Suzuki recently gave constructions of non-discrete examples of locally compact C*-simple groups and Raum showed C*-simplicity of the relative profinite completions of the Baumslag-Solitar groups by using Suzuki's results. We extend this…

We define the notion of almost invariant conditionally negative definite kernel and use it to give a characterisation of groups admitting a proper uniformly Lipschitz affine action on a subspace of an $L^1$ space. We show that this…

Main interest of the present paper is to investigate the almost {\alpha}-cosymplectic manifolds for which the characteristic vector field of the almost {\alpha}-cosymplectic structure satisfies a specific ({\kappa},{\mu},{\nu})-nullity…

A closed subspace of a Banach space $\cX$ is almost-invariant for a collection $\cS$ of bounded linear operators on $\cX$ if for each $T \in \cS$ there exists a finite-dimensional subspace $\cF_T$ of $\cX$ such that $T \cY \subseteq \cY +…

We prove that the isomorphism problem is decidable for generalized Baumslag-Solitar (GBS) groups with one quasi-conjugacy class and full support gaps. In order to do so we introduce a family of invariants that fully characterize the…

Let $n, k \geq 3$. In this paper, we analyse the quotient group $B\_n/\Gamma\_k(P\_n)$ of the Artin braid group $B\_n$ by the subgroup $\Gamma\_k(P\_n)$ belonging to the lower central series of the Artin pure braid group $P\_n$. We prove…

In connection to two recent publications of ours in Arch. Math. Basel (2021) and Acta Math. Hung. (2022), respectively, and in regard to the results obtained in Arch. Math. Basel (2012), we have the motivation to study the near property of…

We develop the theory of quasi--invariant (resp. strongly quasi--invariant) states under the action of a group $G$ of normal $*$--automorphisms of a $*$--algebra (or von Neumann alegbra) $\mathcal{A}$. We prove that these states are…

We find conditions which ensure that the topological complexity of a closed manifold $M$ with abelian fundamental group is nonmaximal, and see through examples that our conditions are sharp. This generalizes results of Costa and Farber on…

We continue our study of ends of non-compact manifolds, with a focus on the inward tameness condition. For manifolds with compact boundary, inward tameness, has significant implications. For example, such manifolds have stable homology at…

In this paper, we present some necessary and sufficient conditions for semi-compact operators being almost L-weakly compact (resp. almost M-weakly compact) and the converse. Mainly, we prove that if $X$ is a nonzero Banach space, then every…

We consider the problem of the semidefinite representation of a class of non-compact basic semialgebraic sets. We introduce the conditions of pointedness and closedness at infinity of a semialgebraic set and show that under these conditions…

If matrices almost satisfying a group relation are close to matrices exactly satisfying the relation, then we say that a group is matricially stable. Here "almost" and "close" are in terms of the Hilbert-Schmidt norm. Using tracial 2-norm…

We first extend Cheeger-Colding Almost Splitting Theorem to smooth metric measure spaces. Arguments utilizing this extension of the Almost Splitting Theorem show that if a smooth metric measure space has almost nonnegative Bakry-Emery Ricci…

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 prove that hyperbolic groups are weakly amenable. This partially extends the result of Cowling and Haagerup showing that lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank one are weakly amenable. We take a combinatorial approach in the spirit…

Weak sharp minimality is a notion emerged in optimization, whose utility is largeley recognized in the convergence analysis of algorithms for solving extremum problems as well as in the study of the perturbation behaviour of such problems.…

We analyze the sum-of-squares rank of unweighted instances of the Minimum Knapsack (MK) problem, i.e., minimization of $\sum_{i=1}^n x_i$ for 0/1 variables under the constraint $\sum_{i=1}^n x_i \geq q$, with $q \in \mathbb{R}$. Such…

We introduce notions of a constraint metric approximation and of a constraint stability of a metric approximation. This is done in the language of group equations with coefficients. We give an example of a group which is not constraintly…

Let X be a homogeneous space of a quasi-trivial k-group G, with geometric stabilizer H, over a number field k. We prove that under certain conditions on the character group of H, certain algebraic Brauer-Manin obstructions to the Hasse…
