Our monograph presents the foundations of the theory of groups and semigroups acting isometrically on Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces. Our work unifies and extends a long list of results by many authors. We make it a point to avoid any…

We characterise contractivity, boundedness and polynomial boundedness for a C_0-semigroup on a Banach space in terms of its cogenerator V (or the Cayley transform of the generator) or its resolvent. In particular, we extend results of…

Many authors have studied the dynamics of hyperbolic transcendental entire functions; these are those for which the postsingular set is a compact subset of the Fatou set. Equivalenty, they are characterized as being expanding.…

We study semigroups of convex monotone operators on spaces of continuous functions and their behaviour with respect to $\Gamma$-convergence. In contrast to the linear theory, the domain of the generator is, in general, not invariant under…

Under suitable conditions on a family $(I(t))_{t\ge 0}$ of Lipschitz mappings on a complete metric space, we show that up to a subsequence the strong limit $S(t):=\lim_{n\to\infty}(I(t 2^{-n}))^{2^n}$ exists for all dyadic time points $t$,…

In this paper, we study rigidity of polynomials of arbitrary degree in the presence of neutral dynamics. Specifically, we focus on {non-renormalizable} (in the sense of Douady and Hubbard) complex polynomials of degree $d \geqslant 2$ that…

Let $P$ be a generalized laplacian on $R^{2n+1}$. It is known that $P$ is the generating functional of semigroups of measures $\mu_{t}$ on the Heisenberg group $H^{n}$ and $\nu_{t}$ on the Abelian group $R^{2n+1}$. Under some smoothness and…

We study rational functions satisfying summability conditions - a family of weak conditions on the expansion along the critical orbits. Assuming their appropriate versions, we derive many nice properties: There exists a unique, ergodic, and…

For a sequence of uniformly bounded, degenerate semigroups on a Hilbert space, we compare various types of convergences to a limit semigroup. Among others, we show that convergence of the semigroups, or of the resolvents of the generators,…

We study properties of the semigroup $(e^{-tH})_{t\ge 0}$ on the space $L^ 2(\Gamma_X,\pi)$, where $\Gamma_X$ is the configuration space over a locally compact second countable Hausdorff topological space $X$, $\pi$ is a Poisson measure on…

It is known that a $C_0$-semigroup of Hilbert space operators is $m$-isometric if and only if its generator satisfies a certain condition, which we choose to call $m$-skew-symmetry. This paper contains two main results: We provide a…

In order to investigate the relationship between weak amenability and the Haagerup property for groups, we introduce the weak Haagerup property, and we prove that having this approximation property is equivalent to the existence of a…

In this paper we establish a rigidity property of holomorphic generators by using their local behavior at a boundary point $\tau$ of the open unit disk $\Delta$. Namely, if $f\in\mathrm{Hol}(\Delta,\mathbb{C})$ is the generator of a…

We prove that for every semigroup of Schwarz maps on the von~Neumann algebra of all bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space which has a subinvariant faithful normal state there exists an associated semigroup of contractions on the space…

We prove the existence of Cantor Julia sets with Hausdorff dimension two. In particular, such examples can be found in cubic polynomials. The proof is based on the characterization of the parameter spaces and dynamical planes of cubic…

Let $P \subset \mathbb{R}^{d}$ be a closed convex cone. Assume that $P$ is pointed, i.e. the intersection $P \cap -P=\{0\}$ and $P$ is spanning, i.e. $P-P=\mathbb{R}^{d}$. Denote the interior of $P$ by $\Omega$. Let $E$ be a product system…

For every finite generating set on the integer Heisenberg group H(Z), Pansu showed that the word metric has the large-scale structure of a Carnot-Caratheodory Finsler metric on the real Heisenberg group H(R). We study the properties of…
