We introduce the class of almost symmetric submanifolds of Euclidean space, a close relative of symmetric submanifolds and (contact) sub-Riemannian symmetric spaces. More specifically, we prove that every full irreducible almost symmetric…

In this paper we consider piecewise linear (pl) isometric embeddings of Euclidean polyhedra into Euclidean space. A Euclidean polyhedron is just a metric space $\mathcal{P}$ which admits a triangulation $\mathcal{T}$ such that each…

In this paper, we define locally convex vector spaces of weighted vector fields and use them as model spaces for Lie groups of weighted diffeomorphisms on Riemannian manifolds. We prove an easy condition on the weights that ensures that…

We discuss $C^0$-continuous homogeneous quasi-morphisms on the identity component of the group of compactly supported symplectomorphisms of a symplectic manifold. Such quasi-morphisms extend to the $C^0$-closure of this group inside the…

Recently Gambaudo and Ghys proved that there exist infinitely many quasi-morphisms on the group ${\rm Diff}_\Omega^\infty (D^2, \partial D^2)$ of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of the 2-disk $D^2$. For the proof, they constructed a…

We construct quasi-isometric embeddings from right-angled Artin groups into the outer automorphism group of a free group. These homomorphisms are in analogy with those constructed in \cite{CLM}, where the target group is the mapping class…

We introduce quasi-homomorphisms of cluster algebras, a flexible notion of a map between cluster algebras of the same type (but with different coefficients). The definition is given in terms of seed orbits, the smallest equivalence classes…

This (quasi-)survey addresses the quasi-isometry classification of locally compact groups, with an emphasis on amenable hyperbolic locally compact groups. This encompasses the problem of quasi-isometry classification of homogeneous…

We prove a rigidity theorem that shows that, under many circumstances, quasi-isometric embeddings of equal rank, higher rank symmetric spaces are close to isometric embeddings. We also produce some surprising examples of quasi-isometric…

Let M be a compact manifold. We show the identity component $\mathrm{Homeo}_0(M)$ of the group of self-homeomorphisms of M has a well-defined quasi-isometry type, and study its large scale geometry. Through examples, we relate this large…

In this work we find the Killing vector fields of the riemannian submanifolds of the thermodynamic phase space of an ideal gas and show that the isometry group corresponding to them is homomorphic to the euclidean group $E(2)$. We also give…

A cusp-decomposable manifold is a manifold constructed from a finite number of complete, negatively curved, finite volume manifolds and identifying the boundaries of truncated cusps by diffeomorphisms. Using properties of the electric space…

Let M be a smooth compact connected oriented manifold of dimension at least two endowed with a volume form. We show that every homogeneous quasi-morphism on the identity component $Diff_0(M,vol)$ of the group of volume preserving…

The concept of quasi-isometric embedding maps between $*$-algebras is introduced. We have obtained some basic results related to this notion and similar to quasi-isometric embedding maps on metric spaces, under some conditions, we give a…

In this paper we deduce a local deformation lemma for uniform embeddings in a metric covering space over a compact manifold from the deformation lemma for embeddings of a compact subspace in a manifold. This implies the local…

We define a numerical quasi-isometry invariant of a finitely generated group, whose values parametrize the difference between the group being uniformly embeddable in a Hilbert space and the reduced C*-algebra of the group being exact.

We classify surface Houghton groups, as well as their pure subgroups, up to isomorphism, commensurability, and quasi-isometry.

We construct embeddings of surface groups into the group of germs of analytic diffeomorphisms in one variable.

We give technical conditions for a quasi-isometry of pairs to preserve a subgroup being hyperbolically embedded. We consider applications to the quasi-isometry and commensurability invariance of acylindrical hyperbolicity of finitely…

For a group $G$, we construct a quasi morphism from its left orderings and the map from the space of left orderings to the second bounded cohomology. We show that these maps reflect various properties of the group orderings.
