It is proved that a discrete group G is exact if and only if its left translation action on the Stone-Cech compactification is amenable. Combining this with an unpublished result of Gromov, we have the existence of non exact discrete…

In this article, we classify all symmetric generalized numerical semigroups in $\mathbb{N}^d$ of embedding dimension $2d+1$. Consequently, we show that in this case the property of being symmetric is equivalent to have a unique maximal gap…

A (discrete) group is called amenable whenever there exists a finitely additive right invariant probablity measure on it. For Thompson's group $F$ the problem whether it is amenable is a long-standing open question. We consider presentation…

Let $G$ be a group that admits a cocompact classifying space for proper actions $X$. We derive a formula for the Bredon cohomological dimension for proper actions of $G$ in terms of the relative cohomology with compact support of certain…

We prove that every dynamical system $X$ with free action of a countable amenable group $G$ by homeomorphisms has a zero-dimensional extension $Y$ which is faithful and principal, i.e. every $G$-invariant measure $\mu$ on $X$ has exactly…

We prove that, if a discrete group $G$ is not inner amenable, then the unit group of the ring of operators affiliated with the group von Neumann algebra of $G$ is non-amenable with respect to the topology generated by its rank metric. This…

We introduce a notion of mean cohomological independence dimension for actions of discrete amenable groups on compact metrizable spaces, as a variant of mean dimension, and use it to obtain lower bounds for the radius of comparison of the…

We provide a tool for studying properly discontinuous actions of non-compact groups on locally compact, connected and paracompact spaces, by embedding such an action in a suitable zero-dimensional compactification of the underlying space…

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…

Let (X,Z) be a minimal dynamical system on a compact metric X and k an integer such that mdim X< k. We show that (X,Z) admits an equivariant embedding in the shift (D^k)^Z where D is a superdendrite.

We show that if $(X,T)$ is an extension of an aperiodic subshift (a subsystem of $({1,2,...,l}^{\mathbb{Z}},\mathrm{shift})$ for some $l\in\mathbb{N}$) and has mean dimension $mdim(X,T)<\frac{D}{2}$ $(D\in \mathbb{N}$), then it embeds…

We prove that amenability of a discrete group is equivalent to dimension flatness of certain ring inclusions naturally associated with measure preserving actions of the group. This provides a group-measure space theoretic solution to a…

We define and study notions of amenability and skew-amenability of continuous actions of topological groups on compact topological spaces. Our main motivation is the question under what conditions amenability of a topological group passes…

We prove a weak form of the mean ergodic theorem for actions of amenable locally compact quantum groups in the von Neumann algebra setting.

The \emph{action dimension} of a discrete group $G$ is the minimum dimension of a contractible manifold, which admits a proper $G$-action. In this paper, we study the action dimension of general Artin groups. The main result is that the…

In the current paper we attempt to transfer the notion of the projectional entropy, originally defined for multidimensional subshifts, to the case of actions of amenable groups. The main theorem states that if a system is strongly…

We generalize Gabor's notion of topological Rokhlin dimension of $\mathbb{Z}^k$-actions on compact metric space to a class of general discrete countable amenable group actions which involves the approximate subgroup structure. Then with…

We present a general new method for constructing pointwise ergodic sequences on countable groups, which is applicable to amenable as well as to non-amenable groups and treats both cases on an equal footing. The principle underlying the…

Let $X$ be a non-degenerate connected compact metric space. If $X$ admits a distal minimal action by a finitely generated amenable group, then the first \vCech cohomology group $ {\check H}^1(X)$ with integer coefficients is nontrivial. In…

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…
