A variety of behaviors of entropy functions of random walks on finitely generated groups is presented, showing that for any $\frac{1}{2}\leq \alpha\leq\beta\leq1$, there is a group $\Gamma$ with measure $\mu$ equidistributed on a finite…

Consider a smooth action $\mathbf G\times M \rightarrow M$ of a compact connected Lie group $\mathbf G$ on a connected manifold $M$. Assume the existence of a point of $M$ whose isotropy group has a single element (free point). Then we…

We show that given any subgroup F of R_+ which is either countable or belongs to a certain "large" class of uncountable subgroups, there exist continuously many free ergodic probability measure preserving actions \sigma_i of the free group…

We construct an efficient model for graphs of finitely generated subgroups of free groups. Using this we give a very short proof of Dicks's reformulation of the strengthened Hanna Neumann Conjecture as the Amalgamated Graph Conjecture. In…

A homogeneous family of subsets over a given set is one with a very ``rich'' automorphism group. We prove the existence of a bi-universal element in the class of homogeneous families over a given infinite set and give an explicit…

We define two actions of the infinite symmetric group on the set of words on positive integers, called the free and parking quasi-symmetrizing actions, whose invariants are respectively the elements of the Hopf algebras $\textbf{FQSym}^*$…

Let F be a field, G a finite group, and Map(G,F) the Hopf algebra of all set-theoretic maps G->F. If E is a finite field extension of F and G is its Galois group, the extension is Galois if and only if the canonical map resulting from…

We show that every isometric action on a Cantor set is conjugate to an inverse limit of actions on finite sets; and that every isometric action by a finitely generated amenable group is residually finite.

In this paper, we study the $C$-width of HNN extension of a group via its proper isomorphic subgroups and amalgamated free product of two groups via their proper isomorphic subgroups with respect to conjugation invariant generating set. We…

We prove new separability results about free groups. Namely, if $H_1, \ldots , H_k$ are infinite index, finitely generated subgroups of a non-abelian free group $F$, then there exists a homomorphism onto some alternating group $f:F…

We prove that if an ergodic action of a countable group on a probability space admits a generating partition having finite Shannon entropy then it admits a finite generating partition.

We give the first examples of (non-amenable group) amenable actions on stably finite simple C*-algebras. More precisely, we give such actions for any countable group in an explicit way. The main ingredients of our construction are the full…

It is shown that in various categories, including many consisting of maps or hypermaps, oriented or unoriented, of a given hyperbolic type, every countable group $A$ is isomorphic to the automorphism group of uncountably many non-isomorphic…

We will show that every element of a finitely generated abelian group is automorphically equivalent what we will define to be a {\em representative element} in a {\em repeat-free subgroup}, and for finite abelian groups we can count the…

We show that any faithful quasi-free actions of a finite group on the Cuntz algebra $\mathcal{O}_\infty$ are mutually conjugate, and that they are asymptotically representable.

The well-known characterization of two-ended groups says that every two-ended group can be split over finite subgroups which means it is isomorphic to either by a free product with amalgamation $A\ast_C B$ or an HNN-extension $\ast_{\phi}…

We show that every finitely-generated non-amenable linear group over a field of characteristic zero admits an ergodic action which is rigid in the sense of Popa. If this group has trivial solvable radical, we prove that these actions can be…

We prove that the outer automorphism group of a free group of countably infinite rank is complete.

Let Gamma be a finitely generated, amenable group. Using an idea of E Ghys, we prove that if Gamma has a nontrivial, orientation-preserving action on the real line, then Gamma has an infinite, cyclic quotient. (The converse is obvious.)…

We prove that if a countable group $\Gamma$ contains infinite commuting subgroups $H, H'\subset \Gamma$ with $H$ non-amenable and $H'$ ``weakly normal'' in $\Gamma$, then any measure preserving $\Gamma$-action on a probability space which…
