We introduce a measure of super weak noncompactness $\Gamma$ defined for bounded linear operators and subsets in Banach spaces that allows to state and prove a characterization of the Banach spaces which are subspaces of a Hilbert generated…
We study the geometry and dynamics of discrete subgroups $\Gamma$ of $\PSL(3,\mathbb{C})$ with an open invariant set $\Omega \subset \PC^2$ where the action is properly discontinuous and the quotient $\Omega/\Gamma$ contains a connected…
Let $\Gamma$ be a nonelementary discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{Sp}(n,1)$. We show that if the trace skew-field of $\Gamma$ is commutative, then $\Gamma$ stabilizes a copy of complex hyperbolic subspace of quaternionic hyperbolic $n$-space.
This article establishes more properties of the $\ell^p$ dimension introduced in a previous article. Given an amenable group $\Gamma$ acting by translation on $\ell^p(\Gamma)$, this is just a number, associated to the (usually infinite…
We study deterministic and quantum dynamics from a constructive "finite" point of view, since the introduction of a continuum, or other actual infinities in physics poses serious conceptual and technical difficulties, without any need for…
In this paper we give new explicit formulas for Faltings' $\delta$-invariant in terms of integrals of theta functions, and we deduce an explicit lower bound for $\delta$ only in terms of the genus and an explicit upper bound for the…
In a series of papers the authors associated to an $L^2$-acyclic group $\Gamma$ an invariant $\mathcal{P}(\Gamma)$ that is a formal difference of polytopes in the vector space $H_1(\Gamma;\Bbb{R})$. This invariant is in particular defined…
In this paper we develop a co-induction operation which transforms an invariant random subgroup of a group into an invariant random subgroup of a larger group. We use this operation to construct new continuum size families of non-atomic,…
Let $X=S\times E \times B$ be the metric product of a symmetric space $S$ of noncompact type, a Euclidean space $E$ and a product $B$ of Euclidean buildings. Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete group acting isometrically and cocompactly on $X$. We…
In this paper we study invariant rings arising in the study of finite dimensional algebraic structures. The rings we encounter are graded rings of the form $K[U]^{\Gamma}$ where $\Gamma$ is a product of general linear groups over a field…
Consider a unitary representation $\pi$ of a discrete group $G$, which, when restricted to an almost normal subgroup $\Gamma\subseteq G$, is of type II. We analyze the associated unitary representation $\overline{\pi}^{\rm{p}}$ of $G$ on…
We determine all the terms that are gauge-invariant up to a total spacetime derivative ("semi-invariant terms") for gauged non-linear sigma models. Assuming that the isotropy subgroup $H$ of the gauge group is compact or semi-simple, we…
Let $G$ be a subgroup of a discrete (countable) group $\Gamma$. We introduce a notion of relative inner amenability of $G$ in $\Gamma$, we prove some equivalent conditions and provide examples as well as counter-examples. We also discuss…
This paper continues the study of K-theoretic invariants for semigroup C*-algebras attached to ax+b-semigroups over rings of algebraic integers in number fields. We show that from the semigroup C*-algebra together with its canonical…
We study the class of operators $S_{\alpha,\beta}$ obtained by compressing the Hardy shift on the parametric spaces $H^2_{\alpha, \beta}$ corresponding to the pair $\{\alpha,\beta\}$ satisfying $|\alpha|^2+|\beta|^2=1$. We show, for nonzero…
Let $\Gamma$ be a subgroup of $PSL(2,R)$ generated by three parabolic transformations. The main goal of this paper is to present an algorithm to determine whether or not $\Gamma$ is discrete. Historically discreteness algorithms have been…
Let $G$ be a reflection group acting on a vector space $V$ and let $\gamma$ be an automorphism of $V$ normalising $G$. We study how $\gamma$ acts on invariants and covariants (for various representations) of $G$, and properties of its…
A very classical subject in Commutative Algebra is the Invariant Theory of finite groups. In our work on 3-dimensional topology (S. King, Ideal Turaev-Viro invariants. To appear in Top. Appl.), we found certain examples of group actions on…
In this paper we present a mathematical formulation for the omega invariant of a numerical semigroup for each of its minimal generators. The model consists of solving a problem of optimizing a linear function over the efficient set of a…
In this paper we study the action of a countable group $\Gamma$ on the space of orders on the group. In particular, we are concerned with the invariant probability measures on this space, known as invariant random orders. We show that for…
