We investigate some topological properties of a normal functor $H$ introduced earlier by Radul which is some functorial compactification of the Hartman--Mycielski construction HM. We prove that the pair ($HX$, HM$Y$) is homeomorphic to the…

We review the results of several of our papers about the procedure of extension of Hamiltonians, allowing the construction of families of superintegrable systems with non-trivial polynomial first integrals (or symmetry operators) of…

We investigate unitarisability of groups by looking at actions on the cone of positive invertible operators of a Hilbert space. This way, we give a geometric prove to a result by Gilles Pisier on the existence of some universal constants…

A new category of topological spaces with additional structures, called m-towers, is introduced. It is shown that there is a covariant functor which establishes a one-to-one correspondences between unital (resp. arbitrary) subhomogeneous…

As Goresky and MacPherson intersection homology is not the homology of a space, there is no preferred candidate for intersection homotopy groups. Here, they are defined as the homotopy groups of a simplicial set which P. Gajer associates to…

We develop a formalism that allows us to describe Markov compacta with finite sets of diagrams that are building blocks of the entire sequence. This encodes complex, continuous spaces with discrete collections of combinatorial objects. We…

We start the general structure theory of not necessarily semisimple finite tensor categories, generalizing the results in the semisimple case (i.e. for fusion categories), obtained recently in our joint work with D.Nikshych. In particular,…

We are concerned with rigid analytic geometry in the general setting of Henselian fields $K$ with separated analytic structure, whose theory was developed by Cluckers--Lipshitz--Robinson. It unifies earlier work and approaches of numerous…

In this monograph, we give an account of the relationship between the algebraic structure of finitely generated and countable groups and the regularity with which they act on manifolds. We concentrate on the case of one--dimensional…

Recently Borchers has shown that in a theory of local observables, certain unitary and antiunitary operators, which are obtained from an elementary construction suggested by Bisognano and Wichmann, commute with the translation operators…

We study the four-dimensional effective theory arising from ten-dimensional heterotic supergravity compactified on manifolds with torsion. In particular, given the heterotic superpotential appropriately corrected at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha')$…

We present new conditions for semigroups of positive operators to converge strongly as time tends to infinity. Our proofs are based on a novel approach combining the well-known splitting theorem by Jacobs, de Leeuw and Glicksberg with a…

We study orbit configuration spaces $\mathrm{Cf}_G(n,\mathbb{P}^1_*)$ obtained from the action of a finite homography group $G$ on $\mathbb{P}^1$. We construct a flat connection on the orbit space with values in a Lie algebra…

A mechanical linkage is a mechanism made of rigid rods linked together by flexible joints, in which some vertices are fixed and others may move. The partial configuration space of a linkage is the set of all the possible positions of a…

We give a classification of unitary representations of certain Polish, not necessarily locally compact, groups: the groups of all measurable functions with values in the circle and the groups of all continuous functions on compact, second…

In this paper, using some properties of fundamental groups and covering spaces of connected polyhedra and CW-complexes, we present topological proof for some famous theorems about finitely presented groups.

We give strengthened versions of the Herwig-Lascar and Hodkinson-Otto extension theorems for partial automorphisms of finite structures. Such strengthenings yield several combinatorial and group-theoretic consequences for homogeneous…

We prove that weak amenability of a locally compact group imposes a strong condition on its amenable closed normal subgroups. This extends non weak amenability results of Haagerup (1988) and Ozawa--Popa (2010). A von Neumann algebra…

We give examples of results on composition operators connected with lens maps. The first two concern the approximation numbers of those operators acting on the usual Hardy space $H^2$. The last ones are connected with Hardy-Orlicz and…

We classify all irreducible admissible representations of three Olshanski pairs connected to the infinite symmetric group. In particular, our methods yield two simple proofs of the classical Thoma's description of the characters of the…
