We consider the {\it concentration functions problem} for discrete quantum groups; we prove that if $\mathbb{G}$ is a discrete quantum group, and $\mu$ is an irreducible state in $l^1(\mathbb{G})$, then the convolution powers $\mu^n$,…

Let a group $G$ act properly discontinuously and cocompactly on a locally compact space $X$. A Hausdorff compact space $Z$ that contains $X$ as an open subspace has the perspectivity property if the action $G\curvearrowright X$ extends to…

We prove universal lower bounds for discrepancies (i.e. sizes of spectral gaps of averaging operators) of measure-preserving actions of a locally compact group on probability spaces. For example, a locally compact Hausdorff unimodular group…

In this paper we characterize spaces of $L^\infty$-functions on a compact Hausdorff space that are invariant under a transitive and continuous group action. This work generalizes the author's 2021 results concerning the specific case of…

Let $X$ be a zero-dimensional locally compact Hausdorff space not necessarily metric and $G$ a compactly generated topological group not necessarily abelian or countable. We define recurrence at a point for any continuous action of $G$ on…

In this paper we characterize spaces of continuous and $L^p$-functions on a compact Hausdorff space that are invariant under a transitive and continuous group action. This work generalizes Nagel and Rudin's 1976 results concerning unitarily…

Let G be a locally compact Hausdorff group in which every element is of finite order, and let P(G) denote the class of all regular probability measures on G. In this note, it is observed that a characterization of algebraically regular…

We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…

We provide a tool for studying properly discontinuous actions of non-compact groups on locally compact, connected and paracompact spaces, by embedding such an action in a suitable zero-dimensional compactification of the underlying space…

The paper introduces a general method to construct conformal measures for a local homeomorphism on a locally compact non-compact Hausdorff space, subject to mild irreducibility-like conditions. Among others the method is used to give…

In this paper we investigate Hartman functions on a topological group $G$. Recall that $(\iota, C)$ is a group compactification of $G$ if $C$ is a compact group, $\iota: G\to C$ is a continuous group homomorphism and $\iota(G)$ is dense in…

Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact sigma-compact…

We study algebraic properties on a group G such that if the discrete group G has these properties then every locally compact shift continuous topology on G with adjoined zero is either compact, or discrete. We introduce electorally flexible…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space and $\mu$ a Borel probability on $X$. For each $N\geq 1$ let $d^N_\infty$ be the $\ell_\infty$-product on $X^N$ of copies of $d$, and consider $1$-Lipschitz functions $X^N\to\mathbb{R}$ for…

We study a notion of residual finiteness for continuous actions of discrete groups on compact Hausdorff spaces and how it relates to the existence of norm microstates for the reduced crossed product. Our main result asserts that an action…

Using Gottschalk's notion\,---\,weakly locally almost periodic point, we show in this paper that if $f\colon X\rightarrow X$ is a minimal continuous transformation of a compact Hausdorff space $X$ to itself, then for all entourage…

A locally compact groupoid is said to be exact if its associated reduced crossed product functor is exact. In this paper, we establish some permanence properties of exactness, including generalizations of some known results for exact…

The property of measure concentration is that an arbitrary 1-Lipschitz function $f:X\to \mathbb{R}$ on an mm-space $X$ is almost close to a constant function. In this paper, we prove that if such a concentration phenomenon arise, then any…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finitely generated group, and let $\mu$ be a nondegenerate, finitely supported probability measure on $\Gamma$. We show that every co-compact $\Gamma$ action on a locally compact Hausdorff space admits a nonzero…

We show that for any metric probability space $(M,d,\mu)$ with a subgaussian constant $\sigma^2(\mu)$ and any set $A \subset M$ we have $\sigma^2(\mu_A) \leq c \log\left(e/\mu(A)\right)\,\sigma^2(\mu)$, where $\mu_A$ is a restriction of…
