Working in the framework of Borel reducibility, we study various notions of embeddability between groups. We prove that the embeddability between countable groups, the topological embeddability between (discrete) Polish groups, and the…
We extend the result of Nadel describing the relationship between approximations of canonical Scott sentences and admissible sets to the general case of orbit equivalence relations induced on an arbitrary Polish space by a Polish group…
We define and study the notion of \emph{ample metric generics} for a Polish topological group, which is a weakening of the notion of ample generics introduced by Kechris and Rosendal in \cite{Kechris-Rosendal:Turbulence}. Our work is based…
The motivation of this article is to introduce a kind of orbit equivalence relations which can well describe structures and properties of Polish groups from the perspective of Borel reducibility. Given a Polish group $G$, let $E(G)$ be the…
A variation of the Scott analysis of countable structures is applied to actions of non-Archimedean TSI Polish groups acting continuously on a Polish spaces. We give results on the potential Borel complexity spectrum of such groups, and…
We give a complete characterization of the graph products of cyclic groups admitting a Polish group topology, and show that they are all realizable as the group of automorphisms of a countable structure. In particular, we characterize the…
We prove that there exists a countable metrizable topological group $G$ such that every countable metrizable group is isomorphic to a quotient of $G$. The completion $H$ of $G$ is a Polish group such that every Polish group is isomorphic to…
A Polish group $G$ has the generic point property if any minimal $G$-flow admits a comeager orbit, or equivalently if the universal minimal flow (UMF) does. The class $\mathsf{GPP}$ of such Polish groups is a proper extension of the class…
For each ordinal $\alpha<\omega_1$, we introduce the class of $\alpha$-balanced Polish groups. These classes form a hierarchy that completely stratifies the space between the class of Polish groups admitting a two-side-invariant metric…
A Polish group is said to be locally Roelcke precompact if there is a neighborhood of the identity element that is totally bounded in the Roelcke (or lower) group uniformity. These form a subclass of the locally bounded groups, while…
We consider a short exact sequence $1\to H\to G\to K\to 1$ of Polish groups and consider what can be deduced about the dynamics of $G$ given information about the dynamics of $H$ and $K$. We prove that if the respective universal minimal…
Sorin Popa initiated the study of Polish groups which are embeddable into the unitary group of a separable finite von Neumann algebra. Such groups are called of finite type. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for Polish groups to…
We prove that if two topologically free and entropy regular actions of countable sofic groups on compact metrizable spaces are continuously orbit equivalent, and each group either (i) contains a w-normal amenable subgroup which is neither…
A Polish group is surjectively universal if it can be continuously homomorphically mapped onto every Polish group. Making use of a type of new metrics on free groups \cite{DG}, we prove the existence of surjectively universal Polish groups,…
We study Borel equivalence relations equipped with a uniformly Borel family of Polish topologies on each equivalence class, and more generally, standard Borel groupoids equipped with such a family of topologies on each connected component.…
We show that for every countable group, any sequence of approximate homomorphisms with values in permutations can be realized as the restriction of a sofic approximation of an orbit equivalence relation. Moreover, this orbit equivalence…
A weakly continuous near-action of a Polish group $G$ on a standard Lebesgue measure space $(X,\mu)$ is whirly if for every $A\subseteq X$ of strictly positive measure and every neighbourhood $V$ of identity in $G$ the set $VA$ has full…
We show that the strong operator topology, the weak operator topology and the compact-open topology agree on the space of unitary operators of a infinite dimensional separable Hilbert space. Moreover, we show that the unitary group endowed…
We prove an almost continuous version of Dye's theorem: any two non-atomic probability measure preserving homeomorphisms of Polish spaces are almost continuously orbit equivalent. More precisely they are orbit equivalent by a map which is…
In this paper we consider non-archimedean abelian Polish groups whose orbit equivalence relations are all Borel. Such groups are called tame. We show that a non-archimedean abelian Polish group is tame if and only if it does not involve…
