In this article we study Sobolev metrics of order one on diffeomorphism groups on the real line. We prove that the space $\operatorname{Diff}_{1}(\mathbb R)$ equipped with the homogenous Sobolev metric of order one is a flat space in the…

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…

For actions with a dense orbit of a connected noncompact simple Lie group $G$, we obtain some global rigidity results when the actions preserve certain geometric structures. In particular, we prove that for a $G$-action to be equivalent to…

Quantum corrections of certain types and relevant in certain regimes can be summarised in terms of an effective action calculable, in principle, from the underlying theory. The demands of symmetries, local form of terms and dimensional…

We study probability-measure preserving (p.m.p.) actions of finitely generated groups via the graphings they define. We introduce and study the notion of isometric orbit equivalence for p.m.p. actions: two p.m.p. actions are isometric orbit…

In this paper, we show that if a group acts isometrically on a good hyperbolic space of finite volume entropy through a non-elementary action, then it admits an affine action on some $L^p$ -space with an unbounded orbit for sufficiently…

The main purpose of this article is to give the integral cohomology of classical principal congruence subgroups in SL(2,Z) as well as their analogues in the third braid group with local coefficients in symmetric powers of the natural…

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…

Let G be a simple non-compact linear connected Lie group and H be a closed non-compact semisimple subgroup. We are interested in finding classes of homogeneous spaces G/H admitting proper actions of discrete non virtually abelian subgroups…

Consider a smooth, locally free, codimension-one action of a higher-rank, simple, split Lie group $G$ on a closed manifold $M$. Let $P$ be a minimal parabolic subgroup of $G$. If the action admits a $P$-invariant probability measure that is…

Let $G = \ZZ_p$, $p$ an odd prime, act freely on a finite-dimensional CW-complex $X$ with mod $p$ cohomology isomorphic to that of a lens space $L^{2m-1} (p;q_1,...,q_m)$. In this paper, we determine the mod $p$ cohomology ring of the orbit…

For $p,q\in [1,\infty)$, we study the isomorphism problem for the $p$- and $q$-convolution algebras associated to locally compact groups. While it is well known that not every group can be recovered from its group von Neumann algebra, we…

For a partition $\underline{\lambda} = (\lambda_{1}^{\rho_1}>\lambda_{2}^{\rho_2}>\lambda_{3}^{\rho_3}>\ldots>\lambda_{k}^{\rho_k})$ and its associated finite abelian $p$-group…

The projective linear group $\text{PGL}(3)$ naturally acts on the Grassmannian $\text{Gr}(3, V_2)$ of $3$-dimensional subspaces of the vector space $V_2$ of homogeneous conics in 3 variables. It was proved by Abdallah, Emsalem and Iarrobino…

We show weighted non-autonomous $L^q(L^p)$ maximal regularity for families of complex second-order systems in divergence form under a mixed regularity condition in space and time. To be more precise, we let $p,q \in (1,\infty)$ and we…

Let kG be the completed group algebra of a uniform pro-p group G with coefficients in a field k of characteristic p. We study right ideals I in kG that are invariant under the action of another uniform pro-p group Gamma. We prove that if I…

This paper proves various results concerning non-ergodic actions of locally compact groups and particularly Borel cocycles defined over such actions. The general philosophy is to reduce the study of the cocycle to the study of its…

Suppose that G=S^1 acts freely on a finitistic space X whose mod p cohomology ring isomorphic to that of a lens space L^{2m-1}(p;q_1,...,q_m). In this paper, we determine the mod p cohomology ring of the orbit space X/G. If the…

We study the interpolation property of Sobolev spaces of order 1 denoted by $W^{1}_{p,V}$, arising from Schr\"{o}dinger operators with positive potential. We show that for $1\leq p_1<p<p_2<q_{0}$ with $p>s_0$, $W^{1}_{p,V}$ is a real…
