We construct p.m.p. group actions that are not local-global limits of sequences of finite graphs. Moreover, they do not weakly contain any sequence of finite labeled graphs. Our methods are based on the study of almost automorphisms of…
We consider the problem of $L_p$-testing of class of bounded derivative properties over hypergrid domain with points distributed according to some product distribution. This class includes monotonicity, the Lipschitz property,…
We consider the nonlinear graph $p$-Laplacian and its set of eigenvalues and associated eigenfunctions of this operator defined by a variational principle. We prove a nodal domain theorem for the graph $p$-Laplacian for any $p\geq 1$. While…
In this paper, we show that the density in energy of Lipschitz functions in a Sobolev space $N^{1,p}(X)$ holds for all $p\in [1,\infty)$ whenever the space $X$ is complete and separable and the measure is Radon and finite on balls.…
We provide a necessary and sufficient condition that $L^p$-norms, $2<p<6$, of eigenfunctions of the square root of minus the Laplacian on 2-dimensional compact boundaryless Riemannian manifolds $M$ are small compared to a natural power of…
Electronic properties of amorphous or non-crystalline disordered solids are often modelled by one-particle Schroedinger operators with random potentials which are ergodic with respect to the full group of Euclidean translations. We give a…
Finite rank median spaces are a simultaneous generalisation of finite dimensional ${\rm CAT}(0)$ cube complexes and real trees. If $\Gamma$ is an irreducible lattice in a product of rank one simple Lie groups, we show that every action of…
We investigate conformal dimension for the class of infinite hyperbolic groups in the Gromov density model $\mathcal{G}^d_{m,l}$ of random groups with $m \geq 2$ fixed generators, density $0 < d < 1/2$ and relator length $l \to \infty$. Our…
We introduce and study Laplacians on a finite metric graph endowed with generalized densities, that is, measures of finite mass. One important motivation is that this setting provides a common framework for several interesting classes of…
A topological group $G$ is called extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. This concept is linked with geometry of high dimensions (concentration of measure). We show that a von Neumann…
We prove a compactness result for classes of actions of many small categories on quantum compact metric spaces by Lipschitz linear maps, for the topology of the covariant Gromov-Hausdorff propinquity. In particular, our result applies to…
We consider fixed-point equations for probability measures charging measured compact metric spaces that naturally yield continuum random trees. On the one hand, we study the existence/uniqueness of the fixed-points and the convergence of…
In this note we consider a $p$-isometrisability property of discrete groups. If $p=2$ this property is equivalent to unitarisability. We prove that any group containing a non-abelian free subgroup is not $p$-isometrisable for any $p\in (1,…
Every homomorphism from finite index subgroups of a universal lattices to mapping class groups of orientable surfaces (possibly with punctures), or to outer automorphism groups of finitely generated nonabelian free groups must have finite…
We show that the (topological) full group of a minimal pseudogroup over the Cantor set satisfies various rigidity phenomena of topological dynamical and combinatorial nature. Our main result applies to its possible homomorphisms into other…
For the natural two parameter filtration $(\mathcal{F}_\lambda : \lambda \in P)$ on the boundary of a triangle building we define a maximal function and a square function and show their boundedness on $L^p(\Omega_0)$ for $p \in (1,…
Korsky, Saffat and Aiylam introduced a growth constant $c(G)$ for integer-valued $h$-Lipschitz functions on a finite graph $G$ and proved that, for $G=G(n,d/n)$, \[ \frac{1}{2d}+O(d^{-2})\le \log c(G)\le \frac{4\log^2 d}{d}+O(d^{-1}) \]…
This is a survey of two papers joint with A. Borisov and a paper joint with I. Spakulova. It is based on my lectures at the conference "Groups St. Andrews 2009", Bath (August 2009). We prove that almost all 1-related groups with at least 3…
We prove that the family of largest cuts in the binomial random graph exhibits the following stability property: If $1/n \ll p = 1-\Omega(1)$, then, with high probability, there is a set of $n - o(n)$ vertices that is partitioned in the…
We study profinite actions of residually finite groups in terms of weak containment. We show that two strongly ergodic profinite actions of a group are weakly equivalent if and only if they are isomorphic. This allows us to construct…
