The paper concerns algebras of almost periodic pseudodifferential operators on $\mathbb R^d$ with symbols in H\"ormander classes. We study three representations of such algebras, one of which was introduced by Coburn, Moyer and Singer and…

We initiate a systematic investigation of group actions on compact medain algebras via the corresponding dynamics on their spaces of measures. We show that a probability measure which is invariant under a natural push forward operation must…

Consider a smooth, locally free, codimension-one action of a higher-rank, simple, split Lie group $G$ on a closed manifold $M$. Let $P$ be a minimal parabolic subgroup of $G$. If the action admits a $P$-invariant probability measure that is…

We study algorithmic randomness notions via effective versions of almost-everywhere theorems from analysis and ergodic theory. The effectivization is in terms of objects described by a computably enumerable set, such as lower semicomputable…

In this paper, we study almost finiteness and almost finiteness in measure of non-free actions. Let $\alpha:G\curvearrowright X$ be a minimal action of a locally finite-by-virtually $\mathbb{Z}$ group $G$ on the Cantor set $X$. We prove…

Let G be a locally compact group, and let A(G) and B(G) denote its Fourier and Fourier-Stieltjes algebras. These algebras are dual objects of the group and measure algebras, L^1(G) and M(G), in a sense which generalizes the Pontryagin…

By benefit of Pesin's method to prove ergodicity with respect to Lebesgue measure for ordinary dynamical systems, we conclude ergodicity (resp. term-ergodicity) for some action semigroups with respect to volume measure (resp. quasi…

The article is devoted to the investigation of properties of quasi-invariant measures with values in non-Archimedean fields such as: convolutions of measures and functions; continuity of functions of measures; non-associative noncommutative…

We consider the infinite-dimensional Lie group $\mathfrak G$ which is the semidirect product of the group of compactly supported diffeomorphisms of a Riemannian manifold $X$ and the commutative multiplicative group of functions on $X$. The…

The paper offers a thorough study of multiorders and their applications to measure-preserving actions of countable amenable groups. By a~{\em multiorder} on a~countable group we mean any probability measure $\nu$ on the collection…

The title refers to the area of research which studies infinite groups using measure-theoretic tools, and studies the restrictions that group structure imposes on ergodic theory of their actions. The paper is a survey of recent developments…

We study amenability of affine algebras (based on the notion of almost-invariant finite-dimensional subspace), and apply it to algebras associated with finitely generated groups. We show that a group G is amenable if and only if its group…

Given a second-countable, locally compact group $G$, we consider amenable $G$-actions on separable, stable, nuclear $\mathrm{C}^\ast$-algebras that are isometrically shift-absorbing and tensorially absorb the trivial action on the Cuntz…

In math.RT/0302174 we developed a framework to study representations of groups of the form $G((t))$, where $G$ is an algebraic group over a local field $K$. The main feature of this theory is that natural representations of groups of this…

We introduce an algebraic invariant for aperiodic inclusions of probability measure preserving equivalence relations. We use this invariant to prove that every stable orbit equivalence between free pmp actions of direct products of…

We prove the following extension of Tits' simplicity theorem. Let $k$ be an infinite field, $G$ an algebraic group defined and quasi-simple over $k,$ and $G(k)$ the group of $k$-rational points of $G.$ Let $G(k)^+$ be the subgroup of $G(k)$…

In this paper, we study stable ergodicity of the action of groups of diffeomorphisms on smooth manifolds. Such actions are known to exist only on one-dimensional manifolds. The aim of this paper is to introduce a geometric method to…

We give a survey of recent classification results for crossed product von Neumann algebras arising from measure preserving group actions on probability spaces. This includes II_1 factors with uncountable fundamental groups and the…

Let $G$ be a compact group, let $\mathcal{B}$ be a unital C$^*$-algebra, and let $(\mathcal{A},G,\alpha)$ be a free C$^*$-dynamical system, in the sense of Ellwood, with fixed point algebra $\mathcal{B}$. We prove that…

We study the K-theory of actions of diagonalizable group schemes on noetherian regular separated algebraic spaces: our main result shows how to reconstruct the K-theory ring of such an action from the K-theory rings of the loci where the…
