Every topological group $G$ has some natural compactifications which can be a useful tool of studying $G$. We discuss the following constructions: (1) the greatest ambit $S(G)$ is the compactification corresponding to the algebra of all…

We give a classification and complete algebraic description of groups allowing only finitely many (left multiplication invariant) circular orders. In particular, they are all solvable groups with a specific semi-direct product…

Following a recent paper by Herrlich and Tachtsis, we investigate in ZFC the following compactness question: for which unountable cardinals $\kappa$, an arbitrary nonempty system $S$ of homogeneous $\mathbb Z$-linear equations is…

By an $\ell$-group $G$ we mean a lattice-ordered abelian group. This paper is concerned with the category $\FP$ of finitely presented {\it unital} $\ell$-groups, those $\ell$-groups having a distinguished order-unit $u$. Using the duality…

It is proved that any countable index, universally measurable subgroup of a Polish group is open. By consequence, any universally measurable homomorphism from a Polish group into the infinite symmetric group $S_\infty$ is continuous. It is…

We establish conditions under which the universal and reduced norms coincide for a Fell bundle over a groupoid. Specifically, we prove that the full and reduced C*-algebras of any Fell bundle over a measurewise amenable groupoid coincide,…

Extending a result of the first author and Katsura, we prove that for every UHF algebra $A$ of infinite type, in every uncountable cardinality $\kappa$ there are $2^\kappa$ nonisomorphic approximately matricial C*-algebras with the same…

We consider majorization problems in the non-commutative setting. More specifically, suppose $E$ and $F$ are ordered normed spaces (not necessarily lattices), and $0 \leq T \leq S :E \to F$. If $S$ belongs to a certain ideal (for instance,…

Let $G$ be an infinite locally compact group and $\aleph$ a cardinal satisfying $\aleph_0\le\aleph\le w(G)$ for the weight $w(G)$ of $G$. It is shown that there is a closed subgroup $N$ of $G$ with $w(N)=\aleph$. Sample consequences are:…

For any left orderable group G, we recall from work of McCleary that isolated points in the space of left orderings correspond to basic elements in the free lattice ordered group over G. We then establish a new connection between the…

We show that every homomorphism from the infinite-dimensional unitary or orthogonal group to a separable group is continuous.

To every Fell bundle $\mathscr C$ over a locally compact group ${\sf G}$ one associates a Banach $^*$-algebra $L^1({\sf G}\,\vert\,\mathscr C)$. We prove that it is symmetric whenever ${\sf G}$ with the discrete topology is rigidly…

We prove that simple, separable, monotracial UHF $L^{p}$-operator algebras are not classifiable up to (complete) isomorphism using countable structures, such as K-theoretic data, as invariants. The same assertion holds even if one only…

An important classical result in ZFC asserts that every infinite cardinal number is idempotent. Using this fact, we obtain several algebraic results in this article. The first result asserts that an infinite Abelian group has a proper…

We note a characterization of the amenability of unitary representations (in the sense of Bekka) via the existence of an orthonormal basis supporting an invariant probability charge. Based on this, we explore several natural notions of…

Given a cover $\mathbb{U}$ of a family of smooth complex algebraic varieties, we associate with it a class $\mathcal{U},$ containing $\mathbb{U}$, of structures locally definable in an o-minimal expansion of the reals. We prove that the…

Let $X \overset{f}\longrightarrow S$ be a morphism of Noetherian schemes, with $S$ reduced. For any closed subscheme $Z$ of $X$ finite over $S$, let $j$ denote the open immersion $X\setminus Z \hookrightarrow X$. Koll\'ar asked whether for…

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…

Let $H$ be an acylindrically hyperbolic group without nontrivial finite normal subgroups. We show that any finite system $S$ of equations with constants from $H$ is equivalent to a single equation. We also show that the algebraic set…

We indicate a way of distinguishing between structures, for which, two structures are said to be separable.Being separable implies being non-isomorphic. We show that for any first order theory $T$ in a countable language, if it has an…
