In the standard orbit model on shape analysis, a group of diffeomorphism on the ambient space equipped with a right invariant sub-riemannian metric acts on a space of shapes and induces a sub-riemannian structure on various spaces. An…

We analyse the structure of the quotient $\mathrm{A}_\sim(\Gamma,X,\mu)$ of the space of measure-preserving actions of a countable discrete group by the relation of weak equivalence. This space carries a natural operation of convex…

We consider variational regularization of nonlinear inverse problems in Banach spaces using Tikhonov functionals. This article addresses the problem of $\Gamma$-convergence of a family of Tikhonov functionals and assertions of the…

A gauge theory of gravity based on a nonlinear realization (NLR) of the local Conform-Affine (CA) group of symmetry transformations is presented. The coframe fields and gauge connections of the theory are obtained. The tetrads and Lorentz…

The dissertation deals with noncommutative field theories, namely field theories compatible with the existence of a minimal (quantum gravity) length scale. Two families of quantum spacetime are considered. One is characterized by semisimple…

Let $\Gamma$ be a sub-semigroup of $G=GL(d,\mathbb R),$ $d>1.$ We assume that the action of $\Gamma$ on $\R^d$ is strongly irreducible and that $\Gamma$ contains a proximal and expanding element. We describe contraction properties of the…

A locally compact group $G$ is a cocompact envelope of a group $\Gamma$ if $G$ contains a copy of $\Gamma$ as a discrete and cocompact subgroup. We study the problem that takes two finitely generated groups $\Gamma,\Lambda$ having a common…

The aim of this note is to prove a representation theorem for left--invariant functionals in Carnot groups. As a direct consequence, we can also provide a $\Gamma$-convergence result for a smaller class of functionals.

We show that if $\Gamma\curvearrowright (X^\Gamma,\mu^\Gamma)$ is a Bernoulli action of an i.c.c. nonamenable group $\Gamma$ which is weakly amenable with Cowling-Haagerup constant $1$, and $\Lambda\curvearrowright(Y,\nu)$ is a free ergodic…

This work is motivated by a question published in E. Glasner's paper On a question of Kazhdan and Yom Din regarding the possibility to approximate functionals on a Banach space which are almost invariant with respect to an action of a…

Let $\pi$ be a group equipped with an action of a second group $G$ by automorphisms. We define the equivariant cohomological dimension ${\sf cd}_G(\pi)$, the equivariant geometric dimension ${\sf gd}_G(\pi)$, and the equivariant…

Let $\bold G$ be a reductive algebraic group defined over $\Q$, and let $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $\bold G(\Q)$. Let $X$ be the symmetric space for $\bold G(\R)$, and assume $X$ is contractible. Then the cohomology (mod torsion)…

This paper presents invariants under gamma correction and similarity transformations. The invariants are local features based on differentials which are implemented using derivatives of the Gaussian. The use of the proposed invariant…

For a symmetric differential on the compact quotient $\Sigma = \mathbb{B}^n / \Gamma$ of the complex unit ball $\mathbb{B}^n \subset \mathbb{C}^n$ by a discrete subgroup $\Gamma \subset \mathrm{Aut}(\mathbb{B}^n)$, there exists a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a finite group acting on a Lie group $G$. We consider a class of group extensions $1 \to G \to \hat{G} \to \Gamma \to 1$ defined by this action and a $2$-cocycle of $\Gamma$ with values in the centre of $G$. We establish and…

We analyze integral representation and $\Gamma$-convergence properties of functionals defined on \emph{piecewise rigid functions}, i.e., functions which are piecewise affine on a Caccioppoli partition where the derivative in each component…

A countable discrete group $\Gamma$ is said to have the relative ISR-property if for every non-trivial normal subgroup $N\trianglelefteq\Gamma$ and every von Neumann subalgebra $\mathcal{M}\subseteq L(\Gamma)$ invariant under conjugation by…

We propose an abstract framework for the homogenization of random functionals which may contain non-convex terms, based on a two-scale $\Gamma$-convergence approach and a definition of Young measures on micropatterns which encodes the…

Fixing a subgroup $\Gamma$ in a group $G$, the full commensurability growth function assigns to each $n$ the cardinality of the set of subgroups $\Delta$ of $G$ with $[\Gamma: \Gamma \cap \Delta][\Delta : \Gamma \cap \Delta] \leq n$. For…

We reformulate Fourier-space crystallography in the language of cohomology of groups. Once the problem is understood as a classification of linear functions on the lattice, restricted by a particular group relation, and identified by gauge…
