Let $S$ be an inverse semigroup with the set of idempotents $E$. We prove that the semigroup algebra $\ell^{1}(S)$ is always $2n$-weakly module amenable as an $\ell^{1}(E)$-module, for any $n\in \mathbb{N}$, where $E$ acts on $S$ trivially…

We study weak amenability of central Beurling algebras $ZL^1(G,\omega)$. The investigation is a natural extension of the known work on the commutative Beurling algebra $L^1(G,\omega)$. For [FC]$^-$ groups we establish a necessary condition…

Let $G$ be a subgroup of a discrete (countable) group $\Gamma$. We introduce a notion of relative inner amenability of $G$ in $\Gamma$, we prove some equivalent conditions and provide examples as well as counter-examples. We also discuss…

We answer an open question of Grigorchuk and Zuk about amenability using random walks. Our results separate the class of amenable groups from the closure of subexponentially growing groups under the operations of group extension and direct…

We classify and construct all irreducible positive energy representations of the loop group of a compact, connected and simple Lie group and show that they admit an intertwining action of Diff(S^{1}).

There has been substantial investigation in recent years of subdirect products of limit groups and their finite presentability and homological finiteness properties. To contrast the results obtained for limit groups, Baumslag, Bridson, Holt…

This thesis aims to serve as an introduction to the theory of quasitilings for amenable groups. In order to showcase the power of this theory, we focus on the study of the Sofic L\"uck Approximation Conjecture, which can be proven for…

In this note, we prove that a semigroup $S$ is left amenable if and only if every two nonzero elements of $\ell^1_+(S)$ have a common nonzero right multiple, where $\ell^1_+(S)$ is the positive part of the Banach algebra $\ell^1(S)$, or…

We classify outer actions (or $\mathscr{G}$-kernels) of discrete amenable groupoids on injective factors. Our method based on unified approach for classification of discrete amenable groups actions, and cohomology reduction theorem of…

We introduce a new combinatorial condition that characterises the amenability for locally compact groups. Our condition is weaker than the well-known F{\o}lner's conditions, and so is potentially useful as a criteria to show the amenability…

Whyte showed that any quasi-isometry between non-amenable groups is a bounded distance from a bijection. In contrast this paper shows that for amenable groups, inclusion of a proper subgroup of finite index is never a bounded distance from…

We introduce the notion of tracial amenability for actions of discrete groups on unital, tracial C$^*$-algebras, as a weakening of amenability where all the relevant approximations are done in the uniform trace norm. We characterize tracial…

We construct approximately inner actions of discrete amenable groups on strongly amenable subfactors of type II_1 with given invariants, and obtain classification results under some conditions. We also study the lifting of the relative \chi…

Let $A$ be a Banach algebra and $\phi\in \Delta(A)\cup\{0\}$. We say that $A$ is $\Delta$-weak $\phi$-amenable if there exists an $m\in A^{**}$ such that $m(\phi)=0$ and $m(\psi.a)=\psi(a)$ for each $\psi\in \Delta(A)$ and $a\in…

We show that if $H \leq G$ is a closed amenable and cocompact subgroup of a unimodular locally compact group, then the reduced group C*-algebra of $G$ is not simple. Equivalently, there are unitary representations of $G$ that are weakly…

An argument of A.Borel shows that every compact connected Lie group is homeomorphic to the Cartesian product of its derived subgroup and a torus. We prove a parallel result for definably compact definably connected groups definable in an…

Let $\mathbb K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let $V$ be a module over the polynomial ring $\mathbb K[x,y]$. The actions of $x$ and $y$ determine linear operators $P$ and $Q$ on $V$ as a vector space over $\mathbb…

We show that the unrestricted wreath product of a sofic group by an amenable group is sofic. We use this result to present an alternative proof of the known fact that any group extension with sofic kernel and amenable quotient is again a…

We exhibit examples of actions of countable discrete groups on both simple and non-simple nuclear stably finite C*-algebras that are tracially amenable but not amenable. We furthermore obtain that, under the additional assumption of strict…

Let $M$ be a cancellative monoid. It is known~\cite{Ta54} that if $M$ is left amenable then the monoid ring $K[M]$ satisfies Ore condition, that is, there exist nontrivial common right multiples for the elements of this ring.…
