A topological space $Y$ has the property (B) of Banakh if there is a countable family $\{A_n:n\in \mathbb{N}\}$ of closed nowhere dense subsets of $Y$ absorbing all compact subsets of $Y$. In this note we show that the space $C_p(X)$ of…

For $p\in [1,\infty)$ we study representations of a locally compact group $G$ on $L^p$-spaces and $QSL^p$-spaces. The universal completions $F^p(G)$ and $F^p_{\mathrm{QS}}(G)$ of $L^1(G)$ with respect to these classes of representations…

We prove the Congruence Subgroup Property for two families of subgroups of Mapping Class Groups of finite-type surfaces. The first one is related to nilpotent quotients of the fundamental group and Johnson filtration, and along the way we…

Let F_o be a non-archimedean locally compact field of residual characteristic not 2. Let G be a classical group over F_o (with no quaternionic algebra involved) which is not of type A_n for n>1. Let b be an element of the Lie algebra g of G…

Recently Akhmedov introduced a property of finitely generated groups called the Traveller Salesman Property (TSP). It was shown by Thurston that TSP implies non-amenability. Akhmedov conjectured that R. Thompson's group $F$ has TSP. The aim…

We introduce a finiteness property for braided fusion categories, describe a conjecture that would characterize categories possessing this, and verify the conjecture in a number of important cases. In particular we say a category has F if…

Three philosophical principles are often quoted in connection with Leibniz: "objects sharing the same properties are the same object" (Identity of indiscernibles), "everything can possibly exist, unless it yields contradiction" (Possibility…

We show that for any non--elementary hyperbolic group $H$ and any finitely presented group $Q$, there exists a short exact sequence $1\to N\to G\to Q\to 1$, where $G$ is a hyperbolic group and $N$ is a quotient group of $H$. As an…

We introduce the notion of the $k$-closure of a group of automorphisms of a locally finite tree, and give several examples of the construction. We show that the $k$-closure satisfies a new property of automorphism groups of trees that…

We construct a sequence of simple non-discrete totally disconnected locally compact (tdlc) groups separated by finiteness properties; that is, for every positive integer $n$ there exists a simple non-discrete tdlc group that is of type…

In his article "A discrete form of the theorem that each field endomorphism of $\mathbb{R}$ ($\mathbb{Q}_p$) is the identity", Tyszka introduce a logical property which is equivalent to algebraicity in $\mathbb{R}$ and in $\mathbb{Q}_p$.…

We prove some general results about quasi-actions on trees and define Property (QFA), which is analogous to Serre's Property (FA), but in the coarse setting. This property is shown to hold for a class of groups, including $SL(n,\Z)$ for…

In this paper, we provide several instances in which interesting approximation and stability properties are inherited by quotients with respect to finitely generated normal subgroups or, more strongly, normal subgroups with Kazhdan's…

The congruence subgroup property is established for the modular representations associated to any modular tensor category. This result is used to prove that the kernel of the representation of the modular group on the conformal blocks of…

We define the vector-valued, matrix-weighted function spaces $\dot{F}^{\alpha q}_p(W)$ (homogeneous) and $F^{\alpha q}_p(W)$ (inhomogeneous) on $\mathbb{R}^n$, for $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, $0<p<\infty$, $0<q \leq \infty$, with the matrix…

We establish vanishing results for limits of characters in various discrete groups, most notably irreducible lattices in higher rank semisimple Lie groups. As an application, we show that any sequence of finite-dimensional representations…

We provide a systematic and in-depth study of compact group actions with the Rokhlin property. It is show that the Rokhlin property is generic in some cases of interest; the case of totally disconnected groups being the most satisfactory…

We prove that a discrete quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ has the approximation property if and only if a Fej\'{e}r-type representation holds for its $C^*$-algebraic or von Neumann algebraic crossed products. As applications, we extend several…

We study the dynamics of the group of isometries of $L_p$-spaces. In particular, we study the canonical actions of these groups on the space of $\delta$-isometric embeddings of finite dimensional subspaces of $L_p(0,1)$ into itself, and we…

Given Banach spaces E and F, we denote by ${\mathcal P}(^k!E,F)$ the space of all k-homogeneous (continuous) polynomials from E into F, and by ${\mathcal P}_{wb}(^k!E,F)$ the subspace of polynomials which are weak-to-norm continuous on…
