The aim of this paper is to introduce the notion of $a$-locally closed set by utilizing $a$-open sets defined by Ekici and to study some properties of this new notion. Also, some characterizations and many fundamental results regarding this…
We study locally compact group topologies on semisimple Lie groups. We show that the Lie group topology on such a group $S$ is very rigid: every 'abstract' isomorphism between $S$ and a locally compact and $\sigma$-compact group $\Gamma$ is…
We study locally compact convergence groups, in particular the link between the convergence property and the Specker compactifications (a genaralization of the ends) of a group.
We investigate the notion of soficity for monoids. A group is sofic as a group if and only if it is sofic as a monoid. All finite monoids, all commutative monoids, all free monoids, all cancellative one-sided amenable monoids, all…
Recently Lewis Bowen introduced a notion of entropy for measure-preserving actions of countable sofic groups admitting a generating measurable partition with finite entropy; and then David Kerr and Hanfeng Li developed an operator-algebraic…
The notion of analyticity is studied in the context of hypercomplex numbers. A critical review of the problems arising from the conventional approach is given. We describe a local analyticity condition which yields the desired type of…
We give a brief introduction to the notion of an 'approximate group' and some of its numerous applications.
We construct an analogue of Neumann's affiliated algebras for sofic group algebras over arbitrary fields. Consequently, we settle Kaplansky's direct finiteness conjecture for sofic groups.
We examine several definitions of soficity for monoids obtained by generalizing various definitions of sofic groups. They are not all equivalent and include the definition recently introduced by Ceccherini-Silberstein and Coornaert. One of…
We consider metric versions of the notions of local embeddability and LEF. We pay special attention to normally finitely generated groups with word metrics.
We survey several notions of entropy related to a compact manifold of negative curvature, some relations between them, and the rigidity problems.
In this note we study a family of graphs of groups over arbitrary base graphs where all vertex groups are isomorphic to a fixed countable sofic group $G$, and all edge groups $H<G$ are such that the embeddings of $H$ into $G$ are identical…
The theory of p-local compact groups, developed in an earlier paper by the same authors, is designed to give a unified framework in which to study the p-local homotopy theory of classifying spaces of compact Lie groups and p-compact groups,…
We consider groups of finite Morley rank with solvable local subgroups of even and mixed types. We also consider miscellaneous aspects of small groups of finite Morley rank of odd type.
The paper is devoted to generalizations of actions of topological groups on manifolds. Instead of a topological group, we consider a local topological group generalizing the notion of a~germ or a~neighborhood in a topological group. The…
We introduce the notion of compactifiable classes -- these are classes of metrizable compact spaces that can be up to homeomorphic copies ``disjointly combined'' into one metrizable compact space. This is witnessed by so-called compact…
The notion of entropy appears in many fields and this paper is a survey about entropies in several branches of Mathematics. We are mainly concerned with the topological and the algebraic entropy in the context of continuous endomorphisms of…
Locally compact abelian groups are classified in which the sum of any two closed subgroups is itself closed. This amounts to reproving and extending results by Yu.~N.~Mukhin from 1970. Namely we contribute a complete classification of all…
In this survey, we report on the state of the art of some of the fundamental problems in the Lie theory of Lie groups modeled on locally convex spaces, such as integrability of Lie algebras, integrability of Lie subalgebras to Lie…
This appendix provides a connection between discrete localities and the p-local compact groups of Broto, Levi, and Oliver.
