In this note we show existence of bounded, transitive cocycles over a transitive action of a finitely generated group, and bounded, ergodic cocycles over an ergodic, probability preserving action of $\Bbb Z^d$.

We study lattice embeddings for the class of countable groups $\Gamma$ defined by the property that the largest amenable uniformly recurrent subgroup $A_\Gamma$ is continuous. When $A_\Gamma$ comes from an extremely proximal action and the…

Let $k = \mathbb{F}_p$ or $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (or finite extensions of these). Let $G$ be a $p$-valuable group, and form its completed group algebra $kG$. By analysing the conjugation action of $G$ on itself, we prove two structural results.…

Let $\Gamma$ be a sub-semigroup of $G=GL(d,\mathbb R),$ $d>1.$ We assume that the action of $\Gamma$ on $\R^d$ is strongly irreducible and that $\Gamma$ contains a proximal and expanding element. We describe contraction properties of the…

Let $\Gamma'<\Gamma$ be two discrete groups acting properly by isometries on a Gromov-hyperbolic space $X$. We prove that their critical exponents coincide if and only if $\Gamma'$ is co-amenable in $\Gamma$, under the assumption that the…

We introduce a graph-theoretical interpretation of an induced action of Aut$(\Gamma)$ in the discrete de Rham cohomology of a finite graph $\Gamma$. This action produces a splitting of Aut$(\Gamma)$ that depends on the cycles of $\Gamma$.…

A measure preserving action of a countably infinite group \Gamma is called totally ergodic if every infinite subgroup of \Gamma acts ergodically. For example, all mixing and mildly mixing actions are totally ergodic. This note shows that if…

We consider the tracial crossed product algebra $M=A\rtimes\Lambda$ arising from a trace preserving action $\sigma:\Lambda \curvearrowright A$ of a discrete group $\Lambda$ on a tracial von Neumann algebra $A$. For a unitary subgroup…

In this paper, we introduce a notion of a self-similar action of a group $G$ on a $k$-graph $\Lambda$, and associate it a universal C*-algebra $\O_{G,\Lambda}$. We prove that $\O_{G,\Lambda}$ can be realized as the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra of…

We provide a general criterion to deduce maximal amenability of von Neumann subalgebras $L\Lambda \subset L\Gamma$ arising from amenable subgroups $\Lambda$ of discrete countable groups $\Gamma$. The criterion is expressed in terms of…

This paper includes a series of structural results for von Neumann algebras arising from measure preserving actions by product groups on probability spaces. Expanding upon the methods used earlier by the first two authors \cite{CS}, we…

We propose a new approach to superrigidity phenomena and implement it for lattice representations and measurable cocycles with homeomorphisms of the circle as the target group. We are motivated by Ghys' theorem stating that any…

We present a simple approach to questions of topological orbit equivalence for actions of countable groups on topological and smooth manifolds. For example, for any action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a topological manifold where the…

Using Popa's deformation/rigidity theory, we investigate prime decompositions of von Neumann algebras of the form $L(\mathcal{R})$ for countable probability measure preserving equivalence relations $\mathcal{R}$. We show that…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group. We show that $\Gamma$ has the approximation property if and only if $\Gamma$ is exact and for any operator space $S \subseteq \K(H)$ we have $\Cu(\Gamma)^{\Gamma} \otimes S = (\Cu(\Gamma) \otimes…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite graph and let $A(\Gamma)$ be the corresponding right-angled Artin group. We characterize the Hamiltonicity of $\Gamma$ via the structure of the cohomology algebra of $A(\Gamma)$. In doing so, we define and develop a…

Given a locally finite graph $\Gamma$, an amenable subgroup $G$ of graph automorphisms acting freely and almost transitively on its vertices, and a $G$-invariant activity function $\lambda$, consider the free energy $f_G(\Gamma,\lambda)$ of…

For each group $G$ having an infinite normal subgroup with the relative property (T) (for instance $G = H \times K$ where $H$ is infinite with property (T) and $K$ is arbitrary), and any countable abelian group $\Lambda$ we construct free…

We have defined and established a theory of cofinite connectedness of a cofinite graph. Many of the properties of connectedness of topological spaces have analogs for cofinite connectedness. We have seen that if $G$ is a cofinite group and…

For a finite group $\Gamma$, acting on a finite group $G,$ we find necessary conditions for which the first $\Gamma_0$-equivariant Hochschild cohomology of the group algebra $kG$ is non-trivial, where $k$ is a field of characteristic $p$…
