Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group that admits an essential measurable splitting (for instance, any group measure equivalent to a free product of nontrivial groups). We show: (1) for any two nontrivial countable groups $B$ and $C$ that are…

Finite dimensional linear spaces (both complex and real) with indefinite scalar product [.,.] are considered. Upper and lower bounds are given for the size of an indecomposable matrix that is normal with respect to this scalar product in…

We have shown recently that, given a metric space $X$, the coarse equivalence classes of metrics on the two copies of $X$ form an inverse semigroup $M(X)$. Here we study the property of idempotents in $M(X)$ of being finite or infinite,…

We single out a large class of groups ${\mathscr{M}}$ for which the following unique prime factorization result holds: if $\Gamma_1,\dots,\Gamma_n\in {\mathscr{M}}$ and $\Gamma_1\times\dots\times\Gamma_n$ is measure equivalent to a product…

Gardner conjectured that if two bounded measurable sets $A,B \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ are equidecomposable by a set of isometries $\Gamma$ generating an amenable group then $A$ and $B$ admit a measurable equidecomposition by all isometries.…

The statements of Main~Theorem~1.1 and Theorem~2.1 of the author's paper [\emph{Trans.\ Amer.\ Math.\ Soc.}\ {\bf 345} (1994) 577--594] should assume that $\Gamma $~is discrete and $G$~is connected. (Cors.~1.3, 5.6, and~5.8 are affected…

A measurable map between measure spaces is shown to have bounded compression if and only if its image via the measure-algebra functor is Lipschitz-continuous w.r.t. the measure-algebra distances. This provides a natural interpretation of…

In the present paper we show that the functor of idempotent probability measures satisfies all of conditions with an additional claim of uniform metrizability of functors.

We consider a uniformly rectifiable set $\Gamma \subset \mathbb R^n$ of dimension $d<n-1$. By using degenerate elliptic operators on the complement $\Omega = \mathbb R^n \setminus \Gamma$, Guy David, Svitlana Mayboroda, and the author…

Consider a lattice $\Gamma$ in a group $G = SL_2(\R), SO(1,n), SU(1,n)$, $SL_2(\Q_p)$. We discuss actions of $\Gamma$ by affine isometric transformations of Hilbert spaces. We show that for irreducible affine isometric action of $G$ its…

We develop the theory of categories of measurable fields of Hilbert spaces and bounded fields of bounded operators. We examine classes of functors and natural transformations with good measure theoretic properties, providing in the end a…

Let $B$ be a separable $C^*$-algebra, let $\Gamma$ be a discrete countable group, let $\alpha: \Gamma \to \text{Aut}(B)$ be an action, and let $A$ be an invariant subalgebra. We find certain freeness conditions which guarantee that any…

We prove that various spaces of constrained positive scalar curvature metrics on compact 3-manifolds with boundary, when not empty, are contractible. The constraints we mostly focus on are given in terms of local conditions on the mean…

For each $\omega\in (0, 1)^{\mathbb N}$, we may construct a Cantor set $E(\omega)\subset [0, 1]$ called a generalized Cantor set for $\omega$. We study the moduli space of $\omega$ denoted by $\mathcal M(\omega)\subset (0, 1)^{\mathbb N}$.…

For a countable abelian group $G$ we investigate generic properties of the space of all invariant metrics on $G$. We prove that for every such an unbounded group $G$, i.e. group which has elements of arbitrarily high order, there is a dense…

For continuous maps on a compact manifold M, particularly for those that do not preserve the Lebesgue measure m, we define the observable invariant probability measures as a generalization of the physical measures. We prove that any…

We will show in this paper that if $\lambda$ is very close to 1, then $$I(M,\lambda,m)= \sup_{u\in H^{1,n}_0(M) ,\int_M|\nabla u|^ndV=1}\int_\Omega (e^{\alpha_n |u|^\frac{n}{n-1}}-\lambda\sum\limits_{k=1}^m\frac{|\alpha_nu^\frac{n}{n-1}|^k}…

The concept of measurability of functions on a charge space is generalised for functions taking values in a uniform space. Several existing forms of measurability generalise naturally in this context, and new forms of measurability are…

We describe all boundedly finite measures which are invariant by Cartesian powers of an infinite measure preserving version of Chacon transformation. All such ergodic measures are products of so-called diagonal measures, which are measures…

It is proved that the exchange property, the Bass stable rank and the quasi-Bass property are all preserved under surjective inverse limits. This is then applied to multiplier rings by showing that in many cases can be obtained as inverse…
