A discrete group with word-length (G,L) is B-isocohomological for a bounding classes B if the comparison map from B-bounded cohomology to ordinary cohomology (with complex coefficients) is an isomorphism; it is strongly B-isocohomological…
Consider a proper cocompact CAT(0) space X. We give a complete algebraic characterisation of amenable groups of isometries of X. For amenable discrete subgroups, an even narrower description is derived, implying Q-linearity in the…
We study a coarse homology theory with prescribed growth conditions. For a finitely generated group G with the word length metric this homology theory turns out to be related to amenability of G. We characterize vanishing of a certain…
In this paper we show that if $Y=N \times \mathbb{Q}_m$ is a metric space where $N$ is a Carnot group endowed with the Carnot-Caratheodory metric then any quasisymmetric map of $Y$ is actually bilipschitz. The key observation is that $Y$ is…
Arithmetic duality theorems over a local field $k$ are delicate to prove if $\mathrm{char} k > 0$. In this case, the proofs often exploit topologies carried by the cohomology groups $H^n(k, G)$ for commutative finite type $k$-group schemes…
We prove the vanishing of bounded cohomology with separable dual coefficients for many groups of interest in geometry, dynamics, and algebra. These include compactly supported structure-preserving diffeomorphism groups of certain manifolds;…
We make explicit some conditions on a semi-abelian category D such that, for any abelian group A in D and any object Y in D, the cohomology group homomorphisms with coefficients in A, induced by the inclusion of the abelian objects of D at…
We point out a simple characterisation of topological amenability in terms of bounded cohomology, following Johnson's reformulation of amenability.
Let $K$ be a finite extension of the $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb Q_p$ with ring of integers $\mathcal O_K$, $\mathcal X$ a regular scheme, proper, flat, and geometrically irreducible over $\mathcal O_K$ of dimension $d$, and $\mathcal X_K$…
Monod proved that any continuous cohomology of a semisimple Lie group $G$ can be represented by a measurable cocycle on the associated Furstenberg boundary, which we upgraded to an alternating cocycle. In the current paper we improve that…
We prove that the groups of orientation-preserving homeomorphisms and diffeomorphisms of $\mathbb{R}^n$ are boundedly acyclic, in all regularities. This is the first full computation of the bounded cohomology of a transformation group that…
We introduce the notions of definable amenability and extreme definable amenability for groups in continuous structures and conduct an extensive analysis of them, drawing parallels with the classical first-order case. We characterize both…
We study amenability of definable and topological groups. Among our main technical tools is an elaboration on and strengthening of the Massicot-Wagner version of the stabilizer theorem, and some results around measures. As an application we…
We define bounded cohomology of $t$-discrete measured groupoids with coefficients into measurable bundles of Banach spaces. Our approach via homological algebra extends the classic theory developed by Ivanov and by Monod. As a consequence,…
Let L be an ample line bundle on a (geometrically reduced) projective variety X over any complete valued field. Our main result describes the leading asymptotics of the determinant of cohomology of large powers of L, with respect to the…
We construct multiplicative norms on equivariant nonconnective algebraic $K$-theory for finite groups $G$. We also construct a genuine equivariant version of THH equipped with a Dennis trace map from K-theory compatible with the…
We prove definable versions of the Universal Coefficient Theorems of Eilenberg--Mac Lane expressing the (Steenrod) homology groups of a compact metrizable space in terms of its integral cohomology groups, and the (\v{C}ech) cohomology…
Given some non-Archimedean field $\mathbb{K}$ and some $\mathbb{K}$-linear space $X$, the usual way to define a norm over $X$ involves the {\em ultrametric inequality} $\|x+y\|\leq\max\{\|x\|,\|y\|\}$. In this note we will try to analyse…
The original definition of amenability given by von Neumann in the highly non-constructive terms of means was later recast by Day using approximately invariant probability measures. Moreover, as it was conjectured by Furstenberg and proved…
Let X be an arbitrary hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let G be a countable non-elementary weakly acylindrical group of isometries of X. We show that the second bounded cohomology group of G with real coefficients or with coefficients…
