We introduce a non commutative analog of the Bohr compactification. Starting from a general quantum group G we define a compact quantum group bG which has a universal property such as the universal property of the classical Bohr…
Let $T$ be a complete, model-complete, geometric dp-minimal $\mathcal{L}$-theory of topological fields of characteristic $0$ and let $T(\partial)$ be the theory of expansions of models of $T$ by a derivation $\partial$. We assume that…
The \emph{Bohr compactification} of an arbitrary topological group $G$ is defined as the group compactification $(bG,b)$ with the following universal property: for every continuous homomorphism $h$ from $G$ into a compact group $K$ there is…
We first give simplified and corrected accounts of some results in \cite{PiRCP} on compactifications of pseudofinite groups. For instance, we use a classical theorem of Turing \cite{Turing} to give a simplified proof that any definable…
For any topological group $G$ the dual object $\hat G$ is defined as the set of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of $G$ equipped with the Fell topology. If $G$ is compact, $\hat G$ is discrete, and we investigate…
We describe a class (called regular) of invariant generalized complex structures on a real semisimple Lie group G. The problem reduces to the description of admissible pairs (\gk, \omega), where \gk is an appropriate regular subalgebra of…
This paper provides a unifying framework for a range of categorical constructions characterised by universal mapping properties, within the realm of compactifications of discrete structures. Some classic examples fit within this broad…
We use the structure lattice, introduced in Part I, to undertake a systematic study of the class $\mathscr S$ consisting of compactly generated, topologically simple, totally disconnected locally compact groups that are non-discrete. Given…
We study actions of countable discrete groups which are amenable in the sense that there exists a mean on X which is invariant under the action of G. Assuming that G is nonamenable, we obtain structural results for the stabilizer subgroups…
We study projectivity in the category of $G$-flows and affine $G$-flows for Polish groups $G$. We also introduce the notion of \emph{proximally irreducible} extensions between affine $G$-flows. Using this we provide a characterization of…
We show that topological amenability of an action of a countable discrete group on a compact space is equivalent to the existence of an invariant mean for the action. We prove also that this is equivalent to vanishing of bounded cohomology…
A discrete subset $S$ of a topologically gyrogroup $G$ is called a {\it suitable set} for $G$ if $S\cup \{1\}$ is closed and the subgyrogroup generated by $S$ is dense in $G$, where $1$ is the identity element of $G$. In this paper, we…
We identify a canonical structure J associated to any first-order theory, the {\it space of definability patterns}. It generalizes the imaginary algebraic closure in a stable theory, and the hyperimaginary bounded closure in simple…
A topological space $G$ is said to be a {\it rectifiable space} provided that there are a surjective homeomorphism $\phi :G\times G\rightarrow G\times G$ and an element $e\in G$ such that $\pi_{1}\circ \phi =\pi_{1}$ and for every $x\in G$…
A definable type of a first-order theory is the same as a section (retraction) of the simplicial path space (decalage) of its space of types viewed as a simplicial topological space; as is well-known, in the category of simplicial sets such…
A topological group G is profinite if it is compact and totally disconnected. Equivalently, G is the inverse limit of a surjective system of finite groups carrying the discrete topology. We discuss how to represent a countably based…
The paper investigates two invariants for totally disconnected locally compact groups: the number of ends and the rational discrete cohomological dimension. For such a compactly generated group $G$ it is shown that its number of ends can be…
We study the $p$-adic algebraic groups $G$ from the definable topological-dynamical point of view. We consider the case that $M$ is an arbitrary $p$-adic closed field and $G$ an algebraic group over ${\mathbb Q}_p$ admitting an Iwasawa…
Separability is one of the most basic and important topological properties. In this paper, the separability in (strongly) topological gyrogroups is studied. It is proved that every first-countable left {\omega}-narrow strongly topological…
We study continuous bounded cohomology of totally disconnected locally compact groups with coefficients in a non-Archimedean valued field $K$. To capture the features of classical amenability that induce the vanishing of real bounded…
