This paper generalizes the results of [13] and then provides an interesting example. We construct a family of $W$-like maps $\{W_a\}$ with a turning fixed point having slope $s_1$ on one side and $-s_2$ on the other. Each $W_a$ has an…

We define Cartan subgroups in connected locally compact groups, which extends the classical notion of Cartan subgroups in Lie groups. We prove their existence and justify our choice of the definition which differs from the one given by…

Using the methods of Ozawa [4] and Runde [5], we show that a type I von Neumann algebra is approximately amenable if and only if it is amenable.

We give a classification of unitary representations of certain Polish, not necessarily locally compact, groups: the groups of all measurable functions with values in the circle and the groups of all continuous functions on compact, second…

We prove a "unique crossed product decomposition" result for group measure space II_1 factors arising from arbitrary free ergodic probability measure preserving (p.m.p.) actions of groups \Gamma in a fairly large family G, which contains…

In this article, we generalize to the case of regular locally compact quantum groups, two important results concerning actions of compact quantum groups. Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be two monoidally equivalent regular locally compact quantum…

The dense amalgam is an operation (introduced in arXiv:1410.4989) which to any finite collection of metrizable compacta associates canonically some new highly disconnected compact metrisable space in which embedded copies of the initial…

In this paper we provide new examples of property (T) group factors with trivial fundamental group thereby providing more evidence towards Popa's conjecture on triviality of fundamental groups for property (T) group factors (page 9…

For a topological group $G$, amenability can be characterized by the amenability of the convolution Banach algebra $L^1(G)$. Here a Banach algebra $A$ is called amenable if every bounded derivation from $A$ into any dual--type…

We initiate a careful study of a generalized symmetric imprimitivity theory for commuting proper actions of locally compact groups H and K on a C*-algebra.

In this paper we develop the theory of strongly singular subalgebras of von Neumann algebras, begun in earlier work. We mainly examine the situation of type $\tto$ factors arising from countable discrete groups. We give simple criteria for…

Let $\mathcal S \subseteq \mathbb Z^m \oplus T$ be a finitely generated and reduced monoid. In this paper we develop a general strategy to study the set of elements in $\mathcal S$ having at least two factorizations of the same length,…

Our primary goal in this article is to study the Iwasawa theory for semi-ordinary families of automorphic forms on $\mathrm{GL}_2\times\mathrm{Res}_{K/\mathbb{Q}}\mathrm{GL}_1$, where $K$ is an imaginary quadratic field where the prime $p$…

In this paper we exhibit a type of semigroup presentations which determines a class of local groups. We show that the finite elements of this class generate the pseudovariety ${\bf LG}$ of all finite local groups and use them as…

We give a new categorical approach to the Halmos-von Neumann theorem for actions of general topological groups. As a first step, we establish that the categories of topological and measure-preserving irreducible systems with discrete…

Noncommutative Iwasawa theory has created a lot of interest in Whitehead groups of Iwasawa algebras of compact p-adic Lie groups with a quotient isomorphic to the additive group of p-adic integers. In this paper we compute Whitehead groups…

Building on our previous work, we study the non-relative homology of quantum group convolution algebras. Our main result establishes the equivalence of amenability of a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$ and 1-injectivity of…

We show that the mapping class group of a compact orientable surface with higher complexity has the following extreme rigidity in the sense of measure equivalence: if the mapping class group is measure equivalent to a discrete group, then…

We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also…

Suppose $G$ is a connected noncompact locally compact group, $A,B$ are nonempty and compact subsets of $G$, $\mu$ is a left Haar measure on $G$. Assuming that $G$ is unimodular, and $ \mu(A^2) < K \mu(A) $ with $K>1$ a fixed constant, our…
