A countable discrete group $\Gamma$ is said to be Frobenius stable if a function from the group that is "almost multiplicative" in the point Frobenius norm topology is "close" to a genuine unitary representation in the same topology. The…

Let $\Gamma \subset SL(2, \mathbb Z)$ be a finite subgroup acting on the irrational rotational algebra $\mathcal A_\theta$ via the restriction of the canonical action of $SL(2,\mathbb Z)$. Consider the crossed product algebra $\mathcal…

This paper concerns the non-commutative analog of the Normal Subgroup Theorem for certain groups. Inspired by Kalantar-Panagopoulos, we show that all $\Gamma$-invariant subalgebras of $L\Gamma$ and $C^*_r(\Gamma)$ are ($\Gamma$-)…

We introduce new formulations of aperiodicity and cofinality for finitely aligned higher-rank graphs \Lambda, and prove that C*(\Lambda) is simple if and only if \Lambda is aperiodic and cofinal. The main advantage of our versions of…

We study the $C^*$-algebra $C^*(\kappa)$ generated by the Koopman representation $\kappa=\kappa^\mu$ of a locally compact groupoid $G$ acting on a measure space $(X,\mu)$, where $\mu$ is quasi-invariant for the action. We interpret $\kappa$…

We study Measurable Imbeddability between groups, which is an order-like generalization of Measure Equivalence that allows the imbedded group to have an infinite measure fundamental domain. We prove if $\Lambda_1$ measurably imbeds into…

We prove that there exist finitely presented, residually finite groups that are profinitely rigid in the class of all finitely presented groups but not in the class of all finitely generated groups. These groups are of the form $\Gamma…

In this paper we explore a generic notion of superrigidity for von Neumann algebras $L(G)$ and reduced $C^*$-algebras $C^*_r(G)$ associated with countable discrete groups $G$. This allows us to classify these algebras for various new…

We introduce P-graphs, which are generalisations of directed graphs in which paths have a degree in a semigroup P rather than a length in N. We focus on semigroups P arising as part of a quasi-lattice ordered group (G,P) in the sense of…

Let $B$ be a separable $C^*$-algebra, let $\Gamma$ be a discrete countable group, let $\alpha: \Gamma \to \text{Aut}(B)$ be an action, and let $A$ be an invariant subalgebra. We find certain freeness conditions which guarantee that any…

A cocycle category H(X,Y) is defined for objects X and Y in a model category, and it is shown that the set of morphisms [X,Y] is isomorphic to the set of path components of H(X,Y) provided the ambient model category is right proper and…

For a polycyclic group $\Lambda$, $\text{rank} (\Lambda )$ is defined as the number of $\mathbb{Z}$ factors in a polycyclic decomposition of $\Lambda$. For a finitely generated group $G$, $\text{rank} (G)$ is defined as the infimum of $…

In this paper, we investigate *-homomorphisms between C*-algebras associated to \'etale groupoids. First, we prove that such a *-homomorphism can be described by closed invariant subsets, groupoid homomorphisms and cocycles under some…

We introduce a Hopf algebroid associated to a proper Lie group action on a smooth manifold. We prove that the cyclic cohomology of this Hopf algebroid is equal to the de Rham cohomology of invariant differential forms. When the action is…

We show that if a H\"{o}lder continuous linear cocycle over a hyperbolic system is measurably conjugate to a cocycle taking values in a unipotent group, then the cocycle is H\"older continuously conjugate to a cocycle taking values in a…

For a discrete group $G$ and the compact space Sub$_G$ of (closed) subgroups of $G$ endowed with the Chabauty topology, we study the dynamics of actions of automorphisms of $G$ on Sub$_G$ in terms of distality and expansivity. We also study…

Given an action of a Lie group on a smooth manifold, we discuss the induced action on the Hochschild cohomology of smooth functions, and notions of invariance on this space. Depending on whether one considers invariance of cochains or…

Let $X$ be a Hadamard manifold, and $\Gamma$ a non-elementary discrete group of isometries of $X$ which contains a rank one isometry. We relate the ergodic theory of the geodesic flow of the quotient orbifold $M=X/\Gamma$ to the behavior of…

Under a suitable notion of equivalence of integral densities we prove a $\Gamma$-closure theorem for integral functionals: The limit of a sequence of $\Gamma$-convergent families of such functionals is again a $\Gamma$-convergent family.…

We consider $\text{\rm II}_1$ factors $L_\mu(G)$ arising from 2-cocyles $\mu \in \text{\rm H}^2(G,\Bbb T)$ on groups $G$ containing infinite normal subgroups $H \subset G$ with the relative property $\text{\rm(T)}$ (i.e. $G$ {\it w-rigid}).…
