I review certain results in harmonic analysis for systems whose configuration space is a compact Lie group. The results described involve a heat kernel measure, which plays the same role as a Gaussian measure on Euclidean space. The main…

The aim of the article is to provide characterizations of the Haage-rup property for locally compact, second countable groups in terms of approximations of some non-ergodic invariant states by mixing ones for actions on unital…

Let X be a compact Abelian group. In the article we obtain a characterization of shifts of Haar distributions on compact open subgroups of the group X by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form of independent random…

Given a locally compact Polish space X, a necessary and sufficient condition for a group G of homeomorphisms of X to be the full isometry group of (X,d) for some proper metric d on X is given. It is shown that every locally compact Polish…

A natural topology on the space of left orderings of an arbitrary semi-group is introduced. It is proved that this space is compact and that for free abelian groups it is homeomorphic to the Cantor set. An application of this result is a…

We give necessary conditions for the existence of a compact manifold locally modelled on a given homogeneous space, which generalize some earlier results, in terms of relative Lie algebra cohomology. Applications include both reductive and…

We introduce a notion of topological entropy for continuous actions of compactly generated topological groups on compact Hausdorff spaces. It is shown that any continuous action of a compactly generated topological group on a compact…

Rational discrete cohomology and homology for a totally disconnected locally compact group $G$ is introduced and studied. The $\mathrm{Hom}$-$\otimes$ identities associated to the rational discrete bimodule $\mathrm{Bi}(G)$ allow to…

Given a separable metrisable space X, and a group G of homeomorphisms of X, we introduce a topological property of the action of G on X which is equivalent to the existence of a G-invariant compatible metric on X. This extends a result of…

Let $G$ be a topological group, let $\phi$ be a continuous endomorphism of $G$ and let $H$ be a closed $\phi$-invariant subgroup of $G$. We study whether the topological entropy is an additive invariant, that is,…

To a generalized tight continuous frame in a Hilbert space $\H$ indexed by a locally compact space $\Si$ endowed with a Radon measure, one associates a coorbit theory converting spaces of functions on $\Si$ in spaces of vectors comparable…

For a countably decomposable finite von Neumann algebra $\mathscr{R}$, we show that any choice of a faithful normal tracial state on $\mathscr{R}$ engenders the same measure topology on $\mathscr{R}$ in the sense of Nelson (J. Func. Anal.,…

A topological space is almost locally compact if it contains a dense locally compact subspace. We generalize a result from \cite{Ma}, showing that isomorphism on Borel classes of almost locally compact Polish metric structures is always…

Using methods from algebraic topology and group cohomology, I pursue Grothendieck's question on equality of geometric and cohomological Brauer groups in the context of complex-analytic spaces. The main result is that equality holds under…

This is an expostion of various aspects of amenability and paradoxical decompositions for groups, group actions and metric spaces. First, we review the formalism of pseudogroups, which is well adapted to stating the alternative of Tarski,…

We study Morse theory on noncompact manifolds equipped with exhaustions by compact pieces, defining the Morse homology of a pair which consists of the manifold and related geometric/homotopy data. We construct a collection of Morse data…

We conjecture that the set of homogeneous probability measures on the maximal Satake compactification of an arithmetic locally symmetric space $S=\Gamma\backslash G/K$ is compact. More precisely, given a sequence of homogeneous probability…

In this paper, we build up a scaled homology theory, $lc$-homology, for metric spaces such that every metric space can be visually regarded as "locally contractible" with this newly-built homology. We check that $lc$-homology satisfies all…

In \cite{Kramer11} Kramer proves for a large class of semisimple Lie groups that they admit just one locally compact $\sigma$-compact Hausdorff topology compatible with the group operations. We present two different methods of generalising…

We study Borel systems and continuous systems of measures, with a focus on mapping properties: compositions, liftings, fibred products and disintegration. Parts of the theory we develop can be derived from known work in the literature, and…
