Let G be a locally compact group, and let U be its unitary representation on a Hilbert space H. Endow the space L(H) of linear bounded operators on H with weak operator topology. We prove that if U is a measurable map from G to L(H) then it…

A locally compact groupoid is said to have the weak containment property if its full $C^*$-algebra coincides with its reduced one. This property is strictly weaker than amenability and is known to be equivalent to amenability for…

We (a) prove that continuous morphisms from locally compact groups to locally exponential (possibly infinite-dimensional) Lie groups factor through Lie quotients, recovering a result of Shtern's on factoring norm-continuous representations…

The Corona Factorization Property, originally invented to study extensions of C*-algebras, conveys essential information about the intrinsic structure of the C*-algebras. We show that the Corona Factorization Property of a \sigma-unital…

A necessary condition for uniqueness of factorizations of elements of a finite group $G$ with factors belonging to a union of some conjugacy classes of $G$ is given. This condition is sufficient if the number of factors belonging to each…

The category of locally compact quantum groups can be described as either Hopf $*$-homomorphisms between universal quantum groups, or as bicharacters on reduced quantum groups. We show how So{\l}tan's quantum Bohr compactification can be…

We discuss the problem of deciding when a metrisable topological group $G$ has a canonically defined local Lipschitz geometry. This naturally leads to the concept of minimal metrics on $G$, that we characterise intrinsically in terms of a…

We show that, given a continuous action $\alpha$ of a locally compact group $G$ on a factor $M$, the relative commutant $M'\cap(M\rtimes_{\alpha} G)$ is contained in $M\rtimes_{\alpha} H$ where $H$ is the subgroup of elements acting without…

In this paper, we study continuous Rokhlin property of $\mathrm{C}^*$-dynamical systems using techniques of equivariant $\mathrm{KK}$-theory and quantum group theory. In particular, we determine the $\mathrm{KK}$-equivalence class and give…

We extend to metrizable locally compact groups Rosenthal's theorem describing those Banach spaces containing no copy of $l_1$. For that purpose, we transfer to general locally compact groups the notion of interpolation ($I_0$) set, which…

Given a commensurated subgroup $\Lambda$ of a group $\Gamma$, we completely characterize when the inclusion $\Lambda\leq \Gamma$ is $C^*$-irreducible and provide new examples of such inclusions. In particular, we obtain that…

Our purpose is to study in the setting of locally compact groupoids the analogues of the well-known equivalent definitions of exactness for discrete groups. Our best results are obtained for a class of \'etale groupoids that we call inner…

We establish Kirchberg's Local Lifting Property and Lubotzky--Shalom's Property FD for classes of finitely generated groups of central importance in geometric and combinatorial group theory: $3$-manifold groups, limit groups, and certain…

In this paper we present some factorization properties for unbounded local positive maps. We show that an unbounded local positive map $\phi $ on the minimal tensor product of the locally $C^{\ast }$-algebras $\mathcal{A}$ and $C^{\ast…

Let $G$ be a second-countable, locally compact group. In this article we study amenable $G$-actions on Kirchberg algebras that admit an approximately central embedding of a canonical quasi-free action on the Cuntz algebra…

The Guillemin-Sternberg conjecture states that "quantisation commutes with reduction" in a specific technical setting. So far, this conjecture has almost exclusively been stated and proved for compact Lie groups $G$ acting on compact…

For a continuous action $G\curvearrowright X$ of a countable group on a compact metrizable space we show that the following are equivalent: (i) the action $G\curvearrowright X$ has the small boundary property and no finite orbits, (ii) for…

We introduce a bivariant version of the Cuntz semigroup as equivalence classes of order zero maps generalizing the ordinary Cuntz semigroup. The theory has many properties formally analogous to KK-theory including a composition product. We…

Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with infinite cyclic class group $G$ and let $G_P \subset G$ denote the set of classes containing prime divisors. We study under which conditions on $G_P$ some of the main finiteness properties of factorization…

Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…
