This thesis is devoted to the proof of a theorem showing the existence of a closed model category structure for weakly enriched categories. It requires first of all the definitions of weakly enriched categories and equivalences of weakly…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the embeddings $\Lambda\text{BV}^{(p)}\subseteq \Gamma\text{BV}^{(q_n\uparrow q)}$ and $\Phi\text{BV}\subseteq\text{BV}^{(q_n\uparrow q)}$. As a consequence, a number of results in the…

We give a proof, based on thermodynamic formalism, of a theorem in bounded cohomology extending a foundational result of Burger and Monod: if $\Gamma$ is an irreducible uniform lattice in a non-compact connected semisimple Lie group of real…

Let $\Gamma$ be an infinite discrete subgroup of Gl$_n(\mathbb{C})$. Then either $(\mathbb{R}, <, +, \cdot, \Gamma)$ is interdefinable with $(\mathbb{R}, <, +, \cdot, \lambda^\mathbb{Z})$ for some $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}$, or $(\mathbb{R},…

A square complex is a 2-complex formed by gluing squares together. This article is concerned with the fundamental group $\Gamma$ of certain square complexes of nonpositive curvature, related to quaternion algebras. The abelian subgroup…

The superamalgamation property is a strong form of the amalgamation property which applies to ordered structures; it has found many applications in algebraic logic. We show that superamalgamation has some interest also from the pure…

For several instances of metric largeness like enlargeability or having hyperspherical universal covers, we construct non-large vector subspaces in the rational homology of finitely generated groups. The functorial properties of this…

For an arbitrary valued field $(K,v)$ and a given extension $v(K^*)\hookrightarrow\Lambda$ of ordered groups, we analyze the structure of the tree formed by all $\Lambda$-valued extensions of $v$ to the polynomial ring $K[x]$. As an…

We present a general method to extend results on Hilbert space operators to the Banach space setting by representing certain sets of Banach space operators $\Gamma$ on a Hilbert space. Our assumption on $\Gamma$ is expressed in terms of…

Let $G$ be a finite abelian group and $A$ a subset of $G$. The spectrum of $A$ is the set of its large Fourier coefficients. Known combinatorial results on the structure of spectrum, such as Chang's theorem, become trivial in the regime…

For uniform lattices $\Gamma$ in rank 1 Lie groups, we construct Anosov representations of virtual doubles of $\Gamma$ along certain quasiconvex subgroups. We also show that virtual HNN extensions of these lattices over some cyclic…

We determine all factorisations $X=AB$, where $X$ is a finite almost simple group and $A,B$ are core-free subgroups such that $A\cap B$ is cyclic or dihedral. As a main application, we classify the graphs $\Gamma$ admitting an almost simple…

We introduce extensions of the multidimensional Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}^n$ by two-parameter groups of dilations, and then classify the extended groups up to isomorphism, by employing Lie algebra techniques. We show that the groups are…

In this paper we prove that for each dimension $n$ there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of pairs of groups $(\Gamma,\mathrm{N})$ such that $\Gamma$ is an $n$-dimensional crystallographic group and $\mathrm{N}$ is a normal…

We define simplicial and dimension $\Gamma$-groups, the generalizations of simplicial and dimension groups to the case when these groups have an action of an arbitrary group $\Gamma.$ Assuming that the integral group ring of $\Gamma$ is…

Any algebra herein is intended over a field of characteristic 0. Let $E$ denote the infinite dimensional Grassman algebra. Given a power associative finite dimensional {$\mathbb{Z}_2$-graded-central-simple} $A$ and a supertrace algebra $B$,…

For a congruence subgroup $\Gamma$, we define the notion of $\Gamma$-equivalence on binary quadratic forms which is the same as proper equivalence if $\Gamma = \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$. We develop a theory on $\Gamma$-equivalence such as…

Let $G$ be the group of all order-preserving self-maps of the real line. In previous work, the first two authors constructed a pre-Tannakian category $\underline{\mathrm{Rep}}(G)$ associated to $G$. The present paper is a detailed study of…

Given an action of a group $\Gamma$ on a measure space $\Omega$, we provide a sufficient criterion under which two sets $A, B\subseteq \Omega$ are measurably equidecomposable, i.e., $A$ can be partitioned into finitely many measurable…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a small category, $\mathfrak{A}$ be a precosheaf of unital $k$-algebras on $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathfrak{M}$ be an $\mathfrak{A}$-bimodule. We introduce two new notions, namely, the Grothendieck construction…
