Let $G$ be the symplectic group $Sp_4$ over a non Archimedean local field of any characteristic. It is proved in this paper that for $p\in[1,4/3)\cup (4,\infty]$ neither the group $G$ nor its lattices have the property of approximation by…

We define a property for restricted Lie algebras in terms of cohomological support and tensor-triangular geometry of their categories of representations. By Tannakian reconstruction, the different symmetric tensor category structures on the…

We give several simple and easy complements to our recent paper on $C^*$-algebras with the lifting property (LP in short). In particular we observe that the local lifting property (LLP in short) associated to the class of max-contractions…

This paper discusses `geometric property (T)'. This is a property of metric spaces introduced in earlier work of the authors for its applications to K-theory. Geometric property (T) is a strong form of `expansion property': in particular…

The Local Lifting Property (LLP) is a localized version of projectivity for completely positive maps between $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras. Outside of the nuclear case, very few $\mathrm{C}^*$-algebras are known to have the LLP. In this article,…

Let G be a Lie group over a local field of positive characteristic which admits a contractive automorphism f (i.e., the forward iterates f^n(x) of each group element x converge to the neutral element 1). We show that then G is a torsion…

For a locally compact group $G$, let $A^n(G)$ denote the multidimensional Fourier algebra given by $ \otimes_{n}^{eh} A(G).$ This work explores the approximation identity and operator amenability of the algebra $A^n(G)$. Further, we study…

Using a m\'elange of techniques at the rich intersection of deformation/rigidity theory, finite index subfactor theory, and geometric group theory, we prove the existence of a continuum of property (T) factors that are pairwise non-stably…

A locally compact groupoid is said to have the weak containment property if its full $C^*$-algebra coincides with its reduced one. This property is strictly weaker than amenability and is known to be equivalent to amenability for…

For an arbitrary discrete probability-measure-preserving groupoid $G$, we provide a characterization of property (T) for $G$ in terms of the groupoid von Neumann algebra $L(G)$. More generally, we obtain a characterization of relative…

We develop a new method, based on non-vanishing of second cohomology groups, for proving the failure of lifting properties for full C$^*$-algebras of countable groups with (relative) property (T). We derive that the full C$^*$-algebras of…

Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact groups and consider their associate spaces of almost periodic functions $AP(G)$ and $AP(H)$. We investigate the continuous group homomorphisms induced by isometries of $AP(G)$ into $AP(H)$. Among others,…

In this paper, we examine Lie group actions on moduli spaces (sets themselves built as quotients by group actions) and their fixed points. We show that when the Lie group is compact and connected, we obtain a linear constraint. This…

A weakly complete vector space over $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{K}=\mathbb{C}$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{K}^X$ for some set $X$ algebraically and topologically. The significance of this type of topological vector spaces is…

The class of elementary totally disconnected groups is the smallest class of totally disconnected, locally compact, second countable groups which contains all discrete countable groups, all metrizable pro-finite groups, and is closed under…

We define for discrete finitely presented groups a new property related to their asymptotic representations. Namely we say that a groups has the property AGA if every almost representation generates an asymptotic representation. We give…

Let $G$ be a connected reductive group acting on a complex vector space $V$ and projective space ${\mathbb P}V$. Let $x\in V$ and ${\cal H}\subseteq {\cal G}$ be the Lie algebra of its stabilizer. Our objective is to understand points…

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 present a wide class of reflexive, precompact, non-compact, Abelian topological groups $G$ determined by three requirements. They must have the Baire property, satisfy the \textit{open refinement condition}, and contain no infinite…

We prove that in a countable theory T fully stable over a predicate P, any complete set A has the existence property. This means that A can be extended to a model of T without changing the P-part. In particular, T has the Gaifman property:…
