We introduce and investigate several quantum group dynamical notions for the purpose of studying $C^*$-simplicity of discrete quantum groups via the theory of boundary actions. In particular we define a quantum analogue of Powers' Averaging…
We clarify the relation between noncommutative Poisson boundaries and Furstenberg-Hamana boundaries of quantum groups. Specifically, given a compact quantum group $G$, we show that in many cases where the Poisson boundary of the dual…
We study the C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras associated with the universal discrete quantum groups. They give rise to full prime factors and simple exact C*-algebras. The main tool in our work is the study of an amenable boundary…
This paper studies injective envelopes of groupoid dynamical systems and the corresponding boundaries. Analogue to the group case, we associate a bundle of compact Hausdorff spaces to any (discrete) groupoid (the Hamana boundary of the…
We introduce the notion of Zimmer amenability for actions of discrete quantum groups on von Neumann algebras. We prove generalizations of several fundamental results of the theory in the noncommutative case. In particular, we give a…
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…
We consider group actions on compact median algebras. We show that, given a generating probability measure $\mu$ on the acting group and under suitable conditions on the median algebra, it could be realized in a unique way as a…
We study the interplay between the algebraic and dynamical properties of groups that admit a general type action on a $\delta$-hyperbolic space such that the induced action on the limit set of the Gromov boundary is faithful. We divide the…
We develop a relative boundary theory for actions of discrete groups on compact spaces and use it to derive rigidity results for reduced crossed products. For a discrete group $\Gamma$ acting on a compact space $X$ and a subgroup $H$, we…
We consider the Markov operator P_phi on a discrete quantum group given by convolution with a q-tracial state phi. In the study of harmonic elements x, P_phi(x)=x, we define the Martin boundary A_phi. It is a separable C*-algebra carrying…
Let $G$ be a countable discrete group that act minimally on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ by homeomorphisms. Our goal is to establish the equivalence between the faithfulness of the action of $G$ on the generalized Furstenberg boundary…
For a discrete group G, we consider the minimal C*-subalgebra of $\ell^\infty(G)$ that arises as the image of a unital positive G-equivariant projection. This algebra always exists and is unique up to isomorphism. It is trivial if and only…
We define the Furstenberg boundary of a locally compact Hausdorff \'etale groupoid, generalising the Furstenberg boundary for discrete groups, by providing a construction of a groupoid-equivariant injective envelope. Using this injective…
For a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$, a (left) coideal is a (left) $\mathbb{G}$-invariant von Neumann subalgebra of $L^\infty(\mathbb{G})$. We introduce and analyze various generalizations of amenability and coamenability to…
Let $\Gamma$ be a non-elementary hyperbolic group and $\mu$ be a probability on $\Gamma$. We study the $\mu$-proximal, stationary actions, also known as boundary actions, of $\Gamma$. In particular, we are interested in the spectrum of…
We consider random walks on semisimple Lie groups where the support of the step distribution generates (as a group) a Zariski dense discrete subgroup of infinite covolume. When the semisimple Lie group has property (T), we show that the…
We provide a detailed study of actions of the integers on compact quantum metric spaces, which includes general criteria ensuring that the associated crossed product algebra is again a compact quantum metric space in a natural way. We…
We consider symmetric random walks on discrete, Zariski-dense subgroups $\Gamma$ of a semisimple Lie group $G$ with Property (T). We prove that if $\Gamma$ has infinite covolume, then the associated hitting measure on the Furstenberg…
We introduce and study a generalization of the notion of the Furstenberg boundary of a discrete group $\Gamma$ to the setting of a general unitary representation $\pi: \Gamma \to B(\mathcal H_\pi)$. This space, which we call the…
For a locally compact quantum group $\mathbb{G}$, consider the convolution action of a quantum probability measure $\mu$ on $L_\infty(\mathbb{G})$. As shown by Junge--Neufang--Ruan, this action has a natural extension to a Markov map on…
