We show that topological amenability of an action of a countable discrete group on a compact space is equivalent to the existence of an invariant mean for the action. We prove also that this is equivalent to vanishing of bounded cohomology…

It is a long-standing open question whether every Polish group that is not locally compact admits a Borel action on a standard Borel space whose associated orbit equivalence relation is not essentially countable. We answer this question…

The goals of this paper are twofold. First, we generalize the result of Gaboriau and Lyons [GL07] to the setting of von Neumann's problem for equivalence relations, proving that for any non-amenable ergodic probability measure preserving…

Let $\alpha : \Gamma \curvearrowright A$ be an action of a discrete group $\Gamma$ on a unital C*-algebra $A$ by *-automorphisms and let $A \rtimes_{\alpha,\lambda} \Gamma$ denote the corresponding reduced crossed product C*-algebra.…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group. We show that $\Gamma$ has the approximation property if and only if $\Gamma$ is exact and for any operator space $S \subseteq \K(H)$ we have $\Cu(\Gamma)^{\Gamma} \otimes S = (\Cu(\Gamma) \otimes…

We generalize the notion of isoperimetric profiles of finitely generated groups to their actions by measuring the boundary of finite subgraphings of the orbit graphing. We prove that like the classical isoperimetric profiles for groups,…

We consider group measure space II$_1$ factors $M=L^{\infty}(X)\rtimes\Gamma$ arising from Bernoulli actions of ICC property (T) groups $\Gamma$ (more generally, of groups $\Gamma$ containing an infinite normal subgroup with relative…

We discuss the isomorphism problem for ergodic actions of locally compact groups. In particular we show that the conjugacy relation is not Borel for ergodic measure preserving actions of indicable groups.

The assignment of local observables in the vacuum sector, fulfilling the standard axioms of local quantum theory, is known to determine uniquely a compact group G of gauge transformations of the first kind together with a central involutive…

Recently C. Houdayer and Y. Isono have proved among other things that every biexact group $\Gamma$ has the property that for any non-singular strongly ergodic action $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X,\mu)$ on a standard measure space the group…

Consider homogeneous G/H and G/F, for an S-algebraic group G. A lattice {\Gamma} acts on the left strictly conservatively. The following rigidity results are obtained: morphisms, factors and joinings defined apriori only in the measurable…

The main result of this paper is non-vanishing of the image of the index map from the $G$-equivariant $K$-homology of a proper $G$-compact $G$-manifold $X$ to the $K$-theory of the $C^{*}$-algebra of the group $G$. Under the assumption that…

Let $d > 1$, and let $(X,\alpha)$ and $(Y,\beta)$ be two zero-entropy ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$-actions on compact abelian groups by $d$ commuting automorphisms. We show that if all lower rank subactions of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ have completely…

This paper studies nilpotent orbits in complex simple Lie algebras from the viewpoint of strongly visible actions in the sense of T. Kobayashi. We prove that the action of a maximal compact group consisting of inner automorphisms on a…

Let $G$ be a countable group and $X$ be a totally regular curve. Suppose that $\phi:G\rightarrow {\rm Homeo}(X)$ is a minimal action. Then we show an alternative: either the action is topologically conjugate to isometries on the circle…

The paper offers a thorough study of multiorders and their applications to measure-preserving actions of countable amenable groups. By a~{\em multiorder} on a~countable group we mean any probability measure $\nu$ on the collection…

This article is concerned with measure equivalence and uniform measure equivalence of locally compact, second countable groups. We show that two unimodular, locally compact, second countable groups are measure equivalent if and only if they…

We consider various notions of equivalence in the space of bounded operators on a Hilbert space, in particular modulo finite rank, modulo Schatten $p$-class, and modulo compact. Using Hjorth's theory of turbulence, the latter two are shown…

We prove that, if $G$ is a second-countable topological group with a compatible right-invariant metric $d$ and $(\mu_{n})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is a sequence of compactly supported Borel probability measures on $G$ converging to invariance…

As an analogue of the topological boundary of discrete groups $\Gamma$, we define the noncommutative topological boundary of tracial von Neumann algebras $(M, \tau)$ and apply it to generalize the main results of [AHO23], showing that for a…
