dynamical and combinatorial nature. Our main result applies to its possible homomorphisms into other…

We prove several superrigidity results for isometric actions on metric spaces satisfying some convexity properties. First, we extend some recent theorems of N. Monod on uniform and certain non-uniform irreducible lattices in products of…

It is a classical result of Kaimanovich and Vershik and independently of Rosenblatt that a non-amenable group admits a non-degenerate symmetric measure such that the Poisson boundary is trivial. Most if not all examples to date of non-free…
