Let $G$ be an abelian Polish group. We show that there is a strongly Haar meager set in $G$ without any $F_{\sigma}$ Haar meager hull (and that this still remains true if we replace $F_{\sigma}$ by any other class of the Borel hierarchy).…

We show that all groups of a distinguished class of \guillemotleft large\guillemotright\ topological groups, that of Roelcke precompact Polish groups, have Kazhdan's Property (T). This answers a question of Tsankov and generalizes previous…

We investigate conditions for the extendibility of continuous algebra homomorphisms $\phi$ from the Fourier algebra $A(F)$ of a locally compact group $F$ to the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ to maps between…

Let G be a reductive group over a commutative ring R. We say that G has isotropic rank >=n, if every normal semisimple reductive R-subgroup of G contains (G_m)^n. We prove that if G has isotropic rank >=1 and R is a regular domain…

We state conditions for which a definable local homomorphism between two locally definable groups $\mathcal{G}$, $\mathcal{G^{\prime}}$ can be uniquely extended when $\mathcal{G}$ is simply connected (Theorem 2.1). As an application of this…

Let $\mathcal P(S)$ be the semigroup obtained by equipping the family of all non-empty subsets of a (multiplicatively written) semigroup $S$ with the operation of setwise multiplication induced by $S$ itself. We call a subsemigroup $P$ of…

A subset of a Polish space $X$ is called universally small if it belongs to each ccc $\sigma$-ideal with Borel base on $X$. Under CH in each uncountable Abelian Polish group $G$ we construct a universally small subset $A_0\subset G$ such…

The holomorph of a discrete group $G$ is the universal semi-direct product of $G$. In chapter 1 we describe why it is an interesting object and state main results. In chapter 2 we recall the classical definition of the holomorph as well as…

Let G be a simple, simply connected algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic p. Let \sigma:G->G be a strict endomorphism (i. e., the subgroup G(\sigma) of \sigma-fixed points is finite). Also,…

Let $\mathrm{G}$ be a subgroup of the symmetric group $\mathfrak S(U)$ of all permutations of a countable set $U$. Let $\overline{\mathrm{G}}$ be the topological closure of $\mathrm{G}$ in the function topology on $U^U$. We initiate the…

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…

We give strong necessary conditions on the admissibility of a Polish group topology for an arbitrary graph product of groups $G(\Gamma, G_a)$, and use them to give a characterization modulo a finite set of nodes. As a corollary, we give a…

Given a definably compact group G in a saturated o-minimal structure, there is a canonical homomorphism from G to a compact real Lie group F(G). We establish a similar result for the (o-mininimal) universal cover of a definably compact…

Let $G$ be a finitely generated group, $\mathrm{Sub}(G)$ the (compact, metric) space of all subgroups of $G$ with the Chaubuty topology and $X!$ the (Polish) group of all permutations of a countable set $X$. We show that the following…

We use algebraic techniques to study homological filling functions of groups and their subgroups. If $G$ is a group admitting a finite $(n+1)$--dimensional $K(G,1)$ and $H \leq G$ is of type $F_{n+1}$, then the $n^{th}$--homological filling…

In the late $70$'s Feldman and Moore defined the cohomology associated to a countable equivalence relation with coefficients in an Abelian Polish group. When the equivalence relation is the orbital one, that is it is induced by a measure…

For a compactly generated LCA group $G$, it is shown that the set $H(G)$ of all generalized characters on $G$ equipped with the compact-open topology is a LCA group and $H(G) = \dg$ (the dual group of $G$) if and only if $G$ is compact.…

Let $ H $ be a subgroup of a finite group $ G $. We say that $ H $ satisfies the partial $ \mathscr L $-$ \Pi $-property in $ G $ if $ H\unlhd G $, or if $ | G / K : \mathrm{N} _{G / K} (HK/K)| $ is a $ \pi (HK/K) $-number for any $ G…

Let $G$ be a complex connected reductive algebraic group and let $G_{\mathbb{R}}$ be a real form of $G$. We construct a sequence of functors $L_i\mathcal{R}$ from admissible (resp. finite-length) representations of $G$ to admissible (resp.…

Let $U(KG)$ be the group of units of the group ring $KG$ of the group $G$ over a commutative ring $K$. The anti-automorphism $g\mapsto g\m1$ of $G$ can be extended linearly to an anti-automorphism $a\mapsto a^*$ of $KG$. Let $S_*(KG)=\{x\in…
