We prove limit theorems for row sums of a rowwise independent infinitesimal array of random variables with values in a locally compact Abelian group. First we give a proof of Gaiser's theorem, since it does not have an easy access and it is…

Hrushovski proved the Lie model theorem in full generality with model theoretic methods. The theorem states that for every approximate group there exists a generalized definable locally compact model, which, simplifying, is a…

For a Poisson manifold $M$ we develop systematic methods to compute its Picard group $Pic(M)$, i.e., its group of self Morita equivalences. We establish a precise relationship between $Pic(M)$ and the group of gauge transformations up to…

In this note we explain how Day's fixed point theorem can be used to conjugate certain groups of biLipschitz maps of a metric space into special subgroups like similarity groups. In particular, we use Day's theorem to establish Tukia-type…

This paper is about the rigidity of compact group actions in the Poisson context. The main resut is that Hamiltonian actions of compact semisimple type are rigid. We prove it via a Nash-Moser normal form theorem for closed subgroups of…

If a discrete subset S of a topological group G with the identity 1 generates a dense subgroup of G and S \cup {1} is closed in G, then S is called a suitable set for G. We apply Michael's selection theorem to offer a direct,…

We examine the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) model on a circle and compute the Poisson bracket algebra for left and right moving chiral group elements. Our computations apply for arbitrary groups and boundary conditions, the latter…

We give a local central limit theorem for simple random walks on Z^d, including Gaussian error estimates. The detailed proof combines standard large deviation techniques with Cramer-Edgeworth expansions for lattice distributions.

In this article, we obtain, for the total variance distance, the error bounds between Poisson and convolution of power series distributions via Stein's method. This provides a unified approach to many known discrete distributions. Several…

Reid-Smith recently parametrised groups acting on trees with Tits' independence property (P) using graph-based combinatorial structures known as local action diagrams. Properties of the acting (topological) group, such as being locally…

In this paper we show that if $Y=N \times \mathbb{Q}_m$ is a metric space where $N$ is a Carnot group endowed with the Carnot-Caratheodory metric then any quasisymmetric map of $Y$ is actually bilipschitz. The key observation is that $Y$ is…

We develop the structure theory of full isometry groups of locally compact non-positively curved metric spaces. Amongst the discussed themes are de Rham decompositions, normal subgroup structure and characterising properties of symmetric…

We prove that an arbitrary compact metrizable group can be realized as the automorphism group of a graphing; this is a continuous analogue to Frucht's theorem recovering arbitrary finite groups are automorphism groups of finite graphs. The…

Let $G$ be a matrix group. Topological $G$-manifolds with Palais-proper action have the $G$-homotopy type of countable $G$-CW complexes (3.2). This generalizes E Elfving's dissertation theorem for locally linear $G$-manifolds (1996). Also…

We extend the Tian approximation theorem for projective manifolds to a class of complex non-K\"ahler manifolds, the so-called Vaisman manifolds. More precisely, we study the problem of approximating compact regular, respectively…

This survey purports to be an elementary introduction to compactly presented groups, which are the analogue of finitely presented groups in the broader realm of locally compact groups. In particular, compact presentation is interpreted as a…

In this short note we give an answer to the following question. Let $X$ be a locally compact metric space with group of isometries $G$. Let $\{g_i\}$ be a net in $G$ for which $g_ix$ converges to $y$, for some $x,y\in X$. What can we say…

We consider the question of continuity of limit sets for sequences of geometrically finite subgroups of isometry groups of rank-one symmetric spaces, and prove analogues of classical (Kleinian) theorems in this context. In particular we…

In recent years various results about locally symmetric manifolds were proven using probabilistic approaches. One of the approaches is to consider random manifolds by associating a probability measure to the space of discrete subgroups of…

We study isometric actions of compact Lie groups on complete orientable positively curved $n$-manifolds whose orbit spaces have non-empty boundary in the sense of Alexandrov geometry. In particular, we classify quotients of the unit sphere…
