Let $G$ be a countable group. We study left-invariant metrics on $G$ that are not necessarily proper, introducing the notion of a \emph{bornological metric}: a metric $\rho$ such that for every $C>0$ there exists $S_C>0$ with the property…

Let $G$ be a connected semisimple algebraic group of adjoint type over the field $\mathbb{C}$ of complex numbers and $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G.$ Let $F$ be an irreducible projective $B$-variety. Then consider the variety…

We study the complexity with respect to Borel reducibility of the relations of isometry and isometric embeddability between ultrametric Polish spaces for which a set $D$ of possible distances is fixed in advance. These are, respectively, an…

For any finitely generated group $G$, two complexity functions $\alpha_G$ and $\beta_G$ are defined to measure the maximal possible gap between the norm of an automorphism (respectively outer automorphism) of $G$ and the norm of its…

We give a simple and explicit proof that the free group $\mathbb{F}_2$ admits a measure equivalence embedding into any nonamenable locally compact second countable (lcsc) group $G$. We use this to prove that every nonamenable lcsc group $G$…

We prove a number of results about countable Borel equivalence relations with forcing constructions and arguments. These results reveal hidden regularity properties of Borel complete sections on certain orbits. As consequences they imply…

The Borel map takes a smooth function to its infinite jet of derivatives (at zero). We study the restriction of this map to ultradifferentiable classes of Beurling type in a very general setting which encompasses the classical…

In this paper we complete the characterization of Ext(G,Z) under Godel's axiom of constructibility for any torsion-free abelian group G . In particular, we prove in (V=L) that, for a singular cardinal nu of uncountable cofinality which is…

For a split semisimple Chevalley group scheme G with Lie algebra g over an arbitrary base scheme S, we consider the quotient of g by the adjoint action of G. We study in detail the structure of g over S. Given a maximal torus T with Lie…

We study a category of probability spaces and measure-preserving Markov kernels up to almost sure equality. This category contains, among its isomorphisms, mod-zero isomorphisms of probability spaces. It also gives an isomorphism between…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field, $\mathcal{X}$ be an infinite set (of indeterminates), and $\mathcal{G}$ be a group acting on $\mathcal{X}$. An ideal in the polynomial ring $\mathbb{K}[\mathcal{X}]$ is called equivariant if it is invariant…

It is well known that if $G$ is a countable amenable group and $G \curvearrowright (Y, \nu)$ factors onto $G \curvearrowright (X, \mu)$, then the entropy of the first action must be greater than or equal to the entropy of the second action.…

We prove a conjecture due to Baumgaertel and Lledo according to which for every compact group G one has Z(G)^ \cong C(G), where the `chain group' C(G) is the free abelian group (written multiplicatively) generated by the set G^ of…

We introduce a new type of examples of bounded degree acyclic Borel graphs and study their combinatorial properties in the context of descriptive combinatorics, using a generalization of the determinacy method of Marks. The motivation for…

We prove that the relation of bisimilarity between countable labelled transition systems is $\Sigma_1^1$-complete (hence not Borel), by reducing the set of non-wellorders over the natural numbers continuously to it. This has an impact on…

We prove a Borel version of the local lemma, i.e. we show that, under suitable assumptions, if the set of variables in the local lemma has a structure of a Borel space, then there exists a satisfying assignment which is a Borel function.…

Let $M$ be a locally symmetric irreducible closed manifold of dimension $\ge 3$. A result of Borel [Bo] combined with Mostow rigidity imply that there exists a finite group $G = G(M)$ such that any finite subgroup of $\text{Homeo}^+(M)$ is…

A graph G is (a:b)-colorable if there exists an assignment of b-element subsets of {1,...,a} to vertices of G such that sets assigned to adjacent vertices are disjoint. We first show that for every triangle-free planar graph G and a vertex…

For a finite connected graph $\mathcal{E}$ with set of edges $E$, a finite $E$-generated group $G$ is constructed such that the set of relations $p=1$ satisfied by $G$ (with $p$ a word over $E\cup E^{-1}$) is closed under deletion of…

Let $E$ be a countable Borel equivalence relation on the space $\mathcal{E}_{\infty}$ of all infinite partitions of the natural numbers. We show that $E$ coincides with equality below a Carlson-Simpson generic element of…
