We prove a mean ergodic theorem for amenable discrete quantum groups. As an application, we prove a Wiener type theorem for continuous measures on compact metrizable groups.

The $K$-groups of the crossed product of the rotation C*-algebra $A_\theta$ by free and amalgamated products of the cyclic groups $\mathbb Z_n$, for $n=2,3,4,6$, are calculated. The actions here arise from the canonical actions of these…

Let $\G$ be a group of type rotating automorphisms of an affine building $\cB$ of type $\wt A_2$. If $\G$ acts freely on the vertices of $\cB$ with finitely many orbits, and if $\Omega$ is the (maximal) boundary of $\cB$, then…

The discriminant group of a minimal equicontinuous action of a group $G$ on a Cantor set $X$ is the subgroup of the closure of the action in the group of homeomorphisms of $X$, consisting of homeomorphisms which fix a given point. The…

We investigate the structures of crossed products of the Cuntz algebra ${\mathcal O}_\infty$ by quasi-free actions of abelian groups. We completely determine their ideal structures and compute the strong Connes spectra and K-groups.

In this paper, we investigate the topological full groups arising from the Cuntz and Cuntz-Toeplitz algebras and their crossed products with the Cartan subalgebras of Cuntz and Cuntz-Toeplitz algebras. We study the normal subgroups and…

To any continuous eigenvalue of a Cantor minimal system $(X,\,T)$, we associate an element of the dimension group $K^0(X,\,T)$ associated to $(X,\,T)$. We introduce and study the concept of irrational miscibility of a dimension group. The…

We generalize the notion of isoperimetric profiles of finitely generated groups to their actions by measuring the boundary of finite subgraphings of the orbit graphing. We prove that like the classical isoperimetric profiles for groups,…

For $p \in [1, \infty),$ we define and study full and reduced crossed products of algebras of operators on $\sigma$-finite $L^p$ spaces by isometric actions of second countable locally compact groups. We give universal properties for both…

Motivated by the interplay between quadratic algebras, noncommutative geometry, and operator theory, we introduce the notion of quadratic subproduct systems of Hilbert spaces. Specifically, we study the subproduct systems induced by a…

We unite elements of category theory, K-theory, and geometric group theory, by defining a class of groups called $k$-cube groups, which act freely and transitively on the product of $k$ trees, for arbitrary $k$. The quotient of this action…

We provide the first examples of finitely generated simple groups that are amenable (and infinite). This follows from a general existence result on invariant states for piecewise-translations of the integers. The states are obtained by…

In this paper we generalize Kingman's sub-additive ergodic theorem to a large class of infinite countable discrete amenable group actions.

Each topological group $G$ admits a unique universal minimal dynamical system $(M(G),G)$. When $G$ is a non-compact locally compact group the phase space $M(G)$ of this universal system is non-metrizable. There are however topological…

Extending the work of Cuntz and Vershik, we develop a general notion of independence for commuting group endomorphisms. Based on this concept, we initiate the study of irreversible algebraic dynamical systems, which can be thought of as…

We prove that the unitary equivalence classes of extensions of C*_r(G) by any sigma-unital stable C"-algebra, taken modulo extensions which split via an asymptotic homomorphism, form a group which can be calculated from the universal…

Given any strong orbit equivalence class of minimal Cantor systems and any cardinal number that is finite, countable, or the continuum, we show that there exists a minimal subshift within the given class whose number of asymptotic…

Inspired by topological Wiener-Wintner theorems we study the mean ergodicity of amenable semigroups of Markov operators on $C(K)$ and show the connection to the convergence of strong and weak ergodic nets. The results are then used to…

We characterize the simplicity of Pimsner algebras for non-proper C*-correspondences. With the aid of this criterion, we give a systematic strategy to produce outer actions of unitary tensor categories on Kirchberg algebras. In particular,…

A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…
