Let $\overline{\mathfrak{S}}_\infty$ denote the set of all bijections of natural numbers. Consider the action of $\overline{\mathfrak{S}}_\infty$ on a measure space $\left( X,\mathfrak{M},\mu \right)$, where $\mu$ is…

Let $K$ be a compact metrizable group and $\Ga$ be a group of automorphisms of $K$. We first show that each $\ap \in \Ga$ is distal on $K$ implies $\Ga$ itself is distal on $K$, a local to global correspondence provided $\Ga$ is a…

We study equivariant morphisms from zero dimensional schemes to varieties and show that, under suitable assumptions, all such morphisms factor via a canonical one. We relate the above to Algebraic Representations of Ergodic Actions.

A global action is the algebraic analogue of a topological manifold. This construction was introduced in first place by A. Bak as a combinatorial approach to K-Theory and the concept was later generalized by Bak, Brown, Minian and Porter to…

In previous work, I introduced a measure-conjugacy invariant for sofic group actions called sofic entropy. Here it is proven that the sofic entropy of an amenable group action equals its classical entropy. The proof uses a new…

We introduce the notion of a graded group action on a graded algebra or, which is the same, a group action by graded pseudoautomorphisms. An algebra with such an action is a natural generalization of an algebra with a super- or a…

We consider the problems of measurable isomorphisms and joinings, measurable centralizers and quotients for certain classes of ergodic group actions on infinite measure spaces. Our main focus is on systems of algebraic origin: actions of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a sofic group with a copy of $\mathbb{Z}$ in its center. We construct an uncountable family of pairwise nonisomorphic measure-preserving $\Gamma$ actions with completely positive entropy, none of which is a factor of a…

An algebraic $\Gamma$-action is an action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a compact abelian group $X$ by continuous automorphisms of $X$. We prove that any expansive algebraic action of a finitely generated nilpotent group $\Gamma$ on a…

Classical ergodic theory for integer-group actions uses entropy as a complete invariant for isomorphism of IID (independent, identically distributed) processes (a.k.a. product measures). This theory holds for amenable groups as well.…

We initiate the study of a measurable analogue of small topological full groups that we call $\mathrm L^1$ full groups. These groups are endowed with a Polish group topology which admits a natural complete right invariant metric. We mostly…

We show that for any co-amenable compact quantum group A=C(G) there exists a unique compact Hausdorff topology on the set EA of isomorphism classes of ergodic actions of G such that the following holds: for any continuous field of ergodic…

We prove a general result about the decomposition on ergodic components of group actions on boundaries of spherically homogeneous rooted trees. Namely, we identify the space of ergodic components with the boundary of the orbit tree…

We establish links between countable algebraically closed graphs and the endomorphisms of the countable universal graph $R$. As a consequence we show that, for any countable graph $\Gamma$, there are uncountably many maximal subgroups of…

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…

Let $G$ be a non-periodic amenable group. We prove that there does not exist a topological action of $G$ for which the set of ergodic invariant measures coincides with the set of all ergodic measure-theoretic $G$-systems of entropy zero.…

We generalize the box and observable distances to those between metric measure spaces with group actions, and prove some fundamental properties. As an application, we obtain an example of a sequence of lens spaces with unbounded dimension…

We introduce notions of absolutely non-free and perfectly non-free group actions and use them to study the associated unitary representations. We show that every weakly branch group acts absolutely non-freely on the boundary of the…

In the present paper, we introduce the concept of universal graph series. We then present four invariants of graphs and discuss some of their properties. In particular, one of these invariants is a generalization of the chromatic symmetric…

We focus on two specific generalizations of the chromatic symmetric function: one involving universal graphs and the other concerning vertex-weighted graphs. In this paper, we introduce a unified generalization that incorporates both…
