Fix a commutative monoid $(T,+,0)$, a commutative monoid $(\Gamma,+,0_\Gamma)$, and a map \[ (a,\alpha,b,\beta,c)\longmapsto a\,\alpha\,b\,\beta\,c\in T \] which is additive in each variable and associative in the ternary sense. A left…

We study closed subspaces of $L^2(X)$, where $(X, \mu)$ is a $\sigma$-finite measure space, that are invariant under the unitary representation associated to a measurable action of a discrete countable LCA group $\Gamma$ on $X$. We provide…

In S. 1 we deal with amalgamation bases, e.g., we define when an a.e.c. $k$ has $(\lambda,\kappa)$-amalgamation which means "many" M in $K^k_\lambda$ are amalgamation bases. We then consider what happens for the class of lf groups. In S. 2…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable discrete group, and let $\pi\colon \Gamma\to {\rm{GL}}(H)$ be a representation of $\Gamma$ by invertible operators on a separable Hilbert space $H$. We show that the semidirect product group…

The paper is devoted to a study of generic representations (homomorphisms) of discrete countable groups $\Gamma$ in Polish groups $G$, i.e. those elements in the Polish space $\mathrm{Rep}(\Gamma,G)$ of all representations of $\Gamma$ in…

In this paper, we find at the properties of the family lambda which imply that the function space C(X,R^alpha) with the lambda-open topology is a semitopological group (paratopological group, topological group, topological vector space and…

Let $X$ be a compact metrizable group and $\Gamma$ a countable group acting on $X$ by continuous group automorphisms. We give sufficient conditions under which the dynamical system $(X,\Gamma)$ is surjunctive, i.e., every injective…

We characterize supramenable groups in terms of existence of invariant probability measures for partial actions on compact Hausdorff spaces and existence of tracial states on partial crossed products. These characterizations show that, in…

Let $\Gamma$ be a countable abelian group. An (abstract) $\Gamma$-system $\mathrm{X}$ - that is, an (abstract) probability space equipped with an (abstract) probability-preserving action of $\Gamma$ - is said to be a Conze-Lesigne system if…

Let $\Gamma$ be an irreducible lattice of $\Q$-rank $\geq 2$ in a semisimple Lie group of noncompact type. We prove that any action of $\Gamma$ on a $\CAT(0)$ cubical complex has a global fixed point.

It is proved that the assembly map in algebraic K- and L-theory with respect to the family of finite subgroups is injective for groups $\Gamma$ with finite quotient finite decomposition complexity (a strengthening of finite decomposition…

Let $G$ be an abelian Polish group. We show that there is a strongly Haar meager set in $G$ without any $F_{\sigma}$ Haar meager hull (and that this still remains true if we replace $F_{\sigma}$ by any other class of the Borel hierarchy).…

We investigate the structure of the most general actions with symmetry group $G$, spontaneously broken down to a subgroup $H$. We show that the only possible terms in the Lagrangian density that, although not $G$-invariant, yield…

We give a partial answer to an important open problem in descriptive set theory, the Decomposability Conjecture for Borel functions on an analytic subset of a Polish space to a separable metrizable space. Our techniques employ deep results…

We study the notion of weak amalgamation in the context of diagonal conjugacy classes. Generalizing results of Kechris and Rosendal, we prove that for every countable structure $M$, Polish group $G$ of permutations of $M$, and $n \geq 1$,…

Let $\bold G$ be a reductive algebraic group defined over $\Q$, and let $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $\bold G(\Q)$. Let $X$ be the symmetric space for $\bold G(\R)$, and assume $X$ is contractible. Then the cohomology (mod torsion)…

We show that if $\Gamma = \Gamma_1\times\dotsb\times \Gamma_n$ is a product of $n\geq 2$ non-elementary ICC hyperbolic groups then any discrete group $\Lambda$ which is $W^*$-equivalent to $\Gamma$ decomposes as a $k$-fold direct sum…

In this paper, we introduce a collection of purely loxodromic free Kleinian groups, called infinite Schottky group, which are defined by a suitable collection of simple loops in a similar way as in the case for Schottky groups of finite…

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…
