Let $(M,\omega)$ be a Hamiltonian $G$-space with a momentum map $F:M \to {\frak g}^*$. It is well-known that if $\alpha$ is a regular value of $F$ and $G$ acts freely and properly on the level set $F^{-1}(G\cdot \alpha)$, then the reduced…

Consider two free measure preserving group actions $\Gamma \actson (X, \mu), \Delta \actson (X, \mu)$, and a measure preserving action $\Delta \actson^a (Z, \nu)$ where $(X, \mu), (Z, \nu)$ are standard probability spaces. We show how to…

Let $G$ be a finite group acting transitively on a set $\Omega$. We study what it means for this action to be {\it quasirandom}, thereby generalizing Gowers' study of quasirandomness in groups. We connect this notion of quasirandomness to…

Let $G$ be a connected and simply connected semisimple algebraic group over $\Bbb Q$ and let $\Gamma\subset G(\Bbb Q)$ be an arithmetic subgroup. Let $K_\infty\subset G(\Bbb R)$ be a maximal compact subgroup and let $d$ be the dimension of…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group and $\mathrm{Sub}(\Gamma)$ its Chabauty space, namely the compact $\Gamma$-space consisting of all subgroups of $\Gamma$. We call a subgroup $\Delta \in \mathrm{Sub}(\Gamma)$ a boomerang subgroup if for…

We give a short new proof that for each non-elementary Kleinian group $\Gamma$, the exponent of convergence of an arbitrary non-trivial normal subgroup is bounded below by half of the exponent of convergence of $\Gamma$, and that strict…

We introduce and systematically study the concept of a growth tight action. This generalizes growth tightness for word metrics as initiated by Grigorchuk and de la Harpe. Given a finitely generated, non-elementary group $G$ acting on a…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group acting on a countable set $X$ by permutations. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the action to have a quasi-invariant mean with a given cocycle. This can be viewed as a combinatorial analogue…

Given a discrete group $\Gamma=<g_1,\ldots,g_M>$ and a number $K\in\mathbb N$, a unitary representation $\rho:\Gamma\to U_K$ is called quasi-flat when the eigenvalues of each $\rho(g_i)\in U_K$ are uniformly distributed among the $K$-th…

Let $X$ be a non-degenerate connected compact metric space. If $X$ admits a distal minimal action by a finitely generated amenable group, then the first \vCech cohomology group $ {\check H}^1(X)$ with integer coefficients is nontrivial. In…

Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete countable group. Consider the crossed product C$^\ast$-algebra $\mathfrak{R}(\Gamma) = C^{\ast}(\Gamma \rtimes l^{\infty}(\Gamma))$. Let $G$ be a larger discrete group, containing $\Gamma$ as an almost normal…

A topological group $G$ is extremely amenable if every continuous action of $G$ on a compact space has a fixed point. Using the concentration of measure techniques developed by Gromov and Milman, we prove that the group of automorphisms of…

We obtain a characterisation of confined subgroups of Thompson's group $F$. As a result, we deduce that orbital graph of a point under action of $F$ has uniformly subexponential growth if and only if this point is fixed by the commutator…

We show under weak hypotheses that $\partial X$, the Roller boundary of a finite dimensional CAT(0) cube complex $X$ is the Furstenberg-Poisson boundary of a sufficiently nice random walk on an acting group $\Gamma$. In particular, we show…

Consider a geometrically finite Kleinian group $G$ without parabolic or elliptic elements, with its Kleinian manifold $M=(\H^3\cup \Omega_G)/G$. Suppose that for each boundary component of $M$, either a maximal and connected measured…

We investigate structural properties of non-sofic groups, assuming that such groups exist. We introduce and study two classes: minimal non-sofic groups and $\omega$-non-sofic groups. For minimal non-sofic groups, we establish strong…

Let $\mathbb{G}$ be a compact quantum group and $A\subseteq B$ an inclusion of $\sigma$-finite $\mathbb{G}$-dynamical von Neumann algebras. We prove that the $\mathbb{G}$-inclusion $A\subseteq B$ is strongly equivariantly amenable if and…

We define fermionic actions of finite super-groups on fermionic fusion categories and establish necessary and sufficient conditions for their existence. Our main result characterizes when a braided fusion category admits a minimal…

We explore classifiability of crossed products of actions of countable amenable groups on compact, metrizable spaces. It is completely understood when such crossed products are simple, separable, unital, nuclear and satisfy the UCT: these…

We prove that every acylindrically hyperbolic group admits a minimal and extremely proximal action on a compact metrizable space. If there are no nontrivial finite normal subgroups, then the action is topologically free. This answers…
