We prove new separability results about free groups. Namely, if $H_1, \ldots , H_k$ are infinite index, finitely generated subgroups of a non-abelian free group $F$, then there exists a homomorphism onto some alternating group $f:F…

We present a new completely effective proof of the Lindemann-Weierstrass theorem based on algebraic independence methods. Although it is slightly weaker than the best known estimate due to A. Sert, it improves the best estimate due to M.…

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…

In this paper, we establish a simple criterion for two $L$-functions $L_1$ and $L_2$ satisfying a functional equation (and some natural assumptions) to have infinitely many distinct zeros. Some related questions have already been answered…

On metric spaces equipped with doubling measures, we prove that a differentiability theorem holds for Lipschitz functions if and only if the space supports nontrivial (metric) derivations in the sense of Weaver that satisfy an additional…

Just like group actions are represented by group automorphisms, Lie algebra actions are represented by derivations: up to isomorphism, a split extension of a Lie algebra $B$ by a Lie algebra $X$ corresponds to a Lie algebra morphism $B\to…

We associate a 2-complex to the following data: a presentation of a semigroup $S$ and a transitive action of $S$ on a set $V$ by partial transformations. The automorphism group of the action acts properly discontinuously on this 2-complex.…

Let M be a complete metric space. It is proved that if the space or scalar-valued bounded continuous functions on M admits an isometric shift, then M is separable.

This article takes the inspiration from two milestones in the study of non minimal actions of groups on the circle: Duminy's theorem about the number of ends of semi-exceptional leaves and Ghys' freeness result in analytic regularity. Our…

We introduce and study the notions of boundary actions and of the Furstenberg boundary of a discrete quantum group. As for classical groups, properties of boundary actions turn out to encode significant properties of the operator algebras…

We give a criterion for maps on ultrametric spaces to be surjective and to preserve spherical completeness. We show how Hensel's Lemma and the multi-dimensional Hensel's Lemma follow from our result. We give an easy proof that the latter…

We study the expressive power of fragments of inclusion and independence logic defined either by restricting the number of universal quantifiers or the arity of inclusion and independence atoms in formulas. Assuming the so-called lax…

We prove that algebraic isomorphisms between limit algebras are automatically continuous, and consider consequences of this result. In particular, we give partial solutions to a conjecture of Power [Limit Algebras, Longman, 1992, Notes to…

Let $R$ denote a 2-fir. The notions of F-independence and algebraic subsets of R are defined. The decomposition of an algebraic subset into similarity classes gives a simple way of translating the F-independence in terms of dimension of…

We give sound and complete Hilbert-style axiomatizations for propositional dependence logic (PD), modal dependence logic (MDL), and extended modal dependence logic (EMDL) by extending existing axiomatizations for propositional logic and…

If an outer (multilinear) commutator identity holds in a large subgroup of a group, then it holds also in a large characteristic subgroup. Similar assertions are valid for algebras and their ideals or subspaces. Varying the meaning of the…

We prove a structure theorem for finite-dimensional indefinite-signature metric 3-Lie algebras admitting a maximally isotropic centre. This algebraic condition indicates that all the negative-norm states in the associated Bagger-Lambert…

In this paper, we study the notion of a separability idempotent in the C*-algebra framework. This is analogous to the notion in the purely algebraic setting, typically considered in the case of (finite-dimensional) algebras with identity,…

Let $\Omega$ denote an algebra of sets and $\mu$ a $\sigma$-finite measure. We then prove that the completion of $\Omega$ under the pseudometric $d(A,B)$ = $\mu^{\ast}(A \triangle B)$ is $\sigma$-algebra isomorphic and isometric to the…

We establish new metric characterizations for the norm (respectively, ultraweak) closure of the convex hull of a bounded set in an arbitrary $C^*$-algebra (respectively, von Neumann algebra), and provide applications of these results to the…
