We prove that a Hausdorff paratopological group G is meager if and only if there are a nowhere dense subset A of G and a countable subset C in G such that CA=G=AC.

We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a trace on the essential $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebra of a (not necessarily Hausdorff) \'etale groupoid $G$ which extends an invariant measure $\mu$ on the unit space of $G$. In particular,…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of the symmetric group $S_n$. If the proportion of fixed-point-free elements in $G$ (or a coset) equals the proportion of fixed-point-free elements in $S_n$, then $G=S_n$. The analogue for $A_n$ holds if $n \ge 7$. We…

It is shown that every separable abelian topological group is isomorphic with a topological subgroup of a monothetic group (that is, a topological group with a single topological generator). In particular, every separable metrizable abelian…

Benyamini and Lindenstrauss mention in their monograph \emph{Geometric nonlinear functional analysis Vol. 1., American Mathematical Society Colloquium Publications, 48. American Mathematical Society, Providence, RI, 2000} that there is no…

We characterize amenability of subspaces of $C(S)$, where $S$ is a semitopological semigroup, in terms of fixed point properties of nonexpansive actions. In particular, we give a complete characterization of a semitopological semigroup with…

We show that if $T$ is an isometry (as metric spaces) from an open subgroup of the group of the invertible elements in a unital semisimple commutative Banach algebra onto an open subgroup of the group of the invertible elements in a unital…

Let $M(S)$ be the Banach algebra of all bounded regular Borel measures on a locally compact Hausdorff semitopological semigroup $S$ with variation norm and convolution as multiplication. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for…

In this paper we consider the problem of group invariant subspace clustering where the data is assumed to come from a union of group-invariant subspaces of a vector space, i.e. subspaces which are invariant with respect to action of a given…

We show that there are no nontrivial surjective uniformly asymptotically regular mappings acting on a metric space and derive some consequences of this fact. In particular, we prove that a jointly continuous left amenable or left reversible…

A discrete subset $S$ of a topological group $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{e\}$ is closed in $G$ and the subgroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $e$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, the…

Let $\mathcal G$ denote the space of finitely generated marked groups. For any finitely generated group $G$, we construct a continuous, injective map $f$ from the space of subgroups $Sub(G)$ to $\mathcal G$ that sends conjugate subgroups to…

Let $G$ be a locally compact totally disconnected topological group. Under a necessary mild assumption, we show that the irreducible unitary representations of $G$ are uniformly admissible if and only if the irreducible smooth…

When $G$ is a connected compact Lie group, and $\pi$ is a closed surface group, then $Hom(\pi,G)$ contains an open dense $Out(\pi)$-invariant subset which is a smooth symplectic manifold. This symplectic structure is $Out(\pi)$-invariant…

In this note for a topological group $G$, we introduce a bounded subset of $G$ and we find some relationships of this definition with other topological properties of $G$.

We give examples of (i) a simple theory with a formula (with parameters) which does not fork over the empty set but has mu measure 0 for every automorphism invariant Keisler measure mu, and (ii) a definable group G in a simple theory such…

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on a separable Banach space $X$. A subset $U\subset X$ is $\mu$-continuous if $\mu(\partial U)=0$. In the paper the $\mu$-continuity and uniform $\mu$-continuity of convex bodies in $X$, especially of…

We say that a C*-algebra is nowhere scattered if none of its quotients contains a minimal open projection. We characterize this property in various ways, by topological properties of the spectrum, by divisibility properties in the Cuntz…

The spread of a group $G$, written $s(G)$, is the largest $k$ such that for any nontrivial elements $x_1, \dots, x_k \in G$ there exists $y \in G$ such that $G = \langle x_i, y \rangle$ for all $i$. Burness, Guralnick and Harper recently…

An invariant random subgroup of the countable group {\Gamma} is a random subgroup of {\Gamma} whose distribution is invariant under conjugation by all elements of {\Gamma}. We prove that for a nonamenable invariant random subgroup H, the…
