We present a simple approach to questions of topological orbit equivalence for actions of countable groups on topological and smooth manifolds. For example, for any action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on a topological manifold where the…
We show that the group of bounded automatic automorphisms of a rooted tree is amenable, which implies amenability of numerous classes of groups generated by finite automata. The proof is based on reducing the problem to showing amenability…
Symbolic dynamical theory plays an important role in the research of amenability with a countable group. Motivated by the deep results of Dougall and Sharp, we study the group extensions for topologically mixing random shifts of finite…
A group is said to be strongly amenable if each of its proximal topological actions has a fixed point. We show that a finitely generated group is strongly amenable if and only if it is virtually nilpotent. More generally, a countable…
We define the notion of computability of F{\o}lner sets for finitely generated amenable groups. We prove, by an explicit description, that the Kharlampovich group, a finitely presented solvable group with unsolvable word problem, has…
Semiuniform semigroups provide a natural setting for the convolution of generalized finite measures on semigroups. A semiuniform semigroup is said to be ambitable if each uniformly bounded uniformly equicontinuous set of functions on the…
The study of localizations of groups has concentrated on group theoretic properties which are preserved by localization. In this paper we look at finitely generated soluble groups and determine when the local groups associated with them are…
We give sufficient conditions for sensitivity of continuous group actions on uniform spaces.
We define and study homotopy groups of cubical sets. To this end, we give four definitions of homotopy groups of a cubical set, prove that they are equivalent, and further that they agree with their topological analogues via the geometric…
We investigate fixed point properties for isometric actions of topological groups on a wide class of metric spaces, with a particular emphasis on Hilbert spaces. Instead of requiring the action to be continuous, we assume that it is…
We formulate some problems and conjectures about semigroups of rational functions under composition. The considered problems arise in different contexts, but most of them are united by a certain relationship to the concept of amenability.
In this paper, we introduce a weak form of amenability on topological semigroups that we call $\varphi$-amenability, where $\varphi$ is a character on a topological semigroup. Some basic properties of this new notion are obtained and by…
We consider an arbitrary topological group $G$ definable in a structure $\mathcal M$, such that some basis for the topology of $G$ consists of sets definable in $\mathcal M$. To each such group $G$ we associate a compact $G$-space of…
We give a sufficient condition for a symbolic topological dynamical system with action of a countable amenable group to be an extension of the full shift, a problem analogous to those studied by Ashley, Marcus, Johnson and others for…
E. Hrushovski proved that the theory of difference-differential fields of characteristic zero has a model-companion. We denote it DCFA. In this paper we study definable groups in a model of DCFA. First we prove that such a group is embeds…
This is a largely expository paper about how groups arise or are of interest in model theory. Included are the following topics: classifying groups definable in specific structures or theories and the relation to algebraic groups, groups…
We consider d-minimal expansions of ordered fields. We demonstrate the existence of definable quotients of definable sets by definable equivalence relations when several technical conditions are satisfied. These conditions are satisfied…
Given a definably amenable approximate subgroup $A$ of a (local) group in some first-order structure, there is a type-definable subgroup $H$ normalised by $A$ and contained in $A^4$ such that every definable superset of $H$ has positive…
Topologies on algebraic and equational theories are used to define germ determined, near-point determined, and point determined rings of smooth functions, without requiring them to be finitely generated. It is proved, that any commutative…
Let $(X_n)_{n}$ be a sequence of uniform spaces such that each space $X_n$ is a closed subspace in $X_{n+1}$. We give an explicit description of the topology and uniformity of the direct limit $u-lim X_n$ of the sequence $(X_n)$ in the…
