We prove that every topological action of a countable group on a metrizable space can be realized as a bi-Lipschitz action with respect to some compatible metric. This extends a result due to U. Hamenst\"{a}dt regarding finitely generated…

For a continuous action $G\curvearrowright X$ of a countable group on a compact metrizable space we show that the following are equivalent: (i) the action $G\curvearrowright X$ has the small boundary property and no finite orbits, (ii) for…

We prove that every acylindrically hyperbolic group admits a minimal and extremely proximal action on a compact metrizable space. If there are no nontrivial finite normal subgroups, then the action is topologically free. This answers…

We prove that any ergodic measure-preserving action of an irreducible lattice in a semisimple group, with finite center and each simple factor having rank at least two, either has finite orbits or has finite stabilizers. The same dichotomy…

We prove that a partial action is amenable if and only if so is its Morita enveloping action. As applications we prove that any partial representation of a discrete group is positive definite, and we extend a result of Zeller-Meier…

We prove that each metrizable space (of cardinality less or equal to continuum) has a (first countable) uniform Eberlein compactification and each scattered metrizable space has a scattered hereditarily paracompact compactification. Each…

A group is said to be strongly amenable if each of its proximal topological actions has a fixed point. We show that a finitely generated group is strongly amenable if and only if it is virtually nilpotent. More generally, a countable…

It is shown that each discrete countable infinite amenable group admits a 0-entropy mixing action on a standard probability space.

In 2022, using methods from ergodic theory, Kra, Moreira, Richter, and Robertson resolved a longstanding conjecture of Erd\H{o}s about sumsets in large subsets of the natural numbers. In this paper, we extend this result to several…

We initiate the study of a measurable analogue of small topological full groups that we call $\mathrm L^1$ full groups. These groups are endowed with a Polish group topology which admits a natural complete right invariant metric. We mostly…

We prove that for any compact zero-dimensional metric space $X$ on which an infinite countable amenable group $G$ acts freely by homeomorphisms, there exists a dynamical quasitiling with good covering, continuity, F{\o}lner and dynamical…

Let $\rho_0$ be an action of a Lie group on a manifold with boundary that is transitive on the interior. We study the set of actions that are topologically conjugate to $\rho_0$, up to smooth or analytic change of coordinates. We show that…

In this work we introduce and study a new notion of amenability for actions of locally compact groups on $C^*$-algebras. Our definition extends the definition of amenability for actions of discrete groups due to Claire…

We study fluctuations of ergodic averages generated by actions of amenable groups. In the setting of an abstract ergodic theorem for locally compact second countable amenable groups acting on uniformly convex Banach spaces, we deduce a…

By previous work of Giordano and the author, ergodic actions of $\Z$ (and other discrete groups) are completely classified measure-theoretically by their dimension space, a construction analogous to the dimension group used in C*-algebras…

We study actions of countable discrete groups which are amenable in the sense that there exists a mean on X which is invariant under the action of G. Assuming that G is nonamenable, we obtain structural results for the stabilizer subgroups…

We initiate a quantitative study of measure equivalence (and orbit equivalence) between finitely generated groups, which extends the classical setting of $\mathrm L^p$ measure equivalence. In this paper, our main focus will be on amenable…

We present a classification theorem for a class of unital simple separable amenable ${\cal Z}$-stable $C^*$-algebras by the Elliott invariant. This class of simple $C^*$-algebras exhausts all possible Elliott invariant for unital stably…

We prove that a generic p.m.p. action of a countable amenable group $G$ has scaling entropy that can not be dominated by a given rate of growth. As a corollary, we obtain that there does not exist a topological action of $G$ for which the…
