We study the problem of when, given a countable homogeneous structure $M$ and a space $S$ of expansions of $M$, every $\mathrm{Aut}(M)$-invariant probability measure on $S$ is exchangeable (i.e. invariant under all permutations of the…

Let $G$ be a connected simple linear Lie group of rank one, and let $\Gamma <G$ be a discrete Zariski dense subgroup admitting a finite Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure $m^{\operatorname{BMS}}$. We show that the right translation action of…

MV-algebras can be viewed either as the Lindenbaum algebras of Lukasiewicz infinite-valued logic, or as unit intervals of lattice-ordered abelian groups in which a strong order unit has been fixed. The free n-generated MV-algebra Free_n is…

The \emph{Diophantine exponent} of an action of a group on a homogeneous space, as defined by Ghosh, Gorodnik, and Nevo, quantifies the complexity of approximating the points of the homogeneous space by the points on an orbit of the group.…

Let $J$ be a semisimple Lie group with all simple factors of real rank at least two. Let $\Gamma<J$ be a lattice. We prove a very general local rigidity result about actions of $J$ or $\Gamma$. This shows that almost all so-called "standard…

We consider a stochastic conservation law on the line with solution-dependent diffusivity, a super-linear, sub-quadratic Hamiltonian, and smooth, spatially-homogeneous kick-type random forcing. We show that this Markov process admits a…

Let $\mathcal G_n$ denote the space of $n$-generated marked groups. We prove that, for every $n\ge 2$, there exist $2^{\aleph_0}$ non-atomic, $Out(F_n)$-invariant, mixing probability measures on $\mathcal G_n$. On the other hand, there are…

We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…

Let $\Gamma \stackrel{i}{\hookrightarrow} L$ be a lattice in the real simple Lie group $L$. If $L$ is of rank at least 2 (respectively locally isomorphic to $Sp(n,1)$) any unbounded morphism $\rho: \Gamma \longrightarrow G$ into a simple…

We study the homogeneous ind-spaces $\mathrm{GL}(\mathbf{s})/\mathbf{P}$ where $\mathrm{GL}(\mathbf{s})$ is a strict diagonal ind-group defined by a supernatural number $\mathbf{s}$ and $\mathbf{P}$ is a parabolic ind-subgroup of…

Given a simple Lie group $G$, we show that the lattices in $G$ are weakly uniformly discrete. This is a strengthening of the Kazhdan-Margulis theorem. Our proof however is straightforward --- considering general IRS rather than lattices…

Let $(\az,F)$ be a bipermutative algebraic cellular automaton. We present conditions which force a probability measure which is invariant for the $\N\times\Z$-action of $F$ and the shift map $\s$ to be the Haar measure on $\gs$, a closed…

We study the spectrum of the Hodge-Laplacian on $1$-forms for left-invariant metrics on the Lie group $\operatorname{SU}(2) \cong S^3$ and its quotient $\operatorname{SO}(3)\cong P^3(\mathbb{R})$. To the best of our knowledge, we provide…

Let $M$ be a finite volume analytic pseudo-Riemannian manifold that admits an isometric $G$-action with a dense orbit, where $G$ is a connected non-compact simple Lie group. For low-dimensional $M$, i.e. $\dim(M) < 2\dim(G)$, when the…

We consider a class of dynamical systems on a Lie group $G$ with a left-invariant metric and right-invariant nonholonomic constraints (so called LR systems) and show that, under a generic condition on the constraints, such systems can be…

Let $X$ be a compact complex surface. Consider a finitely supported probability measure $\mu$ on $\text{Aut}(X)$ such that $\Gamma_{\mu} = \langle \text{Supp}(\mu)\rangle<\text{Aut}(X)$ is non-elementary. We do not assume that…

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of invariant measures for a class of semilinear stochastic partial differential equations driven by multiplicative noise on a bounded domain. The main results can be applied to SPDEs…

We prove that any real-analytic action of $SL(n,\Z), n\ge 3$ with standard homotopy data that preserves an ergodic measure $\mu$ whose support is not contained in a ball, is analytically conjugate on an open invariant set to the standard…

We study Einstein metrics on complex projective spaces that are invariant under cohomogeneity one actions of compact connected Lie groups, under the assumption that the singular orbits are totally geodesic. These actions were classified by…

We prove a rigidity theorem for the geometry of the unit ball in random subspaces of the scl norm in B_1^H of a free group. In a free group F of rank k, a random word w of length n (conditioned to lie in [F,F]) has scl(w)=log(2k-1)n/6log(n)…
